My galaxy s2 i9100 motherboard got complaint and i need to replace it.I went already went to service centre and they told it will cost around Rs.6000(95$).But when i searched for motherboard on ebay and it cost around only 27$.I want to know is it original or not???Or will i face any problems if i uses that motherboard?If not can anybody please tell me frome where i can buy a good motherboard for my s2?
Almost all motherboards online will be 2nd hand, Samsung is not in the business of selling new ones without having their authorised service centres doing the labour to replace. As with anything on eBay, you're only going to know if it's legit/works the way it should if you actually buy it/maybe based on the seller's reputation.
I mean, how is anyone here supposed to know whether some guy on eBay is selling you something legit ?
I've seen some boards on eBay that are JUST the boards.....you have to solder EVERY single component to it yourself......examine the listing before you buy......

No, Samsung can tell from the IMEI if your device is still under warranty, so dont worry about receipts or place of purchase.

Thanks guys anyone know how long the repair will take?
If samsung it will only take 1 hour, i sent them a burnt motherboard (samsung galaxy note) and they fixed it in 3 hours
Depends if they have the parts available....where i live it took them 15 days to get the screen i asked them to repair......

here if you give them your defective motherboard you can have a 50$ discount so theoretically you canbuy a new motherboard for 139$
Bummer, you can buy a used s2 for a little more than this.
8000 INR , but i had mine replaced for 5000 INR (without bill) from a sammy service centre

i actually did it in cochin..visit a couple of service centres around your area n tell them you are short on cash and if there is any way to do it for a lesser amount
but BEWARE:: if you do it without a bill you get no warranty !!!
Thanks buddy I'll search for it.

I live in jeddah, can I ship it to cochin and ask them to repair it at the same cost, no service centers here that might assist with the low cost replacement. Do you have their address and number?
I have a fried motherboard too, gave it to the service center guys here in Jeddah and they say that it will cost me more than what it would to buy a used S2
Probable cause (cause and effect, not necessarily correct from a technical perspective)
I think it could have been my car charger that might have fried it... assuming that i did see once that the battery dropped from 70% to 40% after i connected the charger and I was foolish enough to connect it when the phone was completely out of battery... yeah tell me about it. I purchased another battery too.. original with the hologram and everything but after a week or so the phone would just not boot up.
hi
if you ask me!!! your galay s2 its useless so you gona start thinking to buy an galaxy s3!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol

You have two choices re: motherboard replacement -
1) Samsung/service centre - New motherboard, retain original IMEI in most cases/dependant on country (Most expensive option).
2) Search eBay/elsewhere online for a 2nd hand motherboard (you do see them on their own occasionally), or more likely look for a broken phone (screen broken but otherwise OK, for example) you can take the motherboard from. You can either replace this yourself if you feel confident enough, or you can pay a local mobile repair shop to swap this motherboard for the dead one on your phone (Cheapest option). With this option your IMEI will change to that of the phone the board came from, which is no big deal normally (Do not try to restore your old IMEI via an EFS backup restore, fair chance you'll bork your phone if you do).
Samsung will not sell you a new motherboard on it's own. If an authorised service centre sells you a new one without them doing the labor of replacing the old one, you're very very lucky & Samsung would probably chuck a fit if they found out.
Costs will obviously vary widely whichever option you chose, dependent on country normally.

Its hard to find working main boards. Quickest way is to get it repaired by samsung service centers. But it will almost cost you as same as getting a second hand GS2. If you are willing to take a risk you can buy screen damaged phones on ebay and use its motherboard. Decision is up to you
i can't find any screen damaged phone on ebay or amazon

Then you should take your phone to samsung and ask for the price of a mb replacement
Nothing new .. still searching
and samsung agency on my country told me the board coasts 90% from the price of the phone as new
so , i should end my searching or there's any hope ?
You've already been told either eBay/Amazon for busted phone or Samsung/authorised repairer (who will charge you labour to install said MB; Samsung won't sell you one for obvious reasons, as you've found out)
What more are you expecting anyone here to tell you that you haven't already been told ? You were told those options because they're the options anyone who visits here in your situation would look at (I know I'd be looking for a 'donor'/broken phone first, then I'd be biting the bullet & either paying Samsung to fix it or get a new phone).
Posting here again in the hope this has somehow changed over the past week isn't going to make it so.
All, I bought a Brown International Samsung Galaxy SIII i9305 that is registered Germany in December. Naturally with a little bad luck, after having it for 3 days I dropped it 1 ft (with a case) onto a wooden floor and cracked the screen. Samsung USA won't touch it as mentioned in other posts because of the model. After checking with Samsung service centers in multiple countries the Service center in Germany directed me to their repair service provider in Germany. They are able to repair it BUT will only ship back to a German address. I explained the situation to the repair center but they were unrelenting. I've checked back with Samsung and there is nothing they will do as it's their only service provider in Germany.
Btw...I did check the other threads before posting this and saw that the last person with this problem sent the phone back to the UK (where it was registered) from the USA. I would be willing to pay the price, but I can't get the phone back because of the shipping only to a German address. Also as an alternative I was looking for a new screen and replacing it in the USA, but finding a Brown Digitizer seems to really be a challenge anywhere as I've only found a couple brown ones online after days of searching, and they are all for the i9300.
I checked every forum about replacing screens on an international i9305 with an international i9300 LCD and haven't seen a solid answer yet. For the time being, the LCD on the phone still works, it's just the glass is shattered,..so worst case, at least I still have a working phone.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Anyone have any ideas at all?

Have you tried looking at ebay or amazon? If you know the exact model you want/need it could be a cheap solution.
Procuring a new motherboard without paying a Samsung authorised service centre a lot of money for labour to replace your board is very very difficult. Samsung don't sell the boards to the public, and if they found out new boards were 'leaking' from authorised service centres, they'd chuck a fit
If you don't like the idea of paying a service centre to put a new board in, you're likely going to have to settle on a 2nd hand one from a 'donor'/broken phone.
Edit - And many boards pushed as 'new' on places like eBay are in fact 2nd hand boards that have been 'tidied up' a bit.
