I held the volume down button and power button but never saw the samsung logo apear so i could release the power button
i just tried the logic board on my sgh-i717 and it would not start the screen
ok here it is... i took my logic board out and put in the possible bad display and the display did not light up.. to the logic board out of the possible bad display and it would not light my personal phone up only hear the att theme.
so possible logic board and display bad ?

Hmm..not sure. Stick around and hopefully somebody with some more hardware experience will jump in. In the mean time I'll look around for some advice for ya.

I've been studying converting my razr to a razr maxx and had the opportunity to purchase a maxx for a reasonable price with a clean esn.
Here's the catch, it has a cracked unresponsive black screen. It powers up when rebooted, makes the startup sound and vibrates. The screen is deader than dead. No hepatic?? feedback, no lower key lights, etc. Does have the flashing green light upper left.
Instead of waiting for the battery to die is there a way to to it off with the side keys? I'd like to take it apart soon but would rather have it completely turned off before I do that.
Googled this question and searched the forum. I probably do not know what to use as a querry.
Be gentle I'm a noob.

Shut the phone off completely.
The screen is broken and black.

Hi! The right thing to do is to leave it at motorola service center for a fix or replacement. Sorry

Hold volume down + power for few seconds
There's a remote chance the screen still accepts input, but not being able to see what's happening, who knows.... do you have an HDMI cable? Plug it into a TV and see if touch input still works, then shut it down if it does.

Thanks but its too late. My big fingers kept turn both phones on and off while separating the case so it did not matter.
I just finished the conversion. Its a pretty simple procedure. Once I figure out how to take it apart the rest was simple.
I used a hobby heat gun to warm the phone and a guitar pick to separate the case.
I have a few pictures of the maxx apart but I can't post pics yet.

I have the XT912 MAXX with the same blank screen and blinking green LED. Please describe how did you revive your phone?
I don't get this, i know you can exchange parts between XT910 and XT912 but isn't the MAXX a totaly different model?
Hello guys, now its been almost a week since i've had my s3 but yesterday night before going to sleep, i just unlocked my phone in pitch black darkness and what i saw was white light originating from the left capacitive key extending to the screen which looked really bad like a screen burn or some kind of weird white patch on the screen as if i've cracked it, and if it were from both keys i cud have convinced myself that its normal but its only the left key! and its not at all noticable even in a little light and if your screen is not using a dark black background.. so what do you guys suggest me to do? can you guys check your phones in a fully dark room with black blackground and touch keys lit up?? and will my warranty consider this an issue and cover it? i feel so bad right now :/
I'll check later tonight, but I generally have those lights permanently off since my S2 as the intermittent on/off at every screen touch is an annoyance particularly when watching videos
I would suggest turning them off, the buttons are easy enough to find in the dark plus you save a little bit of battery.

i dont have it and i also turn off those capacitive lights. either you have to live with or go far an exchange.
You sure?
Are you sure?
It can only be seen in a dark room and with a black background on the phone.
I dont like having flaws on my new stuff. I am gonna try to exchange it.

I went to the dealer and they said that they would send it to the shop to check if it really had a failure, and if it had a hardware failure they would exchange it in one week!!!!!!!!!!! i will just stay with my phone as it is. It is more possible they will really screw it on the shop with something really bad to worry about, and I bet that the next one will have the same flaw or another even worst, so I prefer to stay with mine.
hi all i own the white version and i notice that when i am in a dark place and the lights of the back buttons is on its kind of splash to the screen...
since then i disable this function and turned the lights off at all time.
i just wanted to know if that a known thing or is it just a problem in my phone...
If you mean you can see light through the phone, then all white phones do that. The blue doesn't. But not sure if it goes all the way and affect the screen.

like what?
The power button just gets stuck when pressed on from the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Or is this normal seeing that it's made out of plastic?
Anyone?

Not normal. My white European S3 doesn't have this. My friends blue one neither.
You could try to RMA or get use to pressing it in the middle.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly I don't have warranty so the only solution is to fix it myself or as you said get used to pressing it from the middle.
like i said on my thread, on my S3:
if i press it on the top or on the bottom it twists like that, but doesn't get stuck

mine is bit wobbly but doesnt get stuck
I have the same issue with my home button. I've been told that this happens due to the high production tolerance at Samsung factories.
Don't know wether this is true or not...

try a careful cleaning with a needle around its edges
Tried that but it seems to be broken in someway from the inside. And I'm too chicken to take it apart.
Thanks for the suggestion though =)
I just got a brand new S2 GT-I9100, but when I set the vibration to high levels it sounds like a car horn or something like that. Also, it's a bit ''metallic'' - there's a tiny split second of ''echo'' when the vibration ends.
Is this normal for S2, after all it is a very thin device so vibration resonance should be very noticeable anyway? Does yours sound similar? When I shake the device nothing rattles inside, so I presume everything sits tight in place.

So, your phone sounds like mine... Do you think it's just our phones, or it's like that on all GT-I9100 devices? Also, was your device sounding like that from the moment you bought it (while it was brand-new)?
Try and change the vibration pattern in the sound menu and see if it changes

It's the same - it only goes away if I lower the vibration intensity to 50% or place the phone upside down and press it against the carpet. A local repair guy told me it's normal for S2, and that his one sounded the same and that there's no point for sending it for repairs. He couldn't show me, he sold it a year ago. Only one guy told me it's not normal, others either can't remember or say it's normal.

Upload your S2 video Vibrating like a Car Horn and post it here the Link...
We'll SEE what's wrong....

OK, when I come home tonight.
Here you go guys, and I'm sorry about the bad quality - only an Huawei Y200 was aceessible to me at the moment. But it's good enough to hear the vibration sound. Replace "(dot)" with "."
