I had a carabiner case, which was attached to my bag, so the phone was hanging off of my bag. I put my bag down in the car, and closed the door...on the phone. The phone has a nice, tiny crack at the top left of the screen, rendering the touchscreen portion from working. At the time of the incident, the screen was still working, but after 3 days, the screen started to "die off". Now, the screen is not working, as in not turning on, but everything else is still good (I think...the sound's working, the phone's turning on as if there is no problem). I'm living in Belgium and I've called Samsung Belgium, but they weren't much help. Checked the store that I bought it from, but they weren't much help either. I've decided that I'm gonna just replace the screen myself. I've looked online for a similar issue, but I've found nothing. My question is, what do I need to get to begin repairing my phone.
I'll post pictures of the phone later.
You need an display panel and digitizer (they come as one unit. I've seen them on eBay here for £119 for the entire screen assembly and (in this case white) outer frame. It's a very easy job to take apart the S3 and attach such a unit to the motherboard as the S3 is not a complicated assembly at all.

Thanks...another question, what kind of protection you got on your phone?
There's an iFixit teardown on YouTube. Just watch that. Basically though, you take the battery/SIM/Micro SD out, remove the screws at the back to take the rear panel off and expose the motherboard. There's one more screw as I recall, a few ribbon connectors, an aerial clip, a protector over upper portion of the unit which just pulls away and you then remove this and the motherboard and you have an exposed unit (the same unit you buy ready assembled from a number of outlets. As I said, the cheapest I've seen one is for £119 from a seller on eBay which I believe was refurbished.

I use a TPU case and a pretty bog standard screen protector. After my girlfriend broke her screen completely (to the point of not even switching on) from a drop of less than two feet and a friend of mine had the same happen I'm massively paranoid about my S3 breaking and am even contemplating selling it for that reason, though it is reassuring to know I can fix it easily enough I suppose.

So, an update. I've had a screen protector the entire time. It didn't occur to me to check the crack. Turns out the crack is inside the glass, which means that the screen is not cracked. Does this change anything?

Not really screen and digitizer are bonded together, with the right tools you might separate them but how are you going to bond the new digitizer to the old screen?

If you filed an insurance claim the imei is not clean anymore. Having said that people said you couldn't do it on the s3 either and several did following that video. Give it a shot since you really have nothing to lose.

Which video did you use? I found the one by Le550ns and I was going to use that. What screen replacement kit did you get? Was it pretty straightforward? The disassembly doesn't look too hard, I'm just afraid that there will be air bubbles when I put it all back together.
Got one glass off of ebay for n7100 about 30. Im just waiting in the adhesive. I used the same disassembly by lessons on you tube but the inside was a little different due to the radios. Did you order the adhesive yet. Just a tip use plastice so you dont scratch the screen.

Do you have pictures that you took off gradually touch screen digitizer (glass)?
What do you all use to prevent damage to the LCD?
I actually didnt take pics because it was the same as the youtube video for the s3 but I used tweezers that were metal instead of the plastic knife. Word to the wise use the plastic knife it wont damage the lcd. If you heat the optical adhesive to the right temp. Just make sure you get it hot enough and it will melt like butter. I scratched mine a little but you cant tell when the screen is on. The problem most will have is locating the clear optical adhesive with out buying in bulk. Like I said I convinced a locale repair shop to order them bulk from Hong Kong if I showed him how I did it. So he can turn a bigger profit with out buying the 270 dollar part. Good luck and take your time took me an hour to get all off and reassembled with out the glass. I'm still waiting on the tape. The repair shop should get ot some time this week I hope.

Did you have any issues with dust landing on the screen? You do have me confused when you say LCD though. The screen is OLED.
The local shop put a bulk order in for this part clear optical adhesive. When he gets them in I'll let everyone know. I havent attached the glass yet. Thats why I put the title as half done. Best bet is to run hot water in the shower to clear that room of dust. Then clean screen and attach.

Hey guys. I have tried this already as I broke my glass screen the day after I got my Gnote2. I ordered everything from E-trade Supply International including the Glass replacement and the optical double sided tape. I had no problems removing the broken glass from the LCD by using a good heat gun, wear gloves as this gets very hot, I went with the E-Trade video on You tube, However this is where the easy process ended. I had a impossible time applying the double sided optical tape. It is extremely high adhesive and I could not get it on without bubbles or wrinkles in it, also anything used to press it on other that a rubber stamp style roller would cause marks and is visible in the end. I thought I was smart as I ordered two of every part needed including the glass and tape, just in case, well after two attempts with the optical tape I still had problems applying it without visible marks. Maybe its just me and not so steady hands or frustration. Either way I ended up filing a claim with Asurion and getting a replacement, Still have the old one as I said it was lost. Any one perfecting this let me know I would be willing to pay to have the original Note2 repaired as I'm well invested in it now. I have the replacement parts. Im in Huntington Beach SoCal ,
I was able to order the glass and an adhesive strip for the edges of the GNote2 (after having cracked my glass). The adhesive strip is good because the glass is held firmly, but the middle "adhesive" is no longer necessary in case additional repairs are warrented later.
As for the repair itself: I did the process as shown on many videos, and was able to remove the old glass, but in the process I overheated the bottom of the AMOLED/digitizer assembly (under the glass) near the home button in the middle. As a result, I now have a yellow tinge to the bottom of the screen (maybe 1/2" in height and 2-3 inches across), but the digitizer still functions properly. This is a very delicate procedure. Another result of having replaced my glass is that my radios seem to be noisy and I burn through battery, even with the screen off. I suspect this is because the radio(s) is(are) noisy and the 4gLTE is constantly trying to acquire signal. This conclusion is due to the fact that even WiFi will only operate if I am right next to the router. Otherwise, I can see the router with the phone, but the phone will not authenticate unless I am directly next to the router, and as I move away from the router, the operating speed decreases quickly.
In any case, be careful doing this repair yourself. I think it can be done, but it is highly delicate and requires significant patience.
Cheers,
B.D.

Well I did one last week that was successful but I was practicing on one with a broken digitizer so it was no good anyway. I broke it. This one seemed more hard to separate from the lcd. I don't know why. The lcd lifted from the housing and I didnt use much heat at all. But I'll post pictures for anyone who would like to attempt this. You can see on the pic with the tool how thin the glass is and where the lcd lifted from the housing.

I was looking for a thread to post this in, this may be the right place as you may have an idea, since you just installed a mega screen.
I cracked my mega screen last night, originally the phone was still working. In about half an hour the screen wasn't registering swipes, so I can't even unlock the screen. I dropped the phone in the rain so I'm not sure if it's simply the screen or if water has gotten in to the cracks?
Anyways, I am trying to make a decision on wether to sell my broken phone to Mazuma mobile and get around $120 back, or wether it's worth trying to get fixed. I'm not confident fixing phones, so ordering in the screen and attempting it is not an option. What I want to know, is what are the chances of a local repair shop being able to source a mega screen, and fix it, for a decent cost that would make getting it fixed the better option? Since you have just installed a screen I figure you at least know how much the part is
You can buy the lcd screen + digitizer which comes all pre-assembled and all you have to do it swap the whole screen + digitizer out as one unit..this way no fear of breaking anything..i see one on ebay for $158.00 US for the mega 6.3 i9200..but i think it will also work on the other 6.3 mega models..as they must all be the same that way...but i am not 100% sure on that. :good:

If you get the lcd and digitizer together, you can fix yourself and it's easy just as star master says. If you have a shop nearby they can replace just the glass

There is some kind of double side transparent adhesive between LCD and digitizer. So good luck
Opened front glass
Hi, I opened front glass of Mega 5.8 to clean the dust inside it. When I put it back, the touch is not working. Earlier it was working perfectly, I did not remove any cables. Also that I cleaned it with dry cloth while the phone was on.

Hi,
I've never worked on one of these before but I have repaired many GS3, GS4, Note 2 with no problems. You successfully repaired one so my question is, is the optical adhesive like the GS3 where it rubs off with your finger? I've noticed a difference in GS3 & GS4 adhesive the GS4 is more difficult to clean off digitizer.
That yellow flex cable in your pic looks like a Digitizer flex. The layers are LCD (bottom) / Digitizer (sits on top of LCD so center) / Glass (top which is what our finger touches).
I have a Mega coming in tomorrow and the customer bought just the glass online. I'll see if I can separate. If you have any questions let me know I have repaired many a phones.
Did you get it?

Hey,
No good. The LCD was lifting off the frame which is a guarantee to break on such a large device. Also the adhesive is not the same as the GS3, it doesn't separate as easy. I stopped after I noticed the optical adhesive was not the same so do not attempt to "Lift Separate"
The best way to remove this digitizer is with a hot plate & (.10mm) molybdenum wire and slowly drag the wire between the LCD & Digi while face down on hotplate.

I knew that was the only way to do it, with hot plate and fishing pole string. I'm sure it's a slow process. I'll have to invest in a good hot plate.

No huge investment needed, I use a standard electric pancake griddle which can be bought for around $20. Good, even heat. I've never tried the fishing line method but a pair of business cards does the job very well. I get it started with a dull razor blade in the corner and as soon as I see the glass separating, I slide a business card in behind it. Do the same for the other side. On these big screens, slide the cards down a bit, lay it down on heat, repeat. The trick to not busting the LCD is to keep the heat on it and take your time.
My temperature is set to 200 farenheit. Not sure off hand what that converts to in celsius. Ideally, you don't want the surface to pass 120 celsius. If in doubt, start low and increase temp slowly until the glue softens enough.
The glue we're taking about is LOCA[liquid optically clear adhesive] and is UV activated. It can be bought online pretty cheap. If you're going to replace the glass, go ahead and use the LOCA when putting the new glass on. I've seen sensitivity issues on glass that doesn't have the glue between it and the LCD. If you use the glue be sure to remove EVERYTHING from the frame including cameras, speakers, buttons and mics as it can get messy and go pretty much everywhere. To activate the glue you can literally take it outside on a sunny day and it will cure fairly quickly, about 5 mins or so. To remove it from unwanted areas just use a toothpick, toothbrush, and some rubbing alcohol. I've done it dozens of times this way and it always comes out looking factory fresh

It comes with adhesive. But nfc antenna must be unglued from the old back glass. To do that you have to heat up the glass very well so it won't break or torn off.
Heat up the old glass i mean.
hey guys , did anyone succeeded to buy original back glass , and after that phone is again waterproof ? cos some people told me that doesnt matter what back cover i buy even with adhesive , the phone wont be waterproof , only sony can repair it for waterproof again. is that true ?
No man
There are adhesive on the back of glass dont mention about it
You could either buy the plate AND the adhesive thingy (comes separately). Or go my way (slightly risky).
The stock glass plate keeps breaking so I took the measurements and made an Aluminium plate. Then drilled camera holes into it and painted it. Then came the tricky part. I stuck the plate into place using regular epoxy (waterproof) adhesive. You have to be very careful while doing the last part because of obvious reasons tho.
The problem with the adhesive thingy that you get to buy (And also the one that Sony uses in the device) is that although its water proof, it isn't heat resistant. and as we all know how Sony phones heat, the adhesive comes off.

This is very creative and I sure as hell would like to try my hand at it. How thick was the aluminum?
I bet your phone becomes hot as an iron when gaming haha, which is good for your internals because of better heat dissipation. Any adverse effects on mobile reception? wifi? bluetooth? guess NFC is gone haha

Well, I given my z2 to friend to replace battery and few days ago I left my phone in silk for 10 minutes, because it was dirty and no issue here.
@MindfreakBS
What are NFC and Cell reception like since installing the aluminium back plate?
Any deterioration in signal strength / call quality / WiFi / Bluetooth?

Aluminium is a millimetre thick. It does get hot, yeah.
Mobile reception is same (Maybe a tad bit lower, idk), wifi bluetooth work fine. NFC still intact. I fixed it onto the plate in position.
@rubiicon59 that should answer your question too
I was planning to post a tutorial. Haven't been able to take out enough time though.
How about a pic...

What if I want to use a 2-mm thick acrylic as my black plate? Is it possible? Because I am afraid that it will exceed the metal frame of the phone and it will ended up looking terrible:crying:
I agree, I think 1.0mm would be more suitable.
At 2mm, you might get an M4 Aqua kind of look hahaha

Dropped z2 yday ;/ it was one of my frenchies who jumped on me, phone fall first on screen, than on back glass and finaly landed in dogs water bowl. took it out right away, screen ok, back glass broken and no visible sign of any water entered.
I want to replace the broken glass deck, but to make it so that phone will still be wateproof.. Anyone have any experiance with that? If so, where did you order back glass and did it come with adhesive coating ..?
Thanks for all answers!

I believe that if the broken glass was the only issue, and you use a original replacement part, or decent adhesive tape to glue them back together, you'll have no problem. I've had the same issue few weeks ago, replaced the screen and the phone didn't experienced any problem when submerged.
Do anyone now where can I get an official or a good quality back glass for my xperia z2, I broke the original one but i don't want to replace with one without any quality.
buy a nice "glue" to fix that..

Replacement Camera
I guess the only option available is Moto Service Centre. They replace genuine parts, but price is little high.

So why the genuine glass cover got scratches? I have personally ordered replacement glass from Amazon.in for about Rs. 400 and it is much better than stock glass.
If you want to spend more like Rs. 1200-1500 go for a service centre repair.
This one should fit you right

Cleaning glass with petrol with a bit rough cloth will solve the purpose easily....I did for mine....
It actually cleans the oleophobic coating...
Hello everyone,
I had the same problem of blurry camera it was caused due to scratches on the oleophobic coating on the camera lens.
I would not recommend you to replace lens (if u want u can get it on Amazon for around 200-250rs in India) as replacement lens might have the same problem of scratches after some time.
Instead I had used rust removal paste to get rid of scratches. After using it my camera is Crystal clear. Before that I had tried using pepsodent toothpaste it didn't work. I even tried sharp object to scrape the coating it didn't work. So the best solution to the problem is to use rust removal paste with tissue paper or cloth to rub over the lens within one minute all scratches disappear.
Hit the thanks if my solution worked for u.

You can also use metal polish(grainier) or car polish.
