[Q] T999L Parts Help? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to find a replacement SIM/ SD module (a small part which contains the slots the SIM and SD chips go in) for a Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L. I am not sure whether parts for the T999 would be compatible with the T999L. The part is everywhere for other model numbers, but replacement parts for the T999L seem impossible to find. Is it possibly the same part as the T999? I wouldn't know. I have searched high and low for the answer to this seemingly simple question, and I'm the only person I know of to ever raise this question on the internet, which I think is just funny.
Thanks for any any answers.

I tried to do a mother board swap from a t999 to a t999l but the bezels don't line up but the screen and digitizer should be compatible...

Let me know how that turned out. There is 2 pins missing from the sim tray on a T999L and I see that I can buy the T999_ but I'm not sure if I'm about to eat $10

Noting to do with repair here, but, I do have a micro sim adapter and didn't like it much.
I just have my msim 'hanging around' in the full slot with no issues now for about a month.

Q - Advice

Hi,
I smashed my screen on my I9305 and not realizing it i put the I9300 replacement screen on the phone. I have had issues with the IMEI null and not picking up signal. I have tried all mentioned methods on here to restore but none have worked. I gave up an contacted a repair center and they have said that putting a I9305 screen on will solve the problem. Is this correct as I don't want t spend money if it is not correct.
Thanks

As far as my knowledge goes screen replacing doesn't effect anything until or unless you have badly messed up some hardware in the process. The module used to allow communication on i9300 and i9305 is same plus it doesn't has to do anything with screen. You can try to put a new SIM card module to see whether the phone picks up signal or not. The best bet for you is that you don't go around spending money for a thing that is perfectly fine.
One more bet is that you may have ruined some inner hardware during the smash and not in the replacing process.
Hit Thanks if I helped.
did you replace the screen with a heat gun like in some videos on youtube? if so you might have damaged some of the sensible parts of the sIII if you didn't take them off before, for example the antenna or the simcard module like the one above me said.
so i think it will be difficult to find the broken part - changing all possible parts by yourself is very expensive and time-consuming.
I recommend you to consult an official samsung repair center (which will be expensive, too) or sell your phone as broken and invest the money in a new one...

No I replaced the screen with a genuine service pack one which came pretty much whole. Didn't heat anything just swapped them over and turned it on. Advice I got was that it was because I put on the i9300 screen on is why I couldn't restore my imei number.
Now selling the motherboard if anyone is interested

Sprint Micro SD Slot/Sim Replacement

So my SD Slot and Speakers have been broken for awhile due to water damage.
I'm now looking for replacements to fix them with but the SD Slot seems a little confusing.
The Speaker replacements is simple, considering it looks the same for all models, but the SD Slot is a little different. I'm currently looking at replacements but they all carry the SIM slot.
Since I'm on Sprint, I don't need/have a sim slot...

^ This is how it looks in my phone (photo taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797157)
and a replacement looks like this http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_157925_1.jpg
Does anyone have experience with replacing it for Sprint?
You may get better results in the sprint section. We don't really know the answer.
search on ebay. include your model number (which is not i9300, which means you're in the wrong forum)

Sim card slot replacement

I have searched eBay and Google with various searches but have found nothing. My g3 Sim card readers pins have been damaged and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy a lot for repair. I can find replacement parts for many other phones but not the g3. Anyone have a link or know how to obtain this part? Or maybe even how to fix it? I got the phone very cheap to use as a media device but if I can fix it I would use it. Thanks a lot.
Probably need a whole new motherboard
OP, did you get your phone repaired? If so, where and how much was it?

Upgrading SGP611 to LTE

Hi all,
Has anybody ever tried upgrading the SGP611 with a SIM card reader ?
Both the reader and the tray are available as replacement parts so I was wondering if anybody ever tried a WIFI-only model to LTE ?
Curious to know ...
Never opened mine up for obvious reasons, so I don't know what's going on inside. I know sometimes the manufacturer creates one motherboard with the same hardware layout but just ships the cheaper versions with some of the hardware disabled, but physically still on the board. Not sure if that's the case here.
