These guys have great video on their website showing the steps. I watched it a few times before I tore mine open.

Yes, we have a video guide too for this model.

Some people prefer the video guide, some people like the written guides.

Hope both help.

If you prefer the video guide to take apart your Samsung Fascinate, we have this available as well as a downloadable version of the guide above!

Hello there


I was just about to make a thread and I seen this.

OK well here is the quick story.

I basically found this phone In a parking lot with the main part of the phone, the back cover(with the plastic protective film from when you first buy it on there), and the battery seperated from each other a few feet apart.
After some quick looking I found I was a fascinate sch-i500, and it seems as if it was a brand new phone before this damage was done to the screen...kinda weird it would be. As you can see, the screen is cracked/ damaged pretty good BUT what I also quickly noticed was that it seems certain things are functioning. The on screen capacitive buttons light up and the phone vibrates. While I obv can't see, the phone is responding to my touches from certain sounds I'm hearing.

In trying to get this phone back to life, I would like to try to spend as less as possible. Now I have never replaced a phones LCD before so I can say I don't quite understand it all.

What I dont understanding is how can the touch screen be cracked as bad as it, yet it still seems to be functioning as it should?

This digitizer that you guys refer to, is this a must in this replacement or can I just replace the cracked screen. Id like this project to cost me as least as possible

Like I said I'm glad I came across this thread before I made my own thread. I hope you guys can help me out.

Thank you to the op and the xda community.

On this model the LCD and the glass touch screen digitizer are fused together. To fix the phone you will need the screen replacement. You can find this screen here - Samsung Fascinate Screen Replacement

Simply swap the screens over and your phone will be like new again.

Hey your reply is very much appreciated.

I see that the price is. 109. I did some searching. I can get a used fascinate for half that price. Lol So you can see why I wouldn't want to spend 109.
