[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] afterglow:
no you have to change both.you cannot change the outer glass alone.it has a ribbon cable that is connected onto it someway and that cable goes to the digitizer....so its virtually impossible.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

i recently changed my damaged LCD screen and outer glass with one i got sent from ebay.

i m fairly sure 99% i connected everything perfectly and made no mistake due to the fact that i ve read a few guides including this topic plus some videos on youtube and i was extra cautious about it.i used the correct tools and everything.

my problem is that since i replaced the digitizer and LCD, i now boot the phone and the screen does not show anything. only the buttons are lit for a sec or two everytime i press them which is normal.

how on earth can i try checking the digitizer and LCD screen if it is actually ok and i wasnt tricked or sent a damaged one from the guy on ebay?

is there a way?maybe with the use of a voltmeter or something?

any help appreciated!

thanks! :)

Broke mine...

It's NOT the same glue as in the S3, S1 and S2 can't have glass only changed. Check Le55ons on youtube... If you are going to try it make sure the glass is smached up GOOD, as in many TINY pieces. The first half went fine for me, but when I got to the larger glass parts I cracked the touch layer. Bummer(!). Newt time I'll try to smash some more of the screen with a big nail or something. Could work.

On S3 I completely removed a FULL glass and put it on a different screen. It's ok since its a different adhesive much softer, like a gel.

Good luck!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] s3mtex:
Any luck?

I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25C3ymJdkVI and i have another glass from a phone that have display broken.

I will give a try next days, i have to find something to clean the remaining glue from glass and display (if i will be able to separate the two parts)

Any news from you?!

OK, I replaced my broken screen with the part of eBay the one with the frame and microphone, since its easier and its nearly the same price as screen +digitizer.

Now the phone look as new, because the frame got replaced too, but I can't control the brightness anymore, It stays on max, auto brightness doesn't work too, I'm using screen filter as the only workaround.

The lux sensor works OK cause I see it changing..

Also when I put the phone in download mode, I don't see the android logo, just black screen, but I know it enters cause Odin recognize it.

Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] RoMadrid:
THANKS
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] s3mtex:
Strange, the screen was new?

It was for GT-i9000? I have read somewhere that are some korean versions of the screen that looks the same.

In theory the brightness is given by motherboard by increase or dimming the voltage for the leds. maybe one of the contacts are imperfect.

With the old screen, if you make the connection now without replacing (maybe you can connect the battery and the old screen with case open) the brightness is working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] elektroda:
So after something more than 3 months my replacement screen went out yesterday. :crying: I tried reassembling it hoping screen ribbon has loose connector, but no, no go for me. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable ordering again from ebay. :rolleyes: On the other hand if I take it to local shop for repair it would cost more 10/10 condition used one. I really feel bad about this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Luiz.:
Congratulations that you repaired it well.

What did you use for heating the front panel? And about that old display, were both components (SAMOLED panel and glass digitezer) glued to each other? My point is that I got there little dust i would like to remove it, so is it possible or it's demountable unit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yrizan:
For heating a hairdryer will do :). Be careful so the device dont get to hot. Im sorry to say about the digitizer and samoled screen. The comes glued together from the factory and almost impossible to take apart without breaking anything.

For the heating of the glass part just consentrate on top on bottom of the glas, thats where most of the are placed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yrizan:
Here is the old screen after i got it off the phone. Its impossible to remove without breaking it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yrizan:
For those who have problems melting the glue, a sharp knife or a flat screwdriver around the edge will do. Just force the old screen off. Be carefull with the metallic ring around the screen so it dont take to much damage. There is nothing under the screens edges that can take damage, only a wire from the center of the glas down to the home button. And from earlier posts, be carefull with the back and option butto, as there is censors glued to the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eRajesh:
My phone has dropped like 10-12 times from my hand on the marble floor from a pretty good height. Nothing until now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Luiz.:
Which reseller did you pick up on ebay? and pls would you look at ruins of old display and tell me if there is some space between digitizer and display itself. I'm just try find out some method how remove that dust under digitizer (got there glistening sawdust at the right left edge it's not metal - doesn't react with magnet). I thought that i use needle to puncture glue which links display and digitizer and then I'll be able to move that dust by spike of needle. So i hope that glue is plastic and nedlee will go through.

and one more question is are there any 'void' stickers inside? Thx for tips

Please make sure never to hold a baby. Ever. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Randy Malkoski:
Hello,

I also dropped my Glaxy S (admittedly from 5+ feet onto concrete with no case - my fault, don't ask) and was looking to replace the screen / digitizer. Thank you soooo much for posting; yours is the first I was able to find with any sort of detailed instructions / hope for success.

I was wondering if you could post a link to where you purchased your parts from? If you are unable to post links yet (I know that I'm not able) a PM would be wondeful.

Thanks so much again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Randy Malkoski:
Also... what kind of glue did you buy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I'm propably going to use some soft glue like silicone. I think that it could work as a bumper between screen and chassis so it could maybe withstand drops better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Removed my screen today, now waiting for new arriving from Hong Kong. I took couple of photos after the screen was removed. You can see the two sensors at the bottom where I had to be very careful when removing screen. It felt like they would rip apart anytime. My luck was that the glue used was very soft and by prying very slowly the screen removed easily. Took about 30min to remove but would have gone faster if my screen wouldn't been shattered near home button. Little glass and amoled pieces are everywhere. I recommend to keep safety glasses on when removing screen because it shatters easily and pieces fly long way. My hand is now like a disco ball. Tools used are seen on the photos. I also used a little kitchen knife but not much so I didn't include it in the photo. There are still little pieces of glass which I have to remove before applying new screen. Gotta figure out how to remove those.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
New screen arrived. Now to install it. I will post some photos before install and after. Btw. New screen has newer component than old one. New screens rev. is 7.7 and old one is 7.6. Maybe not a big difference in use but we'll see.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] green0153:
Great work and many thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Okay so screen install was a success, kind of... I used some double sided carpet tape to glue screen on chassis. There was some glue already on the new screen so I used tape only on corners. Hence there is no photo where you could see where I placed tape bits. I should have looked the new screen better because it didn't have the speaker shield with it. Now my phone does not have that shield :S There's a photo about that. Second weird thing is that it looks like the screen is misaligned to the digitizer. You can see this copper colored edge on the top edge of screen. There's photo about that also. Takes some time to be used to that :S Installed the screen and packed all up. Then I was afraid that my install was not successfull because phone wouldn't boot. My luck was that battery was dead so plugged phone to wall and screen came alive with battery loading logo. Don't know yet that is the screen misaligned. Have to wait it charge full and boot up. Then look some photos in gallery and compare them to photos on computer. I hope that there's no problem. I would hate send it back to hong kong. So here are the photos I mentioned about.

PS. Maybe the rev. difference mentioned earlier is that copper edge :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Had to remove new screen because it was faulty. I was missing like ~10 or more pixel lines on bottom. I'm sending package back to Hong Kong tomorrow. About two weeks and I should have new screen again. I also have to come up with a different way to attach screen to chassis. Tape did not hold screen well. It was too easy to remove screen this time :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
maybe try using a glue gun?

you only need just a very thin layer, not a full drop

if you made a mistake, just wait for it to cool down, then it peels of easy and leaves no residue when cold

glass is broken

hey

see my photos and let me know what i have to change but my amoled screen is ok but my glass is damaged
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I think that it's pretty much impossible to change only the glass. Display is glued rock hard to the glass. Removing glass would tear the super thin amoled display. Sorry m8
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yrizan:
I had the same problem. Broken glas and ok amoled. Impossible to change only the glas. The other problem. Glas and amoled is not sold separatly, you have to buy both for 99$.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yrizan:
The perfect glue for the jobb is this one. (see picture)

It melt around 120 celsius. Have a rubbery feeling and fill out if its uneven under the screen. I used the backend of a matchstick to apply it. After about 14 days, my screen stil sitt perfectly in place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
What an coincidence. I just bought that glue to glue my screen back on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] itdoe:
Huge thanks to pekkala89 for "pioneering" the path to the DIY replacing the digitizer of SGS. I was a bit afraid being left with an expensive technological "empty box".

I succeeded to remove the broken amoled/digitizer touchscreen of my SGS.

Now, I'm awaiting the new one within a week or two (coming from Hong-Kong). Hopefully, I'd be able to get my SGS revival ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Thank you for your compliments. I'm trying to help this community as much as possible regarding the screen change.

PS. My screen has arrived Hong Kong and I'm now waiting my seller to send new one back. Yesterday he said that the package has not arrived but my post tracking service says otherwise. Dunno has it reached right address but I'm all fingers crossed to get new screen back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ronalgps:
hey

i just get my new screen and to mount it is really difficult but after 50 minute trying to mount than it work pretty good but i miss the led of back is really lil but

the screen work very well if you know how to fix this led plx let me know

about the glue i still dont push nothing in it

see photos below
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I really don't know how to fix it. You may have pulled screen too much when removing it that it has damaged the led. You could try to wiggle the connectors for loose connections and rub the led little bit so if there is a little gap in some connection it could return back.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] diehard2222:
so did you fix your phone yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
In a matter of fact, YES. I've been test running it for two days to figure out is it good or damaged somehow. I didn't want to post anything before I was sure it's good. This time I remembered to put the speaker mesh on place before gluing screen down. I used plastic padding's repair extreme glue. For now screen has been holding tight. Now I can't leave my phone alone because it's many weeks I've used it last :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] diehard2222:
nice job mate. screen shots? thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
I'm surprised no one has tried to have a windshield repair done to their screen. NOVUS uses clear resins to fill cracks and chips in windshields and restore them to like new quality. Anyone looked into this? I know I would as I wouldn't want to sacrifice my SAMOLED.

Look here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Here you go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Orcie:
Bought a screen on ebay aswell (waiting on it). Two samsung support points recommended not to send it in. I could be lucky otherwise I was charged about the same costs a display is charged for on ebay. I will just patiently remove the display and residu glue put in another. I do regret buying the i9000. Only 1.5 months old and handelded it like a baby. Now I can see bye bye to my garantee.

I will try to make a step by step guide!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
Notice the huge difference in glass thickness between an auto windscreen and a Galaxy S screen. Resin-based repairs rely on that thickness (and the fact that the crack is not all the way through) to work. Besides that, resin repairs are not optically clear, you get some strange focal effects at the repair site. On a windscreen this is fine, on a 4" display screen, not so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
Hey! By all means do an guide. I'm busy with school and don't have time to make one. BTW. You contacted my friend thru irc. If you have some questions, send pm to me here at XDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MKVFTW:
Im assuming that the screen/lcd assembly's are interchangable for the i9000 and the i9000m correct?

Yes, I suppose so.

Galaxy S - i9000

I had to change a broken screen for a customer today. First I9000 I had to change screen on. This thread was a great help actually. Thank you guys :)

I have some photos for you. In the beginning it looked messy:

photo 1

I took the outer bezel from the chassis so I could clean all the old glue/adhesive. I used ethanol to clean off the adhesive.

Photo 2

Through there was some adhesive on the new screen, I decided to use some more. I used double sided tape from 3M 300LS, the one used to glue iphone digitizer to the frame. I cut the pieces as good as I could :)

Photo 3

Thank you once again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
That glue which is already on the screen is not enough to hold the screen down. I've already posted a photo of the glue I used. It's plastic puddings repair extreme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Orcie:
Same thing happend to me. Anyone knows how to replace it. And a place to get the part?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hazeline:
O.O is this happening again? dust coming in to the display.. My previous phone was Omnia II and it has dust filling up between the digitizer and the screen itself, i tried to disassemble the unit and in the end i cracked up the screen, did not know it is very very weak. I do hope that this model does not have dust coming in again...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mike.sw:
Guys are these replacements screens are really Samsung's SAMOLED screens?

I know there's a huge shortage with these (even rumors in mobile-review.com that the Galaxy S isn't on the production line anymore due to that shortage).

Maybe someone can post a photos of the original screen and replacement screen side by side?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pharaohdk:
this requires the user to have two phones, why not just read the freaking thread and see that people say it is indeed a samoled, and ofc read the comments of sellers on ebay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mike.sw:
First of all I did read the whole thread.

Second of all it does requires the user to have to phones or have a friend with same phone or have a family member with the same phone (which isn't that hard to find since SGS is really popular device today).

Third, "People say" a lot of things. People say every FW fixed the GPS issues, people say this FW is the offical one, I can go on with my examples.

And last thing, what's up with the attitude? You don't feel like helping? Don't answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pharaohdk:
so your argument is that people say different things and eithers its true or not, yet you ask for them to reply if its a genuin screen... do you see the flaw there ?

sure its a popular phone sold 1mill+ but to my knowlege there are mora than 2bill ppl in the world, so its still somewhat rare.

why my attitude? well go figure you aska question which have been answered, then come back saying you have read it yet some reason dont trust the replys thats already been given.

furthermore the attitude was in gernal towards anyone who keeps asking stuff thats been asked if they use the search option
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mike.sw:
No, my argument is that I ask something that has been not prooven here. The fact that the screen works does not makes it a SAMOLED screen (and btw yea there were one faulty screen down the road here so maybe you should read the whole thread).

I asked a reasonable question, if someone can help me - please do, I didn't demand anything or called anyone a lier.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Orcie:
I have tested the screen in my SGS. But not installed it permanently because I broke the sensorbuttons. New part is being delivered today. But when I was testing the ebay screen. I did not have any doubt it is not an samoled. When I am done I can post picture if you want. I am willing to test it but dunno what is a good way to make 100% sure is is samoled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mike.sw:
Thanks Orcie!

Can you link us to the eBay store you bought your screen from?

I see that some of the sellers put it as "LCD replacement screen" while others say "samoled replacement screen".. I wonder what you bought because eBay is the place where small latters matter ;)

Buttons not working now.

Thanks everyone for all of your help. I just replaced the screen on my i9000. Now none of the buttons on the bottom of the screen work (home, settings, return). I took it all apart to make sure I didn't forget to connect anything, but it is all put back together properly as far as I can see.

I used double sided tape instead of glue to put the screen back on, BUT I was VERY careful not to break the sensors under the buttons. I'm kind of lost here. HELP!

Hey

my screen is shattered but is still held together and all the software still works (text messages, camera, phone etc).

I have bought a orginal screen from ebay today with the removal tool and was going to follow all your help, but the mobile shop repair bloke will charge we £50 to send the phone away for repair (£10 more than the screen cost).

I can sell the screen on to someone if they like and i will get the details as the bloke who is fixing mine as he will repair all via post.

i will keep you all updated but would like to thank all of you for your help, you lot are true techno legends!

depend on my screen's situation , are those parts (digitizer+screen) all what I need to fix the screen?

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Taifuuni89:
I suppose there's nothing wrong more than your display. Digitizer has to be changed also because it's glued to the display. You could also try this before ordering. Open the back so you can see the motherboard. Unplug the widest flat connector you see and press it back on. That could do the trick if there's some lint harming the display.
