Galaxy Note Digitizer

Looking for a Digitizer for my note! I just broke it LCD looks fine and touch screens works perfect. Just need the front glass. But I don't have paypal so I can't buy on ebay!

You can't replace the front glass only. You need to purchase a complete display assembly including the glass, digitizer, AMOLED display, Wacom digitizer, home button and the frame. It costs around 250 dollars.

So all the ebay listing with just the front glass screen are no good? My display and tocuhscreen work perfect.

Yes. You need the complete assembly.

Unless your a pro at removing glue/glass whule being sure not to crack lcd grab just digitizer. And only if you have ultimate patience.
Save yourself a headache a byt complete assembly. Trust me from a guy wasted alot of money on digitizers.

If u know what you are doing it actually isint very hard I would suggest buy the cheapest digitizer around and give it a shot if nothing works out get the whole kit.

I'm thining of buying the digitilizer and take to a mobile shop to have it installed!!

Let me spell it out for you:
You can NOT replace the digitizer/glass only. You need to purchase the complete assembly.

I'm a mobile device service tech too (I actually own the business) and you are correct. You have to replace the entire assembly. It is not possible to separate the screen and digitizer without damage... those people on eBay know full well that you can't and shouldn't be selling them.

Agree with the guys before, you cant just buy the glass. Best to get complete assembly

You can if you have the right tools. I broke my digitizer awhile back and bought the digitizer only. Theres actually a thread around here. Only thing I didnt have was some good double sided tape that would have made everything alot easier.
The biggist issue on ebay with digitizer only are they dont come with preinstalled tape already attached. But a heat (blow dryer) and some good plastic(always only plastic) tools its not that difficult.
I had to purchase just the digitizer because when I cracked the screen, the full assembly wasnt available yet. Its not hard, just takes a little patience.
I eventually converted my note into a white version. Picture below is my old lcd with installed digitizer. I would still suggest to buy complete assembly. I have a guy on ebay that sells them pretty cheap and ships fast.
And daddymatt your missing out on some business.

Out of curiosity, how did you break the digitizer? Did it just stop working?

I have a completely intact Galaxy Note. The only thing that doesn't work is the motherboard. So, you can put your motherboard in this phone, and you would be good to go! I think there are a few videos on youtube about it taking it out and such. It looks really simple to do. I'll sell it to you for $250, if you're interested PM me!

Take a look at http://www.cnn.cn I've bought parts from them before and are reliable.

Note 2 broken screen repair

Samsung charged $190 to fix the screen, the touch screen and everything were working fine but the screen broke.Did anyone get the screen fixed for less? I shopped around locally bu they quoted 350 $...lol..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium HD app

If brave enough they sell just the glass online for around $20. But you have to heat the phone up enough to melt the adhesive and separate the digitizer and glass. I'm not brave enough to try it myself though. There are videos on YouTube showing how but looks to hard for me to even attempt. Other than that I haven't found a cheaper alternative. Cracked mine about a month ago. $200 for a fix through insurance and $200 for a replacement online.

Wish i knew the glass was only 20 bucks i would have certainly went that rout. I brake mine on Saturday, and bought the glass with the digitizer for 229.00 i didnt have any insurance and i was getting the same 350 and up repair cost when i called around.
so mine screen with digitizer will be here to tomorrow, should be a simple fix.

Here is one for $13.99

Yea on the next one i will def be heating up the phone and replacing the glass.
Pissed that i waisted 200 more dollars on the digitzier combo, my bad though i should have kept looking.
thanks for the link bruh.

I wouldn't be pissed they didn't mention the downside to doing this you will not have the oem glue so the display wont stick like oem there is a high chance you will have dust under the display also the phone will become randomly unresponsive this is my experience from the gs3 glass replacement as for many others

Hey guys.. make sure if u replace yourself, to get the 3m transperrent "filler tape" if not, once glass is back on u will have gap beetween digitizer and glass.

I used b&q own brand double sided tape, with no issues. I was worried but it worked out good.

You gents are getting good at this ....
Could someone provide a contact link to the Samsung repair folks ??
I've got a 2nd device that needs a screen ...that I scored for free ...and I'm not gonna risk it myself ..
I figured the repair still falls below value ...then I'll sell the device and make a buck or two for my trouble ...
Thanks in advance ...g

for everyone on this page, the reason the repair price is that way it is is because since the phone is oow by condition you have to cover the shipping, parts and labor.
since samsung is a "all or nothing repair center" even though both screen were not broken, they are going to replace both screens and any other internal parts that have been damaged to prevent shipping back a device that is defective.
after the repair the device will be placed back into full warranty or if it was out of warranty by date when sent in it will be put into a 90 day extended warranty from the time you recieved the device back from repair.
also if you attempt a repair at home and manage to damage the device and after evaluation the device is labeled BER or beyond repair your devices imei will be added to a list and no repair will be able to be made to it.
as for the number to contact for repairs, call 1-888-987-4357 and theyll be happy to help you with a price quote and possible repair.
hope this helps clear some stuff up, have a great day guys!

repairing the note 2 screen
i generally do it for about 80-125. the 80 is only the glass but the loca glue needs to be replaced with the glass in order to get the touch functionality to work properly. i aso have a video how to repair the note 2 and note 3 glass on youtube. i do the glass and glue for 125 on note and 150 for note 3. hope this helps. youtube "samsung galaxy note 3 glass only replacement & LOCA bonding " to see the video how to repair the glass

Cracked Screen.

Hello all,
A few hours back i cracked my note 2's screen as i fell from the stairs.
Can someone tell me the exact price in INR for its replacement? The touch works fine. Thanks :'(
I need to get it done tomorrow.

From what ive researched and I havent done alot... its about £130 for the glass + digitzer...
You cant just replace the glass as the digitzer is glued to the screen.
My advice... claim insurance if you have it covered

Well, I got mine replaced at a Samsung Service Center in Bangalore, India a fortnight ago. Samsung charged me 6,850 INR (around 115 USD) for it. One thing to remember is that they replace the glass and the digitizer as well.
Call up a service center nearest to you, and check with them if they have the digitizer+glass with them. I was lucky as the one they used on my phone was the last one in their inventory, and they fixed it in 2 hours. If they don't, it takes a day or two for them to get the screen (digitizer and the glass) from Samsung.
I had cracked my old HTC Incredible S's screen too. But Note II's screen seems a lot more fragile than the HTC's, and I never bothered about fixing it myself: it is a difficult thing to get these parts in India, and to get genuine parts in good condtion (the courier/shipping folks are very adept at breaking even an mp3 player's screen!) is almost next to impossible.
Good luck!

Glad you did from Service center ,
It Cos-ted 6,400 for replacing the Glass and Digitizer where in the service center don't have the option to replace only glass they denied to change only glass as only glass was cracked but functionality was perfect so had to change both from BANGALORE SERVICE CENTER.

The service center folks get the complete set (digitizer and the glass) from Samsung when they place an order for a screen. I guess it is Samsung's way of getting a little extra from its customers. And it was the same with HTC as well.

[Q] Is My Digitizer Broken or do I have main board issues?

I have an LS970 and I recently dropped it pretty hard onto a desk. The bottom quarter of the screen stopped working after the drop along with the capacitive touch buttons at the bottom. I was able to deal with this but today when I sat on the couch my phone fell again and a crack went down the middle of the digitizer. Now only some areas work and I am not able to unlock it. Before I buy a new digitizer and lcd I want to know if it could have also been main board issues that made the bottom part of the screen not work since no cracks appeared after dropping it on a desk. Thanks

I am about 99% sure its ya digitizer/LCD ... The main bored is tucked well in the middle of the phone ....I have pictures up on the sim card mod thread if u wanna c ...

Alright thanks. I'll go ahead and order a new lcd/digitizer tonight. I hate how they're combined as my lcd is fine but I'd rather fix it than buy another phone.
Thanks again.

It's the digitizer. I have a wonderful wife whom I love very much who has broken her screen three times. Each time that the screen broke, the digitizer went with it. It has to do with the fact that there is essentially no separation between the two on our phones, so drops that damage the screen almost always damage the digitizer.

I just picked up a broken LG Optimus G off craigslist and toward the bottom of the screen it has a hairline crack. Also the capacitive buttons do not work either....my problem sounds exactly like the OP.
Can anyone suggest a good place to buy a cheap digitizer/glass/ LCD?? I'm lookin on ebay and they seem to be about $80
Thanks,
Kevin

I've been looking around ebay too and they're all about 80 for the cheapest. I checked out a few phone repair websites and prices are much higher there. If you find anything cheaper let me know. I plan on buying it soon.
EDIT: The best I found on ebay was 78 was from the US and 69 from China. I know they are all from china but it's just a shipping time thing.

Based on the dialogue I had when my wife's screen broke not only with the insurance carrier but also a repair shop, replacing the screen or digitizer on this phone is always going to be very expensive because both parts almost always have to be replaced together. $80 sounds very inexpensive to me based on those conversations.

parts for galaxy s3 L710 and how to replace them

as many of you may know the glass on the galaxy s3 l710 not sure about the other models is not drop proof I think its just a scratch resistance glass not drop resistance glass I've seen many of post and youtube videos where folks have dropped there phone including me. and get crazy quotes to replace it. so I went digging for other options. first a little over view on the hardware of the phone there is the glass, touch screen digitizer,middle chassis, components that sit on the back of the middle chassis including mother board etc. and then the back cover.
the below youtube video shows how to take phone apart, its not hard just make sure u have the right tools. (very fine phillips head screw drivers etc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHELvmoX0NY
this video explains why its wiser to go with the replacement touch screen digitizer assembly replacement vs glass replacement if done wrong you can brake the digitizer so best bet go with the digitizer assembly replacement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkQZHU-SRC8
now here is what I call the exciting part, I have been hearing crazy prices for the touch screen digitizer between 300 and 500 dollars which is funny to me because the phone does not cost that much so the link below is to a website that sells parts for the phone at a very low prices.
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/...30&groupsort=1
I see as low as 112 bucks. I ordered from the alieexpress before some of them ship the tools you need to disassemble the phone. I well be ordering my touch screen digitizer screen for the l710 in a week or two I'll keep you posted on the switch out. I cant wait to get it done I know a couple of phone part venders in the mall who swear you need to go the route with the heat gone etc and they can do it for me for 300 dollars yea right lol

Do you know of a place to get parts for the E4GT? I have a perfectly functional E4GT but it has a broken digitizer. The outer glass itself doesn't even have a scratch

but your post made me do a random google search for samsung galaxy s3 touch screen digitizer and I
am seeing even lower prices on other websites. and the sellers have good ratings. Interesting.

That site is also from Hong Kong and it goes by alibaba.com I've order from here before everything came as is yes it's a bit higher but it's oem
