I think that you somehow ( by pressing power button as you mentioned) broke the display :/ so the only solution is to change the display by yourself or samsung custom service but i hope that im wrong!

If your screen turns out to be really broken, don't be afraid of switching it yourself.
Just don't make the same mistake I made (twice). Buy the new display from a store that's specialised in mobile spareparts, not from ebay. If the display doesn't look exactly like the one you took out of your phone, send it back. I had a bent and scratched one and one that had lower resolution and no brightness control. Insane, who hopes to make profit from that?

thanks for trying to help turboblaz,but i have already disassembled the handset and inspected it from all sides, there is no bleeding ,crack or scratch of any kind on it and moreover the placement of the power button is such that it wont harm the display even if its pressed with a moderate to hard pressure.

thanks martialaw ,yeah i know hw to dissamble this handset ,actually i hve done it twice before, once for replacing the menu key button and the other time for replacing the audio jack. moreover i know a good shop which sells good mobile spare parts
i had checked it with the service centre , the price of the audio jack there was 650 inr along with the replacement so i bought it from that spare shop ,it costed meh around 150 inr n works perfectly fine even after 6 months. So im guessing that the price of the lcd display at the service centre would be around 1500 inr and at the local market it would be around 500 inr,but i am just worried about its contrast and brightness as u mentioned and moreover what if the display is fine and the problem is with the board or other things.

sounds familiar. I spent 1200 inr on ebay, twice, both crap. Then 2100 inr in a proper shop, which finally looked like the original part on the circuit area. Dunno if those prices can be compared, I converted them from Euros for you. Go for a original part and try to keep the option to give it back if it turns out the error lies within another component. gl&hf

Ok so i walked into my desk at work last week and cracked the LCD - i had already puchased a new digitiser as my screen was getting pretty scratched up so i figured i'd simply buy a new LCD and take the phone and new parts round the corner to my local phone shop who were happy to replace my screen and return the next day.. great.
Fast foward and now i have a BIG problem. The new LCD doesnt seem to work once the phone has booted. SO, when you turn the phone on you get the usual windows boot screen with the rom info in red in the bottom corner (im using Monx's latese 6.5 rom). After that though it all goes Pete Tong, when then alignment wizard starts the screen goes nuts, flickering like an old TV and not displaying a steady image. The guys at the store say the phone is damaged from the knock to the screen however before I did a hard reset and removed my sim and SD card the parts of the LCD that were still able to display the today screen etc were showing everything correctly and flicker free and even allowed me full touch control with the stylus.
I basically need some advice from people who know a thing or two about replacing Touch Pro screens. Despite what the shop guys say i suspect that my screen is not compaitble with my Touch Pro which is originally a UK Vodafone but i now live in Canada and got the new LCD from the States. The person who sold me the LCD said it was compatible with all Touch Pros & Diamonds, but then he would say that wouldnt he!
My options are either buy another LCD and hope that does the trick or bite the bullet and get a new crappy canadian contract and a new handset. please help me ive tried the search and cant find anything that helps me and im desperate for a solution!
Cheers
Its a LCD issue what you got, my guess is that the person at the store either gave you a faulty one or its a duplicate lcd,also cleaning the LCD connector with alcohol would be a good idea.Its very rare that in the Diamond/Touch Pro category the connector to get damaged.

I don't think you should replace the screen by yourself. Also FYI it's not like a normal touchscreen. According to the manual, the screen is an electronic screen which changes finger touch to electric signals, hence "tochscreen". So probably you would have to play with the hardware also. I have replaced my screen for Rs.3000 (some $50) from samsung service. It feels better (even better than the stock screen).
it's only the screen parts because the phone is working and the touchscreen is working too i can use my phone i received my Gmail mail sms etc and i 've the haptic feed back when i unlock it but i don't have any image and when i unmount it everything apart the screen seems to work ...
edit: i want to change the LCD display which is dead not the external part of the screen....
Tutorial for changing the LCD panel
although note that buying a new panel would cost you quite a lot of money, you are better off buying a new phone i think
I don't want to change the panel i want to change the display and anyway i just successfuly completly unmouted the phone, i'm just looking for a webshop where i can find a cheap LCD display (normally it's ~ 30€
i don't follow you...you said you didn't want to change the external part of the screen
the screen on all touch devices consists of two parts:
the digitizer (thats the external cheap bit) that transcodes touches to digital signals
and the lcd panel (that's the internal expensive bit) that projects images
what is your problem exactly
also i suggest you take a look at ebay for parts
I want to change the lcd part
My phone seams to work because when i call it ring and i can answer it by sliding the screen where there were sliders when i send a sms it ring when i receive a gmail it ring but i din't see anything the screen is totally black ....
I hope you'll understand
Excuse i i'm not clear

A lcd pannel is not so expansive (25~30€) i just to know a secured and confident place to buy it ....
Small portion on upper half of my touch screen doesn't react properly. When I touch in this area, controls just above/below this area gets activated. My phone is 18 months old and doesn't have any damage on the screen. I am not sure .... Is it a hardware problem or software problem. Please help with a solution.
HTC India service center does not takes the device for repair/checkup just because I bought it in Europe.

its most prob ur digitizer. bout 3/4 of an inch on my screen at the top was "dead" so i baught new digitizer from ebay (only cost me £10 ) and changed it myself (its very easy) and now my screen is perfect. just be sure if u buy one that u get the 3M double sided tape with it so u can stick it to the LCD.
To be sure tho u can always try flash another rom but im 99.9% certain its ur digitizer.
Thanks jmcclue..

FYI: Sometimes whole screen becomes unresponsive and sometimes it clicks apps on its own even when I keep my hands away from the screen. I was looking to buy a digitizer for my device but here in India it costs me about $25/-. I hope I'll get one from HTC India as buying things online in India sucks.

yh same with my digitizer, even tho the top part was dead, it made some other parts act faulty. like on the keyboard i couldnt use the "b" key and now and then randomly click on things. was very annoying. u can get digitizers cheap but id say shipping to india would be quite expensive.
Hello,
This is my screen one month later after I change the digitizer + lcd (bought form china).
I have restored old rom and no changes so it is hardware foult. I think I need newer phone and I will not buy new digitizer again.
Heh
Hi there. I have a pebble blue16gb S3 that's currently on the fritz. Some people are recommending a jtag service to force a stock rom back onto my s3. I've got others that are telling me my emmc chip is probably bad and that a jtag probably won't help my issue at all. Anyway, I've been cruising craigslist and I found a 16gb pebble blue s3 that has a cracked screen. In the pictures I was sent the crack is right down the middle. The guy selling it says the LCD display wont show up at all, but in some pictures the back button and the other button light up as well as the blue notification light on top were working in the picture. He's selling the device for $90. I checked the IMEI he gave me on swappa.com/ESN and its said its ready for activation. I asked the craigslist seller how the device was damaged and he said he got into a car accident going 60mph and he was hit by a drunk driver and the phone hit the dash. I have a buddy of mine who is willing to take the motherboard from this phone and switch it out with my phone, but he expressed concern that the fact the LCD won't display anything and he thinks the motherboard may have suffered some kind of damage in the crash causing the device not to display. He also noted that he has seen phones with cracks all over and the lcd still displays something. Can anyone shed some light as to how much impact a Verizon SIII motherboard can absorb and if its possible for the screen to totally not work, but the board itself be fine? Thank you very much!
Im not sure if this was the right thread to post this question either, but I hope it is. Thanks!
Also just wondering, is the notification light at the top and the lighted back button and the function button by home at the bottom run through the same connection that controls the display?

I repair these devices and I'll say that you should just stay away from an S3 with a blacked out LCD. The repair for the LCD is about $300. Just a cracked glass may run you anywhere from $80-$150 for repair. The motherboard could be damaged, but there is really no way to tell unless the screen is on. I doubt it would be broken, though... I would look at it to see if the metal frame around the screen were bent or warped. If not, I doubt it would be. If the soft keys light up, you should also hear the volume turn up.... this checks to see if the speaker works.
But with a busted LCD... too much cost to fix that and not worth it. May as well buy a new one.

So should I just pass on this craigslist phone? All I wanted was the board from it and switch it out with my motherboard that is on the fritz.
Guys,
pls help me..........Today my 4 months old magnus just fell to the ground and its Upper left screen got cracked.
Now the Touch is not working at All but display looks perfectly fine. Power Button is working too and my phone is charging as well.
Friends, pls tell me the expected cost of its touch screen. I have searched it on google, some guys saying its 800Rs-1000Rs and some has quoted around 7000 Rs.
Anxsiouly waiting for your replies !!!
if your display is fine than it must not cost above 400-500 bucks, And if someone asks for more than that probably they are cheating.
if you go to service center they will ask for about 2.5K so get it from local market..

My sCreen Also broke...and it costs about 2000 locally..:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Local shops Compatible ( duplicate ) touch costs Rs.500/- and a more higher quality Og ( original ) costs Rs.700-800
In service center the actual price is Rs.1100-1300/-. But the guys try to quote sky high prices seeing people faces and reading their knowledge about phones.

It depends n your colour of phone.
If it's white one then,
Only Touchscreen cost --
900 local
600 (gafar market delhi)
2150 service center (original)- normally there is no availability
Both touch n display--
2700 local
If it's blue then, u have to change both touch screen n display since it's joined.
cost. -- same as white 2700 local
6300 service centre original
I am telling this detail since 3 of my friends have already replaced their screen 2 white n one blue.
One thing more, if u opt for only touch then take care that the shop keeper will take some responsibility since some times it gives a lots of problem after 2-3 days.
Any idea regarding Mumbai ???
