Hello ,i own a galaxy s6 edge plus with a cracked screen and i was thinking about getting a live demo unit (which i can find for 100 $) in order to replace the LCD. I am wondering if it's possible to just swap motherboards or i have to also swap any other part of the phone? If any one knows please help me. Thanks

Have a brand new TPT. A couple of days someone broke the screen. Still functions, but there is a huge crack in the middle of everything. Sent the tablet back to Lenovo to get it fixed under warranty, but they called today and said they could replace the screen for only $750, when only paid less than $500 for it origionally. Getting them to send it back not fixed, but now I need some guidance on how to replace the screen myself. Any suggestions on where to find a compatible screen and how to replace? Any help would be appreciated.
There are YouTube videos on opening and installing a 3G card. The screen and its connections are shown during the video. Try to find one cheap, that is also broken, but with the screen in tact. Alternatively just get a good used TPT.
Thanks so much. Figured out how to take apart, but new to all of this so not too sure about what to do next. Scared that it may be booby trapped or something. Also I am having trouble finding replacement screen. Can only find 1 on ebay and it is not very descriptive and is in hong kong. Anyone have a broken tablet for sale?
Hong Kong makes sense. What's their rating? If they're new I wouldn't do it.
They have a 98.9% rating and they are ebay top seller. My problem is that "IBM Lenovo Android ThinkPad Tablet 10.1 inch lcd screen display" is my only description. I don't know if it is the right screen.
You could email them asking for specs. OTOH there is only one Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet that's Android. Feel fairly sure that the screen is the same across models.
Also, check the Lenovo forum. Lots of folks there - maybe some one has a broken TPT.
hello
my nexus 7's screen cracked after just 4 days of light use .. and now I have a triangular area in the top right of my screen that's not responding to the touch so that now I can't get to the right notification area unless rotate the screen or use a mouse . so I was thinking of replacing it.
since I live in Egypt and I had the tablet shipped to me from the US my only option is getting a screen shipped from ebay and installing it myself. so I was wondering what kind of screen should I get to get the whole touch screen working again.
i've been looking on ebay and was wondering if something like this might work?
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...1082526272&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=34354766081
I am not a very technical person so I am sure what the digitizer is.but I am guessing it's the part that broke to make the screen unresponsive.
so . should I get this one? if not what should I get?
I am looking for something cheap since the shipping cost is a lot.
thanks in advance
just upping the thread. I need the answer desperately

With screen + shipping + labour charge (to change screen).. Isn't it better if you get a new set and sell off the broken one on eBay? At least it's a new set and problem free.
a new replacement screen costs as much as a new Nexus 7. I cracked mine in January. The only way to use it is to connect a mouse which is pretty lame. Waiting for the newer Nexus 7.
since I live in Egypt. I can't really sell stuff on eBay. and my nexus 7 is the 3G version so I can't afford getting a new one.
I am really confused about the concept of a touch screen, a digitizer and an LCD. what is the differences between them and what do I really need?
if you can help me with eBay links I would much appreciate it.
thanks in advance
There is a guide here on how to change the screen (ok it seems I can't post the link because don't have enough posts. If you go to ifixit and search for nexus 7, there is a guide there)
The touchscreen part (digitizer) is the outer glass.
The LCD is bonded to the glass.
I've only ever seen the lcd and digitizer sold together. It is a lot easier to change them as one unit instead of trying to remove the broken digitizer from the lcd.
As people have said the price of the part outweighs the cost of fixing it, but if you really wanted to do it you should find all the information above.

I agree a second hand one though would be a lot more economical

Aloha !
Couldnt find any info about this on the web. If you have any info please share.
Situation:
I've got T-Mobile S7 Edge 935T from U.S.. Unlocked by T-Mobile.
I'm in Europe.
Phone worked correctly till...
I run my car over my phone (my precious!) accidentally. Phone works but screen is shattered.
Ordered new screen. (with frame etc., like this one -> CLICK
Replaced.
Phone cannot find network.
What I did?
Looked over the internet how to repair "Error while searching network". Nothing helped. (in and out sim, unpin battery etc.)
1. Screen which I ordered was for G935F because couldnt find any for "G935T"
2. Some europe sellers say that screen which they sell is for any edge "T", "F" "V" etc. etc.
3. Couldnt find any information if there is any differences between screens designed for T or F versions.
So I assumed that there is no difference (its just bloody screen...)
Question:
What do you think about it ? Could there be some diffrences between screen sets ?
Should I buy new screen from US ? I would't like to do this ;/ Its not cheap, shipping etc And I cannot be sure it will work.
What do you think fellows?
I replaced my phone with broken screen again and it started work again, it sees network (see picture attached,)
(Sorry for grammar, still learning)

This depends, if you're getting the SCREEN ONLY(LCD Assembly), or screen WITH HOUSING. With Housing you might run into issues cause there are slight hardware placement differences, but LCD Assembly only they all work the same,

Yes, you right. It was LCD with Housing (Screen, frame...).
I need to buy LCD assembly for G935T.
The bad thing is I dont see any new LCD assemblies on ebay. Only screens or used LCD assemblies.
Is there any good website with those parts ?

That's because most people think all the models have the exact same things in the exact same place, but GSM/CDMA/International models do have slight differences, thats why when we do repairs and have to use frames, we make sure its the right model.
The 935F is an international model, so the placement might be off or something is not in contact properly, can you take a picture of both frames, 935F and 935T side by side(935F wont work with 935T btw, I checked)? With the motherboard off of course. Also I saw few newer listings on ebay for around 300~.
Oh, and getting a 935T with housing is probably your best choice unless you know what you're doing, cause you might cut into the wrong place and cut off the flex cable for Menu/Home/Back button. But then again, you can just go rough on it with a heat gun and get it off since the LCD is already a goner.

I already sent back 935F assembly with housing so I am not able to check the differences. I'm going to order screen only (screen assembly) and - as you wrote - play with hair dryer
In case of ordering those things its akward situation. I can buy here (Poland) screen with housing for about 270$ (only for F) or just screen for ekhm... 325$ :silly:
I'd like to order screen with housing (fot T) from abroad (China, USA) but I cannot find any new ones (seriously).
I'm not sure about XDA rules in case sharing links for auctions but if you will see any screen with housing let me know
G935T searching
i have this phone from customer and it appears is searching only.
i found out that the customer had already changed the screen.
problem solved
Hi, im the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4, and yesterday I broke the LCD Screen , but all the other functions work, like the little notification light, etc. The shop I normally go to charge me 150C$ to repair the screen,m and I tought it was a bit excesive considering I can buy replacement kit off Ebay for like 80C$. I wanted to have your feedback on my idea to do it myself and also I'm having trouble finding the right screen. I have a SGH-M919V a canadian model and I didn't see any screen specific to that model, only M919 screen, so does it gonna work if I put an M919 lcd screen on my M919V ?
Thank you !

It's sadly annoying to change the screen on galaxy S phones. You have to start from the back and basically tear the entire phone down.
There is a guide on ifixit for tearing it down but these kits im seeing on ebay for 75 seem to be ones that need glued in since they aren't the entire display assembly. I would look over that guide and see if your comfortable with that sort of stuff. It may be worth it for you to just pay the 150 vs potentially messing your phone up in the process. The other option is sell the phone and get a S5/S6 or some other upgrade?
Alright, thank you for your help and your quick answer ! I'm still in reflexion about all this, but you certainly help the process.
Thank you again !
Actually, I find the s4 to be very easy to take apart. I have repalced the screens on 4 phones with no problem.
If you buy a replacement screen, make sure you get a pre-assembled frame/lcd/glass unit. It's easy to damage the frame when you remove it from the old screen and having the frame pre-installed is not too much more than the cost of the lcd/glass.
Hi.
I'm from Portugal. My s7 edge screen had some pink stripes on it and i already know that its a faulty screen. But recently i had broke my screen. So i think the terms of screen replacment could not be apllied now. Correct me if im wrong.
So, could someone tell me where i can get a new screen? I know its asking too much but i only can find screens for 290€. It possible to grab one with a lower cost? Thank you

hi
the answer is no
thats the actual cost of Lcd
Broke the device within one week of purchase and it set me back 200 dollars in India. You can do the math now.
