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.

I've just replaced the LCD display on my kaiser and it works fine as a display, but the touch function doesn't work at all. The part numbers are the same (60H00091-00M) and so is the type number (TD028TTEB3).
I don't think I have damaged anything in assembly or disassembly - using instructions from this forum. The screen was new and the old one worked before being dinkled with a key in my pocket.
Is there anything I may have missed, easy to damage or misalign etc which I can check before hunting for a new screen or phone?
Thanks,
You need a digitizer too. Most ebay shops only sell a replacement lcd screens without that part (if you got it from there). So if yours didnt say it had a digitizer on it/with it, you won't have any touch input. The part number might match a good copy from China or whatever, but might not be an original screen.
Thanks for the reply.
This screen was brand new and did have the digitiser, but I'm guessing it was second or reject stock.
The ribbon cable connection from the digitiser to the screen had been re-soldered badly and one leg was shorted to the frame. I've resoldered this and the screen is now working properly again.
Well, I fixed my old broken G1 with new screen, touchscreen panel, case and keyboard.
Now I have 2 issue:
1) Sometimes my touchscreen goes grazy!! If I use the touch test application I see that sometimes when I touch the screen in an area there is another virtual touch in another zone of the screen. I read that it can depend from the current source when I charge the phone.. but I'm going crazy!! I opened my phone 10 times (I thought there was a problem in the cable that link TouchPanel to LCDPanel, because when I lock the cable with the clip it tends anyway to go out from the connector, now I put some scotch tape to fix but the problem is here.. so I think is another problem).
2) My volume rocker doesn't work!!
I bought 2 new keyboard to fix this problem, but no one of that fixed the problem. I thought the first new keyboard had volume keys broken, so I bought another one, but the problem persists!!
Now the Touch problem rarely happens, but the volume rocker is completely unusable..
Someone have experience about G1 assembling/repairing ?
Thanks and sorry for bad english
if you have put in multiple keypads have the same issue i would assume that it is the connection going to the motherboard. just a guess there but its either that or you have had a bunch of faulty keyboards.
only other thing would be a software problem
does the keypad work in recovery (let you go up down throughout the list) ?
as for the touch screen, probably need a new digitizer or flex cable, both are cheap and it sounds like you have the knowhow to replace them.
Ok, but digitizer is new!! screen also is new, and I have bought a total of 4 flex cable because I see that they are fragile (I broke the first I bought).
I tried to change flex cable but the problem remain the same.
The only thing that can be damaged is the LCD cable that links to the flex cable: it has a small cut where the cable have a curve, but the cut don't reaches the contacts (the cable is transparent). I also use some glue and scotch tape to mantein lock the cable.
The digitizer cable is connected to the LCD cable, and then they go to the flex cable that connect them to the motherboard.
The strange thing is that seems a software issue, because if I turn off and than turn on the screen, the problem is fixed for some seconds, minutes and sometimes hours...
Another strange thing is the possibility to control the screen with some metal objects from the moment that the virtual touch problem appear (I can control the screen also without touch it, with hand and piece of metal)
video:
have you tried a factory reset if you think it may be a software issue? if that dosent work you can try install a whole new rom.
really it sounds like it isnt the hardware since you appear to know what youre doing. i have a had a few phones that had screen (digitizer) issues and a new rom flashed cured it just fine
since you dont mind putting a few dollars into it, and your familiar with the inside, you can always try to pick up a cheap motherboard or spare phone from ebay or what have you, then swap the motherboard and you could then hopefully find out if it is the hardware or software

Huh sounds like you got a cheap digitizer than. Most good digitizers use heat to touch. If it's literally touch, then sounds like its a fake/meh digitizer. i hate the digitizers that aren't heat, but press. I see them all the time in those first samsuck touchscreen phones. And they usually die in a bit. I had a Samsung behold with a screwed up digitizer

Yes I flashed 3 or 4 roms after a wipe (I tried also super-wipe.zip), but the problem is here..
The digitizer works well some times, but sometimes get crazy (you can see in the video).
I don't that my new digitizer is fake, but I really don't know!
BTW I'm trying to repair my phone for fun (now I have desire z) and because I am fascinated by my old G1.
PS:
I see another strange issue--
If I touch the screen when the phone is on a table the screen digitizer is not very sensitive and can't take input from fingertips.
If I touch the screen when the phone is in my other hand, the screen digitizer is a lot more sensitive and it take input from fingertips.
My impression is that there is an electric field or something similar that disturbs the digitizer, and when I take the phone in my hand I discharge that field to ground. Also when I turn off the screen, seems that the electric field discharge so when I turn on the screen is ok, but after some seconds the field returns to disturbs the screen.
I really don't know, but is the impression that I have.. something that is not shielded.
Now I'll try to use my phone in airplain mode.
Thanks guys, I'm happy to see that this forum is still very active
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
Hello to you guys from XDA.
The situation is the following: I have a small Samsung Galaxy Pocket that has its home button broken. It simply does nothing when I press it.
And I also have another issue. The phone doesn't vibrate anymore. It all started in the end of the last year... Maybe the vibrator motor is dead?
But I tried to open my phone (and I actually did manage to open it) and I ended up severing the display flat cable. So instead of having only one issue I have three. And the worse: my phone is already out of warranty - it has been more than a year since I bought it.
And I actually found out that the home button is part of the motherboard itself, not a separate piece like in newer Samsung phones, and that the vibrator motor is placed together with the loudspeaker and the GPS receiver in a single, removable assembly.
So, I know that the display can be replaced, but what about the vibrator and the home button? Can they be fixed? And if yes, should I spend my money with that or should I leave this all aside and buy a new phone? What do you guys think?
Note: I'm posting my question here because my phone doesn't have a forum on XDA. I hope you understand.
hi!
the lower part of my tab doesnt seem to respond to touch.. while the screen is alright with no crack or scratches but the touch doesnt seem to work in that particular section.
now, do i need to replace the whole lcd or just the digitizer?
thanks
It all depends on whether you have the right conditions to peel the digitizer from the display and re-glue it back on. You won't always get the original digitizer with your purchase so you may encounter surprises.
It's a shame that instead of doing a little reading, you immediately start a new thread with a question, repeated many times on the Internet.
