Hi all,
The screen my S3 is definitely off! only the upper right corner was barely visible for a few more hours and at the end all became dark.
The glass is intact, the touch function and the phone works, kies recognize it and I even had retrieved the photos from it .
I guess that is the LCD is out of order or do you think that I have to check anything else?
The price of a LCD in Internet is 229 € definitely so expensive.
It will work if I use a LCD from a bricked S3 ? did Samsung uses different version of hardware on the S3?
Thank you in advance your opinions

I'd ask about the problem from your local service center and try to get it repaired in warranty.
Especially if there's no physical evidense of drops or hits in the phone.
If you live somewhere in scandinavia, it shouldn't matter if you're rooted or not.
Edit:
And yes, you can use the screen from a bricked S3.

tell him to return it back to the shop he got it from for repair or replacement
It's not software bug, I'm pretty sure.
Something broken inside, and it'll be great if they don't need to replace the dispaly, because it's a bit too expensive.
This happened to my old Samsung phone. *Not an S3* Just had to open it back up and one of those weird square thingys for the display was partially on.
Definitely seems to be a hardware prob, maybe the display got damaged. Only option is to return to the shop for repair, or if lucky a replacement .
I'm having problems with my phone. My warranty is already over btw. My phone is having a black screen, but the touchscreen works. The rest of the phone works. Vibration, keypad buttons etc. I disassembled my phone, removing the front screen (I think its the digitizer/touchscreen) with the connection. Without the front screen, the phone display will light up and I'm able to see everything, but I cannot touch or move anything on that display. I presume its the LCD screen. So now, whenever I connect the digitizer to the phone, the screen of the LCD turns black again. Now, if I loosely fit the connecting wire to the phone from the digitizer, both display and touchscreen will work. But if I connect it properly, the screen turns black again. Correct me if I'm wrong in the screen names. I need advice on what I should do. Thanks!
the same problem for what i asked advice before...but i have sent it for repair some 20 days ago and its still under repair...mine is still in warranty...so i didnt fiddle with it.
what charger you use? i think my display went dead bcoz of the samsung charger...now i swear not to buy any sony handset ever...never faced a problem with nokia sets for over 10 years...i think i overdosed my handset with flashing and charging...anyway...thats a hardware problem so you better take assistance from a service centre.

I've sent to the Sony service centre. Luckily they accepted it. Same, I have never faced a problem with Nokia phones before. Still good and running. I'll never buy a Sony product again
Too bad Nokia doesn't build Android devices. If it does, I'll certainly buy one. Despite the software Nokia phones had always been the strongest. But I doubt a charger will cause such problems...
hi there, i recently changed my screen on my HTC G2, (the previous screen was cracked when it was given to me, and would cut me while i was trying to use it, and Tmobile refused to help with the problem at all, and the repair shops around where i live are charging an arm and a leg to do the repair, i am a college student and can not afford a $60 repair on a free phone) ANYWAY... the problem i am having is: where when i had the cracked screen the home, menu, back, and search screen buttons all worked FINE, now that i have changed the screen those touch buttons do not work at all. this has rendered my phone useless and i still can not afford to take it somewhere to get it fixed nor can i afford to buy more parts for this phone, and i can not buy another phone.
what should i do? is there a way to fix this problem? please help before i lose work because of a problem phone.
same problem :s
Hi guys,
Going to pick my Mum`s phone up from Vodafone today after it was placed in for repair and they stated it`ll be £150 to repair. She took it in as the phone started to bootloop, Samsung screen the reboot. She took it into Vodafone and they sent it off, the answer back was that the "chip behind the screen" was damaged and that was her fault and would cost £150 to repair.
Couple of question, what is the "chip behind the screen"?
If the chip is there what does it do and would it stop the phone from booting?
Is it repairable and if so could it be done at home cheaper?
Should I try a Samsung Service Center instead?
She said that she was having issues with the phone before it died, sluggishness, unresponsiveness and random reboots, then dead.
Cheers in advance guys,
Blinky
"Chip behind the screen" doesn't really mean much. I would ask them to be explicit. Since the screen covers 90% of the front of the phone, almost all the chips the phone has are behind the screen.
Sorry, I have just been informed that she was told it was the chip that controls the LCD screen? I would presume that if the touchscreen chip is dead then the phone would boot to the OS and you wouldn`t be able to control it and if the chip was good and the screen was knackered then you would not see the screen come on.
If the phone is stuck in a bootloop then wouldn`t that be a system board problem?
cheers
Blinky
yes

Well hang on.....
Its an SAMOLED not LCD, but thats not the main thing I need to identify here. Just FYI, the SAMOLED screen (Display Panel) and the touchscreen, although on this phone, mostly provided in a single unit - are actually 2 individual parts. You do not touch the display panel to get touch input.
Essentially from the outside in, you have:
1) Gorilla glass tough glass protector
2) Digitiser film (to translate electrical disturbances into input)
3) SAMOLED Panel (Display)
I don't really understand what chips control what so what VF are saying still seems ambiguous to me.
But a hardware failure could be picked up by the kernel drivers at boot. The kernel would see an error and a boot loop could ensue, definitely. It just depends on the fault.
Two days ago I bought the Galaxy s4 black from verizon wireless website. Today someone dropped my phone. The screen is cracked and wont turn on. When I press the button the screen turns green for a split second and turns off. Is the limited warranty covering this? I really need this phone and will be in alot of trouble if this is not free/very cheap to fix.

This is not a warranty issue. The warranty will not cover someone dropping your phone. I'm sorry to hear you are in this position.
Your only option is to get the glass, screen / digitizer replaced and hope that is all that is broken. As it is, it won't be cheap to fix but cheaper than buying a new phone at full price.
Or, you could just buy a used one on eBay or Craigs List, just be careful.
