Shld be the lcd only. Not too sure. Wait for a more experienced guy to confirm it before buying. The touch works right?

I was thinking about buying the LCD and digitizer assembly with The frame because i have seen that they are glued. But concern is about The line that appeared on the s3 ,i don t want To buy the part and continue with one half screen dead.
Thanx anyway for the response,i will wait more for another one

If you want to replace LCD your self see YouTube videos. There's lot of videos for "How To". In some videos they used glue.

thanx for your answer but
my main question is, replacing the lcd with digitizer and frame will resolve my problem?(the lcd is the only thing damaged) or could be something else that made the half look darker on the screen?

yes or no is the answer
Probable but not 100% certain that lcd is only part damaged .

better to replace LCD with digitalizer.. I think the combination is like that

[Hardware] Help with LCD problem!

Hi everyone!
My Neo V just downed from 1m, and won't turn on LCD anymore!!
All working, except LCD, with Android Commander, to try shot a screenshot, only black image..
Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance!
It seems that touchscreen is dead,so you should send the phone to service.

Yeah, but, only touch or both? (LCD and touch)
Because is two different parts...
I'll buy a LCD Replacement to try, or sold as is...

Probably both.
If you can't even take SS with android commander, then maybe it's not problem in LCD, but somewhere else.
But then again, maybe LCD is dead and because of that phone doesn't even send picture to LCD, and that's why commander can't get picture. Just my thoughts.

Anyone else have cracks in their casing by the speaker?

K so I bought my 1st phone from expansys and had bad overheating issues. They were very nice in exchanging it for me. But now I noticed on by replacement phone there are like 6-8 spider cracks around the one side of the rear speaker. You can tell the back plate cracked from factory speaker install. Did anyone notice this on their phone? I emailed expansys again. Do u think they'd give me a hard time on getting another replacement? I hate to see the back case crack worse then it already is.

can you post a picture of the phone?
On top of that add some other issues like black screen ink marks and tell them backcover makes a sound when u click on it. That should be enough to get a refund or replacement

I do have those black ink marks, im not really worried about it at the moment. What I worry is will it worse and be visible on the months/weeks to come?
this is the best attempt i could make....i can't tell if its just the glaze that is cracked or what...but come on you pay 700 for a phone it shouldn't be like that....

[Q] Dropped my sgs3, screen cracked and LCD is black

Hi,
Do anyone have experience with a broken screen on a Samsung Galaxy s3?
I dropped my phone and it cracked, now the LCD is black and doesnt show anything.
I can still hear email notifications etc.
Is this just a LCD problem or is it MB problem.
sucks to buy a repair kit to 250 dollar if it doesnt work
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Most probably the screen is too defective to show anything.
From this symptom however it's not possible to determine anything - but a totally broken screen is more probable than the motherboard.
Btw it is not an Lcd

I would say instead of buying repair kit for $$250 just try try to sell your S3 to get a new one .You can easily sell it on swppa or ebay .According to this price report http://www.movaluate.com/samsung/galaxy-s-iii-verizon-blue you can still get $200.00 for your s3 even in NON FUNCTIONAL condition .
here is a video i made of the process of replacing the cracked screen. it will help a lot. 3

Help plz
I didn't break my screen but the contrast material is leaking out... i don't think replacing the screen will help me with that problem will it?

yes, it will
Unlike most other phones, the S3 screen is bonded to the gorilla glass - crack the glass and you crack the screen, which is why a cracked glass costs $200+ to replace - you are buying a new amoled screen as well. Buy the new screen (or get a service centre to do it) and invest in a book-cover styled case. (has a cradle for the phone and a stiff cover for the screen side)
@duoblade - the 'contrast' material? Do you mean the screen is fading or are you getting some kind of ooze coming out of the phone? Bit puzzled...
Some problem
I have the some problem but what I want to know is, can can I control it through my pc/Lenox, so I can use it was a mini pc
You'll need mhl to connect to hdmi tv

Buy a new phone .

Burn in (or whatever to call it) from sticker!!! :(

So I just got a new Galaxy S3.
It hasn't been a day and i've noticed a kind of a shade that looks like the "super amoled" logo that's on the sticker that you peel off.
I really hadn't noticed it at first but now it's really annoying on white background.
I've found a picture on the web so that you guys can see my problem.
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3724/img2689su.jpg
Is there any way to get rid of this? I've tried running so called burn in fix apps but none of them worked.
I've also tried using wet wipes but it didn't remove it.. so It's not stains or anything and it appears like its burnt on the screen
Everything else is great about this phone but it's just this shade that looks like "c" that annoys me!
I have 6 months warranty but my dad bought it in Japan and he just returned from there and it's not like he's there every month so it's a bit of a problem.
If you have any solutions or if anyone here encountered the same thing please please share your experience.
Thanks in advance!

looks like stain from the plastic cover that the comes comes with... try wiping with a microfibre cloth with a little alcohol...

no alcohol is not dangerous (or any other liquid), as long as you do not let it seep through the sides of the phone.
I don't think that mark is inside, the plastic cover is outside and I don't imagine ever seeing a screen saver image of that type unless you have used one...
Hmmmm, its not only the c, you can see inside of the c the word amoled and on the top you can see the word galaxy s3

Was this a display model by any chance?
Could it have been exposed to sunlight with the marketing sticker left on?

No not that I know of, my father took it off.
Anyway how silly it is to put sticker on the phone if there is a risk to get burn in because of sun light?? this is ridiculous from them!
at least warn the customers.
I don't know.. it's not like a stain or something because it seems imprinted inside the screen ;(
and that photo is not mine but I do have that same 'C' right in the same location obviously from the sticker
Wtf that's some weird issue you have there mate

Return it or get it exchanged. That screen got exposed to sunlight while having the sticker on.
Probably a display unit (which you would not want to have).
Best of luck mate.

SGS3 comes in a box so does not get exposed to sunlight .
6 months warranty ????
Smells like not a new phone to me .

I think its best if you sak for a replacement ASAP before you run out of time

What's a display unit exactly?
And this phone is from AKKY INTERNATIONAL in akihabra they have a website in English and everything so I'll try to contact them hopefully it will go well. I dont even know the procedure of this.. will they ask me to ship the phone to them?

A unit to display in a store . It has no network hardware ,

Ship or take to them .
Fact is standard warranty from a vendor is usually 12 months standard limited warranty from Samsung is 24 months .

According to their website there is also 6 months limited japan warranty.
I will contact them and I will also add pictures of the phone and all of the receipts..
And I see that when you ship the item to them you need to fill an RMA form so that no additional customs will be charged.

Lines all over the screen and it flickers

Hello guys, I hope for you expert opinion here. Yesterday I picked up my beloved Note 4 Global version and saw lines all of the screen, and it flickers all the time. It is definitely a hardware issue because the lines can be seen on the boot and in the TWRP. Also if I apply a bit of pressure on the phone on different sides, sometimes you can see the lines changing, ones they diapered for 5 minutes completely. I have dropped it a day before, from my trousers pocket, but it was fine for a while after that...
I bought this phone from www.gearbest.com and I live in Germany. After reading all the reviews about the warranty procedure I decided that I don't want to send it back to gearbest, because in the best case scenario I will get the phone in half a year, in the worst I won't get it at all.
My question is, do you think the fault is in the motherboard or LCD screen itself? I could buy a new LCD for 25 euros and replace it myself.

from the teardown video, the screen removal is not that hard but not sure if you can get the screen for 25 euros tbh. Best of luck~

I know it's not hard, I've done it to other phones as well. The question is if it's the screen, or the motherboard.
Found a screen here, as far as I know, the 4X screen is compatible with Global version.

That is correct, I don't want to buy a new LCD to find out that some controller somewhere on the motherboard is dead.
Actually buying the phone was very easy. Having any kind of service is much harder. And you can't buy this phone in Germany. They don't sell them here.
