Change hard casing...

Hi all
my elfin fell from quite a high place, and the four casings into which the small screws visible when you take off the back cover are broken...meaning the front casing is loose too.
do you know where I can find a front cover (I don't really need the back but I'm okay with buying both)... but before that I was thinking maybe someone could have bricked their elf or had an unusable device but with a front cover that's ok...
thanks in advance for your help !

Plenty of covers in a selection of colors on eBay, I suggest you try to find one there. Not that expensive and you can buy a digitizer to match the color.

hi
thnx for your answer . what's a digitizer?

Digitizer is the outer screen cover attached to the faceplate that is responsible for touch function, the one you use your finger or stylus on. It's sold separately and is fairly easy to replace in cases when the touch function is lost or the digitizer is broken. You can get one to match the color of the housing for a complete look. Just look on eBay and you'll see what I mean.

oh... does that mean that the part responsible for touch function is actually stuck to the front casing and not to the screen itself? I hadn't thought about that... meaning I cannot jut change the front cover, I would have to replace this as well...
[edit] is it possible to use the one from my phone? cause it's working fine after all... I'm looking at it and I don't really know how to take it off...

The digitizer is attached to the housing and in your case needs to be pried off before being used again and re-attached to the new housing. The digitizers are fairly cheap (the reason I don't bother with screen protector), so you will get unscratched and new one that you will have to attach to the new housing. My recommendation would be to buy a new housing and a matching digitizer.

Hi
thnx again for your help. I have one more question. Is the digitizer stuck to the screen or is it the actual hard plastic screen?
I find it's actually fairly expensive. When you add up the housing + the digitizer + the shipping costs it adds up to quite a lot..
[edit] Ok I think I finally got it now.
what do you think of this product ?

N7000 Replenishment Screen

Hello guys,
10 minutes ago my galaxy note N7000 screen cracked in my pocket.
So I need to buy a replenishment screen from Samsung but I simply can't find stores that supplies replenishment parts for it. Do anyone knows where to buy a new Amoled LCD screen for galaxy note ?
Thank you and best regards,
Amid

ebay, took 5 days to ship from HK to NYC. Follow youtube guide in opening the note and use blow dryer/heat gun to loosen the sceen, wedge open with something sharp and slowly tear back the screen gently. You will need the old Wacom sensor from the broken screen so becareful to not to rip it. There is guide in the general section. I broke mine 2 weeks ago and replaced it in a hour. take your time you can get it done.

Thanks man. Just to be sure, the price is about US$ 230,00 for it ? i am not sure if I am looking for the right spare part.

I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-Black-Dig...087?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c65951cd7

I can try but I don´t think this will help the problem. The screen doesn´t show any images anymore, looks like a broken LCD. When you press it, a lot colors appears around it. Do you believe this is the one I need ?
Thank you and best regards

Hmmm no, in that case you will need the 200ish one.

You will need the entire setup, glass, LCD, and Touch. Does not come with Wacom sensor. Looking around you can get them for 230-260. Look for delivery, that makes a huge difference, especially with your phone out of commission.
This is the guy I purchased mine from, but I panic and purchase the first one I saw. If you do some research you will find cheaper, but I got min in 5 days. So I am glad this guy came thru. Good luck, its going to stress you out a bit when you have to remove the screen from the front panel, they are glued on so take your time. Looks like your LCD broke so it is going to crack and shatter further so make sure you do it in area where it is easy to clean. If you look at the front panel after you remove it, you will see one wire that does not come with the replacement one, that is for the wacom sensor, so be careful and don't damage that part, you will need to peel it off and place it back on to the replacement lcd, otherwise your s-pen won't work. It's been 2 weeks, my phone is going strong and no sensor or sceen issues. You should get a more protective case, since you probably already blew close to ~$1000 on this phone by now. I have a casemate, otterbox commuter looks like a good one. Once again good luck, you can do this.

Please stop advising people to do something that is not meant to be done and can possibly damage their phone even more. And most likely look completely rubbish when assembled.
The correct repair part is a complete display assembly including everything - the glass, digitizer, Wacom digitizer, AMOLED, bezel, frame abd home button. It costs around 260 dollars on eBay and is relatively simple to install. By installing the complete assembly you don't need to worry about separating the glass and AMOLED or about the Wacom digitizer, since they are all included. Just remove the screws, back housing and motherboard, disassemble the audio flex cable and front camera flex from the old display and put them into the new one. Most displays also require the old charger port flex and speaker module to be used.

The correct part looks like this, for example: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320843198847

Well mine looks brand new, must be the workmanship ;-P But why flame my advise when he is going to need to do it anyways, the screen is completely useless, as was mine. Why don't you keep your assumption to yourself in how it will look or if he is going to ruin the device. If he decides that he would rather live with a crack screen or someone who is willing to do it, there really isn't much options here. What's up with such negative attitude here. Just trying to show him that it can be done.

Replacement screen with 2 connectors
Hello!
First of all I would like to say Thank you for all the resources provided in this forums!
Could someone please help me to find a replacement screen for the International version of the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 2 connectors? This phone has the physical home button. All the replacements that I've been able to find have just the first connector. I tried to post a photo hoping to help better explain it, but I can't do it yet.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hello, I have got repaired my GN in Samsung service (Slovakia) for 165 €. I have had the same problem. I think, that should be the best way.

Thank you s.magus! I would love to go that route, but I'm in Venezuela, and Samsung is selling the GN, but does not yet have replacement parts. You're right, that will be the best way.

Hi ,
I think Senior member Justis is right... many of us dont want to do a full screen replacement for 220$...when we can just remove the front screen for 20$..many have done this method successfully... U just need to watch a lot of youtube videos on this and be careful/delicate with the procedure... its possible.
So i dont think what he said was a waste.. Pls keep such remarks to yourself.. He was not wasting anyones time.
Infact you are wasting my time making me read your message and give u a reply.
You know what...im doing a screen replacement too... thats what guys do first. njot jump in and do a full replacement for 220 $.:good::good::good:

Need SOLUTION: Please Help Lcd FIX

Hello, so here is my problem:
I have cracked my cornin gorilla glass , which i droped from from less then 1meter... such a nonsence since my last phone galaxy s was droped a dozen times and not a single crack, but that is not the point.
So now i have cracked glass, but digitizer touch, and lcd works fine, i have ordered a replacement glass. Only one thing bothers me, now in those places where crack had appeared there are yellow dots , not very bright and in other collors like black red you cant see them, only in white blue and yellow.
I know that these dots came from a presure, so my question is will they disapear if i will remove the cracked screen as it can keep the presure on them, and should i do it urgent or i can wait for my replacement and then remove it ? becouse basicaly i need the phone to use it, but if in case it will damage my phone to the stage when those dots will not disapear i will not risk it.
What suggestion can you tell me ?
Kind regards

You'll be lucky to separate the glass from the LCD, I'm afraid.

Ok, I'll try again. Removing the cracked glass is likely to destroy your LCD.

well the question was about the yellow dots, how to remove the glass i watched on youtube and it is easy, just need to give some heat to make glue more flexible and it will easily pop off.

You can't replace the front glass alone without destroying the LCD. Yellow spots will be the least of your worries believe me. Do let us know how you get on.

well i will get my glass in 2 weeks, so will write you of my progress later, but i would like to know will those spots dissapear if everything will go well, or should i order a new lcd... the dots are not so big but still.

About a year ago I dropped my Dell streak from around 30cm. Because of the way it landed this cracked the gorilla glass.
So I ordered just the glass part, as like yourself the rest worked fine.
I stripped it down and took the screen out then set about separating the glass from the screen. I also did as you have and watched various YouTube vids to assist this.
Let me tell you, from my experience it was 2 hours down the pan. I did get the glass off, after much pulling, tugging, wiggling, heating and cooling. Only to find in the process that the actual screen underneath had ended up only fit for the bin. So I had to order the full assembly instead, this was fitted no problem.
Just my opinion though, if you want to tackle it go ahead, its your phone.
As for the yellow dots, can't help you on that I'm afraid.

Hi, i've changed my screen 2 months ago, and i can tell you that is better that you buy the screen with the digitalizer and the frame. All the kit, then search some video on youtube about disassembly and in 1 hour you will have your phone running again, it's easier than seems, you'll sure for that.

You can try to change just the digitalizer, but is riskie, so i you broke the screen, then you can order the entire kit, so, don't worry!

Yep ok so yes the best way is to replace both digitizer and lcd at the same time, after applying a small amount of pressure to stick the 2 together i put a small crack into the lcd (ggggrrrrrr) ( literally the smallest amount of pressure) so that was really good advice there.
I will be purchasing a new lcd as i do enjoy this phone..
many thanks for the offer of buying it. yes the micro usb works fine, if it appears that i am unable to fix it i will be more than happy to sell it......
Bottom Line Replace both Digitizer and lcd and even housing if poss at the same time....
thanks for your advice and suggestions.

Pixel 2 XL screen repair (HELP!)

Hi all. I've had un unfortunate phone drop last night, resulting in the glass of the screen broken in the lower left corner. The screen is displaying perfect and so the digitizer. I've seen some sellers on amazon selling the glass only with no digitizer nor display. Can anyone let me know if this can be changed (glass of the screen only), and if so, any tutorials or videos to do so?
I really dont want to spend more than $100 on a new screen...
I hope someone helps! Thanks!!! Cheers.

I dropped my Pixel 2 XL in November, also only the glass was broken.
But I paid €180 for the glass plus screen, because the screen is razor-thin and glued to the glass. As far as I know, the glass isn't sold separately, at least not as original from Google.
And believe me, the glass is very thin, but the screen is even thinner. So before buying a third-party-glass, I would check how to get the screen off the glass and back again.

I've been looking for some videos about this, and it looks really complicated to separate the glass from the screen, but possible. Some guys apply extreme cold or heat to unglue the screen, then they clean up ALL the screen, and then they reapply something to stick it to the new glass (I don't know what they use). So balancing the hard work to do this, I'm starting to think it will be a better option to change the whole screen. Do anyone knows if new purchased genuine screens comes with the blue problem solved? Any good place to purchase a genuine one within USA?
Thanks for the answers and help...
