No insurance...game over dude. warranty does not cover stuff like that. You can try and sell it, or pay for the repair yourself.

Whatever! I called T-mo, if I had bought insurance, still would have cost me 130$ to get them to fix it. I called samsung and was quoted 161.25 to replace at factory shop in TX w/ 7 day turnaround.
But DIY is the route I'm going. Just found screen in stock at global direct parts 78.11$ each. only downside is min qty order = 2. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-LCD-Digitizer-p/smsng6085995.htm
HEY OP, wanna split the order w/ me? I'll order today and send as soon as it comes in. PM me quick!!!!
EDIT: Looks like odds are should order the cable too that normally gets broken during removal of old screen

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T959-Motherboard-Flex-Cable-p/smsng6085890.htm 16.48 ea right now but again min qty = 2.
I saw that site.
But what would I need???
Someone told me I cracked the digitizer.
And I see a bunch of.different screens. Lcd this, and amoled that.
Some 75, some 500?????
Wtf is this mess.

Hello once again audience,
I have a question and basically the title says it. The repair shop is going to replace my phone's motherboard, so what does this mean? Does the motherboard come with new core components like the CPU and GPU? Because my phone was water damaged, and I would prefer all the key components replaced along with the motherboard so it wouldn't corrode over time. And of course the CPU might have been worn out? I hope my phone's performance would be as good as new...
Thanks
You might as well buy a new phone if he is replacing everything,most likely it will cost more than a new phone if he is to replace everything and there would be no warranty.
Get a new phone. Cheaper and more reliable option. The motherboard IS the whole brain of the phone. You can get an s3 or s4 for basically the same price

Mobo is about 150 bucks.
But well, you didn't say if warranty/insurance covered your device.
If so, yes, performance will be the same as new.

There is some very strange advice in this thread.
There are several other components that maybe need changing as well as the mb.
If it was me;Id sell it as water damaged on ebay.
And if s4's are the same price as s2's motherboards....Ill take 20.

Lol, as he said if S4's cost the same as S2's motherboard Samsung might have shipped 100 million devices instead of the 10 million. (and I am using only a rate of 10x instead of the underlings 20x).

I reread it and he states that the OP can get an S3 or an S4 for basically the same price as the S2's motherboard?? Wtf? here an S2's motherboard is 8k rupees and and an S3 costs 29k and S4 costs 42k I was just stating that it's not like that at all now, and I quoted you because you said something what I was thinking, and what the hell do you mean I was attempting to change what somebody said, I was saying if the S4 costs that less, the sales would go over the roof.
Edit :The sarcasm was meant for the third poster if that's the problem, when I said "like he said" I was actually referring to your statement "if S4 cost same as S2's motherboard, give me 20" which I thought was a good joke.

Right ok.The OP doesnt need clowns like that guy in post 3 saying a s2 mb is the same price as an s4 phone,this is why I posted originally.
Also I wouldnt bother keeping a water damaged phone;as said earlier maybe just about everything may need replaced.
The OP may get about £100 for it on ebay,and if its any help I could possibly sell him a s3 mini for £100.....so he ends up with a working phone with warranty.
I bought the phone for the wife at xmas unlocked for £300,and Ive given her cash to get an iphone5.

There are genuine sellers on ebay like me,or my wife,but we only sell phones that are fully paid for when we buy them.
But if a seller(and theres loads of them) says hes selling because of "unwanted upgrade" then
1.WTF has he got it if its unwanted
2.Means to me hes still got to pay some sort of contract,and if he doesnt pay phone gets blacklisted.
Anyway,I would try a new usb port kit,and if its still faulty,then stick it on ebay.

Research + eBay + Patience = Save Money
I just replaced the motherboard of my S3 for essentially <$40. I bought an S3 on ebay with a broken screen but good motherboard (keywords like 'it charges', 'turns on', 'vibrates', and 'plays sound' come to mind) and swapped it into my S3 in about 20 minutes or so total with great success. The other super important thing is to verify a clean IMEI / ESN number because that lives on the motherboard too {However, I assume you could inject the 'good' IMEI from your old board into the new one with some pain and research. Not ideal.}
Anyway, yeah, the broken phone cost me a tiny but under $100 including shipping and I resold it just now on ebay for $66 including shipping. Big win, as the random tech guy in my town was going to charge me $220 and said it would almost definitely cost as much or close to as much as buying a new/refurb unit. My functionally and cosmetically perfect phone and the fact that my wallet is only ~$34/35 lighter determined that was a bold faced lie.
Disclosure: I do have electronics experience, but not with phones. And this fix was literally about 10 or so small screws and a few adorable itty bitty lil ribbon cable things. Easy day.
TL;DR-- Enter the Google Fu and observe your enemies upon the fields of eBay to fix things for cheap and/or at least know when it's good time to give up :good:
Hello guys don't know if I am allowed to do that...I have the one now but loved my DNA...my screen cracked and I want to buy another one...main things I want is the phone to be in very good condition along with the original box...if possible also I am in the minority that liked the usb cover....also a wireless charger would be appreciated in the offer....I live in Greece Europe and I am willing to pay around 400usd including shipping via usps priority mail that costs around 30 dollars...willing to accept offers In my inbox!!!!!!

Since you live in Greece, you may want to look into buying a htc butterfly. It's most likely going to be more expensive, but it's the same phone, and you will also have an SD card slot.
I had to choose between those two....when they released I paid full retail price and got the DNA..the details got me...the red power button the red camera ring made my decision...butterfly is a little thicker...although the main thing that I did well and choose it is the development.....DNA has more options than butterfly........

I prefer the black one anyway.
My phone was "white" and my daughters "black", but I swapped backs with her - and she wants the black one back, lol.
Well another update the seller sent a brand new replacement to me and then refunded me I guess I was being a little pushy and annoying but I got my money back and also kept the cases lol I have 3 white now and my old black one.

Verizon has started open enrollment for warranty coverage again. So $10 bucks sounds like a great deal for a new phone and stick the old in a box.
Good luck!

Don't let them fool you lol $10 a month then $99 deductible..not worth it to me..I think the best repair/warranty service offered is by BestBuy.. No deductible..I forget how much a month.. But no ?'s asked when needing a replacement

Are they offering open enrollement for phones not purchased at BestBuy?
Verizon is and $110 would be the cheapest way to get a new phone replacement.
I bought my Note 2 on ebay last year for $200 and cracked my screen with no warrenty.. called Verizon they have open enrollement right now. Only question I was asked was whats wrong with the phone?"screens cracked" New one in the mail next day..cancel the insurance afterwards if you think it's a rip there's no contract on insurance.
I've never dealt with BestBuy so maybe they can fix it right now cheaper then $110

No they wouldn't fix it now that it is broken..but I do believe they offer insurance on phones..but a: they either have to purchased there or b: you take it in and they (geek squad) exams the condition of the phone and then decides from there

Mobiletech does great work. Honestly you can get led combos off of eBay for like 130 and it's super easy to change yourself.

This. I bought the full assembly (AMOLED+Digitizer+Metal Frame) from this guy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191076189569
And followed this tutorial (there were some small differences since he used a Global N2):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo
With some patience and a mini-screwdriver I was able to bring a Note II to like new condition. If you get the full assembly with the frame you should be able to restore the phone to near factory state. I definitely wouldn't try replacing just the glass, or even glass+digitizer without the frame, there's too much risk and you're never going to be able to get the adhesive just right.
@funnyperson1 I thought you had a cheap fix for people with cracked screens it's the same price to have a professional do it lol
Heck... I seen a sweet looking mint VZW SCH-1605 - stuck in a simple bootloop on ebay sell for $150 today free shipping
Sadly there is no cheap way on the note 2. I mean if you wanna risk doing just the glass and curing loca glue then yea.

roflcopterssoisoi is right, there isn't really a good cheap alternative for the Note 2.
You can replace just the glass and reglue yourself for $30, but it's risky and probably won't come out right (at least I know it won't if I do it).
You can get a professional to replace just the glass for around $125 (that's what MobileTechVideos charges)
For around $80-123 you can replace the lcd, digitizer, and glass but that still requires melting adhesive, prying,and hoping you don't mess up.
For between $120-150 you can get lcd, digitizer, and frame and replace the components yourself. This is what I did and it was pretty easy, hard to mess up.
For $200+ you can have Samsung, MobileTech or someone else replace the screen for you.
For me the decision was easy because the digitizer and amoled were completely dead, otherwise the MobileTechVideo repair for $125 is appealing. Still, for a couple bucks extra and an hour of my time I like the idea of having a like new, non-damaged assembly.
Yes almost all the options are expensive, but a working Note 2 goes for $300+ on Swappa and eBay. If you repair it and resell it, you'll probably get your money back. You could probably repair it, use it until the Note4 is released and still get your repair money back.
If you had another phone to use you could even sell the parts for a cracked Note2 for more than $200 total. The motherboard is going for $150-180 on eBay, selling the cracked screen and other parts may add up to $100+. You could certainly get enough to buy the bootloop N2 and fix it via Odin.
