so I got this phone a few months back and went to plug it in went for a leak and when i came back the screen had cracked from the port upwards
samsung says its out of warranty (douchebags) so i have to fix it myself because id rather not pay them to do it it feels liek im getting ripped off.
any way the top section looks fine not a scratch its sort of underneath if that makes sense like its a second screen
i tap the screen but it makes no sound
judging from it as you all seem to be in the know here do i need
"NEW Replacement Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly For Samsung Galaxy i9300 Siii S3 L710 White"
or do i have to get
"White Full LCD Display + Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly For Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300-VeryDeal "
both of these are for sale on amazon i was going to post links but i cant cause im a new member
also i dont know if it is relevant but i have the international version of the s3 in white
i have took a few quick pics (bad quality but you can sort of see whats up with it) just incase it helps
i didnt get insurance sadly but i hope someone can help me get this working even if i can just do some kind of temporary quick fix till i get the cash to buy the new screen
thanks

Hi,
I just got my GS2 1 week ago and now am in big trouble :-(
I just dropped the S2 from my pocket while taking it out.
Now the screen is cracked (top Screen)
Everything else is working AMOLED display is also working fine.
I took it to a customer care and they said they need to replace both the top screen and AMOLED screen since they come as a piece and asked me 150 $
WHat do u guys think ???
will it cost that much ??
Please guide me on this :-(
i will post some images as soon as possible.
FYI : Only the top screen is cracked near to the BACK Capacitive button and the crack goes upto the middle of screen .
$150 sounds right. Take a look at this thread:

Good Day folks, here is the long and short of it.
Galaxy s 2 fell and the screen broke
I bought a new screen
Replaced the screen BUT two big problems occured.
1. The screen appears to have less colours than my original screen
2. NONE OF THE SOFT KEYS WORK, HOME, MENU AND BACK DO NOT WORK.
Number 2. is the big problem. Does anyone have any idea how these buttons work?
Even when I press the buttons directly with my fingers with the buttons off they still do not work.
Im baffled. Please help.
I also have attached pictures of the button area
It happened to me, I removed the screen, I replaced from beginning and it worked...
Hi Collado, do the white things behind the buttons have any electronic functionality or are those just things to make it stick?
To all future readers. I found out what the problem was. Basically,
The home, back and menu keys are all connected to a single ribbon. It appears there is a tiny piece, connected via the back key. That was torn while i was ripping off the the screen and digitizer.
See the picture attached
How much did you pay for your replacement screen and where did you get it. My digitizer is broken due to a drop. My front glass is perfect but the digitizer is completey shot. How difficult was this project?
Hi Johnboy
I cant remember the price of the digitizer offhand but make a check on ebay.. that is where i got it.
Difficulty is high as you need the minature tool set to do this effectively and a gentle touch.
However, it still appears as though the screen I bought has less colours.
Sorry to jump in and unintended hijack
I also dropped my S2 and cracked the screen, and after checking around dropped it in to the Geek Squad at CPW. Who duly replaced the screen and digitizer for £80. Only problem is the screen seems less bright and if moved off the central viewing angle the screen dims, as if it wasa standard lcd and not the orginal AMOLED screen. Does anyone know if they make lesser screens or was it fitted badly.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
DM.
I would go back with it and complain.If you dont get satisfaction then do an impression of the guy that goes into the pizza shop in "rise of the foot-soldier" film.

Hey guys my wife has a fascinate and it fell off her desk today and the screen inside (lcd crystal) part is all lines and mixed colors, can't see what it should be like, Is there anyway to fix this or should i just toss it and buy a new phone. I have insurance but not sure what it covers and I have a custom rom on it so am I screwed or what? It turns on and screen vibrates when you touch it but can't see what your doing at all.
Any help?

I need help in searching for a new screen for my S959G phone but i dont know what to look for. now I know the charge port is a "I9100 Rev 2.3" because I took apart my phone to see what model and rev is my charge port.
Now is the screen part of the whole front of the phone with the touch part or is there a replacement screen with out the digitizer and whole front with it too?
and im sorry if this been asked before or sounds dumb from me asking.
EDIT: I found the whole front part with the screen and touch but at the top of that part it has the AT&T logo but thats the only ones im finding so far none with the TracFone logo at the top but does it matter between I777 and S959G parts?
You probably won't find one with Tracfone branding, but don't see why you can't use an i777 one. You may have a hard time fixing your screen without the whole digitizer attachment, though. My i777 has had a crack running the entire length of the screen for over a year now, and no repair place would touch it because of how Samsung designed it.
Everything I've read about doing it yourself is way too complicated, due to the fact you'd have to buy the glue separately to reattach and it taking a few hours. I didn't have the nerve to try... perhaps you're more adventurous than I. Good luck!
I purchased this phone from T-Mobile when they were first released. It has been my hacking baby. I recently upgraded to the s7 edge (skipped the s6 bc no removable storage) and it got passed down to my 15 y/o niece, who lives with us, as do my mother and father (her legal guardians.) She really, *really* wanted the iPhone 6 Plus instead. In short order, my babied, perfectly tweaked, mint condition S5, was brought to my mother as being completely broken. Wouldn't turn on, black screen, nothing worked. So she got her iPhone 6 Plus and I have my old S5's corpse. The thing is, when I went to boot it to see how "broken" it was and if I could fix it, it booted just fine. The twist is the screen colors are all too cool (weirdly cool), and it goes black periodically until you flex it. I hooked it up to my laptop and Odin not only recognized it, but I was able to flash the last firmware tar I had. I'm guessing she bent it to get it to "break", which is why flexing it fixes the screen blacking out, but am clueless about the colors (was hoping the flash would fix it, but no.) Any ideas on the cause? Am I looking at replacing the entire lcd/touch/glass assembly, or is the motherboard now questionable because of the flexing issue?
I've attached a pic of what the phone colors look like with Odin on in the background. I'd love any suggestions!

I don't know the current prices on the lcd but OEM ones are expensive as hell. I broke my s3 or s4 screen (can't remember) and an OEM lcd screen (the entire assembly not just the glass) was in the $300 dollar range.
But mother board should be good I'd imagine, probably just the screen, but gotta ask yourself is it worth fixing a 2 years old back up phone?
