I searched around but couldn't find any discussion about the hardware differences between the models. I recently broke the screen on my tablet and don't really want to send it in to Samsung for a repair.
Does anyone know if the screen dimensions are the same between the T587P and the more widely used T580P, I get that the firmware is not the same, but how about some of the hardware?
Thanks in advance to whomever can shed some light.

All the LTE versions have the same hardware, the difference is only firmware customized for a particular provider and logo on the back cover.
You can even install a Wifi mainboard to a LTE tablet because the extra parts on LTE are only SIM slot and antenna for cellular signal.
So basically you can downgrade any Samsung LTE tablet to a Wifi version just by swapping mainboard, the other parts almost identical.
Don't ever send a tablet to Samsung for screen replacement because the cost is more than buying another tablet: around $220.

Dear all,
I couldn't find any related topic yet with a quick search so I hope I wont get blamed for not finding the correct thread.
Sadly my Display from my 3G Nexus 7 broke yesterday. (A ****ty day for many reasons... not only this one)
Now I was thinking to buy a used or broken Nexus 7 to replace the complete front part.
Does anyone know if I could use just any of the Nexus 7 models to do that, or if I have to stick to the 3G model?
Of course it might be cheaper to buy just a small 8GB version and use that panel.
Thank you for any help regarding that topic.
Regards

There's another thread somewhere asking this same question, sadly the display of the WiFi model won't work on the 3g model because the screws are in the wrong places and stiff just won't fit right. Best bet is pay Asus to fix it or a local repair shop

I've been scouring eBay trying to get a non cracked screen for my WiFi 32gb. Long story short it's been dawn near impossible to get a "will not boot but has an intact screen" auction for under a $110 shipped.
Contact ASUS, they will do it for around $200 based on my chats with their employees online.

200$ is quite a number. Then I could almost buy a new one. Why do they change the screw position for almost the same product???
Scheiße.
Anybody knows this?
Is the Display of the 16GB or the 32GB without 3G compatible with the 32G 3G model?
Hello,
I have recently bricked my nexus 7 3G trying to update to 4.3. It is in APX mode with no easy solution.
I was thinking about buying in ebay a nexus 7 wifi 16GB motherboard. The idea is to change the nexus 7 3G motherboard for the this one.
I have doubts if the wifi motherboard will fit in the chassis and if all the rest components are the same so all wires and connections and battery will work.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
My advice is to add those 30$ for the 3G version, if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you might screw them up both while swapping motherboards. Also, isn't ROM (or wherever system is) memory soldered onto the motherboard?
Right now first gen N7s are really cheap because everyone is selling them, I'm sure someone on XDA has one to sell, and you can lookup devices whole history based on users posts.
I don't really understand what exactly is you're trying to achieve by swapping MoBos? Have you done this before?
also have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41860081&postcount=8 you probably have, but still.
Edit:
I had to re-read you post a couple of times to understand exactly what you're after, and here are my thoughts:
1) why buy wifi MoBo, if you can get 3G MoBo? It would make the whole process much simpler.
2) get a cracked screen 3G N7 on ebay, take it's MoBo and put it in you current N7. Throw away your current MoBo.
3) buy a fully working used N7 off ebay (or swappa). Sell your N7 for someone with cracked screen.
4) buy cracked screen N7, replace screen with your current one, sell it, add 100$ and buy new 2nd gen N7
if you do swap mobos, this might come in handy:

good luck!
I want a wifi Mono because it is cheaper. In a quick search in ebay you can find 16gb Mono for around 30$ or less and 3 MoBos are less common and much more expensive, around 130$
Personally 3 is not a must for me now. When I bought the no this was the only model and I didn't care to pay those extra bucks.
But according to how I use the tablet (mostly reading and video at home) I know 16gb with no 3h is ok.
I have the skills to change the mobo so that won't be a problem at all.
What I want to know is that a wifi MoBo would work in 3 chassis.
Thanks

It seems like the 3g and WiFi have different mobos, it may not fit, screw holes are most likely different.

Hi Mach... thanks for answering.
That´s just my fear. But in ebay there some motherboards with the whole chasis. For example, take a look at these two 16GB and this 32GB 3G. The frame are pretty similar. I have compared them from the photos and it looks the screw holes and connectors for battery, screen, speakers blah blah, are in the same location.
And as you can see, the price is totally different!
I wanted to know if there is someone with some experience could know that for sure.
Thanks!
Can I replace tow nexus 7 ( 2012 3g 32gb ) mainboard ?
Nexus A broken tuche
Nexus B in apx only
I realise this is a hardware question, but someone here might be able to answer or perhaps has the ability to check the Samsung part numbers.
I have an I9502 Duos which was sourced from HK.
The LCD has cracked and getting one from HK is a long and laborious process.
The i9500 shares the Exynos chipset with the i9502 and it occurred to me that it's possible if I hunt down an I9500 the screen from that may work.
I've got data on my I9502 and currently no way to get at it unless I can get the screen working again.
Ideas?

Anyone?
In general, the actual display of the various S4 models is identical. The sticking point is that the midframes on all of them are different. So you should be able to buy a I9505 screen and replace your I9502 screen with it. The I9505 screen however must NOT be bonded to a midframe, and you'll need to peel the broken screen off the I9502 midframe to do the switch. When you remove the broken screen, you need to keep as much of the old adhesive you can, as the replacement screens don't include replacement adhesive to bond the new screen to the midframe. To be on the safe side, you might want to purchase some of that adhesive off Amazon or a similar site.
Hi there, a friend gave me this phone whose screen appears to be burnt, but still functional. I just wanted to verify if the proper fix for this is to buy an LCD replacement.
Also, I noticed that online websites that sell LCD replacements mention the carrier of the phone. That brings me to the question, do I need to purchase a replacement with the same carrier or just the same model (SGH-I337M in this case)?
Thank you.

The att version of the s4 is compatible with the i337m.
You may be better off finding a used screen because a real Samsung replacement screen is not cheap.
hi guys, a bit of an unusual question on a software forum, but, can anyone recommend any mail-in repair shop that will fix the screen of a Samsung Note III N-9002 (i.e., the dual-SIM version)?
i bought via import in Europe, screen is now broken and would like to mail-in to get this fixed. so far I have found one, based in the US, but would be grateful for any recommendations, whether in Europe, Asia or US....
many thanks in advance for any tips.

I read here last week or two saying all versions of note 3 have the same screen. Hence it should be able to be fixed any where. Or am I missing you point?.

thanks for the response. i thought so too, but the Samsung repair guys in Slovakia claimed they ordered a spare part LCD screen from Samsung and then told me that despite best efforts they were unable to install it as it is not the same part as for the single-SIM version.
i think the thread you are referring to is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780299 but it just says that a LCD between 'normal' (single SIM) versions of a Note 3 for T-Mobile and Sprint is the same.
on the other hand, i found for example this: http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/n9000lcddigitizerblackr/ - the part description it says it fits both a N9000 (which is what I understand to be the 'standard' version) and the N9002. so, i am confused - would have expected the official Samsung guys to be the authority on what fits and what doesn't....
purely from a common sense perspective, I would have expected the part to be the same, but maybe there's the issue of a second antenna or something somehow being included in the assembly, no clue.

Right. That's the 1. If that's the case, really fussy.
