To add a bit of context, I dropped my phone into a dry sink while using it at faucet level. The height was around 4 inches and the LCD screen and digitizer broke. Not quite sure if the digitizer is broken but touch inputs are only received on certain regions of the screen (a statement on part quality?). The front glass panel is unscathed if that helps. So how would I go about disassembling and replacing an LCD display and digitizer on this phone? Also, where could I buy these parts?
You can go to a repair center to fix it.
And... You can buy the screen in Aliexpress just out "gionee s6" in the search bar and down the list. I don't know if you cand find digitizwr too.
Btw sorry my bad English.
Thanks

Hi everyone. Thanks already for having a look!
So I dropped my i9300 on my carpet, while i was taking it out of the case that I usually have it in ... and now my display doesn't work anymore
I still get my notifications beeps and emails are coming in, the buttons light but but my screen is dark (I see two fainted lines sometimes)
I see it is cracked on the inside but the glass is fine from the outside (really odd).
I am not sure if that's called a digitizer or LED pane or whatnot but maybe you can help me. Where would i get that part and how i could do that myself. All the tutorials i could find were for cracked screens (where the glass is busted)
Thank you very much in advance for the help!!
Sounds to me tat its just the beneath of the glass since the digitizer and all is in one piece. Not sure though. I think it is btr for u to just bring it to a repair shop.

So my girlfriend dropped her s3 the other night , the screen stays off ( does not light up ) but the touch sensors still work, we can answer calls on it by knowing the approximate location of the answer button, any thoughts on what the issue is ? I would prefer to repair this at home rather than make her pay money through a shop, thanks in advance

It is easy to replace broken GLASS.
but i think you will need to replace screen.
If you purchase assembly of glass, digitizer and screen it will be very easy to replace by yourself.

The glass isnt broken, perfectly clean with no scratches cracks or nicks , it just wont light up;
i had the same problem once, had to be sent to samsung (or wherever) by the shop where i bought it
buying a display and metal frame (obviously you can't buy them seperatly) plus glass would have cost almost the same
i wanted to find out whether the screen still works and it's a problem with my motherboard or vice versa so i unscrewed all bolts to access where the screen is plugged in on the motherboard but i didn't have another s3 to do the same and check it :silly:
still don't know how amoled displays work so it might be possible that whatever's responsible for backlighting the display broke

My thought was that the backlight broke or maybe the entire display system is disconnected , I might just have to take it apart for an exploratory operation,
before it went completely black there was a purple stain which grew until two thirds of my display were purple, the lower part where it started was black.
then i managed to open this samsung hardware debugging menu where you can check for dead pixels by letting your display light up in red, green and blue. there i found out that only blue and green pixels very working correctly in the upper third. the next day every purple pixel was dead.
so 2 months after this little stain appeared my whole display was in the same state as your girlfriend's seem to be now.
so i don't think this plug (it sits in place pretty tight) got loose and that's why it doesn't work anymore.
and my sister had exactly your problem. she dropped her s2 and it immediately went black
she hat to sent it in as well ...
good luck
if you find out what's the problem and want to share it, i am curious about it as well
If possible, check for loose connectors first.
I don't know about replacing the screen. The sheer amount of LOCA makes it a messy job.
Probably the display is dead. You'd need to replace the screen+glass.
There is no back light on an oled screen.

Hi viewers, as you can see in the image attachment there, i'm just wondering what i am dealing with here so i kinda need your help telling me what that is, its definitely internally...the Lcd is fine, and i can still pull down the status bar when i touch over it... i don't really know how this happened and it bothers me, so yeah need some info >_<
Oh and if possible direct me to a link i need to buy a spare part to replace anything... thank you very much, appreciate your respone

Was the phone dropped as it looks like some damage on the top corner there or did a liquid get into the phone as it kinda looks like the digitizer got separated from the lcd screen as i had a phone that kinda looked like that and salt water got into it and salt water will really work things over faster.
But if the digitizer did lift it would have to be separated from the lcd screen and put back down again which is not a fun job to do as i believe there is a special film in between the digitizer and lcd screen that would have to be replaced, if not careful when separating the two the lcd screen can be broken very easy, i have replaced the whole digitizer and screen as one unit without any problems..but i never tried to separate the digitizer from the lcd myself..but if the whole digitizer + screen have to be replaced the assembly are a little over a $100 US.
But by your pic this is all i can suggest at this time as if the digitizer itself has to be replaced that is up to you as that is a more delicate job then just replacing the whole digitizer+lcd screen assembly.
Oh i'm very sorry man for late reply, busy lately... anyway thank u very much for your response and what i need to know...well i'm probably just going to leave it like that for now :/ i've all checked around for that digitizer+Lcd together, really expensive... so yeah thx again
Good evening!
My S3 has just fallen down. Now only physical buttons, back and menu are working. Screen has no physical damage but the digitalizer is not getting ANY of my touch. This makes me thing that it can be the internal connections. If it was broken I believe some screen zones would be still recognised. Then, I believe (and hope) digitalizer is in a well state. What are your thoughts about this?
Apart from this, how can I open the phone to check the connection. I've seen videos in which they replace the screen but I don't know if I can follow this procedure since, if it is still working, I don't know if I could re-glue it again.
Please, what can I do?
Thanks!

It is very possibly your digitizer can be broken but not show any physical damage. If it happened right after a fall then this is a real possibility.
Do not try to pull the screen sections apart you will damage it. Get a new whole screen assembly
Thank you very much for the answer!. Could you please send me a reference of the whole screen assembly I need? You mean digitalizer plus lcd? just digitalizer? Could you provide me a good but cheap one?.

You will need the glass, lcd and digitizer. The term "whole screen assembly" should be enough.
Thanks for the info. I've seen prices of this replacement set and it's about 100$ (80€). I don't think I should pay so much for a 2-year phone. I am thinking about taking a Xiaomi redmi note 4g for 169€.

Yer it is pricey, atleast in my country almost just as expensive to by a new s3 rather than get a new screen when you way up the aspects of a new phone plus the warranty
Hello people!
I just dropped my phone display first into the floor.
The only visible damage is a tiny arced crack at the right edge of the screen, but that was enough to screw up the whole touch screen because the phone seems to activate touch around the crack, which leads me to my first question:
1 - Is there a way to disable part of the touch screen?
I can live without touch in the area of the damage, just not without any working touch
2 - Is there a way to hardware test using a PC to evaluate the extent of the damage?
3 - Do I buy just the screen, the screen + LCD or screen + LCD + frame?
4 - How do I know which OEM of Ebay to buy? Can I trust the ones saying it's an original Sony Screen + LCD?
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I do believe there are more people out there with same or very similar questions.
HI,
I had craked my z2 screen twise
in my experience u need to replace the whole LCD screen .
i had craked my Z before, but for Z , the crak didnt affect other parts , you can use the phone , but for z2 no hope.

in this case no, Z2 LCD display is seperateed from the glass
you can weirdly find glass and screen put as one but thats some sort of odd scam :/

Thank you so much for giving me the answer I wanted to hear. Unfortunately I can't find any videos on how to do this for the Z2. Have you done it? I'm curious to know whether the display is allover glued to the digitizer as in the case of the Z1 or if it's just glued around the corners of the screen as in the M2. Mind you that this is simply observations I've made from watching youtube videos, so the above mentioned information might not be correct.
man, u cannot separate the display and digitizer . its a single glass. for Z2. u need to replace the single glass
You could try finding parts from aliexpress, try looking through the feedbacks before ordering.
Or if you are not too bothered by the cracks you could just put on a screen protector or a tempered glass screen protector.
Try going into youtube and search witrigs for teardown and repair videos.
Wish you good luck! ?

Hi guys,
My Screen cracked, i order a new screen. I install it right with instructions. LCD screen works about 1 minutes, but now the phone has so called ghost touches.
What might be a problem? LDC-screen is broken?

Yeah!
I did take a chance and purchased a new glass without display. Good news is I never got an opportunity to use it, so I might be able to return it. Bad new is I'm now buying a front glass and lcd.
Even though it might technically be possible to just exchanging the front screen, I would say it's highly improbable that you will successfully do so.
Judged by my level of technical tinkering, I would say that a vast majority of the people in this forum will probably fail in exchanging front glass without exchanging lcd.
I'm not saying this to put anyone down, but I'm giving you the advice I wish I would've gotten before getting over-confident.
So for goodness sake,
BUY FRONT GLASS+DIGITIZER+LCD, and save yourself both time, headache, and possibly money
Hi, i'm waiting for my Z2 replacement screen and i have a question for those who have changed it, does the sensitivity of the touch screen is the same like the original? I mean the option that you can use the phone with gloves...
Thanks!
How much did it cost u, repairing the screen
