Hi all. I have an old Galaxy S7 Edge in complete bits, all of which work but with no working screen. I am looking to make a project out of it. I wondered if anyone knew of a digitizer that would be compatible with the S7 Edge. I don't want the curved screen for the project and ideally something a lot cheaper. It only needs a working display and touchscreen. It does not need to fit an Edge phone as it will not be housed in the phones original chassis. I've noticed the board uses a 48 pin fpc, would any 48 pin digitizer work or can anyone help with this?
Many thanks

Any help would be appreciated.
As far as I've found so far all S5 displays are the same so it should work as long as it's genuine.

I have used the following assembly to replace a screen on S5.

I converted a white S5 to fully gold with gold housing, gold usb cover and this gold screen/home button assembly.
The screen is straight forward to replace, but you will need a good replacement 3M adhesive tape (2mm AND 3mm BLACK! Not clear!).
Also, make sure you head up the old screen with a heat gun before attempting to remove it - it is pretty fragile.
PM me if you have any problems and I will give you a hand.

Doesn't quite show if the Modem is a separate chip or onboard the 7420.
my 2 cents
Was just about to post this. Thanks!
The battery seems cumbersome to replace. I hate heating things up and removing the glass in fear of cracking it. However, once past that, it looks pretty standard. I'm glad there's no more glue underneath that all.
Being careful, it can be "easy" to change the battery

I wish it was a little easier to repair, ala the Nexus 4, which was rather simple to take apart. But really, anyone who has taken apart phones before shouldn't find it too difficult to repair this device. But it looks like most everything is soldered to the motherboard. What will happen if the usb port breaks?
Hi. I just broke my S6 display, just the protection glass ,the touch is working flawlessly even where the display is cracked. I was wondering what do you suggest, to change only the glass (Oca glue /gel ?) or to replace the whole display meaning glass and touch? Please help guys. Later today I will post a picture with the display. Thank you.

I only had mine for 5 days, dropped it, and cracked the glass.... a week later, dropped it again, and cracked it even more! I can't believe how slippery the G6 is. Anyhow, I ordered a good case the same day I got the phone, but it's stuck at friggen customs for over a month now... Soon as I get it, going to get er fixed. It's $210 locally rite now to get the glass replaced, or $150 for an insurance replacement. Regardless, going to stick with the messed up screen til I get the case, still works great.
Hi. I found to replace the glass and touch together with 150 . Replacing just the screen I think it's cheaper but I didn't hear good things about this procedure (high possibility to crack the touch or the gluing of the touch and glass it's very hard to get like new). Where are you from? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...y+s6+parts&dpPl=1&dpID=51nFR7qIK9L&ref=plSrch
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6. The other day, I happened to break the front glass. The LCD is still fine and the phone works, but the glass is all cracked and a little sharp. So I got a Samsung Galaxy S6 replacement and then followed the video guide to fix it. Now the phone just like a brand new phone.
Hey guys.
So after just a week of getting this lovely note 4 the phone fell from pocket about a feet or 2 on a ceramic floor and obtained a threadline crack horizontally across the screen. The digitizer is fine and the phone is totally usable,however i am tempted to change the upper glass covering. Iv done some research and couldn't find any detailed process to do that on youtube,though i read somewhere that it's risky to replace just the glass without digitizer. So has anyone gone through this process before? What are the risks? I am planning to buy d glass from aliexpress. ..thanks
So I'm in the same boat as you now...was hoping you were successful and any pointers/tips and what glass did you get? I've taken the glass off and replaced it on a Note 2 so somewhat familiar with the process.
Well i think i have to tell you some bad news guys. Samsung changed the way they produce displays. Back in the day S1-S4 N1-N3 screens came with a frame attatched on em (official parts that is) but now since the S5 and N4 its only the panel itself, touchscreen+Amoled panel glued together and it's like 3mm thick. So you can imagine how difficult it is to replace em seperatly.
I think it's for the best to leave it like this or if you have the money replace the screen completly.
I myself work in a phone/tablet repair shop so if ur from the Netherlands/Belguim you can stop by and it's fixed in ~30 minutes.

I purchased a replacement LCD and glass + housing for my broken s4.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JB0YX58?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I went to work disconnecting the old connectors, MB and parts. When i was done the old phone and new phone looked exactly the same, except the old one was shattered. i installed all the parts and snapped it together, and it would seem i was done.
When i booted it up there is no display on the screen, although led lights turn on and i feel the vibration. No sound, and no picture on the screen. but i think the phone is on although when i make a call to it i could not tell if it was ringing. I feel the vibration kick in when i hit the down volume a few times.
Any help be greatly appreciated!
I`ve done glass screens on more Samsung galaxy phones than I can count, but not an LCD as the digitizer is not connected to the glass and does not need to be replaced unless it is also damaged. I can offer this, however (and hope it helps); I did an LG G Pro a while back, and their digitizers are built into the glass (therefore connected to the MB). It was an AT&T specific device, and the replacement glass was a universal replacement. The fit was perfect, but because the digitizer ID didn`t match what the processor was expecting it wouldn`t come on. The drivers aren`t compatible. I later learned that many AT&T devices have similar trouble with aftermarket parts. I have since repaired that same LG several times (not the most durable device I`ve owned) with AT&T compatible products and it`s been fine. If you`re just replacing broken glass, you can do it without replacing the LCD. It`s a time consuming PITA but once you`ve done it once it`s pretty swift from there on.
Again, it may not be the problem, but hoping my experiences will help.
Hi guys
Iv dissided to repair my s5 as a spare mobile.
I say repair because the screen rotation stopped working a long time ago. I tried all the suggested ideas. Now the charge port has gave up.
So Iv been keeping my eye open for one that works with a smashed lcd, with the intension of using the motherboard from it to rebuild mine. Today I was offered a s5 sm-901f.
My s5 is a sm-900f.
From the spec and pictures Iv seen Iv got a feeling it would work. I'm assuming the motherboard would also fit into my housing, as my phone is still near mint condition.
So basically its putting a 901 motherboard into a 900 housing with a 900 lcd.
At worst it would be putting my 900 lcd on the 901 housing, but the housing is pretty bashed up.
What's your thoughts, will it work?
