Long story short my colleague dropped her S3 and the glass is okay (not cracked) and the AMOLED display is is fine as well, however it is not responding to her touches. Would this be the digitizer? And if so, would she just be able to replace the digitizer itself? Or would it require the entire LED/Glass/Digitizer piece?
Edit: To clarify what I'm trying to explain:
This is what I'm looking at for the digitizer only.
This is what I'm looking at for the entire LED/Glass/Digitizer
You're going to need to replace the glass and digitizer. When you take the gorilla glass off it shatters the screen rendering it useless.
anyone know where to get just the touch screen digitizer replacement part.?
the LCD part is fine
As was written on iFixit
The front glass is adhered to the display frame, meaning you'll need a heat gun to get the LCD out—or replace the whole front panel.

If touch is working, digitizer is good. If not, it's broken. As far as I know, there are basically three layers in Samsung phones, (I think it will be the same for others)
1. Protective glass (as its name protective)
2. Digitizer ( detect touch)
3. Amoled display (produce color)
Hit thanks if this help you

I bought this to replace mine and it's indistinguishable from the original. Just not gorilla glass. But none of the aftermarket ones have it anyway. Button lights work and10 touch.
He even ships it with a free glass protector for you to install.

No Gorilla Glass on this one, probably it will crack after a while (lot of comments about that). You need to buy some screen protection asap.
Better to buy an original one that comes with Gorilla glass.
Yes I agree. I mentioned it if you wanted something cheap. It doesn't have gorilla glass and there might be some light bleed from physical buttons.
If you want the REAL original parts I would go with

I have bought many spare parts in general including the mi a1 screen with housing replacement. All official.

You don't need a heatgun if you purchased the screen with frame.
The problem is that I cannot find any guide that does it with the tool provided. I would be grateful if I could ask you in private message for some doubts that I have.
Thanks
I bought a copy a few months ago from AliExpress. Mounted last week. One drop from very low distance to the floor and it cracked. Very disappointed.

Agree, only dragon-tt gave me satisfaction, I tried eBay and aliexpress I've been really disappointed by the quality of the assembly (screen+frame)
Yes, one thing that I noticed straight away when I removed the original screen to put the new one is that aliexpress' copy was thinner and looked very fragile. I used b-7000 glue and it fitted perfectly with not light leaks. But in the end not so strong...one small drop and it cracked. With the original I had multiple drops for almost two years from more height with no cracks.
Hey guys ! I've broken glass in my a50, digitizer and display are fine. Can I replace just a glass or its stick to the digitizer and display and I have to replace all 3 things?

shops usually wont touch it unless replacing the entire display assembly.. reason being is because its difficult to separate the glass from the rest without damaging the display or digitizer
