N7000 Replenishment Screen

Hello guys,
10 minutes ago my galaxy note N7000 screen cracked in my pocket.
So I need to buy a replenishment screen from Samsung but I simply can't find stores that supplies replenishment parts for it. Do anyone knows where to buy a new Amoled LCD screen for galaxy note ?
Thank you and best regards,
Amid

ebay, took 5 days to ship from HK to NYC. Follow youtube guide in opening the note and use blow dryer/heat gun to loosen the sceen, wedge open with something sharp and slowly tear back the screen gently. You will need the old Wacom sensor from the broken screen so becareful to not to rip it. There is guide in the general section. I broke mine 2 weeks ago and replaced it in a hour. take your time you can get it done.

Thanks man. Just to be sure, the price is about US$ 230,00 for it ? i am not sure if I am looking for the right spare part.

I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-Black-Dig...087?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c65951cd7

I can try but I don´t think this will help the problem. The screen doesn´t show any images anymore, looks like a broken LCD. When you press it, a lot colors appears around it. Do you believe this is the one I need ?
Thank you and best regards

Hmmm no, in that case you will need the 200ish one.

You will need the entire setup, glass, LCD, and Touch. Does not come with Wacom sensor. Looking around you can get them for 230-260. Look for delivery, that makes a huge difference, especially with your phone out of commission.
This is the guy I purchased mine from, but I panic and purchase the first one I saw. If you do some research you will find cheaper, but I got min in 5 days. So I am glad this guy came thru. Good luck, its going to stress you out a bit when you have to remove the screen from the front panel, they are glued on so take your time. Looks like your LCD broke so it is going to crack and shatter further so make sure you do it in area where it is easy to clean. If you look at the front panel after you remove it, you will see one wire that does not come with the replacement one, that is for the wacom sensor, so be careful and don't damage that part, you will need to peel it off and place it back on to the replacement lcd, otherwise your s-pen won't work. It's been 2 weeks, my phone is going strong and no sensor or sceen issues. You should get a more protective case, since you probably already blew close to ~$1000 on this phone by now. I have a casemate, otterbox commuter looks like a good one. Once again good luck, you can do this.

Please stop advising people to do something that is not meant to be done and can possibly damage their phone even more. And most likely look completely rubbish when assembled.
The correct repair part is a complete display assembly including everything - the glass, digitizer, Wacom digitizer, AMOLED, bezel, frame abd home button. It costs around 260 dollars on eBay and is relatively simple to install. By installing the complete assembly you don't need to worry about separating the glass and AMOLED or about the Wacom digitizer, since they are all included. Just remove the screws, back housing and motherboard, disassemble the audio flex cable and front camera flex from the old display and put them into the new one. Most displays also require the old charger port flex and speaker module to be used.

The correct part looks like this, for example: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320843198847

Well mine looks brand new, must be the workmanship ;-P But why flame my advise when he is going to need to do it anyways, the screen is completely useless, as was mine. Why don't you keep your assumption to yourself in how it will look or if he is going to ruin the device. If he decides that he would rather live with a crack screen or someone who is willing to do it, there really isn't much options here. What's up with such negative attitude here. Just trying to show him that it can be done.

Replacement screen with 2 connectors
Hello!
First of all I would like to say Thank you for all the resources provided in this forums!
Could someone please help me to find a replacement screen for the International version of the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 2 connectors? This phone has the physical home button. All the replacements that I've been able to find have just the first connector. I tried to post a photo hoping to help better explain it, but I can't do it yet.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hello, I have got repaired my GN in Samsung service (Slovakia) for 165 €. I have had the same problem. I think, that should be the best way.

Thank you s.magus! I would love to go that route, but I'm in Venezuela, and Samsung is selling the GN, but does not yet have replacement parts. You're right, that will be the best way.

Hi ,
I think Senior member Justis is right... many of us dont want to do a full screen replacement for 220$...when we can just remove the front screen for 20$..many have done this method successfully... U just need to watch a lot of youtube videos on this and be careful/delicate with the procedure... its possible.
So i dont think what he said was a waste.. Pls keep such remarks to yourself.. He was not wasting anyones time.
Infact you are wasting my time making me read your message and give u a reply.
You know what...im doing a screen replacement too... thats what guys do first. njot jump in and do a full replacement for 220 $.:good::good::good:

[Q] How to replace GLASS ONLY on i9100?

Yep, I broke my galaxy. Screen and touch sensor works awesome, but screen is fully shattered. Searching at the forum gave me one positive result: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23644712&postcount=6
But i cant find any guide anywhere. If someone know how to make this kind of operation please leave your post or guide, it would be great. Thanks in advance!

the above is for the digitizer w/glass - the below is for glass ONLY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfuTVjI_Wao

It is very risky to replace the glass only. Doing it this way increases the risk of damaging the AMOLED panel, either by overheating it or scratched/cracked by the broken glass. I've explained it before; if you want to replace the glass only, you'll need to separate the screen assembly from the frame first, then separate the glass from the AMOLED panel. You might end up breaking the panel anyway, so might as well replace the whole thing. But you can give it a go. It should be possible to remove the glass while keeping the AMOLED panel in the frame, because the panel itself is very fragile.

I replaced only the glass on mine.

Hi. This is my story about SUCCESSFULLY replacing only the glass of s2.
Background, you can skip this:
Few months ago I broken the glass of my beloved S2 in an accident, but because I had a screen protector the pieces of glass were kept together and the phone was 100% usable, only the image was distorted because of broken glass.
So I searched the available options: replace the whole display for a price of more than 100euro. Buy a defect s2 with good screen, but didn't found any lower than the previous price.
I had a previous experience with an Ipod Touch with the same problem, when I ordered the glass from ebay and went to a local phone repair shop that destroyed the Ipod. It was usable before going to that shop.
So I decided to give it a try and try to change it myself. I'm a programmer with what can be called poor electronic and hardware skills. So if I was able to do it, and you were able to find this post, you can replace it too. But after seeing some videos I had more confidence on my skills than of those repair specialists that were not careful with the other device.
First I found a clip on youtube about why you CAN'T change only the glass on S2. But I found also the above video with a interesting method, but it required a Molybdenum string that I couldn't found at a good price. Actually I believe that the shipment to Romania made the price to high for the string.
After researching I found the SOLUTION: on a page or youtube clip about how to remove the broken glass. But I've lost the link. Anyway, the procedure was simple. I remember that the video was about replacing the glass on a Galaxy S3.
So I ordered the replacement glass and some adhesive (finally not used) from ebay.
After I got the replacement parts, I opened the phone, you can find somewhere online the instructions how to do it.
For removal I used a pack of plastic poker card. It's needed something to not be to hard to scratch the digitizer, but hard enough to remove the broken pieces of glass.
I started removing the pieces around the Home button to get a feel of the process, and proceeded to remove all the pieces of glass and glue. It took around 3 hours to finish it and 48 cards. You need to lift the broken pieces with great attention and patience. It's not a hard job, but it takes time. Maybe with a hot gun is easier to remove, but when I received the replacement I was anxious to start and did not wait to procure one. During the whole process I kept the phone started to be sure that I did not broke the screen. In case of possible breakage or of a bad scratch I thought that I don't need to continue the procedure. Maybe is not recommended to keep it running, but it gave me a positive feedback that everything is ok.
After removing all the pieces of glass and glue I was able to see some fine scratches with a black background. I used some dust removing solution and then I attached the new glass. I only fitted the new glass on the place and I believe there were some glue left on edges that keep it in place because I did not added any other glue and it did not moved until now. With the new glass the scratches from the digitizer are not visible at all. And the phone works as new, the touchscreen was not damaged at all.
So it's completely possible to replace it.
Before fitting the new glass the cleaned touchscreen was like the touchscreen on S4: it was only needed to hoover with a finger at some distance above, but not touching . I remember that the replacement of my glass was before the release of S4 and when I found about this feature I knew that I already had something like this on my S2.
I don't remember having any other difficulties during the replacement except the removal of broken glasses. And I used this phone continuously without problems since.
Only last night the phone stopped charging and I had to replace the charging port, flex ribbon; but it was not related to glass replacement.
I don't remember if it was needed to open the phone for glass replacement because I opened it when it broke to inspect it and I opened it also few time since then for various tasks.
The total price of replacement parts was below 10$, with glass, screen protector and adhesive ordered from ebay. I ordered also a case to protect the edges for future dropping and was a smart investment. The pack of cards I had from poker set, but It shouldn't be so expensive.
Success with your replacement.

Don't try this at home kids...
I now back to my desire z after the galaxy screen is toast. JUST the heating alone destroyed it. ... Now gonna buy the LCD/screen assembly and do it right.
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app

if you are not a technician, I suggest you give it to someone REALLY capable of, what do you mean it is not at all easy and the risk of doing damage is very high.
Otherwise follow the advice that was given to you, buy the whole block

Necro thread, but I agree, it is not worth doing so. In order to be done properly, you need to have a very thin wire to separate the two pieces. Not something i would do myself. Much better to replace the whole assembly instead.

HTC One V Screen replacement

I had broken my One V's Display Glass screen a month ago, the HTC authorized service center informed that the LCD as well as the display glass screen has to be replaced even though just the screen is damaged, the LCD is fine. They said that the replacement part comes bundled with LCD and the glass screen. The cost of replacement will come to Rs.5000 (~100$)
I searched ebay and found replacement glass screens available for as low as 20$.
Should I buy the replacement screen available on ebay? I have no experience in cell phone repairs and this will be risky.

IF you have no experience i suggest you go to the service centre as you COULD damage your phone further more...

Isn't the One V's LCD fused to the glass and inseparable? Those Ebay sellers are probably misleading you.
If you want to try anyway, you should have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w96ldQq5Q2k to see what's involved.
This is what I had read... "It’s also laminated to the glass front, making for superb viewing angles" from the Verge review (http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/18/2950522/htc-one-v-review#section_4)

I have replaced countless touch screens in my life, but even I won't really think about the V because of the unibody housing. Even with proper instructions and good quality tools and materials (silica glue, alcohol for cleaning and so on...) it will be hell of a job. I personaly don't think that $100 is a high price for OEM parts replaced by the authorised service.

they are not fused together, just glued with special silica glue and tempered. It is replaceable, but it is hard enough for a pro.
If you want to maintain the good quality of the display, you will need to clean troughoutly the LCD with absolute alcohol, or any spec. cleaning liquid in a "cleen room" for not to contaminate it after cleaning, then glue them together with proper silica glue evenly troughout the whole contour of the screen. It is hard work and damn expensive, thus oem will replace the whole screen-touch screen parts.

Thanks for the opinions. I will go with replacement from service center.

Same here!
Hey. I dropped my One V from the bed today morning! :crying: It got a huge crack on the top left!
The crack is not on "the screen" but it still looks pretty awful :-( I have attached the pics. See the last pic for the crack.
What should i do? Please suggest cost-effective methods. Any help is appreciated.

I thought one V had Corning gorilla glass.
It's not supposed to break that easily wtf?

You can smash a diamond with a hammer. Like Gorilla glass, it is very hard and almost impossible to scratch, but can be easily shattered by sufficient impact shock.

My touch screen is seriously damaged,and should I do it by myself?
My idea is break the touch screen carefully to avoid damage the LCD screen,does it possible?
My first phone is touch diamond and have the same problem....Then I damaged the touch screen and the lcd screen both....I do not want it happened again...
Anyone can give my some advice?
It is too expensive for me to replace it by service centre....And some pros says that will takes $30 to help me.....
Thx

Has anyone had success(or failure) with this yet?

Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w96ldQq5Q2k
If you know what is going on, than try. If not then no. A pro is needed, if you want good product at the and.

just a heads up guys, a CDMA Screen will NOT work on the GSM phone

One V does not come with Corning gorilla glass.. This was discussed even in some other threads. Even if it have, gorilla glass will only be scratch-resistant and not break-resistant.

I'm getting mine fixed tomorrow as ive cracked the screen also.
The shop thats fixing it confirmed the lcd is bundled with the glass.
It's costing me £50 for the screen and £20 to fit it.
these screens seem very easy to break as my wife has cracked hers now also so I suppose the golden rule is be extra careful with these phones.
I had a wildfire a wildfire s and a desire and never cracked one of them and i'd dropped them all a lot harder than my hov ( which only fell 2ft ). I conclude its down to the raised effect of the glass.

this is because HOV doesn't come with gorilla glass

YouTube maybe???
this post had no solutions so I just opened YOUTUBE and searched for it

Apparently no, or none that can be brought off from a shelf. Cured silica based optical glue can only be dissolved with highly toxic and flammable solutions only. You can altough soften them with denaturetad alcohol or xylene, but there is a high chance you damage the display panel itself with them. Altoug I am talking about the dismantling of the touch panel and the display panel here.
The machine and the display unit (the two of them together) is just glued with standard heat activated glue, it can be softened with denaturated alcohol (which does not harms the other parts) or heat, and the the unit can be brought of from the phone (with phisical force of course). You can glue it together again with standard double sided glue tapes (2 or 1mm width) you can ebay them for. I haven't dismantled One V as of now, but I had a Desire X wich also had a unibody aluminium housing and a unified display panel, but there the whole unit was damaged, so damaging them wasn't a problem when dismantling it, and a prebuild unit was the replacement.

Anybody ever replaced the digitizer?

Hi Guys
I bought a full housing and digitizer on ebay for this phone (original parts) because I got it second hand and the case is a little bit too scratched and nicked for my liking (I'm fussy I know, but I got it for a steal because I swapped my old BlackBerry 8520 for it the guy couldn't live without BBM). I tried searching on youtube and everywhere else on the net but nobody seems to have a tutorial on how the digitizer disconnects from the front housing All I could find was tuts on a Galaxy Ace and other phones but not this one.
So my question is, has anybody ever performed an operation like this on this phone? And if so, is the digitizer glued to front housing or (even worse) glued to the lcd as well? The Galaxy Ace is glued to the front housing but can be removed with a hair dryer by heating the glue carefully and prying it apart. I have the detailed service manual for this phone from Samfirmware but it doesn't show anything about glue concerning the digitizer.
I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive and I am trying to prepare myself for what will be in store for me. If I can successfully change the entire housing, phone will be brand new again

Actually your unboxing post has helped me a lot At least the lcd is not glued in (from what I can see) so big thanks to you bro :highfive:
I have gotten the digitizer plus housing so I can throw the old (glued) one away and just stick down the new digitizer to housing. By the way there are a total of 8 plastic points where the cover is attached, so yeah it is hard to get off but the Level 2 Service manual explains it nicely

[Q] Shattered glass

So, I shattered the glass on my Galaxy S3 today. It's pretty messed up (see the attached picture), but the touch works, even in the damaged areas. So it seems it's only the glass that needs to be replaced, with something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blue-Fron...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item417515ee67
Correct?

Yep, goodluck. Replaced the same on my Galaxy Note 2. all good now.

Yeah.... if i were you and have the funds, I would replace the complete assembly ($100-$150 on ebay) and be happy.
I shattered the screen on mine and replaced the digitizer alone and now the screen has freezing/unresponsive issues. I should of known better and replaced the complete assembly, I got what i payed for, literally less than that actually. Now i have a semi-new gs3 collecting dust until i save up for a complete lcd.

The screen seems to work fine, touch/responsiveness is working fine in the areas. I have no intention of spending the £100-120 on a complete new screen (again...). I'd rather save that for a Nexus 5.
I'll post again when I receive the part and it's been replaced.

Mine was working fine with cracked digitizer as well. The problems started with new digitizer. Seems that when typing hard enough the digitizer touches LCD and causes to freeze up. Anyways, Good luck.

Actually the glass on an s3 is just that, glass. The digitizer is fused together with the LCD. However glass is glued to the LCD which can make it very difficult to replace. If you've never taken on the repair of a screen before then I would say you'll be more likely to break the LCD than not in your replacement of the glass. But again it is possible if you are very slow and very careful. As someone else mentioned though it's much easier to replace the whole assembly.

It didn't went well. I wasn't too carefull. In the bottom, the glass was too shattered, so when I tried to lift it, a piece with glue got stock and lifted the digitizer. So now that don't work. I'm not gonna spend £100-120 on a new digitizer, I'm gonna settle for my good old Nokia 6300i (and Nexus 7...) and wait for the Nexus 5.

I would wait for the n5.. gs3 is a dying trend already.

Its hard like everyone said , if your really gunna do it watch videos online and be prepared. If you know anyone that has done it successfully ask for help or tips
ouch didnt see u tried it already

the same happened to me on my wife's white sgs3 trying to be the savior of the day turned out to be an expensive digitizer replacement of $200 instead of the $8 glass replacement. I rushed the glass removal and cracked the lcd screen. I could have ordered one on ebay for $100 but wife needs the phone the next day so i decided to get it repaired locally.

Just replace the glass. A lot of care for changing it, but it is not so hard to do. I did it 2 weeks ago, and all is all right.

My 2 cents

Wanted to warn that changing the glass is not for everyone. It takes patience and zen. If you rush it, you will likely break LCD and spend even more $$$ that you would have otherwise. Also following notes:
1. Watch at least a couple of youtube videos before starting.
2. Heavy duty heat blower works much better than a hair dryer. Of course, don't go crazy, as it's possible to melt the phone with it
3. S III has a wire at the bottom (the one which goes to the buttons). If you damage it, you will need to replace whole LCD, there is [almost] no chance you will be able to fix this wire. So, always start removing glass starting with the top of the phone
4. Heavily cracked glass is hard to remove, as it crumbles. To make it easier, a) put a scotch tape on top of glass, so that the small pieces stick to it, and b) use a lot of heat
5. Everybody advises to use plastic tools, personally I used swiss army knife with high level of success, and never had a problem scratching LCD. Your mileage may vary, but using metal blade certainly makes life much easier, especially in heavily cracked glass situation.
6. If you do use blade, it often is enough to get blade just a little bit under a glass, and then simply apply heat. Big chunks will unglue all by themselves.
7. Remember, that failure is always an option. Don't use it on the phone, if you know that you desperately need it working right this day, if you don't have a plan B.

same freezing issue on mine... apparently the hardness of Gorilla2 is much greater than the knockoff glass replacements. The replacement glass on ebay and kijiji may not be authentic and that is why it bends slightly when pressed harder (in fact mine cracked completely when I applied too much pressure)

i replaced my glass too (about month ago), and discovered that , the "freezing issue" come's when you press too hard.. that the glass touches lcd.
after quick google-ing , i've found that they suggest to apply uv glue (octa glue) , to fix that.
have somebody tried that ? is it worth that much effort to mess with liquid glue ?

I've heard about that glue too. I'm considering switching mine, because when I repaired I reused the glue of the original glass, and know I had dust between the glass and the lcd -.-
My concern is about the uv light, don't know if we could put in the sun to substitute it.

I was researching how to replace the glass on an iPhone not too long ago and watched a video where the guy used the UV bonding agent. Long story short he said you can use sunlight to cure it but it takes substantially longer than using a UV lamp. I don't know exact time for sunlight but apparently it would work.
Also it appeared to be a long delicate process of removing the current glue from the digitizer and LCD without damaging it. But I'm sure anyone who has already replaced the glass knows how tedious the process is.

it's not that hard to remove factory gle there..
for example, i removed mine, by rolling the glue with fingers.
just make sure, that you don't apply too much pressure to lcd.
and after that, clean up lcd form dust/fingerprints, and you are good to go.
and for removing glass, i used usual/ stronger kitchen knife (attached picture).

i replaced my glass 3 months ago.
i use normal hair dryer to remove glass and glass comes out almost as whole except for small broken pieces.
i think my scratch guard help in that.
i didnt use any additional glue or uv light.
nonresponsive screen is issue but only when you press too hard and press of power button resolve this issue.
but whole process of replacing galss took 2hrs
