I'm trying to find somewhere decent that carrys parts for the skyrocket that isn't stupid expensive, i know these digitizer lcd combos aren't all 180+$
my lcd is fine, so what im wondering if anyone has torn one of these bad boys apart, or if they only make the combos.
Any suggestions for websites that have digitizers for the skyrocket would make my day!
Dropped my phone last night, cracked digitizer...derp
same situation on my old black skyrocket... just a digitizer would be nice
So, has anybody been able to find the outer glass only? I can't order the $200 digitizer+lcd... makes no sense...
Prices have gone down a little, they're at 150 now, Google mengtor

I have also been looking everywhere for just a glass/digitizer as I also cracked my glass from a drop after hours of looking around it seems they are still about $150 at the cheapest...

If you can't find a cheap digitizer, you could maybe part it out on eBay and then just buy a whole phone used.
Does anyone know where I can get a main rear camera for this?
Hey y'all. I dropped my white SR a while back and repaired the screen myself. I used http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com/samsung-skyrocket-sgh-i727/
They have the best prices on parts that I could find. You can do it all yourself too. Just google instructions for replacing the parts.
To repair the LCD/digitizer, you have to replace the entire front, not just the glass. It's an all in one unit, that's why it's so expensive. I followed these instructions: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1758028-How-To-replace-I727-screen
Yup. The digitizer and its circuitry are attached to the screen (glass) with some wicked adhesive. Its an all-in-one piece that is also glued into the carriage. It comes out from the front. Just replaced mine last night lol.

https://www.wholesalegadgetparts.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1&keep_https=yes
I've bought from them before: service is good, shipping is fast and product is OEM.
The digitizer assembly would include the actual glass correct? Of course my inquiry is less urgent as op's since I just want to get rid of some scratches
i cant find only glass , may be your find?
arnt the glass and the LCD glued together to form one uniform piece?

It's possible to change only digitizer?
No, its not posible to change only the glass. And good luck finding a screen in stock that actually works. I had a screen i replaced fail and seen many stories of refurbs with screen issues if you have good luck let me know because i still have one infuse that needs a screen. When buying the second screen for it (the company i got the first one from was very un cooperative) they didn't have one in stock but decided not to tell me that till i complained... i got fed up and bought another infuse for about the same price. There should be a few available in the xda market place.
I have found a craigslist post in my area saying there letting go there phone for $250. In the post they continue to say that only the screen is cracked. A picture they posted shows the phone on with cracks on the screen.
I have emailed them and they replied that if it doesn't sale they will just repair it, because it only cost $18 (this concerns me, why not just repair on such an expensive phone)
My questions: is it worth it?? Also what questions do you think I should ask? And if I meet them in person what should I look for?
Thanks in advanced xda folks!

My friend cracked the glass on his and the screen won't even turn on. I called the phone and it rang but the screen wouldn't light up and the digitizer wouldn't register touches. So I'd stay away.
I have seen replacement screens on eBay for $20 or so, but I believe that the digitizers are glued to the screen.
If you can't cleanly separate the two, you're probably in for the cost of a replacement combo ... about $200.
Still cheaper than a new one outright ...

I've seen replacement screens on ebay for maybe $15-20 but to replace it seems rather difficult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=relmfu.
It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. If you're up for the challenge of replacing the screen (or if you think you can live with the crack, you didn't mention how bad it is) then go for it. If not, I'd probably stay away as this doesn't exactly seem like an easy fix.
Try lowering his price to 200$ then send it in to Samsung they will charge about 190$ to replace it. The digitizer is glued to glass and u won't be able to separate and put on new glass.

It may not be broken but its all one unit.. my guess is they already know this or they would have gotten it fixed themselves
Replacement screens are about 18-20 but replacing them is very difficult because of the adhesive that bonds them... Dont't buy it.. you would have to buy a new bezel with the screen and digitizer attatched to it. about 200-250 itself..A shop around me does it but they said it would be 300 plus labor..
If you can get it at a decent price and can replace the screen cheaply then i would say go for it.

Where did u get that quote I have a broken gs3 and best option is Samsung 180 shipped and returned. OP did the phone need bezel replaced? Here is my damaged phone not one scratch on bezel landed perfectly flat and the SGP case doesn't offer much protection over the screen its almost flush. If it was under or roughly 160-180 plus 180 screen replacement sub 400 gs3 good price.

Hello, well I drop my infuse last week and crack just the glass. A guy I know that works at a cell phone repair store sold me a $10 glass for my phone. Well I've started reading and they say that the glass and LCD are fuse together. Is there away to just repair the glass. I thought maybe taking my hot knife and carefully cutting just around the edge and then take a long thin boxcutter ( I've got one as long as the phone and it really thin) and heating up the blade and very carefully slide down while my girlfriend runs a hair blower up and down the screen.
I thought I take the blade and my hot gluegun and make some grips on the sides of the razor blade so I don't cut my hand. What do you guys think of this.
If you know of someone that has done it and can give me there names so I can PM them that be great. One thing thought I don't wont to mess the phone up. This is all I have until the SG4 comes out in the states. Which should be in a few days but I've got to wait until after the 3rd to be able to pay for it. Thanks for reading this.
By the way, could they do it at a cellphone store or would they also need to buy the LCD digitizer to fix it.
Google is your friend in this matter. There are several good sites and YouTube videos related to replacing a screen readily available online. Best of luck in replacing it

If you just cracked the glass and see no bleeding from the LCD you can just replace the glass but its a pain in the ass separating it from the LCD without cracking it. My suggestion is to use a really hot blow dryer or a heat gun preferably..separate them, then you'll have to re-adhere the new glass to the LCD. If you have super glue you can use it but use very very little or you'll ruin the screen. I would recommend buying an infuse specific glass replacement adhesive sticker thing on eBay. They're less than 5 bucks :thumbup: if you need any help feel free to pm me.

What about using a real thin guitar string. You think that might be better to use since the string will give a little and with the razor it might nic the LCD. What do you guys think.

I've found a few resources that show how. That part is easy. I have the confidence to do it. I'm curious to know if anyone here has done it.
Well I need more the just the replacement glass such as adhesive or special tape? I can find a decent cell phone toolkit from Newegg and a few sites that sell parts. And recommended sites to go to for the glass?
The phone still works great so I'm not worried to much about the digitizer.

I do not know where did you found info on replacing the glass only. To my best knowledge, you have to replace the screen, can not replace the glass only. Just like S2 ( did replaced), I had to buy the complete screen ($176). The S2 was easy to tear it down, but the One S is more complicated to get the main board out(did that too). I have crack across the screen(glass crack) and would like to know how to replace without tearing down the phone. Could you post the link to that info?. Thanks. I got the new glass, just do not have enough info for replacement.
After some research I found this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAxX2Tr8zAo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Looks like you still have to do a complete teardown in order to make the fix as well getting some special adhesive. Might be too much for me to do.

An arm and a leg.

Ouch, that'll cost you a small fortune... Didn't you just get it last week or some? (if I remeber the Comics topic correctly)
Try an official Samsung Service Center.

Spare parts
Hi Y´all.
Actually i don´t think it´s totally impossible to make the repair yourself.
What i haven´t been able to locate is a source of spare parts.
Ebay seems to be void of parts for this tablet.
I found a place that advertised for a front glass for the SM-P900. My -905 search though has been a total failure.
Can´t remember where i saw the -900 front glass.
Even a battery seems to be a very tall order.
I love my new tablet, but i dread the day when i´ll need spare parts. Saw somewhere that tablets have a slower turnaround i.e. people keep them for longer.
Runs nicely i thread with my own intentions to keep my -905 for at least 3 years - longer if possible. Then battery replacement could very well be an issue.
Regards
Elo
Repairing a 12 inch screen is going to be the pain of the world. Samsung glues the digititzer plus glas onto the lcd. Gonna be fun scraping the glas of the lcd without damaging it. Lcd plus digititzer might be a better idea but pretty expensive....

This. I've been to the repair centers, I've seen how they sit in white suits with face masks scraping off the glue for hours before they can replace the screen. Masks, because the glue is semi-toxic. (this kind of heavy-duty glue usually is.)
