Hello everybody!
Recently my Note 10 screen broke and I decided to replace the screen with non-genuine display from Ali Express.
While it is cheap and gets your device up and runing, it is downgrade because it is LCD and doesnot support fingerprint and S-Pen.
However, i have documented the whole changing process so anyone here on a situation like me can replace display at home without giving away phone with personal storage to random shops for fixing.
Thanks for reading, Ill appreciate the feedback and tips for making tutorials in future.

This GT-P7510 with me began to show some reddish display problem. Below is the 10-second video. The 1 minute video I have a problem uploading as of now, but working on it.
Code:

Once the redness takes over the screen (0:05 onwards), the tab will have reddish gradients especially visible when viewing videos, full screen colored pictures, or operating the camera, something like in 256 colors mode or less with red gradients. Its not seen on this short video, but can be seen on the next video still in the works of uploading.
Aside from that, the tab works perfectly normal. When in low brightness and used for everything else aside video, the issue is not much noticeable can it can be used just as any other normal fully working units.
Now my problem is I don't have warranty as unit came from abroad and after bringing the unit to local Samsung, I somehow feel that they don't want to spend time to think about the issue thru the way they talk with me. Looks like they have to improve their staff for customer service attitude but that's not the point of this post. Anyway, the proposal to me after having the unit with them for more than a week for assessment was to "replace the screen and camera". I did not have it repaired for the moment so I can think about it carefully and ask for recommendations.
I mean, hello. All works well aside from that reddish tint. I completely understand that all Galaxy Tab 10.1 are less than a year old and all warrantied so doing replacement will probably fix the problem and with least use of brains. I guess that's the protocol for all 10.1 units with any hardware issue as Samsung will cover the warranty.
However, didn't they think maybe something just need replace on the board, like perhaps just the CPU/GPU chip or somewhere similar? The screen is the most expensive part of the device and if that's the one need replacement then it already goes to the level of thinking of the thing is already in the borders of "beyond economical repair".
Also, where did the idea the camera needs replacement as well? I will do a testing of a video call and see if the other party will see me reddish and will update this post.
I've thought of several options:
1. Auction it off whilst being honest with the issue of course, letting the market dictate the price by starting a low bid.
2. Just use it (or have a toddler/kid play use it), live with the issue for the moment. I play with it also in terms of testing custom ROMs and curious of the upcoming ICS onto it. I can prefer not to use it as I have a competitor tablet as well.
3. Wait it out for this tab10.1 to go mainstream to the masses and mature, when many owns it more chances of parts coming along and 3rd party repair technicians that can do isolation and swap out parts with a worse unit (ie. broken screen).
4. Wait it out, then go back to Samsung which probably by then knows already how to use brains to isolate the issue and provide a knowledgeable recommendation as probably that time they handle out of warranty units. Also, hopefully by then whatever replacement part cost should have gone down.
As like all my other stuff, the thing is mint, screen protector on & back protected by TPU (whilst the back plastics are still there intact) even before it was used, boxes and all accessories are as new, the power adaptor still has its plastic skin on. That's why I am kind of "attached" to the unit, this is something that has no physical sign of use at all.
Any futher recommendations or other inputs on how to move forward with this?

hey fellow modders,
i recently dropped my legend on a trek resulting in a cracked digitizer and screen. for replacement i was looking for cheap broken legends on ebay to replace the broken screen and digitizer and came across two items which say
"ALTHOUGH THE PHONE DOES SEND & RECEIVE CALLS
THE TOUCH SCREEN FOR THE DROP DOWN BOXES SOMETIMES
WORKS & SOMETIMES DOESNT, HENCE SPARES OR REPAIR."
if the digitizer and screen is sourced from such a phone will my perfect (was perfect before it was dropped) legend also inherit the mentioned problem?? apparently this is a common problem with legends.
Thanks very much and mod on XDA!!
Hi All
Just started to buy up some old (spare or repair) I9100 phones with the hope of getting at least one which would work fully. I now have the final product but still no working screen! The screen I have looks perfect but shows nothing, I've tried the following:
Shine torch on screen to see if the LCD is damaged (nothing)
putting the screen on a second S2 (nothing, but it is not known if the second one actually works beyond making the right noises on start up)
Cleaned off all the connectors
I really don't want to take the screen off the frame so I wanted to know if anyone knows about testing/fault finding on the LCD with a multimeter type set up, like maybe a pin out or test points. Failing this I'm thinking of selling it all back on, so with that in mind does anyone have any advice on the IMEI and what to advertise.
oh and I've got some reasonable images of the LCD connector and some of the resistors which can be seen through the viewing ports in the frame for possible continuity tests.
Thanks in advance.
So, okay. I've searched everywhere but found no reference of Samsung S3's touchscreen compatibility.
There are at least 3?? variants of our beloved S3, but does the touchscreen of a I9300 fit that of SHV-E210L?
I have the E210L with a disabled touch after rooting. Now, I want to change its touchscreen but don't want to buy something I'll regret later. I've done everything from restoring, factory resetting, and re-flashing the FW but still the touch is disabled.
So, XDA-folks. Does the S3 have touchscreen compatibility or does it fit to all Samsung S3 variants?
Bump? Anybody?
Easiest way would be check those selling replacement screen assemblies, if one screen fits several models then you may have your answer.
However, as flashing the wrong kernel seems to always destroy the touchscreen I would doubt they are compatible.
I also don't think you can change just the digitiser, it's glued to the oled and unlike the glass screen is very fragile.

Hey man, thanks for the reply.
I'm thinking about replacing the whole screen, not just the digitizer as I don't have any experience at all with separating the touch and LCD with the heat gun..
Unfortunately, we don't have an eBay-like service here in the Philippines (which do returns) so trying/fitting screens is quite out of my options. Also worth noting is the E210L's antenna attached at the back cover, I'm afraid that if I do buy an I9300's screen it would somehow get in the way.. It's detachable though, but yeah..well..you know. :silly:
Guess I have to resort with phone techs scattered throughout the area. I just hope they don't make matters worse with my phone. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again!

Hey guys I bought a used note 2 VZW
long story short the screen was busted and I repaired it, the screen is unresponsive to touch (it will respond
but it's very iffy usually having to tap on the screen pretty hard to get it to recognize the finger.) it was spazzing out too
with nothing else touching the screen i turned on show pointer location and it was moving extremely rapidly up and down
the left side of the screen.
but when the S-Pen is removed and used it works fine.
the replacement part i used was for the VZW model number i605/L900 is it possible the replacement part had a bad digitizer?
all pins/connecters were seated with care. it worked fine for about 3 weeks, then Bam. no dice, any way if anyone is interested
in it pm me, i've got a note 3 on order from BestBuy.
I'm giving up on buying used and repairing them, i'd rather buy new at discounted prices. than pay near full price (including replacement
parts repair it and it still be screwed.)
