Is it hard to replace screen? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My screen cracked and after using it for a month or two now the screen doesn't register input. Any idea how much it would be to repair it or if it's hard to do it myself?

A lot of people are getting them now as their replacements, your unit is not special in any way.

Yikes my bad! I also noticed that the SN number is different.

Can i do a board swap across carriers?

I currently have a white Verizon Galaxy S3 and I like the look of the AT&T Red one better. I'd rather not switch carriers over a color choice of a cell phone. Is it possible to do a board swap and would the Verizon board work perfectly in the new AT&T phone exterior?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If your referring to the m/o board that would be pretty hard. You could just swap the glass panel. It'll fit either way
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Normally swapping the motherboard is fairly easy. I havent taken apart a Galaxy S3 yet. Is it easy just to swap the glass panel part and is it much simpler to just do that?

Lol no. That involves breaking the glass if memory serves me right. Replacing the mother board should be much easier. I do not see why it wouldn't work. Try and find out.

First I'll have to acquire some broken test devices but people think they're holding gold when they have a destroyed device. It's troublesome
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What? Why would you have to break the panel? Your memory must be wrong sorry
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm just wondering if the board swap would be possible.. I do have a use for the AT&T phone afterward. So the board swap would be optimal if possible.

99% chance it'll work,

Thanks. If I ever try it and get successful results I'll make sure to update this thread. The only hard part is finding a cheap red phone to test.

Have you considered one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Scree...81&sr=8-5&keywords=gs3+screen+protector+color
Not the same, but perhaps an option.

Those look tacky to me. Thanks though. This seems like a fun project to me. I just need to find a reasonable costing phone lol

The s3 is easy to take apart. I think this is a pop and swap device. Would be cost and time effective to get a red screen and a back cover and swap your internals into it.

Those little screws are a mother****er. Be aware of the screws that blend in too.

Oh.. I've got one of those. I work at a Verizon store. Haha, I've learned that this is a three part screen. Is it challenging to separate the digitizer from the glass? If so I'll just get a combo.

I didn't think it was but after seeing this, I don't think I'd want to do it. I'd do it if I had to but not for a color swap I don't think...

Could buy the screen the color you want then sell your old one. Hell, I might be interested.

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foxn0U9zsRA&feature=youtube_gdata_player makes it look pretty simple actually. He seemed to remove the glass and the LCD from the frame with ease.

Does anyone have a really good resolution picture of the Atrix 2s Motherboard that they could send me?

Well, I tried that before posting here. They do have some good quality pictures, but they are all from the side.
What exactly are your plans with the picture? It's possible that I could do it but not for now. My digitizer is cracked and I might change it in a few weeks.

If you are kind of a noob at hardware then I recommend using your warranty/insurance to get a replacement. Your insurance should cover it, I know mine did

S3 is more common of course.
You can take a gamble and buy a broken blaze that does not turn on and swap out the screen. There is uncertainty though so i do not recommend this.
It also seems that with our phone they sell the LCD and digitizer together. Other phones they sell just the digitizer and much cheaper.

If I remember correctly Samsung began to fuse them together to save thickness or something.

Cheaper to buy used and replace it. Then you have two blazes, one with crack.
