Hi Everyone,
First of all I would like to say that I am new to this Forum, So please excuse me If this happens to be in the wrong section. I happend to purchase my Samsung Galaxy S3 (I747 ROGERS) Just a week ago and noticed an issue with the identification of my Simcard. It keeps reading "NO SIM" After further examination it turn out two of the "Sim Reader Pins" are damaged inside the device.
I decided to purchase the part from eBay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200850522564...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3018wt_1378
& Decided to complete this Repair Myself by following this Youtube Guide:
START THE VIDEO AT 4:00 <------

(However) As you may have noticed this repair is for the (I9300) Version.
My Two Questions/Concerns are simple, Does the I9300 Resemble the same steps taken on a I747 Model?
& Secondly has any other forum member tried this Repair? As it does seem really simple.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!:laugh:
I had the same exact problem and followed the same video you posted. The only thing different is, I didn't unscrew the 2 top screws. replacing the sim card/microsd slot was a breeze. tools needed: screw driver and plastic knife
Good Luck

Hi, I own an unlocked GSM touch pro 2, it's physical appearance is nowhere near new, I was interested in getting a new phone until I found this website and discovered custom roms, I now love this phone and wish to keep it. But the main point of this thread is that I found new housing for my device, but have no knowledge in switching the housing myself. Does anyone know the difficulty of this, or a service where I can send my phone in with the replacement housing for them to do it for me?

Hi Guys,
I have been lurking around these forums for a while now and finally decided to post.
I need some help with an issue with my wife's unrooted GSM Nexus. She happened to drop her phone cracking the front glass but thankfully still functional otherwise, so i decided to replace only the glass myself using one of the youtube guides out there.
I was able to successfully replace the glass but since then the phone has gone into a bootloop at the Nexus Logo. I even tried re-installing the motherboard but no luck. Not sure what i did wrong as i did not tamper with the other components in anyway (i did not initially dismantle the mobo parts to replace the glass as the glass was accessible after removing the back cover).
I am getting nowhere with my research on this so i ask you guys for help. First priority is to get my stuff backed up off the phone (dumb of me not to do it in the first place i know) and Secondly to see if i can get it running again.
I am otherwise a complete noob when it comes to messing with the software part of it so please forgive me if i dont follow
Thanks

Succesfull?
Hi there,
have you done your repair of the earpiece module and have been succesfull?
The earpiece of my Galaxy W crashed last week and I'm thinking about repairing it by myself. Can you perhaps report your experience?
I've just got the following tutorial video for opening the device:

Thanks a lot!

First, I swear I've searched high and low for this answer. I've been to the xda threads with guides to disassembly and reassembly and followed the links to OEM part retailers and come up with zilch.
So, I have a bricked GT-N7105 with suspected sudden death syndrome. It acted screwy for a few days with random reboots etc and then, one day, I took it out of my pocket and it was dead. No boot, no charge, no lights, no nothing. I sent it to Samsung who (classic) are claiming liquid damage and want to charge me $588 Australian to fix it. I am unprepared to pay this. I know that the chip should be covered by extended warranty but this is voided by the supposed liquid damage. I will fight them on it but am not optimistic about the outcome.
So, assuming that I'm not giving my money to Samsung or the company that they outsource their repairs to, can anyone point me towards a link for a store selling replacement motherboards for the N7105?
Furthermore, I haven't managed to find specific information on the motherboard model number for the N7105: is it the same as the N7100 or any of the other Note II variants? Anything that can widen my search criteria will be helpful.
Thanks all. Love your work.:good:
Anyone?

try ebay?
If your phone has suffered SDS,then only emmc is damaged,not the whole motherboard.You can get it(emmc) replaced from a third party repair shop.
Gud luck.
1st of all, a motherboard is about 200-250$, and you can repair it at a normal smartphone repair shop, screw samsung.
request photos of the "liquid damage"
i'd take this to the court.
When i destroyed the partitions on my old galaxy player 5.0, they said it was corrosion from some sticky liquid lol, and they eventually gave me a replacement (probably because i figured out they were lying)
+1,Its the same old story they tell to everyone...here in india too .So if you are sure that its not damaged by liquid,just stick to your point and be stern in your approach while dealing with these so called 'technicians'...
Gud luck.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
Wow. Thanks all! That's all really useful information. I now have it back so I think I'm going to try replaceing the emmc. Will update the thread then.

there you go http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung/galaxy-models/samsung-note-ii-lte-n7105.html?limit=all
N7105 is totally different to the N7100 internally so the mainboard will not physically fit onto the chassis if you put the wrong one in ..as the chassis behind the screen which carries the mainboard is totally different ... so get the the correct one if you are going to change the mainboard

Thanks for that, mate. This comes up on google. They have no motherboards!
DId you manage to find a replacement motherboard @acesofdaves?
Hey guys,
Just signed up to ask a few questions, a very good friend of mine had her phone (T-mobile Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-T989) run over the other day. Needless to say she is not very tech savvy. She has a new S4 now. Now the problem is, that being she is not so tech savvy she didn't back up (ever?) So i am looking to somehow recover lost pictures and contacts if possible.
Now I have a small background in building computers and taking stuff apart so I agreed to take a look at the phone. The screen is shot. but besides that the other internals look fine. Nothing is broken as far as i can tell. When I plug the phone in with the battery nothing comes up at all, except when i leave it plugged in for a little bit the LED under the camera will flash about once every minute or so.
So i guess the question i have is did the motherboard somehow short circuit when it was run over? Has anyone had experience with a situation similar to this before?
And is there a way to get the phone on long enough to recover the lost info?
Help would be much appreciated if possible.
Justin
As phones don't have an actual hard drive, I doubt you can recover anything from a phone that isn't running.
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
This is not easy, but can be done. I have done similar recoveries several times…
You’ll need:
1) The equipment & ability to remove a surface mount soldered chip, and re-solder it onto another board *without* damaging it.
2) Another identical phone to host the transplanted chip.
3) A service manual, or someone with intimate knowledge of the device, to identify the correct chip…
Note that if the pix were encrypted this will not work…
