Hi everyone,
First, I hope there's not another thread opened about this, I promise I did several searches and couldn't find one that was close enough
I have some question about screen replacement.
My dad just dropped his note 2 and damaged the screen (really unfortunate, it was really a little drop!), so I was looking into buying a screen from eBay and replace it myself. yes, it's tricky, but not all that much imo (big +1 to the guy from the YT channel LE55ONS, his videos about this kind of stuff are amazingly well done).
So, the screen is broken, the display is not, but if I bring the phone to the rapair guy he will almost certainly replace the screen and the display for €200+
If I buy something like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40
and replace it myself I can do the whole thing and spend some €50 tops.
I was thinking about this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-Front-O...item3a7dc376c5
Here come the questions. Can anyone point me towards a good screen replacement for something around $20/30? Is the quality good? I asked the seller if it is actually gorilla glass 2 and he said yes.
Also, these don't have any connectors, the original one has 2. I can always use the connectors from the old screen, but if someone knows about a screen with connectors included, can they please let me know? There's nothing like asking to someone who has already done something like what I'm about to do.
Thank you everyone
Mine dropped from two feet and hairline cracked across the whole screen. I bought the full assembly LCD/digitizer. Did the repair per LE55ONS. AOK now. afterwards, i tried to pry apart the digitizer. In my Note II is is bonded with transparent gum covering the entire LCD. No way to replace only the digitizer.

If you buy the digitizer with the screen attached that's sooo much easier to replace, it's almost not even risky. But it costs somewhere around $200, the same as having it repaired by a professionist. Did you find a cheaper replacement?
Hi guys. Just bought my second note 2 after my first one sadly broke.
I bought a new one for $300, as it is in terrible condition (bezel is in shocking condition) and the screen has been poorly replaced (dirt and hair between the glass and amoled.
Bought it for a bargain as I can get a new bezel for $16 and new glass for $20 on ebay.
Only one thing I have noticed, the gyro/accelerometer doesnt work. Could the previous owner have bumped a cord or something while he/she was replacing the screen? Is this a simple fix.
If someone could reply with a picture of a diagram of the mainboard showing where the gyro is situated maybe I can have a closer look.
Plus, if for some reason it is completely shot, can you replace this part easily?
I would flash an official rom, if still does not work then its broken.
Yeh I have, no change.
There a part I can replace it with? Or is there a conncetor that I can double check is in place?
A far as i know its part of the motherboard so the end user will find it hard to replace.

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

^CHEAPEST DIGITIZER ON EBAY
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
I stupidly cracked my screen and took it to my local fix it guy. He wasn't familiar with the tab but did several other Samsung tabs. He said I had to order the LCD along with the screen which didn't sound right. He said the screen is glued to the LCD and is very difficult to remove without breaking. I've only personally fixed ipads so im not familiar with the inner workings of Samsung tabs but from what I see all I need is the screen and digitizer. Tablet works perfectly fine. Buying an LCD will be a lot more expensive than the $70 screen replacement. I went back and asked his assistant which gave me the impression he know anything, since the screen is amaloid is there an LCD? If the tab works do I need an LCD as well??
AMOLED screens are a large group of single LEDs. There is no liquid crystal portion. It is possible to replace the glass by itself but it's extremely hard. Most places do it the way you listed and buy them as one piece. It requires a heat gun and lots of patience to change just the glass and it's not unheard of to break the screen or digitizer in the process of removing the old glass. Look it up on YouTube and you'll see what I'm talking about. The screen digitizer and glass are made into a single piece to keep it thin. Makes it more expensive when you need to fix it but they are MUCH better screens than LCD as far as blacks and power usage.

Damn it he actually knew what he was talking about. This is the first screen i ever broke and of course it has to be the most difficult. Saw a LCD screen combo for $260 but I'm just gonna give him extra to try and save the current LCD. Thanks for the info
I just watched the video it didn't look too difficult it was actually separated in 2 minutes in the video. After Applying heat it separated rather easily. An experienced person shouldn't have a problem.

The glass being glued to the screen has nothing to do with it being AMOLED. Several non-AMOLED tablets and phones (e.g. iDevices) have glued screen, digitizer, and glass all into one piece. The reason is to make the device thinner, lighter, and most importantly, cheaper to manufacture.
A heat gun will melt the glue and you can then take it apart, but yes, it's hard and you'll likely break it.
It might be removable if careful but gluing them back together will be difficult without introducing air bubbles or getting the glue in the wrong place.
I would send it to samsung, you may be suprised and cost less than you think.
I smashed the screen, damaged the metal housing and speakers on my HTC ONE M8 within 2 weeks of buying it. I sent it to htc and they completely fixed it in a week and looked like new.
The total cost of the complete repair including 2 way shipping was actually way less than the total cost of just the replaced parts if id have bought them myself. It cost me £103 in total for everything to be good as new and that was a phone that was supposedly almost impossible to repair.
Maybe Samsung might be as generous?

I'm actually going to give them a call because I know it'll be cheaper than buying an lcd screen and labor. Thanks for your post

Just called Samsung and they quoted me $200 with free shipping to and from. Which is excellent because that's cheaper than I've seen for an LCD and screen. These are my options so
1. $25 for screen and $50 labor for local guy to fix with no guarantee he won't break LCD then I'll be back to square 1
2. $199 send to Samsung guaranteed to work like new when I get it back.
#2 seems like the smarter choice.

1. $25 for screen and $50 labor for local guy to fix with no guarantee he won't break LCD then I'll be back to square 1
2. $199 send to Samsung guaranteed to work like new when I get it back.
#2 seems like the smarter choice.

Not only that, but quite often these cheaper non genuine screens have problems. Plus you'll have some of warranty for the work.

Your absolutely right, OEM is always better.
My phone whyred has always been in a case/screen protector since new
A couple of days ago my 4 yr old threw my phone violently and has smashed the screen :crying:
I can see on Aliexpress there are replacement screens for sale: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...09-47d6-b983-9f29fe68067d&transAbTest=ae803_4
I am based in the UK and this phone is not as popular as in India etc and there are not many places to get screen replaced
I have watched a few videos online, can this be done without all of the fancy machines?
For example do you really need a press? could you not just stick a heavyish book on the phone or is it just not possible
Clutching at straws I know
No, it doesn't work like that... if u want to replace just the glass.. you must have a UV lank to dry the glue..
I think he has to change the complete screen .
Did you look to the tuto on youtube ?
Just buy a new display and replace it. It is much easier but it costs a bit more. Make sure it comes with the frame as well.

I can see the complete display on Aliexpress
I replaced the display on my Redmi Note 3 pro and it was never the same again
The replacement displays are not a patch on the original
I may have to go down that road, is there no one who has attempted to replace the glass themselves?

It is very hard to do a glass-only repair. You have a 60-70% chance to break the display during the process
Broke my display, digitalizer and screen still intact only glass shattered.
As I live in Brasil, there is no trustworthy shop to replace screen.
Searching at aliexpress I saw lots of people complaining that screens are subpar to original.
Can someone recomment a place where I can buy an original replacement, or at least a good one?
My phone screen is "tianma td4310".
