Thanks for this,
There is a one problem still
The disassembly vid only contains half disassembly!
I'm looking for a video that shows how to take apart the metal front bezel.
Got any ideas?

I had looked into this originally, and had decided to abandon the idea.
It seemed like the glass is glued or taped onto the frame. A lot of the feedback that I got gave me the impression the glass would be easily broken by trying to remove it from the frame.

I also decided to abandon this idea.i'll take my galaxy to the laboratory. They can do the replacement for shure

I am a samsung tech and I order the screen as a whole.
Only bits you save are the mainboard,back,battery and battery cover.
everything else is replaced.
if you find anything else on ebay its a fake part and will void your warranty if anything else goes wrong.

I have a full front set for SGS. I bought it from globaldirectparts.com and since they sell two, i have an excess one. It is so easy to assemble. I can sell it for the price i bought.

Any chance you can post a pic to see if its a genuine part?

[Q] Sidekick 4g glass broken

Hello all,
The glass cover on my sidekick got broken accidentally. The LCD works fine.
I'm planning to get a replacement front panel glass.
I found the following link on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tmobile-Sam...ultDomain_0&hash=item2c605f3c7e#ht_2045wt_905
Is this an original OEM part as described? After it's replaced will it work as good as the original?
Any other options other than the above ebay link?
Please help!
Regards,
sammydude

God only knows. It'll probably work though.

Sorry this is late, but the ribbin cable and glass seem to be just like the original. Let us know how it went.

How did you break it? I'm asking only because I know this is a pretty durable phone, I've already dropped it screen first on gravel, without a scratch to show of it.

This looks legit to me. Digitizer is the key word. I've replaced many of these on different phones. As long as it's a ditizer for the correct phone model number. Are you doing this yourself? There should be some good tutorials on disassembly on youtube.

@AFAinHD It was bizarre! My watch was on a chair. My wife threw my watch onto the bed saying "here it is. keep it ". The metal part of the watch fell on the mobile (the bevel part of the glass). You could imagine our shock after that!!

Not planning to do this myself. There's a good servicing person (freelancer) for all kinds of mobiles. Planning to give it to him.

Thank you all for your replies! Planning to go for it. Will let you all know how it went! Just hope I'm able to get it back to its original condition. Hmmm...

I don't think she could have hit it more perfectly.

Cracked Screen Need Digitizer

Hi,
I've scratched my screen pretty deep . I will like to replace the screen and get a new digitizer but haven't found any online.
Has anyone had luck finding a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus GT-P6200 Digitizer?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear that...I would have cried a little. Best of luck fixing it.

Believe me, my soul weeps every time i see that scratch... its end to end

sorry to tell you but i really don't think their will be any for sale for a log time i mean like 5months as this is still a baby device but have you tried claiming on your house insurance that's what i did with my nexus s last year

they have the digitizers on ebay now
I ordered a replacement digitizer on ebay about 3 weeks ago. They ship free from Hong Kong and the sellers all say that it takes at least 3 weeks for delivery. More sellers are there now with the digitizers. I cannot find a teardown video anywhere. Also, some repair shops fix the old p1000 but not the tab plus.
You definately want the tools to come with the replacement digitizer. I'll give it a shot blindly if I don't find directions and post how it comes out.... hopefully from this device!

i fixed cracked glass yesterday
The directions for the p1000 screen teardown pretty much worked. I used a hairdryer an an exacto knife to separate the digitize from the lcd. This was tricky. Of course you know to always push the knife away from you lest you cut your wrist.
An eyeglass cleaning towel worked to clear off the lcd. I didn't want to risk any solutions on it.
Prices on digitizers are dropping on ebay. I paid 75 for the kit and it is about $10 cheaper. Shipping does take long!

You just need to make sure you are getting the correct digitizer from a well rated seller. It's an easy ebay search. Also, you need the tool kit. The concept is to slide the tool around the space between the glass and case to release the catches. YouTube has lots of videos on the topic. It was a while ago when I did mine and used the T1000 directions. There may be a video with the 7 plus by now.
Using a hair dryer to heat the glass is critical. It softens the adhesive and makes it less dangerous. An exacto knife, glass and lots of force is asking for a trip to the emergency room. Let the heat do its job and always work the knige AWAY from your body while supporting the assembly on a firm surface.
Taking your time is crucial. The job's not that hard as long as you stay organized and don't force it.

By any chance, has anybody purchased a digitizer that doesn't have the Samsung logo on it? I'm kicking around the idea of replacing the digitizer to give my tablet a cleaner look on the front.

I have replacement which I will do myself. Question: after seperating original LCD from digitizer with heat, How did you line up the new one? Or does it fit right into place? Also is there glue material on the new digitizer as Ive been told?
Thank You.

digitizer and screen replace

hello..first of all
Im looking for a replace screen or digitizer for sm-r380.. just found some in the Netherlands but its TOO EXPENSIVE..
http://rounded.com/samsung-galaxy-gear-2-display-module-frontcoverlcddigitizer-black.html?sl=en
someone had the same trouble and found a better price for this?
thanks

i found this. similar price, but a bit better, but it is for the OG gear. not sure if itll fit in the gear 2. Probably not as you need the outer screen too. But i guess you could contact the retailer to see if they have the gear 2 stuff too

Samsung Smartwatch Gear S2 Faulty Strap.

Have had my Samsung Gear S2 SM-R720 Smartwatch from new for 6 weeks. Last night I got up from my chair, returned to sit down and saw my Watch lying on the chair, could have happened outside the house, anywhere... The Rubber Vulcanizing, or Glue? manufacturing process, to the stainless steel fixing clip had come adrift. I did manage after a while to get the fixing clip off the Watch. Apparently I am not alone with this fault and hope that Samsung has now opened a Data Base on this recurring Design Fault and that it is not a "Water" etc problem.
Has anyone found a more reliable Strap on the market please? Donny5

The non Samsung silicone ones on Ebay have worked great for me. Picked one up for like $10.

Have found another good supplier of Watchstrap for my Samsung Gear S2 , it's MoKo from Amazon. I had a hassle with Samsung, have to book in and return whole watch for a known common fault on the strap link with the Watch.
TIP: Before you connect the new strap put the slighest smear of Vaseline on the oblong fixing hole associated small plunger. I hope that Samsung have a Data Base set up and and are recording all these known mechanical faults.
