[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!

ribbon needed :(

hello all,
i live in Pakistan and i bought a motorola milestone a long time, the phone fell off the table and the screen broke so i somehow found a digitizer for the screen and tried changing it very carefully but at the end ribbon attached to the screen got torn apart. I have looked for it all over the country almost but i can't find the ribbon, what to do?

Have you tried eBay?
Some chineses resellers should still have those parts.

They only have paypal support and paypal is not avialable in pakistan

Hi

[Q] Screen crack and bleed

Hello
As you can tell I'm a noob so be gentle
My son dropped his sensation xl beats and cracked the screen and now he has a black bleed which I presume means the LCD is also stuffed. Thought I was fine as its insured but surprise surprise I called the ins company and told them what happened and they won't pay out as he is 15. No one mentioned the age when I insured it so that will teach me not to read the small print:crying:
When he first smashed the screen I ordered a digitiser on eBay as was going to change it myself after looking at tutorial but now I see the bleed I think it's a whole LCD job. What do you guys and gals think?
I've looked at screen repairs and its well over £100. The phones still under a year old and has been back to htc twice due to lock button and case issues and they still failed to complete it properly the first time but this obviously a user error so can't even go there.
Any suggestions please?

Ohh crayky!!! To be honest with u mate u basically said what lots of us would suggest u. It's Very nasty what the company said really, would be fuman mate. I think I personally would not bother as u could mess up more while ur trying to replace the LCD part too. If u got money to pay that much money to repair, u could easily save some more pennies and get a second hand on ebay as the praces of our XL getting cheaper when u wana buy them second hand!

Thanks for reply. The xl's are going for about £150 on eBay so would probably repair. Can you just confirm that if I can see a black bleed its more than just a digitiser/glass?

Does the phone powers up? I'm not technician myself but I think if it does that means black bleed is more then just a digitiser. By the way did they actually gone down to £150!!? That's really crazy cos I actually believe our lovely XL are worth more then that!! Good luck mate.

Have you checked your house content insurance to see if you are covered for accidental damage?

Yep just called them and awaiting a call back but have checked and I do have accidental cover with a £150 excess
Not having much luck but hey ho!
HTC say they cant give me a quote unitl they look at it but I am looking £100 + but it's looking like its worth it as I have over a year apparently to run on warranty. I thought it was 12 months but its 24 months warranty so if they replace the screen :crying: it bring it back under warranty:good:

well ongoing saga the home ins have a £150 excess and they will on repair with a non HTC repairer so this will invalidate the warranty so I will have to book it in to HTC

[Q] Sent HTC One to repair?

hey
Me and my one just fallen down the stairs about 4 weeks ago. Since then I did not have the heart to send it to Avarto (german repair center). But I am even not quite sure if I need to sent it in.
So the following is damaged on my device:
-As you can see on photo 1 the left side is definitely crooked
-The display is coming out of the device a bit (Photo 2) I can press it it but it does come out again. Touch doesnt seem to be affected by this issue though...
That are the only things I could notice anything else works fine. But what in about 3 Months? may the display come off the panel or something? What do you think? Should I sent it in to Avarto? Some other users said that Avarto just sent their phone back after 1 week repaired, other said that their phone was completely damaged...
Thanks for help!
Robin
BTW: I can still use my original HTC Case
Picture One:
Picture Two:

Avarto said that I need to pay 29€ if they sent it back unrepaired.

That's awful, I would repair it myself since you won't get warranty for that anyway!

[TUTORIAL] How to fix HD7 WI-FI Problem ( WI-FI won't turn on )

watch the video
if this was useful please click in THANKS button !!! :good:

How does this work?
I thought solder flux was just to keep the surface clean while soldering. How does this 'repair' the solder on the pins?(assuming that's the problem)
I am going to try this very soon, the wifi on my hd7 broke 1,5years ago and I have never found a solution. I have sent it to HTC, but they just sent it back saying it wasn't broken.

You're better of just buying a broken hd7 or look on eBay and replace that board. My hd7 had the same problem. I ended up upgrading to a Nokia 521. My aunt gave me her hd7 that had a cracked screen, but I never switched the boards out yet.
