My S3 fell out of my hand and hit the floor on its corner. When i turned it on again the screen was all green and the touch no longer worked. Now when i turn it on nothing shows up and the screen stays black. I was thinking of repairing it myself, so would i need to just buy a new screen or more?

If you use that you must realise that separating the glass from the digitizer is a very tricky fiddly hit and miss process where you are more likely to break than mend in all honesty
I think that the screen is broken too. Because you said that the screen was black after turning it on. Think u need a new display + digitizer. They sell them on ebay for 200 dollar. It's expensive I know but I don't think there's an other option.

Ok, thanks so much for the help everyone!
and there's no guarantee that the screen is the only thing broken.

Then yes, it works, it's just the screen. The OS starts up properly and you are able to interact with it without the screen.
I don't think warranty would cover the screen, probably a cost to get it fixed is required.
If you're lucky, they may replace your phone, but in most cases, they're not likely to do so.

The screen and the glass are fused together, thats why its that expensive online. You can't replace them individually.
that sucks its about 1/5 the price of the phone
well thanks for the help

I would have to agree.
You'd be better off getting a new one.
Hahaha I'm sorry that i'm laughing but the screen cracking and the battery drainage could not have anything in common ^^
Oh no....thanx...
I brought mt GSII to samsung center..
changing processor and screen cost me USD290....is it worth it??
How much is the screen alone? i also have a screen issue, the phone turns on but the screen stays black and sometimes rainbow of colors appear on the left side.
Phone stays on as it gives feedback when i touch different options by guessing!

Hey could someone help me diagnose whats going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1?
I haven't used it in a few days. I knew it was dead. So I went to charge it. It turned on
and the screen is showing crazy ****ed up lines and flickering. I cannot get to recovery or download mode.
My wife says its this "Carbon Rom" that I installed. I say bull****. If it was, I would be able to at least see recovery mode.
To me it seems the video card or screen, whatever produced the picture got screwed up. Please take a look at the pic and let me know what you think. Can this be fixed? Whats the cost? Is this something I can fix or do I need to go to a repair shop?
Is there a warranty on these things? Its a year old. If I send it to Samsung, will they be able to tell a custom rom was flashed which will void the warranty? Im guessing so... Someone please help im sad
The picture is attached.
Thanks for any help. Appreciated

Its been sitting for 5 minutes now and I went to turn on and it shows a White screen now.
This seems like definite damage. The only things I could think it would be is last Saturday I was sitting by the pool reading
and I cover it back up with my flip case, had it sitting on the chair while I was swimming. It was fine after that though.
Last time I used it, it was Tuesday and it was fine. The only other thing is if my daughter got a hold of it... But there's no way to tell
either way if these were the cause. Any thoughts?
I remember someone posting a topic with the same issue like a yezr zgo or so, i can't find this topic anymore, the problem was with the screen or the cable of your screen, i think he had to replace his LCD screen

Seems in my opinion that you have a screen fault. Maybe it was caused by you without your knowledge or it is a manufacturing defect. It us really hard to say but a screen replacement should fix the problem.

Thank you for your reply.
So you think its the screen, same here. But im doing some you tubing and see that the screen is pretty much just a piece of clear cover that
goes over the lcd screen. I will need a new lcd screen, correct? Is it worth taking apart and checking the cables?
Theres no cracks or damage to the physical screen so it has to be internal.
If anyone can find a link, please let me know. Thanks for your help!
What do you think it would cost to fix at a repair shop? and / or samsung vs. joe blows repair shop?

Screen replacement or LCD replacement? The screen has no physical or visible cracks/damage.

Lcd replacement
So it looks like a small part of the top of my screen is dead, already tried everything and no luck, The draw line test shows about a 10% of the screen not working. I think this might be a hardware problem, but not sure.
If its the hardware, is it possible to only replace the Digitizer glass, without replacing the LCD screen?
Where can I buy the part (hopefully Original, I read that third party replacements are usually disappointing, because of quality.)? I tried searching in ebay and amazon and was only able to find for the HTC one X not the plus version.
Is it too hard to replace or i'm better saving for a new phone?
Do you mean the area where the status bar is? My HOX+ also doesn't recognize touches there. It happened suddenly 5 months ago when I was playing games . However, I used to it and it is not a big problem, I will give it to repair when I get on vacation .
I already made some researches on the internet and it is not an uncommon problem for touch screens. Yes, it is the digitizer's fault.

Exactly the same problem, upper part of the screen (all notification bar). I have an OCD and this tiny things bug me a lot. I guess now I need to find a digitizer to replace it, the problem is that on ebay and other sites there are not HOX+ available, all are for the HOX.
Is there any difference between HOX and HOX+ digitizers? I thought both got the same screen.
I'm not an expert so I won't fix it on my own, better send it back to service .
Btw. I've read one time that you can put a piece of paper between the bezel and grill to clean some mess up which could get inside the phone. I was wondered that I was able to slip the paper there, but it didn't work .

yes it will work, but you can't only change the digitizer, it's too hard glued together. I broke my LCD connector while replacing the screen although
I was really careful, so it's not as easy as everyone says.
Thx, i will keep that in mind.
Hello. Today I get SGS3 from my aunt. SGS3 fell on floor. At first there was some white lines, then half of screen became blue, then the LCD shut down. It isn't working now.
I have a question. Could anything else be broken? I opened phone and i see, that there isn't nothing that could "destroy" LCD.
P.S. Phone boot up, I hear the sound, no view on screen.
You won't know until you replace the screen assembly, probably easier to buy a new phone.
