I am working on replacing a samsung tmobile lcd screen. I bought a screen off ebay. As i got everything broke down i noticed the adhesive around the edge of the screen. Where can i find this die cut adhesive. I also need it for the flex cable light buttons at the bottom. As I removed the old screen I did not heat it hot enough. the buttons seperated and I do not want to waste a $180 lcd with bad buttons and no adhesive.
I wanna sell my phone you want that

Ive never dropped a cellphone but today was that day. I had bought an invisible shield to put it on today when i got home. Right when i got home i put the phone in my pocket but it had it had hole. BAM. it dropped down my leg and hit the concrete face down. It shattered the digitizer but the lcd is intact. My question was, would i be able to buy a digitizer and change it without having to pay 180 for a new digitizer/lcd ? any help would be appreciated.

I'm fairly sure I've read that the digitizer is fused with the screen.
Yeah there's no way going around it. They're glued together as one piece.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU dammit

I spoke to some rep from samsung yesterday on my phone and they said it would be 179.99 to fix it. But my question is, do i have to include the lcd ? Because my lcd isnt broke and they sell the glass on ebay for 20 bucks. I would rather try and fix it myself and break it, THEN send it to samsung if i cant fix it instead of paying 180 bucks for just some glass since my lcd is not broken and have them rip me off because they will def reuse my lcd and win anyways.

It's been answered.. if you want to do it yourself you're going to end up breaking your LCD and need to buy the part or send it to Samsung anyways. There is no way around it.
There is a video on YouTube with somebody changing only the glass. Check on YouTube so you will have an idea about how to do it and if you will be able.

I dont believe they are "fused" together. from my history in repairing phones, there is just a small sliver of double sided tape holding the digitizer to the LCD screen. and all you need to do is use a plastic seperating tool to slowly seperate the two. Also, use a good hot hair dryer to help melt away the adhesive. good luck!
Go to a hardware store and pick up a heat gun. Take the phone completely apart, take out all the electronics. Heat the screen evenly and slowly start pulling the screen up little by little while hitting it with the heat gun.
Take your time and don't rush. It can be done but it's not easy and can damage the LCD.

If you do this HEAT the **** out of the LCD and digitizer. It will be very hard to separate the two. Please take pictures and tell us you're approach to help other S3 users.
I had a long ass post written but now it's gone. boo.
anyways. Here's something to consider as to why you can't separate it. If you believe there's a way to get around it then good luck.

so my loving, caring. soon-to-be wife, dropped her new note 2 off her lap onto our garage floor. she has a otterbox defender case and when we picked it up the glass was not cracked but the screen has a hairline crack running from the left middle along the side to the bottom. when we tried to turn it on, the screen turned on but the crack in the lcd was now obvious and the digitizer didnt work for the bottom half of the screen. now i realize that i probably have to replace the whole screen assembly but is the a person on here that can direct me to a local repair person in san diego or maybe a site where i can order it online for under $200?
i know its a long shot and the misses can still use the s pen to use the screen but we ended up leaving it off as over time i noticed the screen getting more and more pixelated from the crack line.
tl;dr front glass is perfect, managed to break lcd and digitizer, am i really boned?
Thats pretty amazing, you can aks sammy how much it will cost you if they repair it, but I dont think it will be under 200

You're very unlucky..How did it crack with an Otterbox ??Bad karma..However i fell sorry for you and your note 2..Contact Sammy and see what can you do..You can try to replace it yourself but you'll lost the warranty..
so turns out the phone still had warranty and i dont need a receipt! (traded our old iphone 4s's for two note 2's plus $200 cash on craigslist) called samsung and told them that the phone all of a sudden had cracks under the glass and was very "hot" from charging, they are replacing it no questions asked! thanks anyways guys, il be sure to buy my wife a clutch for her phablet
Nice .! Move ...n thanx for idea.... :thumbup:

Friend of mine broke his screen on his note 2 and I was wondering if I bought a dummy phone and took all the guts and put it in the dummy phone will it work or tske the screen and digitizer and replace it on the broken phone with theone from the dummy phone. Does the digitizer Eben work in the dummy phones?

By dummy phone like the one in display at cell stores that don't work? I don't think they even use real glass for the screen. If you want to replace screen, go in ebay or craigslist and look for a blacklisted or broken note 2

I just repaired mine. I bought the whole display assembly and backing plate for $200 off ebay. The only hard part was taking off the back housing. After removing all the screws and going around the inside of the chrome border with a guitar pick, there is a pastic clip at the top of the battery tray and you need to separate the housing from the speaker assembly before the housing comes off. The unnerving parts are removing the glued down ribbon cables for the vibrator motor and the power button. Use a pastic knife or the dull side of an exacto and slowly and patiently work the ribbon cables free. On a 10 scale where 10 is most difficult, I rate the job a 6 or 7.
The Youtube disassembly videos help a lot.
Doesnt Samsung charge 200 for screen fix including shipping and handling? Lolll you must like to live dangerously

I have replaced cracked Galaxy SIII glass at home with new gorilla glass, bought from all4cellular store . I have replaced the glass using the toolkit which i bought with this and hair dryer.
In this process, i happend to tear the 'return key' cable near home button(right button cable inside the glass), so i have not affixed the new glass with the existing adhesive tightly.
Now what i have is my S3 screen does not turn on even my could hear some sound and feel vibrations.
Is this ('tearing of return key' cable near home button) cause of my phone screen not turning on.
I will post images of my phone.
Can any one help me with my situation, any suggestion or comments?
Let me know if you can not understand the situation.
Sounds like you did more the damage the glass and back button. Take it apart again and make sure everything is connected correctly. It sounds like your going to have to buy a replacement (glass and digitizer as one or just try to buy the digitizer alone) which will not be cheap compared to what I've seen used S3's sell for lately, you might as well buy a used S3 if the display on yours is damaged.

its still in warranty-can this help me
Thank you for very quick reply to my post.
its still in Samsung warranty, can this help me to fix this, by sending them this phone and explain them what i have done.
thanks,
Rajesh.
Samsung might say no, because you have tampered with the device (taking it apart and replacing the glass). You can try though, they might not even notice the phone has been taken apart.

Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.
Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway

He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.
Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.
Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.

you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....
i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>
