Hey guys,

Anyone managed to separate the LCD from the rest? There s this video on YouTube from this guys vbut he looks extremely skilled. The normal case is that the LCD is broken already so it is easy to remove.

all the repair guys here won't touch the LCD. The only one who said he can try would charge me 100 bucks and I take the risk if he cracks the LCD.

nice guide, but it is a little bit scary
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crotig:
I'm joining you all in the great screen replacement adventure.

I just ordered from FunFoneShop for £88 with next day delivery. I hope it does come tomorrow.

I'm surprised I haven't knackered it before now. I've dropped it several times including once from about 6ft up onto concrete while getting out of my van. The gorilla glass had a few faint scratches after that one. My luck ran out yesterday when it fell off the sofa onto the floor, a 1ft drop. It seemed okay at first but then I noticed a pink stain spreading across the screen and getting darker over the course of the day. Now it's vritually useless.

Thanks to all for the guides and pics. I'll let you know how I get on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crotig:
My new screen arrived this morning, bright and early.

I took me about 1.5 hours to get it done. I did end up mangling the chrome bezel a bit. It snapped on one side and warped slightly when I applied to much heat. It's all working fine now but I'll need to get a replacement bezel if I can as there is gaps which will allow dust and other unwelcomes in.

I took pics but have nowhere to host them just now or I'd put them up.

Thanks again for all the info.:)

what is the link of the video, i also just want to replace my digitizer
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] crotig:
After some usage I've noticed my screen has a slight blue tint on the lowest brightness setting. It goes away when you turn it up though. I guess that's why it was available as a spare part, failed quality control.

I located replacement Bezel on ebay.

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from...alaxy+s+i9000+bezel&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Oooh, silver and gold. It occurs to me though that as I've glued the new screen in place I've very little chance of removing it without damaging it which would make bezel replacement impossible. I mangled my old screen getting it off.:(

Good luck to anyone just wanting to change screen or digitizer.:eek:

They would be much cheaper and if installing this one, you'll never be worried of the "burning out" the Amoled's have.

If you have broken your phone lcd you also can buy this only to change your motherboard en backhousing.done in 20 minutes without dificult steps of glue and maybe broken back button cable.and cost about 105 euro.

Did you tested this ? I broke my display and the product in your link seems to be the fast and the most safe solution.

A friend gave me a samsung i9000 galaxy s, with the interior is completely new and working,but have broken LCD / touch screen, I'm thinking of buying to mount?

There are many difficulties?

Any site where you can buy to send to Portugal?

Ebay is an option?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Jcyber777:
how do you all manage to break the screen?

My galaxy S is always with my keys in my bag and i dropped it a few times

until now it does not have ANY scratches or anything like this!:)

am I a lucky guy?:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nafiganado:
Yeap, you are a lucky guy. I don't risk to put some dangerous stuff together with my Galaxy S, however, I noticed recently a scratch - small and thin, but annoying, it causes small colorful spots because of light refraction that is especially noticeable on white background. Thanks God - it's quite small and situtated quite close to screen edge.

I would not take risk to replace the screen myself! I definitely will go to service center. The risk to get everything ****ed does not cost some 30$... So, when I get more scratches - I will buy new screen on ebay and take it to the service :D Or even buy it right in service center, if price appears almost the same...

p.s. Interesting, if "liquid glass" would decrease this "colorful" effect...

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] devonblue4u:
I haven't read of anybody just replacing only the glass yet. But I have managed to replace only the glass and it works!

I fell skiing at Heavenly on December 27th. The Gorilla Glass did not survive.

I bought the glass from eBay that same night http://www.ebay.com/itm/25095815361...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1340wt_958 for $4.99 + $4.99 ship from an Australian distributor. I arrived today and I started working on it at 1pm. I searched YouTube and found a bunch of videos on how to remove everything up to the digitizer and glass assembly, but nothing after that!

At this point I cracked open the phone and followed the video thinking there was more. The logical think to do would have been to watch the video all the way through at first. And I guess since my SGS works, I'm fortunate that I didn't!

The glass on the phone was completely shattered with no pieces larger than dime left whole. So I started around the top edge first. Once I gain confidence on separating the glass from the thick layer of glue using an Olfa L-2 knife, I started in on the capacitive buttons. Here the glass had shattered to pieces about 1/16 - 1/8th of an inch, relatively easy to remove using the knife to at first wedge, then pry upwards. Both buttons work fine, but I was really careful and it took a bit of time to do. Thinking that was the hardest part was foolish thinking in hindsight...

Clearing the rest of the digitizer is a chore I care not to do again. But it is possible! It took about 3 hours to remove every sliver of glass. As it is like safety glass, it shatters into fragments easily. And once that's done you need to clean up the glue, laced with fine glass dust that can potentially scratch the digitizer. I did it with 50% alcohol and polishing compound. It took the better part of an hour, but it was the only thing I had around the house. Somebody mentioned ethanol on this thread, I'd go with that instead.

You will see a few nicks and scratches on the digitizer. I was will to accept this since I am eyeing a Galaxy Note and this phone is going to to be permanently stationed in the car (the Torque OBDII app works like a dream, it has GPS, is a web browser and plays music though my bluetooth car audio, and can share the 3G data plan. Name a head unit that does all that?). And in all honesty, with the glass installed it looks better than I expected.

To install the glass I used double-sided tape. I heated up the tape with a blow dryer when I sealed everything up, and pressed firmly on all sides to insure a good bond. I was disheartened to find that the digitizer did not respond to every touch. Turns out this was the effect of the warmed glass. As it cooled the touch response time got back to normal. Also be careful of over heating the glass and pressing too hard on the corners of the digitizer. I have a red spot in the edge of a corner I pressed. If I were to do it again, gluing (the type discussed earlier in the thread.) would be the way to go. Finally finished around 6pm. And everything works!

Good luck!

Hi guys, I sat on my galaxy s and I broke my screen. Now I am looking to replace it but the prices on ebay are quite high. There was a link in the first post but unfortunately the site is dead. Does anybody know where I can find the cheapest screen for galaxy s? If you can just post it here or send me a pm. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] vandenbrook:
Dear Gatulis,

Visit ebay.com and search for "i9000 glass" if you need the glass only, which is difficult to replace (see post # 238).

Search ebay for "i9000 screen" or "i9000 display" if you need to replace the whole unit including glass, touch and amoled.

black screen

hi guys!

I bought a new lcd screen + digitizer on ebay. Everything worked fine the first 3 months.

After a while the screen colours were wrong (means yellow was red f.e.). so I decided to open the phone again and to have a look if a cable is not sitting right and this might be the cause.

but now, my screen is black. I hear the sound when the phone is booting but I dont see anything.

do you think the screen is again destroyed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BenjaminX2:
It seems that this is the case.

You could try to reconnect everything, in case some dust caused a bad electrical connection.

SOLVED with 6€ (only glass ) !!!

Tks "devonblue4u" : D

you were the only one with courage like me, and I read your post carefully before you venture into the place of "GLASS ONLY OUTSIDE".

I purchased the glass only by E-Bay about 6 € (arrived in about 10 days) :)

I wanted to say that with my method you put about 2 hours without disassembling the phone!

get yourself a micro optical screwdriver, something hard and plastic is not very sharp, knife and .... the REMOVE SILICONE [/ B] spray ( 3€ ).

spray the spray along the edge of the glass of the phone until it starts to become unstuck from the edge of the glass and try to separate the edge, taking care to contacts of the lower part.

Once separated the plastic lip (helping with screwdrivers and plastic tool and cutter always being careful to touch the glass) to try to divide the 2 glass with the cutter and the spray (always doing dissolve the glue of the adhesive).

after removing all the broken glass, clean the glue touch the glass with alcohol and then remount the board appoggiateci pasting over the glass again with very little glue (I used bostik) being careful not to smudge the glass.

If you made ​​a mistake of gluing always use the "remove silicone" to remove the bostik (or silicon) clean and put the glue.

: D

Good luck.

I would like to thank you, devonblue4u, for such a thorough description of the procedure. I searched a lot and asked a lot but not many have/had the guts to do it.

Congratz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fly_high:
@ Umancini & devonblue4u"

I´ve got the same problem. My Glass is broken, but the Screen is working fine. Did I get it right that you did not have to remove any cable or anything exept the Bezel and the Glass? So that it actually would not even be necessary to remove the back-cover? That sounds to easy.

I broke my glass really stupidly by using my teeth to get it out auf its safety bag due to my hands beeing in use for holding a beer. However, my canine tooth hit the glass right in the corner of the home button and seperated into 7 larger pieces and some minor.

So I would like to just replace the glass and the "outer edge" (it has got quiet some dents) but I´m still not sure how you exactly did it and would be pleased if you can give some further assistance.

Cheers, Fred:)

Edit: Additional question to anybody who did it. Would you recommend to buy Glass and bezel seperately or buy the package where it seems that the glass and the bezel are already bonded? Unfurtunateley I cannot post links, so this is the ebay article number: 280864899347
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Umancini:

Who has had the experience of replacing only the glass, without replacing the whole display? Where I can buy the original Gorilla Glass? Is it difficult to change it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] fly_high:
@Umancini

Do you think this article will simplify the process of replacing the glass?

And you really did not need to unmount the phone? So the steps are:

- removing back cover

- spray silicone remover

- remove the edge carefully

- remove the shattered glass

- clean it all up

- add yome glue to the new glass and but it back on

- glue the (new) edge back to the phone

Am I right?

Cheers again

How to remove metallic frame from Screen

Hi everyone,

I disassemble my phone recently trying to fix something else, and then I screwed the screen ribbon cable. So in order to fix it and to replace that cable, I need to get access to the screen PCB (or I guess so, still not sure where I will attach the cable) and I really don't know how to do this because of the metallic and plastic casing that covers it. (see included pics)

Anyone knows how to do that? :eek:

Your help would be much appreciated.

question - is it possible to purchase only digitizer, or AMOLED separately ?

And whatever the case may be, could I get a link from someone here, or PM, to give me the best price around .. ? I only come up with 80$ + prices, which is ridiculous cause that's the half price of the whole used phone .. ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] terminator123456:
If u only need to replace the digitizer, that could be possible, but if the screen is broken, the only amoled screen i've seen below 80$ are already scratch. So there's not much hope to get what you are looking at...

Its really not very difficult, if you got the right tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Igoritza:
Im not asking about the possibility of doing that, I changed over 100 screens, digitizers, soldered EPROMs.. I just need to know if it's possible to buy digitizer and screen spearately :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] terminator123456:
I will be more precise then :)

Digitizer seems to be sold separetely, (take a look on Ebay Item number:	170830076435) but screens (meaning Amoled screen) are not sold as is and you can only see them sold as a bundle (including screen, digitizer, outer lens glass, and usually also with the front frame)
