[Q] Galaxy Mini Replacement Body - Samsung Galaxy Mini

It seems I have managed to damage the body(Or housing) of my Galaxy Mini GT-S5570. It looks a little, well, ugly. So, I would like to know if it is possible to replace that body, without involving the Samsung Service Center, if possible. The screen has a really big and deep scratch across it so any other suggestions or alternatives would also be helpful.
I've tried searching on ebay.in but there doesn't seem to be anything. I will begin searching in the local stores in a few days or weeks maybe because I damaged the body in an accident involving a possibly drunk truck driver.

Haha! Possibly drunk truck driver?
I think you should try searching in the stores .. That oughta lead to somewhere.. But I'm not optimistic because It's a new phone..
I just opened my Galaxy Mini and it read "Made in Korea by Samsung".
Change your google search from google.co.in to google.kr( Check if korea is kr.. it think it is) and try searching.. use google translate.. That might help!
Best of luck :]

Galaxy Mini is manufactures in Korea, Vietnam, China. If the housing damaged, but your LCD screen is intact, then you only need to replace the front-facing casing only. But Samsung Service Center is the best place for the job, it will charge for cost, but in a much faster time.

Alright. I'll do that. Thank you.
What are the chances that I'll need to replace this 'Digitizer' thing? I found this on ebay today. Is the digitizer on the front of the phone or is there a surface in front of it?

Yup, that's the part you're looking for, and from your story, definitely it's the one that you need to replace.

[Q] Yep, I broke my screen! First one?

Hi there.
Brand new i9000.. first smartphone in my life.. and also the first one I broke in my life. Pretty ****ing annoying.
Everything still works, even typing, just the screen is smashed into a 1000 pieces. Dropped it out of my pocket on a concrete floor when I took my pants of. Lesson: Never take your pants off!
This is how it looks:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Found this (Dutch, but that's where I am from) webshop, selling a new screen:
/edit: ****, I am not allowed to post URL's!
It's called: "Samsung i9000 Galaxy S Display module compleet incl. touchscreen" Looks like this:
/edit: ****! I am not allowed to post photo's?
Is it the right screen? And if yes, can I install it myself? The thing is, just the outside is broken.. do I need this set? And where can I find a manual?
Thanks!

Any replica screens that do not come from samsung, will not be super AMOLED.. As this is one of the biggest things with the SGS I'd pay the extra and get it done at a reputed samsung repair centre!! Dunno where in holland you are but they have plenty of repair centres, had to visit one in Harleem myself the other day.... ANY Repairs carried out by you will void the warranty... Also is there no way you could just add accidental damage to your cover!!!... wait a couple of days then make a claim!!
I can't claim it anywhere.
So, I wanne put a Super AMOLED screen in myself. Anybody any idea where I can get a screen from? I can't post links here, pretty annoying.
Guy on Ebay sells them:
"yes, it is genuine LCD + touch screen with 4 inch Super AMOLED screen for samsung i9000"

Contact him ask him what the part number is!! call samsung and check it with them! It could be all good, most of the times is!... but there are alot of con-artists on ebay so for the matter of a phone call to check the authenticity.... I'd say it's worth it! also check with samsung if they sell the spares themselves or they will give you the name of an authorized stockist of their spares!! Worth checking out their prices!
Good luck!

[Q]Lcd Broken HELP!!

Today I had the worst accident My phone fell and a door closed on it. I want to know if the screen and digitizer on our phone is the same as those on I9000 (galaxy s) because they seem to be cheaper in Greece where I live. Any suggestions of cheap international online shops is deeply appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Please, if you already make a [Q] in the title, post it in the Q&A Thread, this is not related to development!
new screen costs around 180$ right? (rediculous price tbh) if i remember correctly.
maybe sending it to samsung is even better
I wanted to do this and roght now I was going to edit my post to tell everyone that there is no Thread for Q&A only for I9001 so I did it in here

Brood I do not care for a genuine Samsung screen just one to work! In Greece it is about 100 Euros and 60-70 Euros on eBay and I do not think they are genuine in either case.

Our Q&A thread is hidden in I9000 Q&A thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252697)
make sure is not the i9003's screen, because is a different type of screen (9000: amoled - 9003: super lcd)
Emmm... Screen or only glass and digitizer is broken? That's is very important. Becouse new glass and digitizer cost less than 60-70$ and it's easy accessible on ex. ebay.

Its impossible to replace the digitizer without damaging the amoled. They sell the item but its useless.
Amoled, digitizer and the Gorillaglas are guled together, forever!

If you know what are you doing, then you can replace this
Both are broken screen and digitizer because when touching the screen the light do not light and when I make a call to my phone I can not answer it. So I am going for a screen and digitizer has anyone tested anything or has anything to propose. I am looking for the cheapest and most sure to work combination. Thank you all for your replies
OK. Last question I am thinking to buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Whi...437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d066c387d
I have the black SGS+ so I thought to also change the color! Will it be suitable for my phone or I will have trouble in assembly because of the other parts included?
I9000 and I9001 are the same in dimension, the only thing that is different is the camera and cpu. I thought it was explained before in this post. Take the phone to a service with the newly bought lcd/digitizer and they will fix it.
Oh, and don't complain about prices, if you want your phone to be fixed and work as new, pay some cash. Otherwise try fixing it yourself

[Q] Connections for Jtag Samung Galaxy 8.9 Tablet

I have got a Riff Jtag Box from ebay, I have recently bricked my Samsung galaxy tablet 8.9 by installing a bad rom, although I found a youtube video about jtag and how to jtag. I received the jtag box and now I need the correct connections to solder the wires on to my tablets mother board. All I need to know is where can I find the correct connection for the jtag box to connect to the mother board , Thank you
My Device Is A: Samsung galaxy tab 8.9
Bricked
Idk, but it probably makes a difference if your tab is a p73xx or an i957.

Check out mobiletechvideos.com They can jtag it for you cheaper than samsung.
Ok
I have heard of them, Only problem is that I am in Australia. I think there service is located in America.
Not many people offer jtag repair services here I dont think unless you take it to samsung.
Another problem is its on contract with A carrier.
Alirght Found A tech that might help paying $50 to reinstall the internal firmware see how it goes to tommrow will reply here then.
I donr know what anyone is on about but I took my device into the technicians and they could not retrieve the tablet no matter what. Even with jtag. This just goes to show JTag does NOT save all devices that get bricked during firmware installations.
Anyway I have bought A new tablet Samsung Galaxy 7.0 This time I am never rooting again.
I got a smaller screen since I now I have A computer and it would still do the same job.
Thanks anyway

Galaxy Tab S2 screen replacement

Why is it so hard to find any parts for this device?
I have managed to pretty severely crack my screen on my Tab S2, and unfortunately( never again), I did not buy the protection plan from Best Buy.
There is a local place close to where I live that will do the work, but wants to charge $350+ to replace the screen. Needless to say, that's not going to happen.
I've been scouring the interwebs to try to find a screen/digitizer I can purchase and attempt to replace on my own, but I can't find a single site selling parts for the Tab s2.
Anyone have any ideas? I haven't owned the tablet long at all and I would love to be able to repair it.
Thanks.

a diffrent approach to take and i would reccomend is to buy the screen yourself online, then take it to a shop (maybe the one you mentioned) and asked them to install the glass on your device, this way you only pay them for the manual labor

That would be great, but the whole point is that I can't find anywhere that sells the screen.
If they want $350 to replace the screen, I would simply buy another Tab S2 on Craig's List. If you look a bit, you can find Tab S2 8.0's for less than $300 on Craig's List. I bought mine brand-new on Craig's List with the official Samsung book cover for $280.

It just surprises me that there are sites that sell replacement parts for every other Samsung tablet and phone on the market, but nothing for the Galaxy Tab S2.

Yes, its totally ridiculous that no one sells it. You can buy a LCD with Digitizer on Ebay for about $250 from China. I found another place that I think is in California but they want you to buy a minimum of 2 LCD's. What kind of crap policy is that??

I think the reason is that it requires a special "heating box", to even open the case on an S2. You have to heat the entire tablet to a certain temp to melt the glue to open the case. I have yet to be able to even determine what that temp is. This should be warning to every S2 owner to be double sure to get a protective screen for their tablets.
Hi. Another question. What can we say about screen compatibility between T710 & T713 or T810 & T813 (and their respective 4G versions) ? Are they switchable?

I've succeeded in opening an 810 using a simple household steam iron and an xacto knife. The problem is that a replacement screen cost as much as buying a used tablet. And the risk of breaking something in attempting to replace it yourself is fairly high.

And the answer is pretty much irrelevant anyway. Even though the screens are interchangeable, I doubt very seriously if you'll find either one at a price that's less than what you'd pay for a used tablet. I've been looking for months on eBay for a T8xx with a good screen but something else bad, that I could buy for less than $225 and haven't found one yet. The cheapest I found for a new one is $250. That is less than what a used T810 in decent condition would cost, but I'd have no guaranty it would fix the bad tablet. The bad one boots and I can hear audio messages when I turn it on, but what if there is something else wrong other than the screen itself causing it to be blank?

Hi; If you have the patience, you can just buy a digitizer, and replace that... it's about 1/4th the cost. I've noticed the digitizer for the Tab A 8.0" looks identical to the digitizer for the S2, I wonder if they are the same? I know the lcd in the S2 is not the same, but the digitizer, I suspect is... they're on ebay for about $15.95
---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------
The temp to release the glue is 60 Celcius/140 degrees F.

s2 uses a special 4x3 amoled screen. The digitizer and led display is integrated into one assembly. Good luck finding that, it probably comes directly from samsung fabs, so its not going to happen for a reasonable price... Shops that offer repair are most likely scavenging parts from used/damaged units they buy. Most common you find worn battery, broken usb port, or cracked screen. Seeing as how the display consists of 2/3 or more the bill of materials, it makes sense for them to charge so much. The labor and screen costs a ton. Keep in mind that the components on the mainboard are cheap, the soc is probably only 60$ or so... Batteries are like 10-15... Replacement usb port is pennies...
Generally when you break an amoled display or burn it in, you are SOL and have an expensive paperweight. It is like totaling the front end of a commuter car. Its not like an apple ipad screen that is mass produced and available directly from china for pennies.

hi there, do you have the link to the digitizer? I have sm-t719y with broken screen and lcd. I just want to extract some important data out of it. usb debugging is not turned on... tried this adapter but does not work with the Tab S2.

mhl has different versions. You should be able to find one that works. IIRC the white samsung chinese knock offs work, and are just a few $ us

I'm sorry to bump this but I have the same question as Beyaz66, but I believe the question was phrased a little confusingly. The actual question is if the different model screens are interchangeable with one another. For example, putting a T719 screen on a T713 model. I see the specs are basically the same and it seems only the appearance is different, but does anyone have any knowledge on this? Thanks!

Help me please. Replacement part question.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Help Please. I need help identifying the name to this piece of hardware. It's directly behind the screen of the tablet if you were to take it off. It's the only piece of silicon/circuit board. I need to replace the LCD display connector. I have already replaced the flex cable because I thought that was the problem when the screen stopped working in the beginning. Help would be great! I've been searching for over 2 weeks. I've even called Geek squad and several other companies to no avail. ~Michael
