Screen Replacement Question [7 inch Screen] - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi All I was thinking of converting my screen broken S3 into a InDash car pc. SO I need 2 din/~7inch touch screen to attach to s3 instead of regular samsung s3 screen.
My doubt is if I buy something from ebay/amazon any other place, I'm not sure, if I'm going to get something compatible with s3. So anyone has idea of s3 lcd connectors please comment.

[Q] Screen replacement

Hello All,
Just recently dropped my screen for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The phone still works but has cracks everyone. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to change just the screen itself, if so, where did you buy the screen from and what tools did you use? Also, what is the metal frame around the phone called and is it possible to get it replaced? Thank you and have a nice day!

If you are talking about the glass then I just replaced mine about a week ago. I actually ordered a replacement in white instead of the grey that I have. I used a hair dryer, hobby knife kit (only to start the edges), and the tools that came with the glass. It cost about $30 and an hour of your time. The only problem I had was getting the glass to stick with the old tape. A good reference are the videos for replacing the Galaxy S3 glass.
Do not push to hard when putting the new screen in place, you will break the digitizer if you do. I did find that if you have a completely broken screen and its showing black, the s-pen seems to still work fine and can make the phone function. I am assuming that the 11pin port will also push video to a tv with the screen broken and the phone can be used that way also if needed (will test and let you know).

How hard was it to do a replacement on the screen glass itself? and is it easy to do a bezel replacement?

You replaced the glass for the Note 2? Yes I am just talking about the glass itself. Do you have a link to where you bought the item and any link to videos you used to assist you in replacing the glass? Thank you so much for all your help!

I purchased the glass off of ebay, I cant post a link due to not having enough post here, but just search "galaxy note 2 replacement glass"
I looked at a bunch of Galaxy S3 glass replacement videos. just search "s3 glass replacement" on youtube.
It is time consuming, I used a hair dryer to be safe because heat guns get too hot if not careful.
I did get a chance to test if the 11pin still pushed video to a tv with a broken screen (using an MHL adapter). It did not for me. I plugged a phone in with a broken digitizer that the s pen still worked on and would let me make calls from. The phone is still function able, just no picture on the screen (working in the dark with the s-pen). Nothing showed up on the tv screen. I plugged another note 2 in to verify and the other note 2 pushed video just fine.
What's the easiest way to tell if I just need to replace the glass versus the entire digitizer?
Glass replacement
Ok for every thread on the internet the digitizer is NOT part of the glass. The glass is just that......glass. Stop calling it a digitizer these are not iPhones!!!!!! The digitizer is laid on top of the amoled and has a connector that runs under the display and plugs in there with a flip type switch connector. The glass can be removed with heat approx. 160 deg with a heat gun on low and keeping track of the temp with a infrared thermo. I've done this a few times now be careful with white as these tend to break easier than the grey not sure why laminate must be weaker. Takes 45mins to do. You can buy the glass for approx. $25 shipped be careful near the bottom with the button flex they are glued on. You must reuse your speaker trim and button trim also. I have only 1 single question can you buy a replacement digitizer by itself without having to buy the amoled? Anyone know and how much they are please point me to one for the i317m.
Why the are you answering a 3 month old thread?
Op says he dropped his screen...lol

GALAXY S3 Broken screnn

Hi,
My S3 screen was broke down. the screen is complete and I see a picture but the touch is not working.
I want to buy a new screen and replace it, what exactly do I need to buy? Is it possible to but the touch part only or I must but a full display (100$ +-)?

Will the tmobile S4 motherboard work with any S4 Varient?

So basically with my backup phone S4 it dropped on its side with the case on it. Now the screen is not responsive to my touches at all.
Glass is not cracked. Up under glass in top left hand corner i can see small spider web. Along left side of the phone there is a grey,green and red thin lines.
I know my option is to replace the lcd, digitizer and screen all in one piece but for the price and repair trouble Im thinking of just buying a BAD ESN S4 off ebay that have a perfect display and just swap the motherboard from my phone to the phone I buy on Ebay and put the Ebay phone motherboard into my backup S4 and then sell that phone on ebay to get some of my cash back
My question is, can I use any S4 to do this? Will the tmobile motherboard work with any S4 meaning will it fit? is there any differences in the build?

Screen replacement tab s 10.5

So I just bought a tab s 10.5 on ebay with some pretty bad screen burn in and I'm trying a burn in fixer now but I'm thinking down the line I'll probably just replace the screen. I've looked at some videos of the process and I think I can pull it off myself but the videos all end before its completely taken apart. By that I mean the screens I see for sale have no brackets or connectors its just a screen with its chipset and a ribbon I think. The end of those take apart videos show a screen with a black tape thing in the middle and bracket all around. Is it easy to take off that bracket?
I can't post links or i'd post the video and a link to the replacement lcd but to sum it up, the end step of the take apart video and the lcd replacement look different and I'm wondering if anyone knows if its hard to move those parts over to the new lcd.
honestly, in my experience, burn in "fixers" are useless.. lol.. I had a 8.4 with burn in and got used to it. but what I would do if I were you if look for a broken tab s with good screen and swap parts. like on ebay find something like.. good lcd, but reboots.. or good lcd but doesn't turn on.. stuff like that.. you be amazed at the pricing you can get. I swapped a tab s 8.4 once and it was pretty easy. I would think its the same situation. where did you see the how to? ifixit?

It was on youtube from Mengtor. One deal for $172 that has all those connectors/brackets on the lcd. I'm guessing its not that hard to port over if I have to though. I'll keep a look out for broken tablets though that's a good idea, thanks.
Edit, ok there's a broken bronze colored one at $7.50 bid right now, any idea if the bronze panel will work with the white model? I don't care about the color mismatch as long as it all works ><

It should..
Having the part number for YOUR present screen and the part number for the one you want to purchase might help insure you get a correct replacement. I don't know how critical it is with Samsung but on my Asus TF700 it was very important else all might be reversed! One difference in a REVISION number can make the difference of a working tablet or not.
