Recently dropped my GT-I9195. Surprisingly from about 2 feet onto hardwood floor while in a case, must have just hit it right because the screen stopped working.
After getting the replacement part, following and double checking the disassembly tutorials available online, everything except the Menu & Back buttons is working. Home button works perfectly, just not the other two, no response and no light on either.
Has anyone replaced the screen/digitizer in the past and knows what I might be missing. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Look at flex tape at left, down side of screen. It is responsible for buttons but I don't remember is it only for home or all 3 buttons. Anyway if it's connected and You didn't teared or broke this flex tape You can't fix it without tearing apart whole screen. Just ask for replace whole screen part for new one without damages.

So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys
bump..........
Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?
Last night I purchased the 32gb silver T-mobile varient. I was feeling the volume button and felt an indentation/curve. I didn't think anything of this at first. This morning I looked at the button and the indentation is off center. So I found close up pictures of the phone on various websites and it shows the button being flat with no curve.
Has anyone else noticed this on theirs?
Also the button works fine, but it's now bothing my ocd knowing that it's not supposed to be there. Should I exchange?

i have a tmobile one and the volume button is absolutely straight.
If that's how you got it then you should exchange it. I would attempt an exchange just on principle.
I took it back to the T-Mobile and they exchanged it. First time they've seen it, but they also said I've been one of a hand full of people who bought the phone. I'm just happy to have a straight volume button lol.
I have a Note 2014 without a customer rom. It did run fine without problems. Suddenly I had a pink background color out of nowhere. Then I tried to restart. I can see the first Samsung text during start and then it becomes black. I can repeat this but apart from Samsung starting text nothing happens...
after a while it started but the colors are still strange... what can this be?

Hi there,
Don't worry. I am almost sure this is the ribbon of the LCD that moved. It is a common issue with this tablet. Mine was "broken" 3 weeks ago after 4 years of usage. The fix is freaking simple. It took me literally less than 10 minutes. Take the back off, and plug the LCD ribbon back in its connector and put some tape on it so it stays firmly in place. You have plenty of post on the internet showing how to fix in detail. I had no issue since then.
Cheers
Laurent

Thank you that helped
Hi all,
Recently picked up a Samsung Tab 3 with a smashed screen and broken charging port. Replaced the charging port now and hooked it up to power supply. Had no life, plugged it into PC so i could hear the chime when it does turn on and it connected straight away so there is power there.
When looking at the back just now, I have the gold ribbon from the screen on the left, new black ribbon from charging port and that's all. Looking online and the back of the tablet, it looks as though there should be a third ribbon on the other side? Is this right? If so, what is that ribbon for and where could i pick one up.
If it should power on without it, will a cracked screen matter? I have not received the new screen yet but the digitizer is in good shape, ,cracked screen plugged in. Will the cracked screen matter or should i still see some life on there?

I bought another broken SM-T805 and when i start it (cold start) takes about 15 seconds before the screen starts to malfunktion.
It starts to show small multi colored LCD defects on the left side and it ends up showing like you can see on the picture. The screen works to use and all other functions works.
What I can see and feel is that the temperature is sometimes a bit high on the processor and the screen. I have tried to change motherboard (SM-T800) and another battery, but the problem is still there. I haven´t been able to use another LCD-cable.
What do you think? Is the display broken beyond repair or could it be another problem?

Check the ribbon cable is seated properly in the FFC connector on the motherboard
Be careful with the locking tab. Panel I guess could be faulty
