Since my son as broken his screen and I replacet it, I thought I would share my experience :o

There are TWO types of replacement kit you can buy for the SIII. The one on this video contains the glass, lcd and digitizer, and you have to deal with the very complex part of removing the old one from the frame.

But that's not how it is supposed to be done. There is a Samsung part that contains the bezel as well, and this is what you really want. The part number is GH97-13630A for a blue SIII (and I think B for a white one). You can google it to find vendor accros the globe.

The screen, digitizer,... all come attached to the metallic frame, and replacing it is much much easier than having to get the heat out :D. As a side comment, the big white label behind the battery can be transfered easily to the new frame as well, it does come off pretty easily.

Hope this helps (but don't break your SIII is even a better advice !)

Where can I buy one of these for pebble blue I cannot find any, anywhere!
[Galaxy S III General] jfd107:
Hey head over to www.mobilehq.com.au. as the person stated above there are two types. And they sell the one with the frame so it makes it a 5min job. I recently just dropped my s3 so I have a replacement kit coming either Tuesday or Wednesday from these guys. Was only $250 too :)

[Galaxy S III General] tehsprayer:
Thanks will look into it. I does this place ship it to Canada because it's from Australia?
[Galaxy S III General] jfd107:
hope this helps

this is from their site. hope it helps:

1. Where do you deliver to?:

Mobile HQ delivers its spare parts all over Australia. We can ship internationally, but please note the package does not come with any tracking notes available, please refer to www.auspost.com.au for more on delivery times for international parcels. Please get in contact with us before placing an international order if you have any questions about delivery times or procedures.
[Galaxy S III General] tehsprayer:
I was just talking to customer service and they said they stopped shipping internationally because of problems and they are going to update the website. I found parts4mobiles has anyone ever bought a digitizer from then and are they own and like 100 percent genuine?
[Galaxy S III General] 3d_jc:
Yes, parts4mobile is legit, that's where i bought mine. It did come where well packed, in a official samsung spare part case. They shipped it the same day i bought it, with Royal mail and tracking number. I'm not in the UK, but they did ship abroad without issues (but still whitin Europe, i do not know if they will ship to Canada, but I would think so). You can drop them an email, they where extremely responsive for me.

best regards

I could be proved wrong but I know from other phones that it's rather difficult to remove the digitizer from the glass.

I prefer to replace the lcd screen combo. A lot simpler.
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
Carpet or not, side drops are the worst thing ever, with the rounded edges and the screen being round at the corners, it breaks the screen when it get's dropped on the side.

Buy a double sided case, with absorbent gel material and hard covering, or simply don't drop the phone on the sides.

screen rim replacement?

i take it that its not an easy/cheap task to replace the rim around the screen? :(
[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
the rim of the phone and the frame is one piece, the easiest is to buy the replacement screen with frame together which is available.

[Galaxy S III General] nickmatine:
you CAN NOT change only the glass. The digitizer and glass are glued together on all surface (not only on sides, margins) with a special transparent glue. They sell on ebay because they know you gone a buy after a full digitizer + LCD

[Galaxy S III General] mellospace:
I have a question about screen lcd/digitizer replacement . I have an AT&T GS3 with a cracked screen, can it be replaced by using a working lcd/digitizer from a Sprint GS3? Are they compatible (same part?) and has anyone done this before?

I see on ebay some sellers selling the same for lcd/digitizer for at&t i747 and t-mobile t999, some others sell the same lcd/digitizer for all galaxy s3, and some others list the sprint one only for sprint gs3. Thats what got me confused.

Thanks for your input on this matter and if anyone can clarify this for me it will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] pnikkosis:
only the glass

I'm loocking for a way to replace only the glass, can't this be done? in ebay there are lots of replacement for $20 just for the glass, I have everything working, except I dropped the phone and it cracked the glass a little. I bought (i posted the link here but i'm prevented of it)

It's just the glass, not the screen, can't this be replaced?

But it's possible to change only the frame?

Today my S3 fell down :crying: the screen it's ok, the back cover it's ok bat the frame is chipped.

I bought it 8 days ago :crying: :crying: :crying:

please tell me it's possible and it's not too expensive
[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
it is possible, but be prepared to buy a new screen, about USD 200
[Galaxy S III General] oblib__:
Be careful with replacement screen/front housing purchases. The I9300 and i747 are not compatible, for example. The motherboard of one does not fit in the housing of the other.

See my thread here for pictures of what some idiot did when he got the wrong parts:

[Galaxy S III General] skylancer:
You are totally wrong!!! The glass and digitizer are NOT glued together on all surface only surrounded, please review the video and you can see that only the digitalizer are completely glued to the body.

You can move forward to the time 11:34 from the video, then you can see the glass came off first before the digitalizer but he was doing it too deep/hard and make the digitalizer cracked during the process. Otherwise he can only replace the screen/glass and no more messing with the glued part inorder to take off the digitalizer.

i thought the same and almost ****ed my screen on galaxy s2. dont know how it is on S3 but on S2 the glass is stuck to the screen with some silicone. u can try, nothing to lose, but try to be VERY careful as the display itself is very fragile! :) and yeah u need to find some silicone to stick it to the new glass, unless it comes with the replacement glass :))

My brother's t999 screen crack but the phone was still functional(everything work fine). I decide to replace it with glass and followed this tutorial. (watch?v=W4Gx5fLy0NQ) . I manage to replace the glass with little trouble. Right after I placed the glass on the phone I decide to to turn it on to see if it works before glueing it all the way but no image come up(the phone still turn on with all the light working). I was wondering it what could I have done wrong? I was very careful. I notice that the glass is not glue all the way to the LCD(went i press the screen I feel a little gap). Any advise what can I do? Could something come unhook/unsolder while replacing the screen?

replacing housing with screen

Wouldn't it be easier, and possibly cheaper, to fixed a cracked screen by putting a phone's motherboard into a "new" phone housing with screen and digitizer? I see a lot sold on eBay for under a $150, though used. Would it work? Or are there integrated circuits on the housing that won't without the original motherboard?

[Galaxy S III General] VentureForth:
My wife had a simple crack in her screen. I tried to do this "simple" replacement by just replacing the glass portion which only cost $10. I must say that of all the repairs I've attempted from the early Blackberry days, this one was about the most difficult. In fact I FAILED - which is not unusual, but this time it cost me a LOT.

As I gently tried to pry the glass from the bezel, apparently the LCD is FUSED to the front glass. I tried to separate the glass from the digitizer and LCD, but as I did, the LCD began to SHATTER. Now I have an S3 where the LCD won't even power on at all. I can't get my data off of it because it's locked and KIES doesn't work unless your phone is unlocked.

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION:

I used my son's upgrade to get my wife back up and running with an identical S3. But she is PISSED that I didn't back up her contacts, data, pics, vids, music, etc.

CAN I replace the LCD/GLASS/BEZEL assembly from my new phone to the broken one without losing her data? In other words, if I just swap the front bezel assembly (which I understand is a quick job), will it WIPE my phone, or will the data stay intact?

Eventually, I would like to get a replacement LCD/Digitizer/Bezel/Glass when the prices drop (they've already dropped to $199), and then I can repair the new phone to like new.

ANY help would be graciously appreciated - even if you can tell me how to get my data off the locked phone with or without Kies, that'd be a great help (note: I HAVE tried mounting it - my PC sees it, but it won't access the directory ALSO because it's locked).

THANKS!
[Galaxy S III General] ce_rob:
so i've got a semi-related question.

recently cracked the glass on my s3; it wasn't TOO bad and the display itself underneath wasn't cracked at all. the glass/digitizer has been removed but it seems as though the display is glued the EFF onto the chassis. i purchased an entirely new housing/chassis on ebay (wanted a color change :P) and was wondering - how can i pull the display off the old chassis without damaging it? would using a blow dryer work well enough to pull it off, then re-adhere it to the new chassis? if so, i'm assuming it'd be safer to blow dry that area from the back/not directly onto the display itself? or is it too delicate to even attempt?

thanks for any/all responses!

This is rrally easy to do if you are not an idiot and have the correct supplies and tools.

You need;

Heat gun (actual heat gun, not hairdryer, needs 300 degrees)

Isopropyl alcohol

Plastic pry tool

UV cure LOCA glue

Replacement glass

Possibly replacement sticker tape for the rim of the phone but usually you can salvage the old one if you do it right.

Ive done it to mine. It was easy. Took about 45 minutes. Requires patience and steady hand.

S3 screen cracked

HI,

Yesterday unfortunately my friend dropped his S3 on a floor and it got a crack as long as a thumb. We visited our nearest Samsung service center to inquire about the cost to replace. They quoted Rs 7000/- (Approx. 130$) here in India. And we were told that S3 touch screen will be replaced.

The LED and the touch works flawlessly, but then is it required to replace the touch buttons too? Or we can just buy a S3 glass from amazon with will cost 8$ and then take out the Home button, and touch buttons circuits from the cracked screen?

Please advice as it would save 80% of the cost for my friend.

Thanks

conductive paste

Does anyone know what type of conductive paste is used between the front panel assembly and the main board where the ground traces are?

I had to replace the screen on my phone and the new front assembly came without that material in place. It's impossible to transfer it from the old frame to the new one since it's dried and just flakes off.

I did test the material with a multi meter and it is conductive to the main frame so I know it's a conductive material.

I am NOT referring to the thermal compound for the CPU but the brown colored material surrounding that area.

Thanks.
