Screen Replacement

---

I bought a screen replacement for my crack screen off ebay for a great deal:

Yes, it came from china and I hope this screen will work when I replace my crack LCD screen on my phone. How did the screen cracked? Well, I have a desk chair with a roller on the bottom. I kind of roll over it :/ I feel so ashamed hurting my precious phone lol.

Did you get it yet? I've been monitoring this post, since I also have a cracked screen and don't want to spend $200+ dollars on replacing or insurance. Please keep me updated on this. Thanx in advance.

don't want to burst your bubble, but that is the digitizer only. i think its really really hard to separate the two from each other. that is why they are so expensive to buy. but hey, might as well try if it is already broke. i understand the lcd is fine btw. i replace screens pretty often and with Samsung, you usually have to buy them fused already. guess it couldn't hurt to try though. good luck to ya, you may need a heat gun and thin wire. keep us updated when it comes in. I'm sure we all would like to know how it goes. good luck

i looked at the listing again, and i don't see any digitizer ribbon. so it looks like no digitizer is even on it. just the lens, but maybe you knew that and this is what you're looking for?

Yes only for the screen len, not digitizer. I figure I bought it then trying to find the link to replace the screen without digitizer. All of them mention it hard to accomplish. I should had bought the screen with digitizer, but hey I will see how it goes...

just my opinion is to find complete digitizer and lcd fused together, or else you are going to have a bad time. they are very expensive, but it shouldnt be too hard to do as long as you take your time. if you found a digitizer+lens, with out the lcd, it will be really difficult. heat gunning then getting something super thin to slide down to cut between your good lcd and cracked digitizer without scratching the lcd. ive done it on an iphone 4 and the lcd was scratched from it, but it did still work and i didnt break the lcd. if you do lens only, im not sure if you will be able to get the actual digitizer off of the original lens without tearing it an then placing it on the new lens with out bubbling up or anything. i would hate for you to be out a phone for a while. good luck to you sir
