I bought this S4 9500 off ebay second hand. When I switch it on the light on the screen comes on nothing else and switches off after approx 3 sec - no boot up etc. . When I press on/central menu botton +volume up I get this screen. Note it displays upside down. When i choose any of the options it seems switch off. Certainly does not respond any further.
The charging plug has been broken by previous owners - can this phone be saved?
Thanks for your help

Could you also elaborate a little further how I could prove this to ebay as I am trying to challenge the sale.
Many thanks again in advance

Iam not to to sure but read about fakes and send screenshots to eBay so they also know it's a fake.Other than that Iam not to sure.I'll ask some friends if they could advice coz they buy a lot from eBay and might know what to do.

The bezels are much bigger than normal. The power button sits like 5mm under the screen on a regular s4. The side bezels are like 2mm big. It is a fake for sure

Supervielen dank nach D from Englands Sued-Ost Kueste!
Excellent reply thanks
I have copied some of the replies to the ebay resolution center discussion - and hope justice will be served;)
I have as a first thing of course uploaded these and other images to the resolution center communications.
Regards
Andrew

There is an app in the Play Store called, "Genuine Galaxy S4" (I cannot link it here as I have not posted enough yet for linking to be enabled on my account) It's very easy to find. It will confirm it's authenticity and I'm sure you could send kind of photo of the screen to eBay

Hope this helps

Upload more pictures , with and without cover, battery, take close ups, etc.
Because It does look identical to my original Samsung galaxy s4.
Idk how they know is fake.

    I have paid a lot of Money for the phone

    sufficiently visible
    difference in the display - simply frame around the screen
