My S6 Edge has taken liquid damage. I sent it off to Samsung to see if it could be repaired. They returned the phone back to me broken, stating that there is corrosion on the PBA components.
I've been looking around on the internet for a S6 Edge motherboard to see if swapping it out would help, but have not been able to find them for sale.
I've seen (literally) every other part / component of the phone for sale, except for the motherboard.
As someone new to smart phone repairs....is it that motherboards are prohibited from sale to the public, or I've just had terrible luck finding them?
If anyone can provide info on where I can find a retailer that sells motherboards for the S6 Edge, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Pretty sure everything is soldered on. Might as well buy a new phone.

Can someone help me find a replacement Digitizer?
I bought my phone off of eBay a while back and it had scratches on the screen, now I want a new screen. I thought about getting one from eBay, but someone told me that those were cheaply made and came from China. And that if I tried replacing one myself It could maybe not work correctly or I could get some particles in between the screens.
Is there a place that I can get it repaired?
Also my phone won't charge anymore unless I put it in a certain position...
i got mine from ebay recently. well, i got it for T7373 international version tp2 instead.
what i would advise is, avoid from getting those cheap digitizer. they work sucks with finger. now i only able to use my tp2 with either stylus or fingernail which is seriously terrible.
and i changed it all myself. weirdly is, the digitizer need some glue to glue it to the tp2. a bad experience i had anyway.
sending my set back to my distributor for cleaning up mess soon.
I bought a replacement verizon digitizer last week

Paid $22.00 plus $10 to ship
My GTab took a face plant a couple weeks ago. That gave me a good excuse to pick of a Moto Xoom, but my daughter would like my GTab. Anyone know of where or how I can get a replacement glass for this? I'm assuming it is not just regular glass, but I could be wrong, of course.
Is it the outside glass or the internal LCD? I believe the exterior glass is the digitizer panel. I'm not sure anyone has found a replacement for that but I could be wrong. I remember seeing a thred on it when I was searching for information on replacing a broken LCD panel.
Somewhere on the VS site in the specifications I found a number for the screen -- it's made by a company in China as you would expect. If you can find that number, you
might be able to get it through a wholesaler over there. NOTE: The g-tablet screen
is thinner than regular ones so you have to have the exact model.
You might check the long thread about replacement panels (not the current ones, an
older one from back in November/December for the number.
Also, what about sending it to VS for repair?

I'm looking to fix a cracked screen on an N9005. I don't really want to go down the route of trying to take off the top layer of glass as I've heard the success rate for that is really low so I'm looking at picking up a whole new assembly, digitiser, lcd, the lot.
Obviously I've tried scouring a certain well known auction site and I'm keeping in eye on a couple of phones that I might be able to use to remove a working screen but I wondering if there was a certain site that people used? Ideally in the UK but if not then I'll happily wait for a shipment from China.
Cheers!

Ive been through all this pain a couple of months back, and been scourging the whole internet space for a decent, trustworthy, and safe replacement part.
Then I finally made the plunge with an ebay seller from UK.

The housing is genuine, and you have all things ready for replacement in case you have a cracked screen and damaged digitizer - like me.
I had really no big pain doing the replacement - pulling out all the components from the old motherboard, and replacing it onto the new, shipped one.
One note here, which I realized later on, if for some reasons you wanted to change the color of your note3, like I would not have minded going black from white, you can purchase it of the color of your choice, and later on buy a cheap battery cover to complete the transformation. Since I realized this only after purchasing my housing, and I really dont mind my white note3, I was okay. Just to act as a whitleblower, in case...
And for the story, my camera now has bits of glass cracked inside. I am still trying to find a suitable replacement rear camera module... I still have no reply on my post here, and still on the hunt for a decent, genuine one.
Good luck to you.

i shattered my screen today. It is the first time i have ever broken a screen on a mobile device (10 years)! i really want to make sure i go to the right place to buy a new screen and the threads that came up in the search were old. Amazon reviews seem iffy on everything i look into. i am considering getting the Eco-Fused Screen Replacement Kit for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 off amazon because it seems to have the best reviews. It only has 3 1/2 stars, but 165 votes which is a lot more than any of the others.
i was also considering getting a screen off of Repairs Universe (which was really the only solid suggestion i found on here, but from 4 year old thread).
etradesupplies supposedly offers the OEM Gorilla Glass, which seems like the best way to go, but i am skeptical that it is the real deal.
And if i do wind up just buying the screen, can anyone suggest the cheapest, but very reliable, kit?
Thanks in advance.
PS. This is for a TMobile device n9005
EDIT: i was looking at the wrong phone on eTrade Supplies They don't claim to have the OEM Gorilla Glass, unfortunately. i am still open to buying from them though
Go to a repair shop. I tried replacing screen on my S4 and broke the digitizer. You need experience & tools. I had the UV lamp and UV glue ... watched You Tubes films read tech guides !%**
Just don't do it yourself
In all honesty I'd recommend looking into buying a replacement second hand device and selling the broken one on eBay as spares/repair. I had so much grief trying to fix my S4 when I smashed the screen what with fake glass and waiting for shipping. When I looked into it the price of a second hand device - eBay sale of broken device was pretty close to fixing it myself anyway. Good luck.
Hey there, I hope this is the right place to post this, and if not, I apologize.
The glass in one corner of my S7 Plus tablet is cracked and I am looking to get it fixed, depending on cost. The touchscreen still seems to be unaffected by the broken glass, so I did not think I would need to replace the LCD screen, just the glass.
I contacted a local phone repair place near me to see if I bought a glass panel from Amazon and brought it to them with my tablet if they could do the replacement. They said that it would need to be the glass and LCD screen because they are fused together. The cost of the repair work would be around $130. That did not seem too high to me, but I have never been in this position before, so I have nothing to compare it to.
I have looked online for the cost to get the glass and LCD from Samsung (genuine part would keep the warranty intact from what I have read) and I am only finding pricing for Samsung Australia. That price was around $325 (if I did the conversion right), so I would be looking at over $450 (not counting shipping for the glass and LCD) at minimum.
I am not comfortable trying to replace the glass and LCD myself, so I know my options may be limited. My concern is that for $450 I could instead buy another nice Android tablet (or a Windows one that I can install Linux onto, which I kind of want to do anyways). Is anyone aware of any other replacement options I might be able to try or are worth investigating? This was the one time I did not get the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this damage...
Any advice, help, or ideas are greatly appreciated!

You want a OEM part not a CCP knockoff; the display quality may be inferior or have interface issues.
If it's an LCD display a used OEM one should work fine. Those can likely be found for cheap.
Or simply use as is.
Watch a tear down vid. I'm don't think they're fused. Most are not... although I maybe mistaken.

So that was my first thought, but the repair shop said they were fused and when I searched YouTube for repair videos a couple mentioned needed to heat the glass (broken one not the new one) to remove it and then gently remove residue or something. I am not confident in being able to do the repair myself (hands shake too much and really bad carpal tunnel) and am worried I would break it in the process.

Do some more research. If the are available used on ebay, it's not that hard!
Probably a heat gun properly used will do the job fine.
Lots of repair shops around and online; find a less greedy one. Or a knowledgeable tech at church etc willing to help.
Do Not get isopropyl or any solvents near the liquid crystal display!!!
It will poison it. The sides of the panel are not sealed.
Thanks for the advice. I will do some more research and see what I can find. Hopefully, I can figure out something that doesn't cost as much, but will still work well. I am still kicking myself for not putting it in a protective case and getting the extended warranty from Amazon that would have covered this.

I don't think it will be as bad as you think if you get the right person to repair it.
Just be careful with it for now. Make sure all your critical data is redundantly backed up.
I case everything... it's the only reason my devices weren't destroyed long ago.
