Hey guys, so the screen on my galaxy mini is broken, after i was driving with it in my pocket. I think too much pressure might've pressed down on it and broke it. The touch/digitizer is still working however, but i cannot see 4/5 of the screen, it is just white. I know the touch is working because i can see movement in the small section i can see when i turn it on and play around with the screen.
So, my questions are, how hard is it to replace the lcd screen myself? if at all possible? and also where can i find a replacement screen? are there any special tools/accessories i must need to replace it?
Help will be MUCH appreciated!
i would recommend u to go to samsung service centre and get it replaced
and please do not try to do anything urself with the phone
Just go to Samsung Service centre, this is the best option
a have the same problem with my galaxy teos.
and by trying to replace the screen I manage to damage my phone more.
so
Samsung Service centre,
this is the best option

Hi
I have found a place to buy the touch screen separate. So I can change it. But I don`t know how. Is the a simple way to do this, or do you have to take the hole phone apart? Like the wizard here http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Diamond Service Manual.pdf tells me to do.
Or is it me that don`t understand?
Please help me.
Sorry for bad English
Best regards

I notice this was not answered - perhaps because the answer is yes you must follow the service manual dismantling steps! There are no short cuts or quick ways to replace the screen.
Disassembly will void any warranty you may have. If in doubt send it for repair.

Hi be very carefull with the screen , i just changed my lcd at a HTC service center, the screen is composed of 3 parts the digitizer (touch screen), lcd display, and the front cover ( the metal that you see around the screen), all this parts are changed in one piece, you cannot change only the touch screen or the lcd because, it can be done without damaging the lcd. Dont buy from ebay only the touch screen because you wil and up breaking your phone.
Ps the screen ( front cover, touch screen, lcd display) cost me 110 euro.
Here are some pictures of my old screen.
Hello, I am a true noob so please forgive me if I sound dumb.
I had a broken screen so I bought a new one on Ebay. I changed it perfectly, it looks good but now when I touch the screen it acts like I touched the top left corner (in portrait)no matter where on the screen I touch (so it opens up the "Start" menu). In landscape it acts like I touched the top right so it opens up the drop down menu with all the running programs.
I would really appreciate some help. I try re-aligning the touch screen but it does not recognize any touches at all. I have to soft reset the phone to get out of the re-align program.
I don't want to hard reset because I have read many cases where the phone gets stuck in align program as it is trying to setup and they have to install remote access or something to get around it.
I would like advise on whether it is the new screen or the phone. Is there something I can check for inside or should I send the screen back for a replacement.
Thank you for your help.
Having replaced the touch screen in a Palm with success, I would say that...
You either have a problem with the connector for the screen, recheck the connection
Someone sold you a bad screen.
Something else is wrong with the device.
At this point I don't know that in your position I wouldn't do a hard reset. What is the worst thing that can happen? The device is already broken in it's current state.
Good luck.
Thank you
Thank you very much for your help. I will try the connector. if it does not look damaged then I will return the screen.
Did you replace just the screen itself, or the screen and the digitizer? More than likely your digitizer is broken aswell. If you replaced them as a set, request a new one from wherever you got it, and if you just replaced the LCD, then you need to buy a digitizer aswell.

Well, I only received the screen. I cant figure out where the digitizer is on the tilt so I don't know if I changed it or not. Does any body have any picture??
I think I read somewhere that it all comes as one piece(the screen and digitizer), but I can't confirm it.
Indeed they most of the time do come as one peice, so if your connection is good on the mobo, then I would say that the digitizer you recieved is bad. The digitzier is the super thin peice of glass that covers the LCD screen.
I broke the screen. Help.
There's no cracks. Just that I can't see anything but some blue lines and some green lines and a little white patch. Help.
What the hell am I supposed to do now? I can't breathe without my phone. Please help. Anyone.
I'm in Pakistan and don't know what to do. The city I live in doesn't have a Samsung Sales Center or Care Center or whatever it is. Please help.
Unfortunately we dont have a magic screen repair kit if the glass is broke .
If you actually mean the screen is not showing rather than broke then a Factory Reset is first solution .
Hold down power button until phone reboots .
If you have success ok if not its a Samsung Service centre .

I tried lots of reboots, no luck.
And it's not broken, I mean there's no cracks. I have the feeling something got dislodged or something. Can a normal phone technician do something about that? [Because there's certainly no cracks]
hello.
i got a galalxy i9001. Due to service the Touchpanel (digitizer) is working but the display itself is not working. They won't repair it because they say the warranty of Samsung doesnt charge for this kind of malfunction. I can get a Display from a i9000 for half the money of a display from a i9001. Are they compatible?
Replacing only the display without the digitizer should be really difficult, since those parts are glued together.
The front module (display, digitizer, frame) of I9000 and I9001 should be the same, so if you can separate the parts it should work with the new display.
Though as long as the screen is not broken or the phone got wet or something like that Samsung's warranty should cover that. Maybe you got some lazy and greedy service center there :\
i have kinda the opposite problem, i have an i9000 in the shop, all smashed uop, and i have a bricked i9001 , i switch the boards round as to create one good phone, great success, except now the capacitive buttons do not work, any help?
As far as i know they are not fully compatible. Minimum the electrical connections seems to be different pinned. So for example after a change of an (complete) i9000 display to an i9001 device the automatic brightness control didn't worked....and additional that adjusting was then broken on i9000 after rechange.
So be careful or you do not mind when such functions are not working anymore.
