He only "destroyed" his screen, which was already ruined. :p

That was me and it was a joke. Maybe not a very funny one, but still...

Hey man, I think you should relax a bit. :)

Your point has been made very clearly but we're hardly strangers to taking risks here. No need for more walls of text about white trash and Wile E. Coyote. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
again you just dont get it...do you even comprehend what you read???

the destroyed... im trying to stop more destruction than just the screen... its in the reading...

your joke...um definitely wasnt funny and i doubt it was a joke

and the hey man... im a girl... i mean its in the pic and name which shows you dont comprehend or read... ill relax when doofuses like yourself stop making ridiculous comments about things that they HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT... im trying to save the people on here that hang on every word that is typed as gospel from screwing up their phone by doing stupid crap like this...

ill post as many walls of text as i like there mr forum policeman... as long as there is a doofus like yourself spouting crap...ill chime in and correct the situation so someone doesnt tear their phone up by doing the WHITE TRASH REPAIRS... so WILE E... go play somewhere in the forum where you can be productive

my point obviously has not been made clearly.. or you just dont comprehend what you read... that sounds like your problem..not mine

oh come on here too??? Please try to help people..... 20+ years of experience, sure.

Help them out will you!!!!!

becosemsaida
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
choose one thread or the other... i answered you in the other.. but here ill ask how havent i helped... please answer in the other thread as not to make this another back and forth over the same freaking thing...

btw wheres your solution or input?? you call me out..i call you out... be a productive member and solve this... ill be your first thank you if you can....

im banking on it staying 0

fyi youre also posting in both but *****ing about me posting in both so you are pretty much being a hypocrite ...

beep beep
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] becosemsaida:
Please do not offend me ok ??, If you want to offend me please use the PM....

Strange that you give the same answer in both topics.

As for my help ?? If you say you know more then me why need help??

A solution for this problem (screen broken) is very simple...... If you can give a small fortune for a mobile phone you can also get a good insurance that covers all!!!! Simple and efective. I did it and if i break my screen i just get a new one. Done it before and didn't have any problems.....

No, i don't want any thanks for this and either want to receive a reply. People like you should get a life and not offend others with stupid remarks.

beco
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
the same answer... well its the same freaking topic and it gets the same answer... seriously get with it man...

as for offending..um you used question marks so im thinking youre unsure if i did but if calling you a hypocrite offended you i must have been on the mark... i mean you called me out.. im just pointing out the obvious... if your feelings get hurt so easily i promise you xda is not the site for you... theres many many more people with many more posts and thanks than either of us will ever get but they will rip you a new one if you get under their skin... me i dont get mad and really dont care what anyone thinks... i post when i have something pertinent to say that can be backed up with fact...

as for you helping.. well gee you said thats what forums are for so im challenging you to be a contributor and just not a taker like you have been so far... your definition not mine...

as for your solution good for you.. i will ask... why troll here if youre set with screen repair... again be productive ...its a forum like you said...

as for a life... mine is pretty sweet... from most things ive read that you have posted you need to stick to the really important topics like Best Weather App for p500..or attempt @ optimus' battery world-record which you were really confused there too...

yeah im done you and your bff pboesboes can go lurk in peace again... :rolleyes:

ps...(since you like to do it i will too) get hold of ganjaman on here ... he might be able to hook you up with something to make you not so wired.....

:eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
Do you get this worked up with a stubborn wisdom tooth? And a lot of subsequent malpractice suits for lingual nerve damage from you just trying to pound it into submission?

I'm sure that plenty of guys who post on here are 20-something year old college students. What's so difficult to understand about the cost/benefit ratio of a DIY repair? It isn't like most of us are even earning close to $20 dollars an hour. Three hours of work+ 20 dollars in costs come out to a total of $50 spent, more or less at a minimum wage pay.

You've made your opinion abundantly clear, and you should have gotten the message earlier: nothing about your degree, or anything else, allows you to impose your opinion on others, particularly in a DIY- oriented forum like this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
reading is not your strong suit either i see... i see you like to spout big words but where is the actual input of solving the issue? i mean you went on some medical tangent..sorry if you need a dentist and your college pay cant afford it..welcome to the real world...again ive never said diy is bad... and again since youre too dense to read IM ALL FOR IT... im just not for something that is going to do more damage than good. i see diy gone bad everyday in my shop...i know what can go badly wrong and end up not only costing a full screen assembly but more damage was done by following something they think is gospel but really should be on a roadrunner cartoon... hell i get other shops work that does that and they are so called pros.

so ***** all you like but all im trying to do is warn people that this is not a very good idea and let them know the dangers... what do i get in return.. a bunch of whiners that like to spout but have nothing solid to contribute on how im wrong... im just posting facts... again for the reading impaired...I COULD CARE LESS WHO TRIES THIS... BUT I AM GOING TO DO MY JOB AS A GOOD TECH AND XDA MEMBER AND WARN OF THE DANGERS...

i got the message... its you whiners that havent... stop whining and ill stop posting facts

btw i enjoy the banter..

Some info for all the squabblers......

After my last post I see some people have been fighting over this..........shame on you, we are here to learn/help, not squabble over spilt milk. Right, here we go. After much tooing and froing with Samsung, I found a local authorised Samsung repair centre that replaced the whole front for £150, they refused to sell me the part on it's own, but in 10 mins the job was done, phone back to new, with warranty, no ebay, no messing around with dodgy copied bits. Now I had a good chat with avery capable engineer who informed me that the only way to remove the glass is in an infra-red temperature controlled oven and then you can just sucker it off the same way as a surface mounted component. Using direct heat from a hairdryer/heat gun is a foolhardy thing to do, because the bonding agent is there to fill any gaps between the glass and digitizer and all needs to be heated to a uniforn temperature to be removed. Now if you know anything about infra-red heating, you will know that a reptile heater is the same kind of infra-red that they use in reflow machines and that is the only way to go. I mean I suppose you could try boiling the thing in a kettle, but getting the water out from between the amoled and digitizer is going to be a bit of a problem, and the speakers will be fcuked if you dont remove them....but I am going to see at what temp the glue becomes "fluid" on my half glued screen and will post the results here......no direct heat people unless you want yellow spots and a screwed amoled......oh and the engineer, who was trained by Samsung BTW says that fishing line in the perfect cheesewire to use, but the thing definately requires infra-red heating.......

I will keep you posted on my findings.

Attached a pics of my SGN, all working, now in black (which is what I wanted in the first place!!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
well again i will ***** when someone posts non fact but again as ive said too many times.. do whatever all im doing is making sure everyone knows the dangers... kind of like new roms and rooting with no warnings...then it bricks and people are pissed... and since you also seem to not read well i said i have done this... so since ive done it id say i have the right to judge it... im glad you did get some good info from a tech... btw that adhesive is a conductive gel adhesive and yes it can be removed with the proper tools.. and as you see heating is involved... but the point ive been trying to make is if the gel is gone or is not fully adhered to the digitizer film and the glass you are not going to have a good working or looking final product... but some people just want to wear their emotions on their sleeve and think they are being picked on when actually they should look at it as constructive criticism and maybe read more to see what actually was done wrong... btw i dont give 2 shats about the $700 phone but i do see it being senseless to do more damage to it than is already done... not going into it again because ive explained it.. so either fully read what ive wrote and stop whining or just move on...

ill even say sorry if ive offended but im not going to let something be posted that can and probably will cause more damage than has already occurred... i will warn and will defend it with facts... i see it daily at my shop how diy can go horribly bad and even from shops that are so called pros... a repair that should have cost lets say $100 ends up costing $200 because someone diy'd it and tore something else up too...it might make me money and trust me it does but my *****ing should prove that i care and am just not in it for the money... i hate to see something that can be avoided cause more harm.. so sorry if i care... but i wont stop... one last time... I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE FINDS A CHEAP DIY... A SAFE ONE TOO... so please look at the whole post just not what pisses you off... and if i do piss you off.. feel free to pm me... i bet we can make it right...

even gave you a thanks for an informative post...

and fyi...life is good :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chessie-james:
Bit of a defeatest attitude for an engineer.....

Well I love your posts and on the whole I strongly agree.....however just because Samsung wont tell you anything "in the land of the free" it doesn't mean they are the same all over the planet!! I have bought parts from Xerox that "wont sell directly to the public, you need an account" and Philips and Sony and Hitachi...shall I continue? The tech department at Samsung were more than happy to answer my questions. As for destroying the phone, how did you come to that twisted conclusion? It was already destroyed, and knowing that I needed a new assembly anyway, what was the harm in trying eh? I do understand your point, but calling it a "white trash repair" really is uncalled for, don't you think? Over here in the UK, the Samsung dealers will replace the glass for you, however the repair is only £20 less than the whole assembly, so I opted for the "lets see if we can get this sucker off, and let my experiences help out someone else because I know I need a whole new front".....not the "hey Jim-Bob, pass me the crowbar so I can get the front off of this" approach. Knowing that the front glass can be replaced seperatly, in a shop, while you wait should be good news to some people. The job is not impossible, however unless you have a temp controlled infra-red oven, you will be having a hard time!The bonding agent is the same stuff that they use is cameras and unless I am much mistaken is a liquid to begin with and sets under UV light (not heat)as a clear gell to do exactly as you said......to bond the digitizer to the glass to ensure a uniform contact, not the kind of thing you can do in the garden shed! You can get debonding agents, but first you need to know what the stuff is, which I am working on! Have a look here :

http://www.optical-cement.com/

Basically if you want to get the glass off, you can. If it's broken you use sticky backed plastic, heat it up using infra-red and sucker it of in one go, or use a suitable debonding agent. As for replacing it and getting the same quality as you had with a factory screen is then the second part of the challenge...not impossible, but bloody difficult........

So the basic moral of the story is don't drop your SGN or slam it in a car door or sit on it, make sure you have accidental damage insurance or find a friend with an infra-red oven and a clean room........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawgirlval69:
i love the banter too... makes things interesting some days when the real world needs to call ganjaman..lol i do get you and yes youre pretty close on the gel... but as for people having the infrared to do this..takes the cost effectiveness out of the diy... as for the white trash part..well it comes from the original pics and how to... the way its shown and described and how it turns out if it is successful if you can even call it that is worthy of that website.... im not calling someone white trash .. www.whitetrashrepairs.com

i will also agree with you on the samsung america.... they seriously have not sticks but freaking trees up their asses... trust me ive worked for them... i also have dealt with techs from samsung from many areas of the world.. occasionally you get a good one... but some countries the "certified techs" are pretty much nothing more than a you tube tech as in thats where their training came from... im probably one of the few from america that will tell it how it is and actually let a secret or two out.. its like the sim tray repair... unlike many "shops" that say they can do it and then it is a cluster of a mess and looks like a cracked out monkey did it... i will do it and i do it for a very very fair price and when im done welcome back warranty because i know samsung cant tell my work from theirs... its the pride i take in what i do...

as for you trying again i had no problem and i knew what the outcome would be... kudos for trying but my point was the danger of harming something else while trying it... you seem to have a bit of a tech side... most that want to do this dont.... thats where my beef is... i want them to know that it can cause more harm with a slip up... again i see it every day... i had a my touch 4g come in my shop 2 days ago.. it was repaired for $130 from a place in texas... it looked like crap because they did the repair similar to this (the digitizer is not attached the same) but they literally peeled off the digitizer film and glued the glass back in also gouged the lcd.... it was a sight and this was from a supposed reputable shop... i do that repair for $100 with a brand new oem full part and you cant tell it was ever broken... so you see where i will err on the side of safety and making sure people know what can and probably will happen...

i guess now that we see it better we can move on..lol we good?

ya dont drop it..lol good advice... im just hoping the screens prices drop.. should happen soon.. new stuff coming out and thats when the prices fall... for now i get dealer pricing and its not much different than what were seeing all over the net... hell the skyrocket screen (good oem) is still $200...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chessie-james:
I cant MAKE you listen but.......

For anyone that is interested this is the type of bonding agent that is used on the note :

http://www.edmundoptics.com/lab-production/adhesives/norland-optical-adhesives/1597

so as I said before it is not epoxy, or even a solvent based glue. There is no debonding agent so the only way to get the thing off is with IR. You can find these here :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hagen-Terra...IAXO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336688286&sr=8-1

as I have said before, these are the same type of ceramic IR heaters that they use in reflow machines, they are not bulbs!! You can find 75/100 watt ones on ebay for about $10-15. So with the optical bonding agent the glass and glue you are looking at $60-$70 to do the repair and that's if you manage to get the glass off without destroying the digitizer/amoled assembly!! I do believe that Kawgirlval69 is going to start a new thread with HD pics of a Note stripped down to individual layers, so that the layman can see what is what, how damn thin the amoled is and exactly what you are dealing with. I am trying to obtain a busted Note front so that I can "play" with it to see if the job actually can be done at home, without $2000 worth of kit and if it can be done I will be quite prepared to risk my new SGN screen to prove it and post the video here....I cant be any fairer than that.....

And boom goes the dynamite!! Lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bucklee:
Thanks for the Info OP.

This past weekend, I was riding my bike drunk and dropped my phone on the ground, there is a moral in this story. The glass had no scratches on them, but the LCD was busted, thank god for Screen protector...LOL, anyways order my part on ebay ($250) and got to NYC in 6 days. Followed several different instruction on Youtube to get the note Opened and followed your direction for the Screen replacement. Although it seem a lot easier for me to open it. I heated the front glass nice and hot and I pried the glass off. Took out the Wacom sensor from the old screen and added it on to the new one (Much like you did), Put everything together and booted right up. Like new, everything working. Thanks OP! Szhit happens and I am glad XDA forum is here to make things a little better.

I could have bought a new phone, but I really love my note, glad I was able to fix it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rmclardy:
Hi all,

Not sure if this is just a crazy idea or not, but thought i would ask here seeing as a few of you have had your Gnote's in bits.

What i want to know is how feesable / easy it is to remove the entire front glass/amoled/digitizer assembly from the main frame? is it just the adhesive at the top and bottom and the thin bits down the sides holding it in? (shown in pic) or is there adhesive between the main body of the frame and the back of the pen digitizer?

i want to take the black screen out and put it into a white housing. i already have the housing as pictured.

ive replaced a fair few screens in my time, just not ones that were glued in, and there seems to be no other pics on the interwebz showing it clear enough.

Thanks

Ross.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yumbrad:
I bought a cracked galaxy note off ebay after finding the $15 glass but BEFORE researching how to replace just the glass. Darn. Pretty amazing that so many sellers sell the glass + screwdriver + plastic tool as if that's all you need to replace a cracked lens!

Does anyone know what temperature should be used to liquefy the glue? I was thinking of using an SMT reflow oven. But then to put the glass back on - to glue it seems nigh impossible, so perhaps a screen protector between the display and glass, as the OP suggests, is as good as is possible. Unless just plopping the new glass on while the assembly is at temperature might work... Ugh. Anyone want to buy a cracked screen but otherwise working Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Amrut223:
My Note fell out of my sisters nappy bag while the bag was on the ground and shattered the screen like you would expect to see on an iPhone. Paying $260 for a replacement hurts :(.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Umm. Yeah. This is probably the wrong place to chime in, but I just finished reading a good portion of this thread (skipped to the end when it became a pissing contest), and I might be able to clarify one or two things.

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE IF I COVER SOMETHING THAT I SKIPPED OVER. I COULDN'T READ ANY MORE.

While butchering your phone to try and salvage an in-tact AMOLED panel from a cracked digitizer is a gamble at best, there are some things to take into consideration should you choose to attempt it. Regardless of how you remove the digitizer, you run a very high risk of tearing the film between it and the display (No. I'm not talking about the cured layer that puts the "Super" in Super AMOLED). It was mentioned in this thread that this film is part of the "LCD". Because the Note uses an AMOLED display, an emissive panel, there is no LCD. Second, if this film is damaged, your panel is not ruined... yet. The mysterious film(s) are in fact a binary polarizing ultraviolet filter (binary as in it takes two to work; polarizing as in its mode of action; and ultraviolet filter as in it filters out ultraviolet light). Samsung's inclusion of this filter is not arbitrary. OLED light sources are EXTREMELY sensitive to ultraviolet light; and exposure can reduce the panel's lifespan to a matter of weeks. Given the already limited lifespan of OLED displays, ignoring this would be unwise.

Finally, if you have the time, money, patience, resources, and inclination, go ahead and knock yourself out. Try it. It may work. It probably won't. If you simply want a fully functional device again, find a way to get an OEM display/digitizer back in there.

I hope that one day this helps someone. More likely, it will just piss someone off. So this will be my first and last post in this thread. Everyone take care and have a good one! :-)

hey can u make a video for single step to step explaination?:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] parisayo:
Great job. I have subscribed just in case I ever need it. I have smashed and replaced numerous ip**ne screens in the past, only to be expected I suppose, before I moved over to the Note.

This phone seems a lot better built than the ip**ne. Just look at how many replacement screens are available for the apple product. What does this tell us.

Cheers again

Hello,

So i took the Back Cover off my Note and now the Speakers and Mic and Ear Phone and Headphone Port won't work,

I did not even touch anything on the note to do all that.

Anyone no what i could do?

Thanks

I hate to say, but I just recently joined the "Broken Galaxy Note Screen Club". :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gk325:
I just joined too. Already bought a new one. Took one look at the GS3 and said thanks but no thanks. Can anyone give me an idea of what a broken screen Note might sell for on Ebay? I don't want to deal with fixing it myself
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crusnikmachine:
My dad had his note slip out of his pocket while he positioned himself in the front seat of his truck. closed door, and proceeded to run over the phone in reverse. Those screens are pretty tough but i guess we can find a way eh?

device works like new, now i just need to get the screen apart so i can crack the display underneath and then brick it once its fixed :fingers-crossed:

I should attach a picture, cause its funny how there's only a small cracked section in the top left corner. no section was left unreadable.
