Fellow XDA-Developers Members,
I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but the only stupid question is the one that isnt answered, right ??!! I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SCH-R760 that I got from a friend when my previous phone died as a loaner. The only problem is that her kids messed up the charging port, and you have to hold the cord a certain way to charge the phone, and even then, it doesnt always charge correctly (charges for hours and hours overnight and then says it only has 10% power, sometimes fully charges, sometimes doesnt charge at all). Rather than to sit here and mess with it everyday, I looked up the part costs to replace the USB Charging Port, and it is really cheap !! I decided to try and take the phone apart just to familiarize myself with the process, and maybe see if there was a loose connection I could fix myself rather than to be without a phone until the parts got to my rural area on an island in Alaska !! Well, I went on Youtube to find a video to take the phone apart, and all of the videos insist that there are seven (7) screws underneath the battery cover that I have to take our before using a soft plastic prying tool to remove the backing, but it doesnt look the same-there are only six (6) screws, and I cannot find anymore, even underneath these little black film-like strips that are there (I carefully removed them and then replaced them exactly as they were) !! And whats worse, the phone doesnt have a split in the middle of the side of the casing-you have to pry between the edge of the back casing and the screen !! I am at a loss here because right now I dont have the funds to buy a new phone, so can anyone tell me why I cant seem to get it apart (the seven (7) versus six (6) screws issue, and what could possibly be hanging it up; I tried to open it and it seemed like the headphone jack circuit board was hanging it up, but there is no more screws !!), why the video shows seven (7) screws instead of sic (6) on all of the instructional videos and why the phone doesnt split in the middle on the side like all the videos show them doing on the instructional videos illustrate !! I would greatly appreciate any and all help/advice !! Thanks !!

Hi i have to change the touch panel due to a big scratch,anyone here know if i have to disassembly all the phone?Or else someone with a service manual?
My phone was out in the rain for a bit so my digitizer is all messed up. Only thing I can do is touch the bottons on bottom. Not much function in the touchscreen besides that. Have ordered a new digitizer and will hopefully get it by the weekend or next week. Can report back how it goes with the disassembly or have you already done yours? Please give a report on how to do it if that's the case.
I m still waiting for mine from hong kong.look s like someone else had changed the syntetizer in the forum,but i had no reply to my question
Ok. I guess we'll have to wait and see who gets his first. Whoever does though it would be nice with a report on how it went.
Hi i ve received the touch panel,but i tried to disassembly the phone,but i can not get the cover to open.I unscrewed the 5 screws on the rear but the cover is as strong as before.Have you ever tried to disassembly our phone?
And the touchscreen i received it s not the new one but the old engineering example,i think it s the same but i want to try the respone so i can give the seller the positive or negative feedback.The panel differ from the classic one for the acer logo on top right,not at the bottom center,and...there is the trasparent hole near the headphone for the front camera as you can see from this old sample picture

And this is mine
I read in the screen replacement forum. There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house.
Hope that helps. The guy in hongkong that sent me the digitizer sent it by registered air mail first but sent another one by EMS so hopefully i'll have it this week.
Ok i ve found the way by myself,it s not so difficult,i ve seen the two screws after...You have only to pay attenction to not force too much the plastics when you try to open the cover and when you try to detach the touch panel.The best way is to use a guitar plectrum and start to open from the bottom right,for the touch you have to go carefully.Now i ask in the forum if they need a guide with high res photos,because i ve taked pictures with my nokia n95
Well I would be really interested in seeing the pictures. Please do share. How's the new touchscreen working out ?
You can see my guide in the general section,maybe will be sticked.The panel is working good,but it seems a little less sensitive than the official oem one.Maybe the engineering sample is a little different.In plus the light from the touch keys is not diffused good,and i have an hole for the front camera,wich is not present in retail s200.But if you go to the guide you can see pictures
I have now changed my digitizer and thanks to your guide it went pretty smooth. Was done in about 10-15 mins. I got the oem one but the buttons on the bottom is diffuse as you said yours was. maybe i can move the white from the old one to make it nices. Probably won't bother though. Don't really find a difference in response from before the change.
Be careful! This tutorial is at your own risk!
First watch this two videos, how to disassemble your SGS and take your time
It should look like this

Remove the black Home Button
Then very carefully remove the white label. As you can see, the problem is the corrosion inside the home button
Make this clean, with cotton swab and acetone, then assemble all and enjoy your home button again
Oh thanx! My phone need it! I will try it

You're welcome! Be careful and take your time
Sadly my amoled screen was stuck to the frame of the phone and not the screen, as a result pulling it away very gently resulted in a cracked amoled.
Sadness.
Everything else was good in this guide, my i9000 seemed to have lots of bits glued in that yours did not though
On the plus side my home button now totally works!.
thanks great guide
will look at my gfs when i get time
cheers
great guide.:good:
thanks! very useful!
ok job done happy gf maybe but
i scratched the underside of the menu and back touch buttions and
they look a bit funky now heh
Thanks maaaaaaaaan!! Now my Galaxy S's home button works again!!
Perfect instructions, thanks.
Warning to everyone... I followed the 2nd video trying to do what he does, but the glue in my phone was way stronger. I ended up breaking the screen without even noticing, while also breaking the keypad cables
Do this with extreme caution or not at all.
what video are you talking about.

Agreed..
Warning*** this guide also broke my amoled screen.
Should be removed...
Now have to install a new one.
Perfect, thanks!
tried this but it got to the point where way too much force was needed and I had to stop because I didn't want my screen to break.
Ended up just enabling the navigation bar and using it's home button.
Hello
Is there any easier way of doing this?
I see the Amoled screen modules being sold don't have the home button.
My phone's home button doesn't work well recently, you have to push it hard, and probably is due to water.
What would you suggest? Taking the scree napart seems quite risky instead of changing the whole modules
Thank you.

See these replacements
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Dig...bled-Replacement/dp/B005GNRI6U/ref=pd_cp_ce_1
No buttons there
Couldn't it be fixed by getting a keypad flex cable assembly to fix it?
Thank you.
You people ain't really smart, right? When something is glued together, you don't pull on it. You remove the glue with a hairdryer/Heatgun.
Is it working on i9001
Is ti working on i9001 galaxy s plus??
Sadly i found this good guide too late and broke my AMOLED before even gettin to the front panel.
Thanks for the good guide =D
Hi I just wanted to completely brag
Ok I bought a N5 on Ebay with a "broken" PS-(Power-Switch).
I have seen a few way to repair it and thought this could be really doable...
It wasn't what I would name a "good hit" ^^
The phone had already been opened and a very unsuccessful repair had been conducted.

Ok as you see, damn ^^
SO the solder pads were toasted (only epoxy)
Impossible to get it to work.
I googled (a lot) and found this thread from Rizwan Sayyed
http://www.mobilerdx.com/2015/03/repair-lg-nexus-5-d820-power-button-ways.html
Well, I did it The wire used is 0,35mm winding wire (they are isolated)
I actually have brought a litlle mods on it.
Here a pic:
why is it awesome? ^^ Well, because there is actually only one MB hack, which reduce of 50% the possibility of failure
The left port of the switch has to be connected to the little resistor as explained by Rizwan Sayyed
As soon as the frame of teh switch was still linked to the ground. I just had to solder the right port to the frame of the switch.
IT IZ DONE
That's actually quite simple even if VERY VERY tiny. It took me age to get it correctly welded and I must admit that I thought a bunch of times that it was "dead"
I secured the wire with hot glue (be careful it's tricky)
NOW there is a little draw back to this mod. The aluminum main back cover has a support directly on the ground trace. As soon as you have your hack-wire on the trace. You will have to substantially remove material on the rear cover.
Like this:
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
Hope it helps some desperate guy somewhere
## Please note that this hack is actually pretty advanced and require MAD SOLDERING SKILLZ. Do it ONLY if you know what you are doing and are LIKE ME very very very good at it ^^## <-- Yes me pretty (and) proud
The Grüß,
H.
PS: Image are huge. "open in a new tab"
Please advice
Hello doodjob, thank you for posting this amazing info. One of the contact points (the one shown here i.e. the one you have connected with wire) is broken on my PCB, while the other is intact. Can you please suggest what I can do? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

didnt see your post mate ^^
its actually not a port but an sms cap. Do you have a picture of how broken is it?
Been trying to get my Note 20 Ultra working again after a screen replacement and the phone went BSOD. Screen was tested and confirmed working. So I put in a new motherboard. Screen still doesn't work. With no touch capability how am I suppose to set it up? *I did try ODIN, but failure since I can't put it in the correct mode.* **I took this picture off my TV screen since it does put video out with a USB C to HDMI cable**

I'm sorry I can't be of any help with your touch screen not working, but I wonder if you or someone might be able to help me? Your post is the only place I've seen the screen I'm getting after replacing the motherboard in my Note 20 Ultra, and I can navigate using the touch screen, but I don't know what steps to take to get the regular OS to install and function from this screen.

Have you tried tapping the various buttons?
What caused the display to fail?

I have heard that it will pull the necessary data down if your sim is in. But I can't verify that until I get a working screen in it. I'll keep digging...

I'm hoping that my replacement screen is just bad and they'll swap it. Apparently BSOD is becoming a common thing with this phone. Even my parts supplier is asking me. I want to test my old board, but I lack knowledge to do so (and probably equipment as well.) From what I can say is that it affects all things screen related. So no picture, no touch and no S-Pen. So it could be a chip problem.
Replacement parts must be the exact same part number. Some of the model variants parts are not interchangeable!
Out of circuit assemblies are also susceptible to ESD damage. ESD protocols should be followed when handling these assemblies. At the very least wear all cotton and raise room humidity to 50%.
Wish I had taken some photos, but my screen protector had started to crack a bit at the seam point on my Flip 3. I started doing some research and it appeared it was possible to get a screen protector replacement through Samsung to maintain warranty for about twelve bucks (only discovered after looking at third party options for quite some time, not finding many with good reviews or solid experiences from those who tried). I think some of the language around the actual pricing and length of time since purchase was a little confusing, but I reached out anyway. Samsung gave me the names and numbers of two local shops that were supposed to be able to execute the repair, but both said they could not do this upon my inquiry. I reached back out to Samsung and they agreed to perform the repair for free at their facility, I just had to use their shipping label and send it in. Fortunately I had an old Pixel 4a laying around that I used in the interim, but barely got to use it because they returned my phone within 3 days. In addition, there was apparently an antennae repair made too (but never noticed any issues here, kinda curious what was up there).
Long story short, I was very impressed with the work they did and the rapid turn around time. If possible I recommend anyone else try to get it to the official sammy repair shop if ya end up in the same situation I was in.
It's extremely hard to do. A clean room environment is needed. Learning to do it means a lot of scraped laminates due to mistakes during that learning curve. That's why 3rd party repair parties don't want to touch it.
It's free, guaranteed and inconvenient... let Samsung do it.
Take pics before boxing with the phone on, double box it and insure it. Cover yourself.

What do you mean extremely hard to do and clean room enviroment? I took it off the other day and put a 3rd party protector on there. 10 minute job in a normal room and you keep the warranty, because on the 3 it is perfectly fine to replace it yourself.
