Replace it on your own
Unfortunately I dropped my note and it broken the screen and also i not possible to see the display [only i can see 25% of display on top].
I don know about what you mean digitizer... I enquiry the service shop they said need to replace the both the screen and display.
May i know some links for where to buy both the touch screen and display. Can you please advice. Thanks in advance. Thanks
With the galaxy the digitizer is part of the LCD. It sounds like your LCD is broken. What I recommend is to look for one that has a cracked glass and a bad esn and replace the glass and put your motherboard in it. If you shop correctly you can get this for 60-90. I actually know where there is one in a lot that I can get for about 250 for 3 phones if you want to go in on it with me. I have no use for the note. And when all is said and done you can sell the motherbooard cuz it is clean. So in the end it will prob cost you 40-50.
If you decide find one on your own here is how to replace just glass.
I have only been doing this type of repair for a little 6 months now and I have a 95% success rate with 3% failure rate happening within the 1st 10 repairs and the other 2% were a few that I believe were already on the verge of breaking and I missed the signs. And I have successfully performed well over 150 repairs on S2's (which is what I started with) S3's, S4's, Note, Note 2, Note 3 and Mega.
If you want to replace it successfully without damage I can give you some tips.....
1st. I have a solvent that in conjunction with heat will successfully remove any Glass from an LCD assy (without a backlight) by gently running molybendum wire under the glass. (I do this just for piece of mind. I have tested this stuff on old LCD's and literally pulled the glass off with my hands very easily without damaging the LCD at all!
With this solvent the entire assy can soak for up to 20 mins.
1st heat the solvent up slightly to approx 80degrees Farenheit.
Then heat the LCD up to temp. 110 degrees farenheit (and keep it at that temp for at least 2 mins. (hair dryer, Heat gun, or my fav, an Iron).
Then place the Assy with the motherboard and all components removed face down in solvent for 15 mins.
Remove and slide wire under the glass starting from one of the top corners. It should go right through like warm butter.
If you feel any resistance stop, heat it up with only a hair dryer to 90 degrees and soak for 5 min and you will not have a oreblem removing.
