Phone was dropped today. The touchscreen no longer works and the screen is cracked. There is also what looks like a black liquid from the LCD. I therefore believe I must replace the LCD, digitiser and glass screen. I was just wondering where the best place to buy them from as I feel like I should avoid AliExpress and others alike. Although I dont want to spend to much.
Do all 3 come in one unit? For example if I get an OEM Screen Replacement for the S9, it will include LCD, digitiser and glass screen?
Thanks, all help is appreciated
I just checked over at Samsung. For the S9+ screen and digitizer $229. I did a guick search and found some for a low as $169.. Best to go OEM if you ask me, especially if you plan on keeping it for a while, and want it to work correctly.
Aftermarket frame and screen setups are rarely OEM quality. despite most of the claims. I would only buy samsung direct

Hi guys,
I just dropped my vibrant from 3 feet high and gorilla glass had a crack and half of the screen doesnt work and half of it shows random colors. Other than that it seems fine. Does it happened to someone else? I thought gorilla glass is uncrackable and Samoled is so elastic and durable but it seems opposite.
Should I send it to SamsungUSA or just buy a complete digitizer+glass+Samoled kits from ebay around 129$? Which one will be cheaper because I am afraid Samsung will charge a lot for screen replacement?
If you can help me I really appreciate it,
Thanks
If you have the insurance it is 135.00 with tmo or whomever they subcontract the insurance to. Otherwise check Globaldirect for cost. It usually will be cheaper there. Also, be aware that some replacement kits are not amoled but LCD kit so read the fine print on that as well.
Good luck
thanks, i am probably gonna order from ebay and change it myself. Globaldirect has minimum order restriction so its not useful for me
Did you check with Samsung directly for your regular warranty? The way these things usually work is that the normal warranty covers it until the 1 year is up -- no deductible. Since it is supposedly Gorilla Glass they should cover the glass from damage too. Be really charming when talking with them. Call back until you get a representative in your country too (during the day is safest.)
Let me know so I have it for future reference.

that's a misconception abt gorilla glass. its stronger than regular glass. its scratch n crack resistant but not scratch n crack proof. oh and samsung DOES NOT distribute their samoled screens to 3rd parties. all those.sellers on ebay are.selling regular LCD screen replacements.
Quick question and i'm sorry if it has been asked before.
My stepdad cracked the screen but the digitizer and the LCD are fine.
My question is, can I replace the glass screen by its-self (as i've seen for sale for $7.00), or is the digitizer and LCD glued to the screen when I take it apart similar to the iPhones.
I'd rather not have to purchase a digitizer and a LCD if i don't have to.
Thanks in advance for the help :good:
Its one unit so you need to buy that for about $185. Its only possible to successfully separate the glass from the digitizer and the capacitive buttons with a machine.
Used notes are priced at about the same as the replacement screen unit.
Worth a try

Not really. The hairdryer heats up and damages the lcd while doing a marginal job of softening the adhesive. You will likely overheat the lcd. The buttons are deeply imbedded in the adhesive and are harder to place on the new glass. The adhesive sticker is pretty difficult to place correctly. I have excellent skills, and have replaced many screens (gorilla glass is a poor name choice) and I attempted this but it didn't go so good.

wow, that's intense!! maybe if it was my phone, i'd try. thanks for the video, but i'm going to tell him to buy a new phone. haha, way too much work for me!
So I broke the screen on my Note II. It doesn't look like the outside screen is damaged just the lcd screen. I was gonna buy a replacement with both screens, but that's not cheap. Not only is it expensive, but it seems to also be quite hard to accomplish successfully. So I'm asking has anyone replaced their screen? And if so was it successful? Are their any reputable businesses that I could use? Thanks.
I've read many, many topics on the internet about the phone being scratched easily - and I've fallen into this. I know, I should have been using a a screen protector earlier, and I regret it. However, I was wondering how much it would cost to get the front screen replaced on the S3? Only the front screen is scratched - very badly. Any ideas?

Probably about £50, but why are you asking here when you could look on the repair shop's site
From what i've seen, 50 seems about right. However, if you're brave enough, you could try to order the parts yourself and replace it. You run the risk of screwing up your AMOLED screen though.
Screen (glass) is part of display module (AMOLED panel with frame). Officially glass is not replaceable, only entire display module.
You may replace display module at official Samsung service for about 200$.
You may buy display module with frame for about 100$ and replace it by yourself (it is easy, it will take 1 hour).
You may buy S3 glass only for about 5$ and replace it by yourself. It is not original glass. It is hard to replace. You may break display (if so you will need new display module with frame).
i recently dropped my phone and it got a crack in the bottom right corner around the back button stretching up to the middle of the left hand side of the screen, and i need help repairing it.
Im not sure if i can just replace the glass myself or i need to replace the digitizer or any other parts as the screen and back button still work perfectly fine.
I'd also like to know whether this job is easy enough to do at home as i am on a low budget, however i dont have much experience fixing phones.
much appreciated if anyone can help me
Replace the screen assembly, glass plus digitiser and oled screen. Trying to unglue the glass is very hard and the heat can kill the phone.

Replacing the whole digitiser is a lot easier, but beware cheap(ish) ebay parts - I replaced my digitiser with an assembly from ebay, but the glass in the replacement broke very easily.... replaced it again and it's cracked again, without even having a hard knock. Nowehere near as sturdy as OEM parts. Screen still works so leaving it for now
Words of warning...
I attempted to replace the glass on my S3 after I dropped it. I have over 20 years experience as a computer engineer and access to loads of tools. I watched numerous YouTube videos on the process before I started yet still I managed to break the digitiser. In the end I bit the bullet and bought another brand new S3 for £200. The cheapo replacement glass I bought from eBay did not seem very sturdy either - I'm certain it's not gorilla glass. My advice would be to get it fixed professionally by someone who uses OEM parts but then again, how close in price would that be to a brand new phone?
