[Q] Broke lcd! - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

I just bought my pro 8.4 less than 2 weeks ago and some how I broke the lcd.. The screen looks perfect till its turn on.. Then u see cracks and the screen all messed up. Now what do I do? Can I get parts. Where and how much or is there a place that does it reasonably priced? I can't even find YouTube videos on replacing the lcd on the pro 8.4. Please any suggestions would be really appreciated.. I loved the tablet and want it saved!

This doesn't answer your question, but did you by any chance purchase with a credit card? I've noticed many have accident/theft coverage for up to 120 days after purchase. If not, you can call Samsung to find out options. Google took me here http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung/tablet/samsung-galaxy-tab-pro-8-4-sm-t320-replacement-parts.html then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710711 post 8 says it's same teardown as for galaxy 4 10.1 2014.

Snap the backcover off and go to town. It'll be a blast. These days everything you need to take off to get to the screen is just plugs that snap right off their port.

That's what I found too. The digitizer isn't broke, the actual LCD is. I'll have to call Samsung to see my options. I think i'm ass-out for a while cuz i really wouldn't think the lcd is available yet and if it is its gonna be almost as much as the tablet! Sux! At least i have my Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 .. gt-n8013 with now kk with air command on it. The screen on the 8.4 pro was a billion times sharper and it was way faster and i love the leather back! Thans for your help.. Anything else comes up that can help just please let me know.
Thanks again guys!

Now on your ebay link it looks like the lcd and screen digitizer are sold together .. I did know that they sold em together. If that's the case, that's a much easier fix cuz removing the screen/digitizer from the lcd assembly looks like a pain in the assz! Thanks for your help! If anything else that comes up that will help me out, let me know
Thanks again guys!
Oh, off topic question, how many posts do i have to make to be able to post in development sections of the forums, i usually have alot to offer in the development sections but don't have the privileges to post there. What do i have to do to make it possible for me to help in these sections, i have alot to offer!

I'm pretty sure they are glued together on the assembly in your tablet too. In order to separate them you'd need a heat gun and a lot of patience. But it's doable. You'd be able to clean the adhesive off the screen gently afterwards. But yes, to save room the manufacturers these days glue the two parts together, hence why they are also sold as glued together. But I've seen people separate them with a heat gun before. And yes, it is a mess, no matter what. Buying the full assembly would be much more fun and also faster.

Aria Screen/ Digitizer

It's a new record for me... I had my new Aria/Liberty/Intruder all set up and inside of three days dropped and T-boned the screen
Anyone have ideas on where to find parts for a Aria? I understand HTC is notoriously slow about releasing aftermarket parts. The repair guy I took my phone to encouraged me to help him find the part.
Many thanks-

I used to order all my blackberry parts from here. Very good reveiws. There across the seas but shipping is usually quick and even faster if you bump it up.http://cnn.cn/shop/htc-aria-c-277_1068.html
Thanks Kudvu002! You saved the day!
I found one on ebay, but the shipping's not as quick.
Have you tried taking it apart yet? I'm trying to get a little insight on the disassembly. It seems like you can pop off the top yellow cover but I wasn't able to get it off and didn't want to force it.
anyone knows where to buy the digitizer for the Aria? cnn.cn shows the digitizer in stock,, but when you go to checkout it says it is not....
Ordered mine about a week ago but it says it was shipped, now I just gotta get it apart!

digitizer replaced
So I followed the tutorial found on android forums, it was relatively easy, i forgot to take pictures of the steps but i can write a tutorial if anyone wants it, because the tutorial on A.F. is a little vague. But I have found a solution to the cracked screen problem, I went to Best Buy to see if they had the Zagg shield (which they do, it's for the Intruder/Aria/Liberty) but they also had a new case which looks a little more resilient against dropping. The case is made by Superior Communications (BB item number 35307BBR) and is pretty rugged looking, anyways let me know if you want a tutorial written up, i will try to get some pics to do it with.
so I'm about to replace mine.. any tutorial with pics available?
for those of you that have ordered and recieved their replacement digitizers, are they AT&T branded still?

Yes they are.. and they are not original part... there are some differences... and after the installation you will have the light that turns on the -home- menu-back-search buttons to filter into the screen. I finished up adding the insurance and getting a brand new for $50.00 and sold the old one for 200

I can have a tutorial up by tomorrow, unfortunately with pics of the full install but close enough to get you there. The screen I bought was an HTC oem screen and ATT branded, there aren't any that aren't branded so far. Lemme get the tutorial together and ill post it tomorrow.

I've seen this phone shown off a few times withut the AT&T branding and with just the HTC logo at the top/middle and would prefer that digitizer.
(and no I wasn't mistaking the HD Mini for the Aria lol) Wonder how long before those are available. Probably will have to wait until another carrier gets the phone IF anyone else decides to even pick it up.
The button light issue is quite a drag tho. Sucks. You could try to add some sort of tiny strip above the capacitive buttons area to shield the light from leaking into the viewable screen area.
here is a good video showing a Disassembly of the phone, it might help.

doing this now...it is a HUGE pain in the ass
ok, to anyone who tries this BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU PULL THE RIBBON OUT
I pulled too hard and like an asshole I broke the "plug" piece off of the ribbon and it's stuck in the "socket"
looks like it's time to try and scam AT&T again

Lcd/Digitizer repair question

Has anyone replaced this on their note 2? I'm looking to purchase the combo so I don't have to separate the glass from the digitizer and introduce any dust under the screen...I've watched the videos but would like to hear from anyone who has done it . Are there any tips I need or certain things to look for? It seems pretty easy but these guys have probably done it a few times..Does the housing go back together pretty solid?
Thanks.

Quotes from my roommate and things I know on the subject: Should you try to replace the digitizer only (from experience working with the SIII and other AMOLED devices.) Your biggest problem isn't going to be dust, but accidentally damaging the AMOLED. If you have worked with AMOLEDs before or know anything about them, they are extremely thin and therefore quite fragile. My advice is to just replace the assembly. There is a film that goes on the back of the AMOLED. Roommate says he doesn't know what the film does, he thinks it may have something to do with the stylus. It does have a header that attaches to the main board, so be careful. Just know, unless you are in a clean room (and I'm talking professional setting, like you would see in manufacturing) you are going to end up with dust if you decide to replace only the digitizer. Good luck.
I have complete white screens for $190 shipped.
Much easier than just replacing the digi.

i bought the full front assembly w/another spen on ebay for $150 so all i have to do is swap out the front and not have to pry the glass apart from the lcd..It cost more but well worth the piece of mind knowing that all i have to swap is the board and camera..I watched videos of digitizer swaps and i'm not about to even attempt that..

Do the SPRINT digitizers work for VERIZON (N7100) ? If so, I may be interested in purchasing.
I know the stock phones have a Wacom digitizer/ screen made especially for the s-pen. Will these replacement screens work just as good as stock? The whole point of the Note 2 as opposed to other touch screen phones is to have that flawless stylus experience.

Any screen i sell is always a genuine part. They are mostly harvested from donor phones that have had other issues besides screen problems ie charging port problems or bricked devices.

[Q] S-Pen can't write some part of the screen after using a samsung magnetic case :(

Dear all,
I'm using s-pen and n5100 for around 3 months and then buy samsung case (magnetic flip cover, pink) for just 10 day ago.
I noticed that when I'm using s-note, I can't use my s-pen to select pointer option anymore (used to be normal) but my finger do it just fine.
Then I googling around for "s-pen problem" and found that there is an issue with all sort of magnetic, but it will back to normal when put the magnet away.
But in my case, it's not. the top part of the screen can't be use by s-pen amymore :crying::crying:
Is there a way to recover this? I'm on a German stock rom post by geek78.
Thanks
Here the image from Sketchbook for testing s-pen

** update **
got mine back after 16 days!!
they said the mainboard were replaced to solve this issue.
there is plenty of discussion about this all over the internet..search and you will learn...
Take your tablet out of the case and turn it off for awhile. Turn it back on and see if you still have a problem. If not, don't use cases with magnets anymore. If you do still have a problem call Samsung and have then fix it under warranty. Then stop using cases with magnets!

Thanks everyone.
I throw my case away for 3 days and it didn't back to normal state (that what I learn from googling so far, just put it out of the case and it'll be fine)
I'm now backing up and flashed the stock back in already, will go to samsung today.
I'll be update the situation when I met up with samsung official, and will post the tested pictures when I can.
maybe 10 days long apart from my beloved note :crying:

This is very disturbing. Just a couple of days ago, I decided I couldn't handle the inconvenience of the Stand Pouch anymore and took the plunge on an official Samsung Book Cover. I absolutely love it. My Note 8.0 now feels complete.
I was very anti magnetic covers, but as a few people have posted reviews on the book cover, and it's been some time with no complaints (till now)... I thought I was just being overly paranoid.
I've tested the spen digitizer thoroughly in sketchbook every day since getting this cover, and haven't noticed any problems yet.
Please let us know what Samsung have to say. Did you mention the book cover to them?
Also, I just assume it's the Official Book Cover for Galaxy Note 8.0 that you're using right?

Just tried scribbling in all the edges and corners in a new blank drawing file. Didn't notice any issues or lack of response. So I think it's fine. I only used the other case for a few weeks as it was only £5 and a stop gap while what I would use long term. The issue I started to notice a little was only at the extreme edge where the magnets that held the cover closed were located

As this is patient 0, I'm still holding out that the digitizer failure and Samsung case are unrelated. Circumstantial evidence...

Yes, my case is official Samsung case (a pink one with a white note)
Yesterday I met with Samsung rep.
After they testing with thier utility (dial *#0*#) and choose Wacom test. It shown that the top of my screen has some damage so they have to replace some part and I need to wait
I also have a senior in my office have note 8.0 with the same Samsung case (Brown note with black case), which is still fully functional. If his note last more that a month with Samsung case, maybe it's just my note that have a defected part.
Will update again when I got mine back (hopefully monday!)

To clarify my experience. I was using a very cheap case, not the official samsung one. I'm sure the samsung magnets are weaker and sheilded to minimise abverse effects. This is an assumption on my part though having not used one.
dear hertsjoatmon,
After glide to your link (another topic there) I think that the Wacom's layer is damaged (that's why only s-pen is unwritable), I'll look at part no. in the receipt and will update here.

Go search through the note 2 forums. All that the note 8.0 is, is a big note 2 with no radios 5110 at least. But believeth what you might choose, magnets plus electronics equals fail watson.

A-ha! That must be the reason why HDDs in my PC fail every few+ years - thank you Sherlock.
But seriously - custom cases are another story - but I cannot imagine nobody in Samsung would remember to check what is the long-term impact of their own case magnets on screen digitizer. At least for two reasons:
2. warranty replacements generate losses
1. they are not idiots
Its possible that it was just a defect in the tablet. I have seen plenty of videos of the nexus 7 touch screen becoming non responsive.
I read one guy went through 5 on warranty until finally figuring out it's the book cases magnets that was the issue.
I sure won't be risking magnets.
Picked up a Noreve leather snap case. There are lots of options out there.

[Q] Advice on broken LCD P600

Hi guys,
I'm very new to the forums. I have been using various tablets for the last few years now, but my favourite is the Samsung Galaxy Notes, I have had the 8.0(G5110), the n8013, and now the P600. I love love love the way the S-Pen works.
Anyway, I bought the P600 on ebay, with broken glass. I had bought the n8013 on ebay with broken glass as well, and it was easy to replace. No big deal. I assumed the P600 would be the same, but boy, was I WRONG!! I couldn't find any breakdown or repair videos for the P600 on youtube, for the screen. I thought I was too cool and could figure it out, so I went about taking it apart. I think that some of the seasoned people here will know what happened next right? I broke the LCD screen inside, because the damn thing was fused/glued to the digitizer. FML!!! Anyway, I learned from that mistake. Now, I'm having trouble finding a replacement LCD assembly for it, for a sensible price. Does anyone know where the absolute cheapest replacement LCD for the P600 can be found? Is it ebay?
Another important thing, can the LCD from the n8013 be used in the P600? I tried the charging connector out of the P600 in the N8013, because there is a problem with the charging port of the n8013, and when I put the end of the charging connector from the p600 in the n8013, without ever being plugged into actual electricity, the cable got hot, the actual ribbon charging one, not the outlet charger. I'm assuming it might be a different voltage, different conduction or something. I'm making stuff up to sound smart now. LOL.
Anyway, any advice at all on this, or where I should look, please let me know. I have searched a few times for tips and ideas on how to fix things, and this forum has shown up more than a dozen times during my various searches, so I figured I would finally join and post.
Also, even though I did some stupid things with these tablets, I am a fairly intelligent person. I just learn more from mistakes than I do from never making a mistake...lol
find it on Ebay. The one made from China is about 175$ but I don't trust this. I found this one for you, 207$ seems to be the cheapest.

because the screen made in China (clone) and I don't know if it has the same specs as the original screen. You would want to buy a used screen instead.

I don't mind buying used, if it works. I'm hoping to keep it around $175 or so, as that's about as far as I can stretch my budget at the moment. If I can't get one for that, I will have to wait for a little while. I was hoping I didn't have to. Do you know if the lcd from the n8013 would be compatible? Thanks again for your help!

at the moment, no.
the cover plastic said don't put anything on the screen,
the warning during setup said don't put anything on the screen,
the website care instructions say don't put anything on the screen,
yet there i was standing at a samsung experience store being asked if i wanted to buy a protective screen cover for the front, main, and back of the phone. i was confused to all hell.
after a bunch of back and forth, the workers at the store said that the warnings "mean to say" dont use an adhesive screen protector. the one they sell is applied with a spray solution.
my last question to them was "will it void my warranty?", and unfortunately, their answer was "no, it SHOULDN'T void your warranty".
once i heard that type of careful wording, i knew they had no idea what they were talking about, even the manager ( since this purchase was expensive, they had a manager overseeing it).
as of right now, i am still quite careful of how hard i press the buttons and what conditions i bring out the phone in.
if i start to see scratches, i might consider the main screen proctector, but for now, i will keep it as is.
sorry for the long reply. lol
I put one on and have 0 regrets! Comes off really easy and I like the extra piece of mind!

Could you post oictures... I bought the Olixar one but I'm hesitant to put it on...
I have installed 2 different types and this one has been the easiest to install, I have removed 2 of them so far and no residue left behind by the screen protector.
See attached pics of my phone with the screen protector applied. (I did mess up a bit and left couple of small bubbles in there and top left was due to me placing a sticker to remove a dust particle)
This is the one that i bought

PS. The fingerprint and some of the marks you see are not visible to the naked eye, Camera enhances them a bit and makes it look worst than it actually is.
Olixar easy to install is clear smooth and easy to keep clean

Are you worried about the display getting ruined,? I know it says not to install one.

I removed one as I cocked it up when installing it... it's not over sticky so removes quite easily. So no I'm not too worried

i get protecting your screen and everything, but due to crap fitment and cutting, now the phone looks like the gen.1 galaxy fold.
can anyone chime in, who has tried a screen protector with edge to edge fitment?

I disagree in general use you can't even see the screen protector you have to look really close

at the moment, no.
( since this purchase was expensive, they had a manager overseeing it).

I have a note 10+ and a fold.. both have good qualities both have bad..
For some reason I put my sim card back in the note.. then switched back to the fold within 24 hours.. for me the fold is much better

the regular msrp. $1980 USD, or $2599 CDN, im in canada so this phone cost $2910 after taxes
i would hold off. if you've already spent that much money on other devices, theres no point being in such a rush.
the new year is here already. pay the remaining off or sell it somehow, have money ready for the new fold 2 (not the clam shell flip phone) if it comes out later this year.
good luck!
