[Q] Screen woes - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I cracked sgs3 screen yesterday. The touch screen still worked. I bought new glass and fitted it.
I was very careful in not putting pressure on the digitizer.
I put it back together and now the touch screen wont work. The only thing that it could
be is the light-sensor-ribbons buttons. When removing the glue the the ribbon came away with it.
Could this be why the touch screen wont work?
Thanks in advance

It wasn't an intentional bump. I've got so much help and advice from this site.
Thanks for helping me with solving the problem tho.....Oh wait a minute.......

you're welcome

I think perhaps you should find a mobile repair shop. Rather than us here at XDA blurting out random guesses as to what it can be, it's much better to take it to someone who can get their hands on it and use their knowledge and equipment to tell you what it is.
If I tell you it's the ribbon and you buy a replacement but it doesn't resolve the issue, you'd not be happy
Definitely this is something that benefits from hands-on troubleshooting.

I feel like crying, I had the XDAII in my back pocket and i sat down. The screen hasn't cracked but the display has gone completely. See below

Any idea what I can do to get my beloved XDAII working again. anyone had any success chaning the screens?
Any help would be much apprecieated
no offense, mate, but OUCH! :!: given that the screen didn't crack...and with that awful black streak across the monitor...i wonder if this means that the actual lcd got busted....apologies as i didn't mean to rub salt on the wound.... :wink: cheers
-r
:shock:
Well, after you get it fixed, at least you have learned where NOT to keep your XDA. :wink:
http://www.pdasmart.com/ they do replacements seems a pretty reasonable price too.
thanks for suggesting PDASmart. Unfortuneately they do not supply a replacement LCD for the XDAII
Anyone else know where I can get it repaired? I dont want to spend another £400 on a new one.
i got my xda II from ebay for £260, £275 inlcuding delivery. you should check there if you do have to get a new one. but yeah, ouch

In looking at the PDASmart site it does seem they can replace the LCD, but only if you ship it to them.

Take a look there.

My experience
I cracked my screen at work. I sent it to the manufacturer in the US in Houston. The customer service was very civil, but I had to light a small fire fire under their butts to get them moving on my phone. When it was all said and done, they sent me a brand new phone and it cost me like 160USD. /shrug, hope this helps!
@tnel20
Check out this ebay listing...supposedly there are two types of LCDs for the 8525, the LCD model number is on the back so you can make sure you get the right one:

Mine is 60H00037-01M whould it matter .i have the black cable as posted in his add

You could ask the ebay seller just to be sure...my guess is that it would be the Toppoly LCD. Hopefully, you'll get a quick response if you ask.

Looks like I killed a portion of my screen... any suggestions?

I noticed today that when I tried to hit "e" button, it would hit "w" or "r" which was getting annoying. I thought maybe my build (Epinters JB) might have been having some problems.
Well after some reasearch, it looks like a line of my touchscreen is not functioning. Here is a screenshot from the Dev Tools "Pointer Location"

So my question is what options do I have... is it game over for my lovely Atrix? is this a fixable problem?
Thanks for the help!
The same thing happened on my EVO 3D. I replaced the digitizer and LCD and it works fine now. If you feel up to it you could purchase the parts and replace it yourself.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I don't think there's any need to replace the LCD. Just the digitizer and it should be fine.
Where can I find the proper item? Did you follow specific directions?

You can find it in ebay, search for 'atrix digitizer', a friend of mine bought one a few months back for less than 40 USD.
As for how to do it, here is a good tutorial.
I purchased an oem one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053EYGEO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 I bought one before and it was not oem. Attracted more fingerprints, broke rather easy, and didnt have tint where the sensors were. So I recommend paying the extra couple bucks for oem. The seller I got it from (Seller1on1) actually issued me an RMA because i broke the ribbon cable by mistake. Which definitely scored some serious brownie points. Just be careful you don't buy an inferior or refurbished product.

[Q] Screen Broken - Advice

Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.
can't u just take it to a fixer it's the safest way if ur nervous

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.

General Oppo Find N screen already broken

Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
