Any idea on how much would it cost to replace my screen? I don't have anything to prove warranty so that means I'll have to pay for it. If someone wants to know why I want to replace my screen it is because it has suffered (humidity?) damage. About 2*2cm area has changed its color to grey/red.

You are looking at a price £100 ($130) or above
Sgs1 replacement displays cost around 150$. So I'm guessing it might be around 170$

in italy touch for sgs1 200 € in date 15/07/2011 in samsung center
Watch some videos on youtube first, before you order a screen.
Theres a difference between just the screen or the whole front housing.
If you only get a replacement screen(ebay, 100-150€), you may need a heatgun.
I dont think its very easy to replace the screen on your own, though i never did it.
Its much easier to get the whole front housing(not shure, but maybe 150-200€), where the screen is already glued into. Although its more expensive, it might be worth the price.
Hi,
If you want to do it yourself, I would recomend buying the whole front, concidering the price difference, safe yourself the hassle and replace it all, its just some screws!
Good luck
In Indonesia Samsung Center I changed it for around 90USD..
in indonesia Rp.1.100.000 or its +- $130
click thanks button if i help you
I thought the glass front is just stuck down with strong double sided tape.
Seen a video somewhere where it can be prised off, which could get access to dry it out. May need some new tape to stick it back down though.
by the way an idea how much the mother board ?
My sgs 3 has a small cracks in it, on the top right near the camera and it's really just annoying me and I want to get it fixed. I just want to know my best screen repair options, I know it's going to expensive , but what's the the best?

There's a seller on ebay selling just the glass for the white model for $26.68. If your digitizer and screen are ok, this is by far your best bet. Even if your phone isn't white and you want to stick with blue, you'd be better off switching the rear cover to white and selling it as a white model. And buy another blue one.
Full screen assembly is $230, which is close to what Samsung charges to replace it.
How high was the drop? Did you have a case on it? Just curious questions...since this phone seems to be fragile due to the large screen.
When I called samsung they said they didn't have a price for the repairs, how did you find out how much they charge?
And also the fall was kinda far onto cement. I was getting out of the car to put gas in and the phone was in my lap and it fell.
Also i had a case on it. The ROCK cases btw i love the look of the case but the screen cracked directly where the case didn't cover the phone which was the top
Someone in the US with an international phone cracked theirs and sent it in.
I posted this in the Sprint GS3 area to but I just really need an answer to this.
So my friend dropped her phone in the rain (go ahead and gasp, I know I did) and cracked the screen. luckily there was no water damage to the phone but she now has a spider web screck going across the screen. I looked on ebay and see plenty of replacement screens but no where does it mention the digitizer. every sammy I've owned since the og GS has had the digitizer and screen connected. can anyone verify if this is the same or has sammy changed their ways?
Yes they are all in one piece, roughly 200-300 dollars to buy.

Why is it wrong forum and why no? I guess it's right forum but wrong section though (a question should be posted in q&a). In my opinion the screens may be replaceable as they are dimensionally the same. If I'm wrong then please direct me to a source of your information.
The real question is that why would you want to do that?

Maybe his is smashed like mine was today. Luckily I found a place that had screens for blue s3 and managed to get there before they closed. As far as I know, they use the same screen for the lte variants available here.

Because he owns sprint device and there is special forum dedicated to it. And because everything is connected to the screen inside. Another reason his device contains different hardware. Happy?

I'm a technician at a major repair facility that does mostly work on Samsung and Apple products. Ironic right?
I've replaced a few Galaxy S3 screens lately.
The answer is YES, all Galaxy S3 front glass digitizer and lcd assemblies are interchangeable between all US carriers and international versions.
They are all the same international GT-I9300 part number, I opened up a Verizon GS3 today and part of the flex cable that goes to bottom two capacitive touch sensors even say GT-I9300 on it.
Thanks so much that the answer I needed

Oh and one more thing to add. Do not get fooled into buying those "glass only" front panel replacement kits on ebay for $20-$30. You'll just end up with a nice conversation piece on how you got scammed out of $20-30. I do not even know why they sell those for, they even include these cheap ass tools making it look more legit, like there is somehow a way to actually replace it. It's a full on scam if you ask me. I feel sorry for the poor saps who pick up broken glass S3's on ebay for $350-400 thinking it will only cost them $30 bucks to replace the screen and they'll have a like new S3. Suckers....
It is 100 percent impossible to replace just the front glass panel on the Galaxy S3. The glass panel is fused entirely to the LCD, and the whole LCD is glued to the frame. There is no way to "separate" the glass from the LCD without destroying both.
Bottom line, you need to purchase the LCD and Glass Digitizer as a complete assembly, around $200. To make life easier, you should buy it with the frame also, around $220-240 so you won't have to curse and ***** when you try to pull your old LCD and digitzer from your old frame,broken piece by piece.

Just checked the technician guide for the Sprint version.
Screen is AMS480GY01. So it's the exact same one as the GT-I9300 and any other US carrier (TMO,ATT,Verizon).
LIKE I SAID BEFORE.....All GS3's Screens/LCDs are interchangeable between all versions of the GS3.
Out of curiosity, what makes you think the Sprint version is so different than any other S3 version which would warrant a completely different screen/samoled assembly?
It's obvious you have never repaired the screen on a Galaxy S3 yet you're challenging a senior level technician who repair these things everyday @ a logic board component level. Our repair levels go way deeper into these units, way beyond what Samsung authorized warranty service centers even have capabilities to do.
Yes. You can seperate and change just the glass.
It is 100% possible and in fact not all that difficult to replace just the gorilla glass on the GS3. I have done it three times. If you heat the glass and pry it up with a feeler guage, it will begin to seperate. Once you get it going it will come off quite easily and leave the LCD behind. Here is the toughest part. Now you need to get the LCD/digitizer portion off the frame without snapping it. Turn the frame to the pack and heat it with a heat gun. Now get a long feeler guage under one corner and push it straight to the bottom. Be careful not to go too far and damage the bottom/ribbon portion of the LCD. Now just continue that process across the back of the LCD like a slim jim till its free. Now all you need is a gorilla glass with adhesive. Any reputable parts supplier can get them on request and they come with the "Optically Clear" adhesive already applied. Just spray a generous application of alcohol on the front of the cleaned LCD/Digitizer panel, peal the paper cover off the back side of the glass and carefully apply it to the LCD. You have about 10 seconds to play and align the LCD with all the alcohol on it before it will start to get sticky.

Does this include the screen that cones with the bezel or just the screen and digitizer by itself? Also, do you know if you can change the backing of the sprint lcd/bezel and replace it with a gsm backing (the one that has the sim card opening)? Thanks for your time.

In short, unless you ready to use heat gun and separate screen (it is not lcd) from assembly, possibly damaging it or deal with the dust trapped under, or working in dust proof facility, answer is no.
The front frame assembly is 100 percent NOT compatible between international and nam versions due to different chip sets and motherboard which is indented on magnesium frame to sit properly.

man, I wish I saw this sooner. I did just this and screwed the whole thing up! now I am going to have to pay the big bucks to get it fixed.
any advice on WHERE to send it? someone suggested mobiletechsvideo.com but was wondering if you knew of any other?
thanks.
Anyone know were I can buy a LCD screen for my note? My son busted it and not the touch screen will not work. I found some online but they want $200 for it and Samsung will fix it for $198. I am looking to spend around $100 if possible. If I can't find the part I will be selling it for a fair price.
Pm me if you like to make an offer.

The screen is really several things and built as a unit, so $200-ish is the going rate. The only way to get it for less is if someone will sell you a bricked note for cheap, but then you have all that labor.
Samsung will restore it to new condition, anything else, not so much.

I have seen the videos on how to replace it and I know I could do it. The problem with buying a bricked phone would be taking the screen off. It looks like the screens break into lots of little pieces when removing.

I just replaced the OLED/Digitizer on my Note.
I don't know if you're just broken the OLED or the digitizer and OLED, but I doubt you will be able to find a screen assembly for less than $180.
I've never seen a seller selling just the OLED, although I have seen just the digitizers on sale for around $20.
