I have a SGS2 GTI9100 (international) which I kept for charging in night. Next morning when I tried to power on the device it was not working. No recovery no download no charging indicator etc...
I tried changing battery
I tried usb jig
Both the above things didnt worked.
I went to Samsung service center in Hurst Texas USA and they told me they dont check the international version....
I went to another repair service and they did a diagonostic service and they told me that "due to power surge Processor might have failed" and they dont know how to proceed further....
Any way to repair these kind issues.....any good repair centers in cities like Fortworth, Irving, Plano, Dallas in Texas....any one from these places who can recommend a good service center who cann rwpair this....

Very few people in the US use I9100's (on here at least), and even fewer post in this forum these days. You're far better off asking in one of the active forums devoted to one of the US variants, you could be waiting a very long time for an answer here.
Edit - However, a bit of 'generic' advice; specific fix if you want to keep the phone is replace the motherboard (replacing individual components on the board isn't feasible) - a Samsung authorised repairer can give you a new board, but this is the expensive option. A cheaper option is to source a 2nd hand board online yourself, and pay a local mobile repair shop to swap the board (they might also be able to source the board for you).
Thanks sir.
Any advice on how to search for the mother board online? Appreciate your help...

A Google search will normally do it, but I believe KeithRoss39's USB charger board replacement guide thread in General (do an advanced search on his username or search for 'Replacing USB charger board) has a list of parts suppliers, which should give you a start.

If they are around the same price I'd just take it to the service center because that way a professional who knows what there doing can fix your phone. While the JTAG box is very helpful you can really mess up your phone if you don't know how to use it properly. Again if there about the same price its not worth the risk take it to the service center.

But... if you get a jtag/ riff box setup, then you can basically start a business unbricking phones, and maybe recoup your money.. But, remember, you need to have the proper software to resurrect your phone, or the know-how to develop it.

Mobile tech video claim to be able to jtag brick repair a Samsung admire for $40. Would love to find out how they do it.
I also found a website that sells a riff box (jtag) for $145 USD plus shipping.

So I have had my I9300 GS3 since launch and the other day I cracked my screen.
Now I need to get it fixed, I know that the whole unit AMOLED and digitizer needs to be replaced.
I could probably do it myself if the savings will be a lot but I'm looking for all options and Samsung US won't touch it apparently because its not a US model.
So anyway know of a way to get Samsung US to fix it or where Is a good place I could send it or get a display for it?
Anyone have any ideas?
Use your warranty it wont cost a dime
EDIT:
oh wait.. you cracked it.. mmmm.. you may try some low-end stores maybe in malls just to be sure. You could also do it yourself, there are lots of how-to's in youtube

if you're in the US and you have the i9300, then you have 2 choices:
1) DIY. buy the parts from ebay and follow instructions online..
2) Contact the Samsung on the country your phone is registered to. The one I had was register to the UK and they simply said that I'll have to contact their special service center there, arrange the case number with them, then send it to them as well as providing return postage. Then when they receive it, it will take up to 28 days to fix your phone + potential costs for repairs because you are physically not in their region. Any attempt to contact Samsung USA will get the agents telling you that they only service american models and that, I quote, their technicians do not have the knowledge or skill or parts to repair the i9300.
This is my personal experience with the incompetence of Samsung USA.

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.

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.

I am also looking to buy a Samsung galaxy s2 motherboard GT-I9100 - where is the best place to buy a good one in Europe that had not has much use?
Android GURU's, newbie here.. first post. please help. I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 while flashing a new ROM, I sent in a wrong pit file for my phone and this hardbricked my phone completely. Tried USB jig also, no luck. When I charge phone, all it does, is it gets heated near the camera part and nothing, no download mode, nothing , nada. Have been reading about JTAG option, but i am not having any leads on that who can do that in Bangalore, India. If someone has any leads or any other solution please help me. Would like to exhaust every option before taking it to Samsung and pay big bucks (out of warranty) to change MOBO. Any leads will be highly appreciated. Thanks for your time reading my post and trying to help.
Motherboard replacement. JTAG very unlikely to work, Google search/contact local mobile repair shops & ask if they do JTAG's. Also, you don't necessarily have to pay a service centre a lot of money to put a new motherboard in. You can source a 2nd hand one from a 'donor' phone (say a phone with a broken screen that is otherwise OK), this will be much cheaper than paying a service centre to put a new one in, even if you're not confident enough to DIY & pay a local mobile repair shop to actually swap the new board in after you source it.
Why you you flashed a pit file ... why?
No 1 rule don't flash a pit file until no other solution works and you are sure that you have right driver odin pit phone
Maybe a jtag works but its better a mobo replace
