I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from eBay, the seller stated that the LCD screen was "very dark" and not quite working right. When I received the phone it was far more then "very dark", half of the screen looks as if the LCD is leaking out or has been broken? The digitizer is mint and works and the phone its self is in AMAZING shape. NO scratches or chips or anything. It honestly looks brand new. I even tested the battery for usage and its showing up that this battery IS indeed brand new. Like I said it is mint so there is no possible way this phone was dropped. My first guess was a ROM issue, but I just noticed you can see the screen defect without the phone even being turned on. So what I am thinking is water damage. I read all over online about people having problems with there screens going black, this might also be the case. If it is water damage, does anyone know EXACT locations of indicators on the phone? I looked in the battery compartment and found nothing what so ever. I want to sell this thing today, (just received it in the mail) I need the cash so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction?? I uploaded photos below, the second one is with the phone turned off, the reflection is from my computer. For reference, it is the Samsung Galaxy SII 19100, with Bell Canada. Thanks in advanced!
I'm no expert but does not look like something you can fix yourself I'm afraid.
Send it back I say.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
send it back to whoever sold it
you kinda got scammed there, imho
See Im trying to figure out if the LCD was broken by physical damage or if this has happened before to people, because if its a manufacturing issue I can just send it back to Samsung and they will fix it no problem as long as this was caused on their part. If it WAS broken by the ebay seller, I might be better off buying a new lcd and installing it myself. I only paid $200CAD so it would be worth keeping if all thats wrong is the LCD. But like I said I would rather Samsung do it, lol its free.

Scratch that, the LCD is almost $200. Not worth buying and fixing. But does anyone know if this could be classified as a manufacturing issue? I can just send it in if it is?
anybody at all?? I just want to confirm that this could be a manufacturing issue, theres no water damage and the screen is not cracked from a drop any ideas would be awesome. I might just try to send it in to Samsung just to see what happens.
Hi,
A friend of mine currently replaced her I9300 screen after she cracked it. But I noticed that the phone screen isn't Super Amoled anymore
I compared her S3 Display to mine and mine clearly have BETTER display quality!
Now, since I wrongly flashed N7100 Kernel onto mine and froze the Touch Module; I need a whole new screen assembly since I9300 LCD and Touch Digitizer seems to be HARD to dissociate
My question now is:
Will screen replacement makes mine lose the Super Amoled feature like my friend's one ?
Do I need a specific screen assembly ? If so, How do I identify this before buying it ?
Thank you in advance.
I think that your friend has got a lower quality replacement display. If you want to replace your screen, you should look not for the cheapest one or atleast do some research (check that display you will buy is original)

But HOW do I tell whether it's genuine (original if you want) or replicate (fake) ?
And FYI, she bought it for $100, isn't that enough to pay a genuine one ?
No, that isn't a genuine screen assembly. Buy it from a reputable retailer -if you can find one, not an ebay or amazon reseller.

Thank you.
But it's really HARD to find SAMSUNG Retellers here in The Bronx
Thank you anyway.
Just passing by... can't you just reflash your phone with correct kernel?

Already discussed :good:
There's NO miracle for this issue other than replacing the Screen (LCD + Touch Digitizer).
I understood WHY it burned the Touch Module lol N7100 uses bigger screen than I9300, so it pushes more power to the screen, unfortunately I9300 hardwares cannot hold such power. Maybe that's WHY N7100 have 1,6Ghz CPU while I9300 have 1,4Ghz (even if it's about the same hardware); also the battery voltage: N7100 uses genuinely 2600mAh while I9300 uses 2100mAh.
Anyway, I sold the device (as it was) now moving to something new (maybe another S3).
For those of you who've replaced your screens either DIY or via LG warranty replacement...please post how your screen quality and viewing angles compare to the original LCD.
I'll start...
1. On my Current G2, I had a perfect screen. Perfect viewing angles and excellent image quality with no defects
2. Ebay Replacement screen #1 had dead pixels and Mira lines.
3. Ebay replacement screen # 2 had horrible color. Almost black and white
4. Amazon replacement screen has great color & image quality but lesser degree of viewing angles.
It's hard to explain but easy to compare to other G2s and phones when you compare side by side.
After all these screen swaps in the last couple months I've decided to keep this screen and use the phone as is.
How does your replacement screen compare to the original one?
I got LG performed a "total refurbished" when I dropped and shattered my screen.
It came back and looked like new, no difference to the original.
After a shattered screen i got it replaced.two months waoting time.now have jdi panel but brightness is very low and have lots of screen bleed around the edges.the repairman did not do a good job but the panel itself is of lower quality.color and contrast ok but luminosity is about 70%of the original...not happy but no money for yet another panel...
Conclusion:dont drop the phone...
After having touch screen issues on my phone (no-touch zone, ghost touches), I bought a replacement screen for my D800 off eBay.
Got it replaced and so far, the quality (colours, brightness, touch accuracy) is very good. I'd say the screen is slightly more yellow than my original screen but it's by no means an issue.
The screen I got for my "new" Z3, is full of problems. It has press marks(areas on the screen which appear brighter/whiter) and the screen "flickers" on high brightness. My friend can't see it well, but I can very clearly see the screen going bright->dark->bright->dark slightly and very quickly.
Dropped mine and got it replaced at a cheap place in Bangkok.
Colours are the same, viewing angles are not as good, but
those doesn't matter to me.
Been 2 months dropped phone again, screen shattert again...
Biggest supprise: Touch is still working perfectly! Seems like the cheap replacement screen doesn't have the NoGap technology like the original ones haha. Seems like win win to me!

Thanks for the responses guys and sorry to hear about your screens.
Made a new poll. Please participate.
I'm trying to make a case that there are different versions of LCD panels made by different manufacturers.
They don't advertise which is which but we're starting to notice now that we're having out screens replaced.
I replaced my LG D800 screen with one from Amazon and the colors are slightly darker but other than that no big deal. I didn't do a good job with the replacement so there is definite light bleed on the edges and after four months of using it im getting ghost touches if I press on the lower portion of the screen. Don't think it's quite worth the $80 replacement to try again and get it right, just something I'll deal with until a new phone comes out and I can get it replaced all together.
Similar experience to laboratik except the repair was done at LG so the workmanship is good. But it is jdi panel and darker than the original.
Thank you guys for the responses. This thread should be helpful to others in our same situation.
The sad fact is that the market is flooded with aftermarket screens made by who knows.
Just compared my screen with the S6 Edge and have to say I'm very impressed with the image and color on this replacement screen however that's where the buck stops.
The reduced viewing angles are tolerable at best. I'd hate to remove this replacement screen send it back all over again...roll, dice pray I get a perfect match but unless I'm removing it from a G2 myself I'm starting to believe it's not likely it'll happen.
Check out this review on Amazon re: the screen I have.
This guy nails my current situation

I got a few of them from eBay, I can link you the buyer if you want, I've sold them and they are close to OEM, they only have one MAJOR flaw, they are thicker. While you'd think this wouldn't be an issue, they are thick enough to not be able to slip into most cases, so it's annoying.
http://www.ebay.com/usr/wholesaleblimited?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
That's the ebay seller I use for replacement parts.
So far the screens have been OEM quality( G2, GPro, AHD) I've bought a few from there, and they all have great quality, except for the thickness, they all seem to be thicker, this is probably due to it not being real gorilla glass, and just a knock off lol.
it looks like my replacement screen for LG service center has slightly lower sunlight legibility than original,
I dont know which panel is this, but brightness is reduced

After removing the Amazon screen and reinstalling the original one, I notice the Amazon one has slightly higher ppi/contrast with a smoother looking picture....WTH
Now if I can have that with the original screen's viewing angles I'd be golden....
Oh well....time to pack it back and return it back...will report back shortly

That one almost certainly looks like it will be a low quality replacement you will be unhappy with.
My personal opinion, if you want a full frame screen replacement....at least get one with the LG logo.
Saw one on ebay for 59.00 last night. The seller claimed to test them before they ship.

Not sure which model you have but make sure you confirm with the seller before you bid
i have ordered my replacement screen with frame from etradesupply.com should be reaching me in 5 days time.. Will report back. Got it for $60.

My shipment status says expected delivery Wed, Apr 15. Hope there are no more delays. Will keep the thread posted on how the screen performs.
Hi all, my Kindle HDX 7 has a cracked screen ( i dont undertand why happened at the first place) , a little piece of paper stuck between frame and screen border cleaning the display as normally do ,when i remove it using a minimun of pressure , i hear a crack, and now 40% of the screen is not responding to my fingers,using a torch shows the complete damage , a line crossing edge to edge display.

60-80% of the cost of a pre-owned device. Don't see the value.
Guessing an aging battery swelled putting pressure on the screen. If accurate failure was imminent. So called 'screen protectors' are only effective against direct abrasion/impact; 'hard' overlays can actually contribute to glass fracture on drops and other events depending on how forces are distributed.

Yes i know the display isnt cheap, only want to spend the less to repair it, was saving some money to get the 64gb version and leave this kindle to my mother, she only want some basic stuff, 16gb isnt enuogh to save mutiple ISO's / APK and my stuff, but this unfortunate accident, change my plans, and i decide repair the cracked kindle first , the good side is , the tablet drop the price next months.
So, i make the order on Ebay, its a good chance to make a video/ tutorial to replace screen , the videos available on youtube dont have a good Quality.
Hello, there.
Unfortunately, I've dropped my mi mix 3 and I was looking to a new screen.
Looking around I've found many offers with a wide range of prices.
The question is that the Mi Mix 3 feature a Samsung Amoled 6.39 inch but it is impossible to find, everywhere I'm finding an LCD replacement. Can someone help me out?
Plus, I was a bit worried about the screen replacement procedure but then I saw this video which takes a totally different approach and made the whole thing much easier...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl2aK5wCBAI
Still, I can't find the Amoled version anywhere but only the LCD version...
Cheers

Goodluck https://www.witrigs.com/oem-screen-replacement-with-frame-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-3-black
Hi, i searched on aliexpress, there are lots of options but it is $100+, so in my case I ordered 6.39 lcd display, and it looks better than other analogs, costs 45 usd but it has a special plastic spacer under the display, so it sticks up a bit more, looks fine... On aliexpressI think itis 3 options lcd, led and amoled... No clue what is the one in middle. I bought mine from chila lcd seller
Upd: I think 100+ is for original there, not 'oem', but not sure
I try to order one (100+$) but the quality was awefull. some part of the screen was unreponsive.
I bought one from second hand market. Under warranty and never opened for -300$
I had the same problem, dropped my phone and screen replaced with original. Contact with this adress maybe you can order original one. Genpa is authorized service in Türkiye for Xiaomi.

I bought the witrigs one. It certainly seems genuine to me. I'm happy.
I had a honor 8 before, I'd say I bought 6-8 screens for it and never found a good one

Where do you find LCD? I can't even Find it. (I hate amoled with their burn in issues. I love lcd)
Any existing Mix 3 users that had to replace the screen in the past?
Which one did you buy and that you are satisfied with it?
Honestly I don't know which one to look at (primarily I am looking on ebay). There are some that the title say it's amoled, but I am not sure.
Any advice?
I bought the original amoled screen in aliexpress for 80€.
Happy with it!
