im betting you did... hope it works but you really dont know what youre getting into...

and the you tube crap is just that.. im telling you all that you paid a huge amount of money for a really nice phone and youre going to bugger it up by doing a diy that has a good sucess rate of 0 and a really crappy sucess rate of 100 and a overall fail and tear your phone up worse rate of 95%...

but again i hope someone does figure it out...

well the digitizer and lcd need to come out since they are one piece and adhered together. the flex is between the dig/lcd and the main frame... it will be the bottom plug on the motherboard...

From the Moderator

People, watch you language....... please no flaming..... it is not productive. Be Respectful and follow the XDA code of conduct....

......... As far as fixing a cracked screen trying to remove the broken lense from the digitizer can be done but....... unless you are adept with using the needed tools and have a patient, calm demeanor, replacing the lense and reattaching the digitizer can be a bit of a challenge...... I have done this before but not on this device. The risk is you mess up... you get a new digitizer/assembly........ if you can't fix it .......you get a new digitizer/assembly..... So, it is up to the individual to decide if they want to attempt it or just go buy the whole assembly for the added cost...... Either way you have to basically dissemble the whole phone...... read and watch a number of postings on this before attempting........ is my recommendation........

............Now Play Nice People..........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursubpar:
Its what makes the phones screen so vibrant. samsung integrated the digitizer into the amoled panel to reduce the space in between the display and the glass. THe space is absolutely ZERO because they decided to glue the display and glass together.

Unfortunately this does make repairs quite costly/ time consuming (if your just replacing the glass).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewJack:
This thread is vert Funny !

My guess is, the main purpose of that guide, is to enhance glasses sales on eBay!

Chinese factories will produce more of it so.

Basically that part works good, but 99% of people will break their phones trying to replace it and 1% at least will have a fixed glass with dust going through.

Any honest moderator should delete this topic since all the sellers will link to this guide to help them sales to be done, but since anyone is free to post their experiences, all is legit and the only fact is cheap people ll get caught. So bad.

I'm a phone fixer since 13 years and Iam offering original full Samsung LCD octa Assy

But many customers come to me having lost 30€ and have wasted their time with this cheap glas.

But no phone parts supplier is selling glasses like that to real phone fixers.

It worked for me. i changed my glass!

But now my problem is, screen is really not sensitiv. Also with tune ap...

Sometimes I have to press really hard or sometimes to turn the screen off and after that it works again normaly.

Does someone know why or how I can fix that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
first how...

A. new screen assembly

B. figure out how to replace all of that "glue" as most on here call it.. as it is a CONDUCTIVE adhesive and it will greatly affect the performance.

(its something that is not reusable not readily sold)

now why... the "glue" you scraped off had a purpose... it helped keep the digitizer film in the correct area and it helped pick up the impulse from your finger ...

hope this helps...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Maybe using a heat gun on the new glass (but not too close or long as in the op) will help the glue reanneal.

At least kav had something vaguely useful to say this time.... though for someone who has already replaced their glass I don't see how "see you should have just replaced the digitizer" is productive in any way.

Can someone post some links to reliable places to get a replacement screen parts for the GNote. I have a busted screen and LED I would like to either replace or have repaired and would like to determine if its worth a DIY.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turkdavid:
I have been doing repairs for about a year now, and I have been receiving inquiries to purchase my broken iphone displays. So that got me thinking. I have contacted a few places and have found a possible solution for repair shops. This will be price prohibitive for DYI.

Here are two videos of screen separators:

This one is hand operated: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/4i1Ot1jItw0/

This one is auto: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/g5cD2Ll72zI/

My understanding is this is the glue used to adhere the new digitizer: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/50g-Liquid-optical-clear-adhesive-uv-glue-for-touch-panel-screen-glass-digitizer-lcd-repair-EMS/728721485.html

This has not been tested by me, this is only information that has been passed down to me so I can expand my shop. kawgirlval69 are you familiar with any of this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
quite familiar...... great for high end as in if you are going into business to refurb broken screens but for diy... not so much too much cost ..even costly for a small shop to have...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turkdavid:
So if this is the high quality way to referb screens, can we learn from its processes to find a cheaper solution for diy? We know the screen needs to be heated, but to what temp? Will a hair dryer or heat gun provide the heat even enough to soften the adhesive? What is used to separate the glass? Braided fishing line or some sort of wire? What chemicals are best to remove the left over adhesive? Can it be bought in small quantities? The uv adhesive used to fuse he old LCD to the new digitizer, can it be bought in small quantities, and what is required to set it correctly?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turkdavid:
So here is what I had in mind. Take a metal plate and mount a heat source such as heat gun or hair dryer under it. Super glue the broken digitizer to the plate and used the wire to separate the lcd similar to video one. If that works then all we need to figure out is how to properly clean the screen and cure the uv adhesive. If we can get these in small quantities this could be a good diy approach.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
well all of the supplies are listed... knock yourself out... wish you the best of luck... just remember, if it were as easy as it looks everyone would already be doing it... then you have the cost of everything you need to do this.... by the time you figure it out youre close to as much as it would be to just replace it with a full unit... which would look a hell of a lot better than a dusty house environment diy... but what do i know...

fyi... the reason its a "hot plate" is for even heating and controlled temp... a CONSTANT temp....not one that FLUCTUATES..... hence the hair dryer and heat gun make it very difficult eg. too much repositioning of the dryer/gun and then it cools before you get it done or you over heat which i warn is quite easy to do...... then there is the whole bit of getting the unit out of the housing without damaging the lcd which is adhered to the frame..... not as easy as it sounds.... not being a hater just trying to give you all of the real world bumps you will run into...

again... probably not an affordable diy option... but i hope you kill it and make millions... ill be the first to congratulate you...

BTW I NEVER SAID IT WAS THE "HIGH QUALITY" WAY... you did...

Tried to replace the glass on Galaxy Note N7000 - total failure. Now replaced with a £130 new replacement digitizer which works perfectly.

Or is the screen itself damaged ? (there is no black pixel or black line whatsoever, the screen looks perfect except it's all green huedright from the start (galaxy logo is green too) lol.

I don't know, I need to check if all the wires are at the right place, Theres only one dent on the LCD and to me it seems strange one dents would kill all the colors blue and red instead of making a dead line of pixels or something. We didn't heat the LCD much, not over 60°C

This is an excellent thread and please leave it open. I have replaced screen on i9000 before in the same way.....i did crunch a screen on the first one i tried ( didn't realise they were stuck together)

don't see the harm in having a go....as you have to pay the full price for a new digitizer+ screen anyway....so if it breaks foook it!! if not , you are sorted. :)

people who don't want to help or cant provide anything usefull should not post. That way the thread will stay clean.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reynaldinho111:
Take your time and make sure to use a lot of heat. I think I failed because I didn't apply enough heat. After I cracked the LCD I had an idea, maybe use a length of heavy weight fishing line like cheese wire and wedge a piece of plastic between the glass and screen as you go. Idk, it was just an idea I had in hindsight.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corininha:
Well, unfortunately here the issue was not just at the surface. As aside from the broken glass everything seemed OK, I genuinely thought the LCD is in very good shape. There was NOTHING to make me think otherwise. But... 1/3 through the process of removing the glass, I realized there's something wrong under it. The LCD was into pieces. :(

If someone can tell me how I was able to see and read properly on my broken screen, while ON, I'd be thankful. I am really confused. I am sorry I wasn't happy with having a perfectly functioning Note with a wonderful (and broken) screen and aimed at perfection. :(

After today's experience, I sincerely recommend buying and replacing the entire assembly rather than buying the glass.

Here is the picture before starting the procedure. I was very excited and almost sure it will work. Well, in my case, it didn't. I am 97% sure the LCD was broken inb4, even if I am not able to explain it technically.

Anyway, I am at least happy that I tried. Never again though. :)

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
glad you tried too :) the reason you could read is because it wasnt broken yet. nothing technical to explain, just too much pressure in one spot. like ive said before... it IS EXTREMELY EASY TO BREAK THE LCD. nothing more or less..

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ----------

heat is a huge key... too little and it cracks easily, too much and the lcd is ruined.. its a very fine line.. fishing line no.... wedge plastic between glass and screen .. no because that makes a pressure point and that will make it easier to crack... sadly if this really was a viable repair, repair shops would offer it as a legit repair... i still look every day at ideas, but nothing yet that is an affordable way for diy or shops.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
lol sadly other companies are using the same design. everyone wants thinner and this seems to be the best thinner. the price is also thanks to samsung being as popular as and becoming more than the iphone. high demand...low supply(they use the lcd's in everything these days) = high price.

Thanks for the article. I did it, took me 4 hours to remove the broken glass, and applied an protector on it. Now I'm waiting for the replacement part from dx to finish the job. I used a hair drier to heat the screen up as I though a with a heatgun, the concentration of heat is too much and could damage the screen.

Hey, dude , **** happened with my hone n i like to change the front glass of Samsung note 1 . can u tell me from where i can buy this . i m dubai UAE.

i will be very thankful to u for this kind of act
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] story:
It took me over 8 hours from start to finish.

I didn't even need to take apart the phone. I started by lifting the corner broken piece and went from there.

My concept is to excavate as much glue as possible so it doesn't build pressure into the LCD.

I used both business cards and plastic strips from one time use microwave trays. I push the glue out to the side and remove it.

After I removed the whole glass, I clean all the glue with homemade Goo Gone (coconut oil + baking soda). There are lots of scratches on the digitizer/LCD from the broken glass rubbing against it.

I then removed all the original tape (black) around the frame. I was too thick to left the original tape on, it wasn't registering my touch. Then I put on double side tape and mount the glass. I have no problems with it being too sensitive.

No photos, sorry.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

It's not just Samsung phones. This is one of the easiest phone to take apart, the glass is easy to replace since the glass and digitizer/lcd are separated.

Apple fused the digitizer to the LCD, so you have to take the phone after, remove the digitizer from LCD, not GLASS like Samsung.

considering there is no "glue" used on the screen what glue are you referring to? the adhesive strip that goes around the outside edge of the frame? or the conductive adhesive film that you scraped off between the glass and digitizer?

I'll try it but I have a concern

Hi guys, I cracked my screen last night, everything else works just fine, it's just the screen. I think i'll try replacing the screen, but I didn't understand one thing. After I take off the screen, and that glue, what do I do? Do I have to apply a layer of glue? If so, what kind of glue (links would be great pls) ? Or does the new glass have a layer of glue on it, and just apply it on the lcd? That part is really confusing.

BTW, I am quite sure you can take of the glass without taking the phone apart after looking at several videos on the internet. This is how I will try most probably, heating it up and then starting from a corner and working my way throughout the whole display carefully and then at the end getting the glue off and cleaning the lcd.

I'll document it step by step and if i'm successful everybody else can use it. All the best.

Thanks!!!
