Hi friends,
my S4 died a few times ago. For now, i'm using an S3, but I want to return to using S4 again.
I want to buy a motherboard from aliexpress and repair it by myself, but I don't know how to choose the right version (there are many? I'm from Italy).
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance !
Look at the original motherboard for any markings. You could have the gt-9500, gt-9505, etc.

Hey there!
Like many of you here, i have a S3 with a sudden death.
The thing is: i'm from Brazil and bought my phone in China, so the local authorized technical support refuses to help me, because he says it's very hard to register the IMEI number from a imported phone.
I think my only way out is to buy another motherboard and replace it myself, but again, i can't find any here in Brazil, so i'll have to buy from eBay on US and Canada or UK.
Anyone here knows to do it? I already teared my phone apart and know how to manually replace the board, but what about the IMEI number? It´s possible to do that?
There's any other problems or difficulties i might find on the way?
Thank you so much for all our help, you guys have been great here!

Hi guys,
What i wanna ask you is a bit technical.
I got a screen burn-in on my N9005.
I am about to replace the LCD, but the problem is to find the LCD replacement in my country. Samsung only sells N900 here. And they couldn't help me to replace my screen. I found that N900's LCD are available here. Can I use the N900 LCD to replace mine?
Yes I know that I could order the N9005 LCD from ebay or alibaba. But it will take a time.
Please help. Thank you.
Hi, so did you fixed yours ? I am wondering the same thing.
Can I use lcd from the n9000 model for my n9005 version ??
I can't be fully sure, but I see no reason why the LCDs should be different. Ask the Samsung guys, how it is different from Exynos to Snapdragon.

i actually got it from abroad, got it imported. so no warranty for me to claim here. international warranty does not apply here in my country.
btw, this is my second device this year that i have to sell in for parts only... first was Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4...

Did you try to email samsung support in your country?
Hi All,
My Samsung S4 died recently and it does not turn on anymore. I took it to a Samsung workshop and they told me the motherboard got fried and it needs to be replaced. However, they would charge me about $300 for the repair, which of course I find it to be a total robbery. I have decided to take a step forward and repair it myself, which I found to be quite easy (I have already removed the motherboard myself). I have searched for replacement motherboards on eBay and found some in China for about $50. My questions are:
1. Is the motherboard replacement a simple "plug & play" matter or does it need to be programmed?
2. Where is the most recommended place to buy a motherboard for that model?
3. Any other watchouts/recommendations you have for me before I go ahead and buy the replacement?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, the motherboard is a "plug and play" replacement. The only thing you may need to do is update it to the latest ROM.
Make sure you do not get an s4 made for mainland china, verizon, AT&T, South Korea, and Sprint.
