Hi,
I bought a T-Mobile GNote II with a smashed outer glass. I've repaired digitizers before, but not ones glued to the screen. I bought the outer glass and tried to put it on. I literally broke every part of the lower screen, both the display and the digitizer. That was not one of my finest moments.
So now, of course, I'm looking to replace the screen. I would like to avoid paying $250 for the whole assembly or, at least, get a whole non-working phone with a working screen for that price (at this point, I'm prepared to not get everything I want... But it would be nice!)
The best bet, I think, for a non-working phone with a working screen is one with a bad ESN or IMEI, which seem to go for a stomachable price on eBay. The question is, do I have to look for a T-Mobile phone, or would a Sprint phone work just as well? Some listings for the screen assembly on eBay are for all models, which makes me think the flex cables, at least, must be shared.
I expect this phone is a little too new for anyone to have significant experience with this question. Perhaps I'll just have to try it (in the name of science!) but I'd rather not
On a related note, is there somewhere I can post this so it will be seen by all the GNote II variant's fourms? Is it acceptable for me to post it individually in every variant's fourm?
Thanks for any thoughts, including other possibilities for phones with a good screen / bad insides. If you have a phone that meets this description, feel free to PM me and we'll try to work something out.

Hey guys, I bought the Samsung Galaxy TabPro 8.4 LTE variant (SM-T325) and unfortunately, just after 2 weeks of use, my friend dropped it and cracked the screen and scratched the bezels. I live in the UK and I bought this tab online. I know dropping the tab is out of warranty and I have to pay for the damages but I have contacted Samsung which they referred me to some of their repair centres but with no hope as they couldn't replace/repair the damage because my tab is the LTE variant and it's not of European Region.
I'm pretty pissed that my beautiful TabPro 8.4 is cracked and I'd do anything to fix it.
I just want to ask you guys for advice on how I should fix my tab if official samsung repair centres here can't do it because they don't have the parts? Or is my best bet taking it to a repair centre in Asia (where it's most likely from)?
Thank you if anyone replies ;_;
Not good when you crack your screen
The only and best advice i can give you is check Ebay, look up LCD & Digitizer for Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 LTE, you should find it there. The best of luck Buddy..

I hate that it happened to u too but if all u did was crack the digitizer glass then consider yourself lucky because that part can be found all over the internet for as low as $40 (i'll link to a site below but as the user above said they are also on ebay...although for a higher price)...how about I also have the lte version BUT I broke the actual lcd display and somehow managed NOT to shatter the glass (weird but true). The crazy thing is I didn't even drop it...just picked it up and it was cracked/bleeding inside...not even sure if its something I did & not looking forward to arguing with Samsung about it either not to even mention the fact that's its actually a hong kong unit. The ironic part is I actually fix these things for a living but I cant find the screen anywhere online yet...if u decide to get rid of it for whatever reason then I would be willing to purchase the lcd from u (assuming u didn't break both screens) for a reasonable price & in order to help u make your money back. I could also part it out & put it on ebay for u...the motherboard alone should get a pretty penny

Thanks guys for replying, I totally appreciate it but yeah, my LCD itself isn't broken, just the glass so the touch screen digitizer is what I need. However, if I buy from eBay or from the given link, will the glass be of the same quality/made from the same thing? Cause the touch screen glass on the TabPro 8.4 feels so smooth and not cheap so I don't really wanna change that :/
And also, do you guys now if they sell the bezels? since they scratched too
Thanks again!
Wow.
Im sorry to read the situation the both of you are in, as for the first post i replied to i did mention the LCD & Digitizer, however doing the research on Ebay the Digitizer Cant be found, that really sucks, just makes me MUCH MORE aware of NOT dropping my device, they do feel really light a delicate, with that said I love watching movies on it in 1080p, the clarity is unbelievable. I'm loving this device, But on the other hand there isn't any development for it out, really sucks cause i was looking to switch it to the Google Addition of Android.. Or if a developer can cook up a Custom Rom from the S5 Operating System that would be SICKKK... That how i have my Note 3 running, exactly like the S5, its hottt... the best of Luck to you both, hope it works out. BLESS..!!

I actually replied to your thread about custom roms with something I was working on before the incident happened...its an extremely basic test build so its probably no where near what u want (no s5 setup) but if u want to test it out I posted the link in the other thread. I wish it was just my glass that was broken right now because it would already be fixed....I was able to find the digitizers on ebay althought there are only a few listings I'll post the lowest link below
EDIT: nevermind...probably should have checked my pm first. As far as the selinux function...if u go to "settings-general-about device" and scroll down to the very bottom u should see "se for android device" which will probably say "enforcing" although hopefully it will be set to "permissive" which would allow us to connect NTFS(WINDOWS) formatted hard drives to our device as well as other things

@Zakanam as for the quality of the part as far as I know most lcds are factory originals while most digitizers are usually aftermarket reproductions although I haven't EVER had an issue with any I've replaced as far as registering touches or smoothness. As I stated above device repair is part of what I do for a living although i'll admit I may have just been lucky...u will most likely have to wait until someone puts an 8.4 up for parts on ebay before u can find the bezels however I hope this helps

Does anyone know where I can buy the OEM backplate and possibly the cheap silver trim between the backplate and the screen?
I wrote a review on Amazon about what happened under the same name. Got nowhere with Samsung support, while looking for parts I found this post. Figured someone here may know.

In the same predicament. The lcd display on my 8.4 LTE T325 is broken, but the digitizer still recognizes touch. Finding a replacement screen is a pain, especially in the UK. Only quote I've managed to get is for £169, which is more than what I paid for it on ebay....decisions decisions...

Similar situation when I broke the screen on my Note 8. While glass was available at a reasonable price, the process to get it unglued from the digitizer looked too involved for me. The price for screen + digitizer was similar to the price of buying a new Note 8. So my solution . . . was to buy the Pro 8.4!

Lol. My solution was to buy the tab S 8.4 LTE. Still wondering whether it's worth fixing the tab pro or not
Hello, i broke my lcd a week after buying it and found only one place that has the digitizer and lcd as one unit. Its costly! $159.00 + $10.00 shipping from Singapore! here is the link
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-pro-8-4-t320-parts/
I did it on mine but proly could have found a new tablet for the cost! The repair was very easy.
Hi I have a similar problem but with a different tablet thr tab 4 7 inch which does not have gorilla glass so whatever glass is put in it does the tabpro have gorilla glass?
Anyway 2 days after buying it I sat on my tab 4 by accident while it was sitting in its box on my bed, the tablet just sunk to 1 side and collapsed in the box so I am hoping I didn't do any damage. Ive been so worried about it when I look at the screen and lcd thrre is no damage or cracks I can see is it possible the lcd at thr back of it cluld be cracked? Or is it pretty obvious if it is cracked?
Looking at youtube for vids I see cracked screens but if thr lcd is cracked even just a little bit will it show?
I put thr tablet back in thr box an d pushed down on it with my fingers to try to see how mufh pressure it takes to collapse in the box again..and I heard a crack sound im so stupid..I don't see any damage still and I think the crack sound was from the see through plastic sheet inside rhe box and the cardboard pressing dosn against it.
If I dont see any cracks or damage to thr lcd is it most likely ok? Im so paranoid now. Maybe I should return it just ij case and get a replacement seeing as I am in my 28 day returns period
Is it safe to assume if I can't see any cracks its unlikely to br damaged?
i may say had a bad luck when buying online via lazada.my , CANT claim warranty . still under warranty, not caused by dropping, its factory defect.. sent to singapore but not fixed, send to local seller and returned back. this is my timeline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DD4dz3VTUs
no choice i gotta put aside till have enough money by myself. looking at aliexpress and dhgate, price still beyond my budget
fyi, aliexpress and dhgate i had good purchase track record
please watch and spread this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DD4dz3VTUs
price complete set http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...2272498413.html?spm=2114.32010308.5.11.WBmYM2
might be mean but if your friend dropped it, he should be paying
this happened to me to, but about a month, and a half latter.
THE ONLY ADVICE I would give you is to go take it somewhere and get it fixed by a professional. If you follow that one YouTube Video, all your going to manage is cracking the Actual Display underneath the Glass. As it is these pieces are fused and, are essentially one unit. While it might be possible to just replace the Glass. It's doubtfull that finding the right fixer (i.e. Glue) would-be that simple. It also (to me) seems like the Tab Pro also has a thin polarising film between the Glass and the LCD display. Which was too easily damaged with the String technique. Not so much a problem if you have an extra 50.00€ for a pack of 25 Strips @ 8.4"
About your best option is to locate the next Samsung Depot (for myself that would be in the Netherlands), and they want ca. ~120.00€ (Before Tax!), for a replacement unit. (i.e. the Touchscreen + LCD + Frame. e.g. more like 169~€ by the time you work out shipping & tax.
Having a thought about it... It was just cheaper in the end to by a totally new neused Device. Which then set me back a 175.00€.
but those Displays from Fleebay, are as I gather chepo counterfeit Chinese Displays which are not as good as the original ones. Be that as it may... I'd have yet to find one that came with the Frame (i.e. with the Home Button.), cause for ~115€ they sure don't, and again you'd have to figure out how to reglue that bit without destroying the new Display.

My guess is your supposed to recycle the Backplate from the Original Screen. I guess getting it off the old one may be one thing. But how you'd go about regluing it back to the new Screen is to me questionable.
The 'Silver' bit is the rear cover. So One would think you already had that bit. in fact it's between this and the Glass Panel where you need to take a thin but very stiff like a Driver's License. To pry open the Device.
Again the best way to go is either though Samsung Direct, or one of its other partners.
It would also be helpful to know the Part Nr. Which are:
GH97-15740A (White)
GH97-1574B (Black)
Needless to say at those prices... You may well be better off buying a whole new Device.
I have an excellent condition digitizer but the glass is cracked. If wants to buy it they will have to remove the glass. Its from a T705
I too have a replacementWhite Digitizer Screen (White), still in the Envelope it came in with. Which I bought in a panic, after having also dropped my first T325. T_T.
Unless your very skilled, or know someone who is, at removing said Damaged Digitizer. I would forget this exercise. As you will at the least of it damage the Polarising Filter (Between the Digitizer, and the LCD Display), and at worst actually damage the LCD Display.
Having replaced a few Chinese Devices with their cheap plastic Digitizers is nothing like the way Samsung have done it. Unfortunately both the Digitizer, and the LCD have been fused together, as One unit. Again with a sandwiched Polarising Filter in the Middle.
There have been some Videos of People fixing the T320 that way, but the T320 doesn't have a Speaker Grill on it either. When I tried it on m, first One, the Dental Floss kept getting caught on it, an eventually damaged the underlying Filter (Which if you had done this would appear as just White Light.) Eventually in that game of tug, and war the LCD completely disintegrated.
I eventually found the Part Number (from a Samsung Tech Manual) p, and was able to locate two possible locations from which to order a replacement Screen from. Samsung in the Netherlands, and some other 3'erd Party from Poland. But either way you were looking at about 160€'s before Postage, and VAT (e.g. Sales Tax, which was higher in the NL). Making a total replacement, both simplier, and more cost effective.
Did you try heating it up like in the videos? I think the key is getting the glue loosened up
So, my wife let my 1 yr old son play with the tablet for some reason, and now there is a nice hairline crack across the screen.
Does anyone know of someone who can replace the glass on the tab s screen? Can I sent it to samsung for a repair (i know it won't be free, but I want it done right)? How can I go about fixing this?
I got my screen replaced as well. There is no way to replace the surface glass rather than the entire screen including the glass. The glass is permanently attached to the screen (I saw the service screen unit). I checked the prices and it was cheapest to replace the glass with Samsung and not with third party repair places. The cost is high. In Poland it was EUR 160 for the part and EUR 25 for labour. They needed to import the screen from Holland as there was no single spare part in Poland at Samsung but it took them 4 days to get it here. Regards KL

Thanks. Looks like I'm going to need to have a samsung repair done.
I'm in the middle of a huge dispute with Squaretrade over my Tab S 10.5. I sent mine to them because it fell and the screen stopped working, and there was a small crack in the glass. Squaretrade said it's more expensive to fix than to replace the tablet. I seriously doubt that.
Does anyone have any idea of the wholesale cost of a replacement screen and glass for the Tab S 10.5, or a way of finding out? I want to have ammunition for when I talk to them next.
From what I heard the glass is part of fhe screen so if you break that then you have to replace the screen. As for pricing it should cost half the price of the tablet. I cannot comfirm this and someone correct me if im wrong. I think there was another thread about a screen repair and would suggest you checking it out. Hope this helps.

Don't forget that the screen is 'bonded' to the digitiser as well (can be removed using heat) but while I'd do it on say an S3 or S4 phones I wouldn't want to do it on something as large as a 10.5" screen....too much chance of glue touching glue.
I know that from Samsung in the UK a complete Screen and Digitiser replacement was £110 ($170ish) if bought in units of 10s for the S4, I wouldn't be surprised if it was double that for the Tab S 10.5".
The screen is almost always the most expensive component of any portable device, especially tablets and smartphones., ESPECIALLY AMOLED. Also consider the fact that the AMOLED + digitizer + glass are fused into one piece to make it as thin as possible, so they'll have to replace the whole assembly. Add shipping and labor, and the cost is almost that of a new device.
When my Nexus 10 screen cracked, I had estimates from 4 different shops and decided to sell it for parts.
in some countries (Italy), if a service center samsung, just will change the glass, may loose the grant to repair samsungs. They "must" change also the touch panel.
Maybe some chineese laboratory, will do what you are looking for
What's the 'dispute' part? (I'm curious as I've the same coverage). Why not let them replace it.. isn't the co-pay the same?
Hi guys my son dropped my tablet and all the screen are shattered. Is there any way where we can find a replacement screen? How easy to replaced the screen? Thanks in advance.

Not good, I'm pretty sure the tablet has a clear optic adhesive under the digitizer glass and lcd so if you remove the glass the glue will be remove too and you will be left with a display that looks like it has a big air bubble under the screen...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
see the thread here (for the 12.2 model but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 8.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p/replace-cracked-glass-tab-pro-12-2-t3251203
so you will most likely have to replace the digitizer glass+ lcd in one unit
for the full assembly you might be able to find these on ebay or aliexpress (china- might be official or knockoffs)
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20160117213008&SearchText=sm-t320+lcd
look for ones that include the LCD + Digitizer as one (usually around $100-$170) - also make sure the store has a good return policy and good feedback (maybe even good feedback for the item aswell), it is very hard to return to china so it's best to make sure before purchasing.
http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/SMT320/Default.aspx
this place sells all the parts but you might need to email them to get specific part numbers - and well it's probably expensive
last but not least send it to Samsung and have them fix it, they will usually just swap out the lcd + digitizer with a new one.

Thank you. I guess its too expensive to make a screen replacement for the tab. Not really worth it to fix it for $200. Rather than buy a new tab. Hopefully i can find somwhere else where they charged not that much. Thanks again.

Thank you. I guess its too expensive to make a screen replacement for the tab. Not really worth it to fix it for $200. Rather than buy a new tab. Hopefully i can find somwhere else where they charged not that much. Thanks again.

I would check around with local repair shops (ones that specialize in tablet and phone repairs- since they should be very familiar with the oca film), maybe if you can supply them with a replacement digitizer, they can do the rest of the repair for cheaper.
you can check youtube for the oca film process (type oca film or LOCA screen) and a bunch of videos will come up.

Not good, I'm pretty sure the tablet has a clear optic adhesive under the digitizer glass and lcd so if you remove the glass the glue will be remove too and you will be left with a display that looks like it has a big air bubble under the screen...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)
see the thread here (for the 12.2 model but I'm pretty sure it's the same for the 8.4)

so you will most likely have to replace the digitizer glass+ lcd in one unit
for the full assembly you might be able to find these on ebay or aliexpress (china- might be official or knockoffs)

look for ones that include the LCD + Digitizer as one (usually around $100-$170) - also make sure the store has a good return policy and good feedback (maybe even good feedback for the item aswell), it is very hard to return center, thatna so it's best to make sure before purchasing.

this place sells all the parts but you might need to email them to get specific part numbers - and well it's probably expensive
last but not least send it to Samsung and have them fix it, they will usually just swap out the lcd + digitizer with a new one.

It's crazy, this tablet costs more now used than what I bought it new for.
I too have a broken digitizer... And my screen has been going bad.. So unless you live near a samsung service center, that option is out. I keep seeing people suggest the LCD + digitizer replacement, but there is not one guide on how to actually do it.
The only thing I could find was some German guy on YouTube for a digitizer (not a whole LCD) replacement. How do you go about doing the replacement? The generic answer has been look at iFixIt or YouTube, but there isn't anything for this model...

I broke my digitizer the same week I got mine. I found only one place online to buy one. Google it, it's from China. It was about $160.00ish.. I followed the tutorial for galaxy tab s on YouTube. It was very easy.
