I drop my phone the other day and the phone will turn on but nothing is coming up on the screen if someone can answer this question well I need to replace the whole screen the glass did not crack?

You might have broke the digitizer under the screen, or disconnected it, knocked the ribbon connection loose. If you are comfortable with tinkering inside, that's the first thing I'd check. If it's the digitizer, you have options on replacing it yourself or sending/taking it somewhere to be done.

just bought this phone used, but the bezel is so damaged that it's hard for me to even look at the phone.
i wonder if there's an easy way of replacing the bezel? im not sure i want to transplant the entire screen on the kit i bought, since it seems like the glass breaks easily.
Buy a case, most of the decent cases cover up the besel

You might be able to find some rear housing replacement for the phone but that all depends on if you want to dissect the phone as well.

Alternative like previously mentioned is get a case for it but thats entirely your choice.
Bezel is attached to the digitizer

No it's not, it's attached to the front housing, the entirety of which can be bought of eBay brand new for around $20

I read the 1st post and thought I had posted it for a second. Exact same thing happened to me. I was not going to keep it but a case will hide it and it's a $400 phone new. My wife isn't going to let me spend that much on a phone so I decided to keep it.
Glad I did so far.

I have a bezel and assembly without the glass sitting on a shelf in my office. Had a shattered screen and the replacement is a one-piece assembly as was mentioned. I removed the glass and LCD and have a good bezel with the 'touchpad' buttons still in place. Could let it go....if you can use it. Make me an offer.:angel: PM me if you're interested and I'll send a picture.
Whenever I search for a screen on ebay it brings up glass fronts. I need to know where I can get an actual LED display. I dropped my phone and the glass is fine but the actual display has dimmed the screen to the point I can't see the top. I need a link please ?

Actually the galaxy s3 uses LCD.
Secondly. The screen part is largely referred to as a digitizer.
So you can search eBay for that.
However. I believe if you ship to Samsung
They will replace for 180 with parts and shipping included. (So I've heard)
I think this is the cheapest unless you find a used donor phone
I hope I helped
Don't mind if I ask for a thanks? Haha
Jk. But PM me if you have any questions. Might be able to help

When I saw that I asked him right away if he dropped it or if his pockets were tight. He responded no to both. I've never seen him drop it, in fact the phone is still flawless. Nevertheless, the ended up shipping out a new phone. AT&T has really good CS. I'll let you know when the phone gets here. Oh yea, almost forgot, his screen is turning yellow now too.

Hey guys. Heres another update of the screen. When he woke up this morning he went to check his phone and found this. It got even worse. Whatever. We should be seeing a new one in 4 to 6 business days. Just a lil update.

Wow that's ****ty. Glad they are replacing it. I would of made a huge stink if they tried saying that was due to wear and tear.

Yea after seeing the updated photo there's no doubt that was caused by pressure. Sat on old phone before by accident and the screen did the EXACT same thing.
I wouldn't say this is a screen issue, just a damaged phone by accident :*(
Hopefully cs doesnt consider that physical damage and charge full retail price after they get it..

I am getting an Alltel S III tomorrow that will work on the Verizon network, and I actually have 2 questions. I have a broken verizon s3 that I used a while back until I broke it, that's rooted, unlocked, and with a custom ROM. Can I pull the motherboard out of that phone and put it in the new one? And what root method would I follow to root the alltel version? Is it the same as Verizon? I'm hoping I can just swap mother boards and go. Thanks guys!

If you swap the mainboard, then your Alltel S3 will be the broken one.
I got the Alltel s3 today, and I pulled off the back cover and saw that there was no sim slot. So I did the motherboard switch, and activated my sim card(I'm coming from the moto droid mini which takes a nano sim) and bam came up with signal and everything. Everything functions as it should.

I still don't buy it. You took a mainboard from a bricked S3 and put that into your new Alltel S3 and everything works??
The OP mentioned that he broke the fone.. Not meaning he brick the fone. Prove us right or wrong on wat happened
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Didn't happen until there are pictures.
One more question why buy an alltell S3 instead of a vzw S3. If he still gonna use it on vzw network.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
I'm going to guess he got it for a great price.
Noooo lol I didn't brick my old s3, all I did was broke the glass and lcd display. Upon getting the alltel s3(on 4.3) I noticed it did not have a sim slot, so I went ahead with the motherboard swap. After installing my motherboard from my broken s3, I used had to use the MB cover from my old one because it had a cut out for the sim slot. Then I powered it on and presto. I basically just did a conplete screen replacement. Whenever you break a screen and have to have it replaced, they just pull your motherboard and put it basically into a new phone and it won't matter the branding. You'll have the Verizon guts on the inside. I'm sorry about the confusion guys, I should have explained a little better.

OK, that makes sense since you only broke the digitizer...usually people just get another screen and pop it on. Everything would stay original, but got to give you credit for replacing the mainboard. You do have some skill there!

You inspired me to open up my gs3 take the motherboard out and rip off my power button. You are right that was way to easy and now I can reboot! The bad part is I need to be plugged in to turn it on by entering download mode then decline instead of accept. I might solder a new switch some day but this is good enough for now. Thank you for giving me the confidence to do that!
My old job i work at a manufactured company for hospital devices we would build n repair. I can open those up and work on them. But when it comes to my fone. Im breaking sweat

The Galaxy S III is the only phone I have done this on, so keep this in mind. But yes it was super easy. It was a lot less stressful than rooting and unlocking a device for the first time. ThePagel, I still have the motherboard for the Alltel S III, do you think you could use the power button from that? If so you're welcome to it!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Okay guys I'm sorry but I had to do this. I went back in and pulled the motherboard again, took the black power button and volume rocker covers from my black S III and replaced the silver ones with the black. It looks pretty freaking awesome. Just thought I'd share. Lol

I got a Verizon Galaxy S3 i535 from a coworker. The screen is cacked, phone turns on, LEDs work, I hear notifications, but no display.What do I need to replace? The phone is not rooted. Thanks.
Easiest thing to do is buy oem lcd & base & put the rest of the together. Its pretty easy & you can get them for $100 on ebay
