@ari Camberos Most people assume that the model number of their Note is "Galaxy Note 3" It is not. It is N900T, N900A, N900V... etc. If you buy the pre-assembled display with a mid-frame included make sure that your model matches or else it won't fit. AT&T and T-Mobile are interchangeable. Verizon, Sprint, overseas version- all have their own design.
I have a question. I damaged my note 3. when I turn it on nothing happens but the phone vibrates but before I saw the crack and the screen was just showing weird stuff but now it's a blank screen. Why does that mean? Because I'm gonna change the screen.
Thanks so much. I dropped my note 3 and the LCD shattered. My friend had a spare note 3 that had a damaged board. I used his housing and switched the boards and other parts around.... and my phone works perfectly now. I followed along with your video and your instructions were perfect. You saved me $200+! Thank you :)
Awesome video, this helped me get through the ordeal of changing my screen over! The only problem was, I had to change over some extra parts that are already built into your replacement screen, and that made me REALLY nervous. But it all worked in the end. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Dude, I love you. My digitizer broke while climbing a ladder (too much pressure in my pants pocket). I swapped parts from 2 phones around and now it works!!! Thank you so much!
@Bipin Singh It should. Sounds like your AMOLED was damaged. If you try looking at the screen closely from different angles you might be able to see a crack or cracks on the inside but sometimes they are not visible.
@xXxMaXiMuZxXiLx Yes, it sounds like your display and digitizer are damaged. The stylus still works because it has a completely separate sensor located behind the AMOLED. All of the Note 3 *displays are compatible but if you buy one with the mid-frame already installed as shown in the video then there are differences in the board layout. If you follow the link in the video description and look at the parts in the right hand column they will work with your device but take a little more labor as you will need to preserve the original mid-frame and replace the S-Pen flex cable as well.
This video MOSTLY matches T-Mobile Note 3 product that Go Cell Phone Repairs sells, but not quite. I had to move the components for the power button, headphone jack, and front camera from the old phone--which is NOT in the video. The process required the same technique as the rest of the video, so it was not a disaster. But you have to pay attention.
1000 Thank You's!!!! This helped me to save the data behind the blackened screen! Too expensive to find a replacement screen, so I bought a 2nd hand Note-3 for a decent price. Just replaced the bigger board (no need for a heat gun or anything to pry out the small one) and It Is Working!!! All my data saved!!! Looked like I had to put all screws back in before I could try to restart, but that worked in the end. So relieved….. ;-)
Thanks for the video! I purchased the item on the link for the Note 3 N900. The replacement was not exactly like yours which had all the sensors, power button and headphone jack but those were easy to move, it just requires patience. My tools were a screw driver used to fix eyeglasses, a Bic pen top and a blow dryer.
love you lots dude. You saved me 65 quid with this guide. my digitizer came without many components but they were very easy to remove for the broken screen.
Thanks this video saved my data, pics, videos, etc... I had dropped my note 3 and broke the digitizer and there was no way for me to get my data. after I got my insurance replacement in the mail I tried every which way I could think of to access the data on the broke device. Then I came across this video. I switched out the motherboards, pulled my data off, and switched back. Copying my data to new phone now.! ;-)
I replaced the screen as per ur instructions everything worked great except now the menu button and home button arent working i think the pick grabbed the adhesive strip under the menu button and could have caused it to not work. Can u tell me what the part is called and how to repair this? Awesome tutorial btw worked like a charm and i used alcohol and a elbow grease with an lcd cleaning cloth to get the glue off worked great. Thought id share. Thanks!!
I wish you luck with that but don't be surprised if that doesn't happen. There's a long list of reasons why phone repair shops don't like to sell parts to customers. Maybe enough to make a video about the topic. The short story is that shops don't make much if anything on selling parts. It's all in the labor. Also, there is an element of liability since the part could potentially be damaged during installation.
Where'd you find that sweet pre assembled kit? My vibrating motor is messed up along with my display as well, and I think it'd be worth the extra money for me not to have to reassemble some of the smaller parts that came on your new setup already
Had to order two lcds. Your video made it so easy. Thank you so much. First lcd was bad. Second one worked like a charm. Amazon.com refunded money promptly.
Excellent video this give me the knowledge to deal with samsung Phones .. I do iPhones & Lg ... Thanks ... My Friend ... Top Notch Video ... Where did you get the Samsung screen from? I am working on Samsung galaxy note3 verizon ...
Hi there appreciated for what you've done here. Mine has just couples of scuff and dents on it bezel it is Gsm version I just wondering if I can replace the bezel only? I already asked this problem to Samsung service center unfortunately they don't cover this warranty as a user fault. Thanks for the advize
It is possible but not easy and somewhat risky to the display. Theoretically you can used a special solution to remove the AMOLED from the mid-frame but without making a video it's a bit lengthy to describe the process and again very risky to the display until you've had some practice. I'll try to get something put together in the future for demonstration.
Haha yeah there's always a chance that the replacement part has a problem so that's the point where I usually find myself holding my breathe for a second.
Great video and well informative, You state (At time mark starting 3:22) that the front screen comes with the headphone jack and speaker and also the ear piece ..But when I click on your link the screen that I see on ebay has no headphone jack or speaker...etc? Is the picture wrong or did you change the item? Can you state what comes with it item please.. Again thank you
Yeah they change these sometimes and I might have just gotten lucky on this one. You can assume that the picture on the website is more accurate as it is automatically updated when the description changes. You'll want to transfer those from the old frame. This is best accomplished using a heat gun and of course remove any screws where necessary like the one holding the headset jack in place and pry very carefully.
Hi daughter as the note 3. screen cracked and no display, this is not just a glass replacement, what other parts could be damaged? Phone actually works just no display???????????????
thank you very much sir! now u make me have the hope that my Note3 can be repaired perfectly. It just slipped from my hand and fell on the ground, the ink ran in the entire screen and it got dark. But i want to know sir, if the repairer chances the screen, will it be durable as the screen that came with it?? i hope to ur response to repair it or nah. thanks!
It should be. They are original Samsung displays fitted with new glass. As long as you are dealing with a reputable seller they should be using tempered glass like the original.
Hey thanks for the video, I have a question though; I have a N900w8 CDMA note 3 (mexican version same as canadian) i recently dropped it and it landed on the corner. The lcd itself has a small crack in it and now the screen wont light up at all and its not responsive to touch. I can still use the s pen to unlock it though, and everything else works fine. I assume that if part of the lcd is cracked then I have to replace everything right? Also I cant find a screen specifically for the N900w8, will any model work properly? thanks in advance
thank you for your video , but i have a question please when you buy this house with the new screen it's coming with the frame ? and is the quality of this screen the same like the original one ???? and what about the front camera i didn't see anything about it in your video ?? if you can answer me please , my screen and my frame is broken and i want to buy now house and do as you did in your video . thank you .
You can buy it either way, It costs a bit more with the mid-frame but that will save you some time and make you bezel new again. Please check the links in the video description for more information.
The front camera is not replaced so if yours has problems you will have to buy one separately. The AMOLED is produced by Samsung so quality is the same. The outside lens is after market but in my experience equal to the original.
Did you replace the screen digitizer or the glass? Thinking about replacing mine but if I have to buy a new screen digitizer, then I won't bother. It's for my dad and I guarantee he'll break it again and I'm not going to keep doing this if that's the case. I've replaced the digitizer in my S4 before, quite fun actually, but I'm not paying to keep my dad satisfied with fresh screens. Looks like the digitizer to me.
Only real difference with the logic board is there isnt the one black screw to hold the motherboard in place like the s3/s4 i9500 and the i9505 model . Nice video bro !
I have a green vertical lines on my note 3. I never dropped it. Just saw the lines appear as I was charging my phone. Do you have an idea if it's screen related or some other hardware inside the phone that maybe going out?
Sukhi Rai normally that would be something internal u can try backing up your phone and factory resetting it check if it goes away before restoring your back up .
Hey... looks like LCD screen got damaged due to impact like you stated that the force is transferred underneath the glass screen. I'm definitely thinking of purchasing 1 from your inventory. Looks like you have it for a reasonable price compared to other full LCD's with frame that I've browsed online. How long would it take for it to arrive at my destination? I'm in Illinois!
I don't know the exact time but it shouldn't be more than a few days. If you initiate the purchase you should get an shipping time estimate before you checkout.
If you buy the complete assembly as shown in the video make sure to buy one that is compatible with yours by checking the model number. There are differences in the mid-frame that prevent the boards from fitting if you have a different carrier. If you need the N900A those are the big image links at www.gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Hi I have a samsung note 3 that had the static screen issue. I unplugged the screen and the phone boots normally and led indicators work. The soft keys stay lit up and phone vibrates every couple of seconds. Is this just the lcd needing replaced? I tried plugging screen back in and it was the same as before static and blue indicator with no sound.
Hello there.. Thanks for the information. Just wanted to ask if there are issues when it comes to s pen sensitivity after just replacing the glass cover. I use the pen a lot for writing and just wanted to know whether it made a noticeable difference. Thanks. Appreciate the reply.
*If* you can do just the glass then the S-Pen functionality should not be affected as the flex is behind the AMOLED. However, if you buy the one piece lens/digitizer/AMOLED *without* the mid-frame you will want to get a new S-Pen flex as they are easy to damage when you pull out the old assembly. Safest way is to get the whole part: www.gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Thanks a lot. I was just asking regarding the front glass cover, as I dropped my phone and the glass cover cracked. However, the touch and the spen still works pretty good. There are many guys here selling the cover, how do I know if the part is original and if it isnt does it make a big difference? Thanks
You won't get an original as Samsung does not sell them separately. It's just a piece of glass though as the digitizer is adhered to the AMOLED itself. Good luck. The Note 3 is one that we do not do glass only as the glue that holds it on is very strong. Very easy to break the display in the process.
Go Cell Phone Repair "Good Luck" when provide dead links to replacement parts? Not very professional or friendly. On the upside, easy to eliminate you from a potential parts source. Thanks for the video though. Very well done and helpful.
You showed in the video a repair for the Verizon model that was one solid piece that includes the lens, digitizer, AMOLED and bezel, but when I go to purchase the replacement part you say that it does not come with the mid frame and that I would need to preserve my original mid frame and replace the s-pen flex. why does the video not show this process? Or is this NOT the repair for the CDMA model? I am completely new to this please help.
Yes we do repairs if you are nearby or want to send your phone in. As far as the glass goes it is difficult to say for sure as every company seems to throw terms like "gorilla glass" and "tempered" around without any way to really back it up. We do have a supplier that provides glass that seems to be comparable to what Samsung uses. For mail in repair: gomdwireless.com/mail-in-your-repair/
OK so my note 2 fell in some marinara sauce, but it was only the top quarter. I instantly cleaned it off and it was still working but all of a sudden, the screen went black but the sound still works perfectly. Is there a way I can fix it without having to get a new screen?
+Go Cell Phone Repair Do you know if the USB charge port dock on the website is the whole component or is it just the flex cable? For 8 bucks I might as well replace the charge port as well.
What is the little circular thing on the top left corner, on the web the image of the screen replacement does not have the thing on it, if it doesn't come with the replacement then how to move it onto another housing?
yi su That's the vibrator motor. Heat and careful prying will get it off just be sure not to put stress on the cable attached to it. It's best to get that pried away first.
I bought a new screen and I can't use this instruction because it is about taking parts from a faulty mobile. Hmm donow where to look for. Edit: I learned that the screen I bought is "without frame" so a bit different than this one. After watching the video and careful investigation, I fixed it. Thank you.
Do you know what version I can get for the N900W8 from Canada? From what I've seen it appears to be the same as the N900A but I'd like to confirm. Awesome video, I recognize the voice from a few other repairs I've done. Thanks for the video.
I wish I knew. There doesn't seem to be much info on the Canadian versions for some reason. The display is universal but as far as the mid frame it's hard to say. If it's GSM then it should be compatible with the N900A but I don't want to give you the wrong answer. Please let us know if you confirm what it is.
Keir Parsons Alright so I did take it apart it is 100% a N900A, the board clearly has AT&T written right on it. the parts on the case are labeled N900A, as is the main board, USB, etc. Add that to your site and you'll be the only one selling direct N900W8 screens.
Keir Parsons Thank you very much for the follow up. I've been out of town for the last few days so I didn't see your messages until now. I will add the info to the video description and my website. Cheers.
I am trying to buy an AMOLED set to replace my old one, is there any different between N900 and N9005 ones? coz there is a price difference mine is N900 which is a bit more expensive
Timothy Elkins The first link in the video description will take you to a page with products. Just make sure that your model number matches the one that you buy as there are differences between some carriers.
Go Cell Phone Repair I've tried the link over and over and it just will not load... Will try again later but I've already came back several times and still nothing...
Hi there, I have a serious question. my wife has a N900pink one from oversea. the issue is it got front glass n digitizer broken. I am looking to buy the replacement. but I have google and searched all over the places... the issue is, they only makes N900A OR N900. does it compatible for the one we have? please advise?
I'm not sure which mid-frame you would need so it's probably best to buy just the display and attach it to your existing frame. That part by itself is universal.
hey i think i have the same phone ..i dropped it like 4months ago and the glass cracked and the screen went black ..it turns on but i can only hear i cant see..whats the problem ?
where can i buy a second screen already assemble like the one you already had? also how much will i be looking at? or is it cheaper if i only buy the replacement screen only?
There is a link in the description. You won't save much by getting the part without the mid-frame and if you buy the one shown in the video then any damage to the bezel won't be there anymore because you replace that too.
I replaced the glass on my Note3. I watched a video on Utube from a professional who said the screen had to be between 200-220 degrees Farenheit to melt the glue. I used a laser thermometer and was diligent about keeping the screen in that range. I got the glass off with no visible damage to the digitizer. However when I put the battery in to test, the screen is blank. Only the buttons are lighting up. I assume I ruined the digitizer. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or do I just have to replace? Also, what do you think I did wrong? Thanks
The AMOLED is very sensitive and the glue on the Note 3 is particularly strong compared to say the Note 2 or S4. I keep my hot plate at about 140C which would be more like 284 F and heat/pry in short intervals of about 7-8 seconds each. Your temperature might have been a bit low but it is also very easy to damage the display even when you have everything set properly. When we train technicians they usually break the first two or three despite direct supervision and feedback. Sorry to hear that you might have damaged yours but don't feel bad. This is not an easy process especially for the model that you are working with. It takes a lot of patience and practice to get a "feel" for it.
Hello!!! I did exactly as you show in the video!!! but when I try to start the phone I just got a flash on the screen and then it goes black... The replacement part I very sure is the correct one, everything fits perfect.. but I can´t make it work!!! Any Ideas?? REGARDS!!! P.S. Great Video!!!
hey, i just saw your video and i recently replaced my note 3 lcd and now i fnd that my spen no longer works. any thoughts? have all of the cables plugged in also.
Did your replacement part come with the mid-frame or did you re-use the old one? If you pulled the old screen out of the housing the S-Pen flex might have been damaged. I recommend replacing that part if you are keeping the original mid-frame.
omg its expensive to replace... :( Is there any other way I can fix this without forking over $190? It is the "inner screen" which i believe is the digitizer that cracked.. I don't mind doing some extra work by taking it apart. I ended up ordering the full frame and new screen/lcd. It honestly seems like a big pain in the butt taking the old screen off. Sad thing is that it is costing me more to replace the screen than I paid for the phone itself. Thanks for the vid!
Michael S I wish that there was. Without a contract this is a $500 phone and a lot of that value is the screen itself. If you sign up for another contract you can get it for less but of course in the long run it actually costs the price of your two year contract which will be a lot more than $190. Otherwise the price will eventually go down but it will be many months if not years before that happens.
Considering the fact that the full phone used to be over 700 dollars it is a bargain if you can change the entire front for that price... Throw in a new camera for 13 bucks and you're good as new
Hi, thanks for your video. I would like to replace only my middle housing (my screen is ok, just want to change the chrome bezel. Is it harder? how can i proceed please?
is there anyway i can replace the fake aluminium side panel of the note 3 ? my phone has lost the silver colour on the side now it looks like the plastic it really is i contacted a repair shop but they say it only comes with the full display included but i had changed the side panel on my note 2 and i think they were trying to trick me into changing more parts.
If you have Verizon then it is CDMA. If you remove your old screen from the existing mid-frame you will need a new display and the S-Pen flex. Removing the display is very similar to this ruclips.net/video/DSKqxDcFois/видео.html Be very careful at the bottom end as you don't want to damage the cable that operates the home button and soft keys. I always test them before peeling the adhesive off of the new screen because once you put it in removal is very risky.
Yeah. The A and T just stand for AT&T or T-Mobile. Those two are the same while the frames for Verizon, Sprint, and the overseas version are actually different.
I wouldn't recommend using the old frame as it is just a lot of work and you won't save much. Maybe $10 or so. If I get one as you described then I will make a video nut it is very similar to Galaxy S4 but with slightly different parts. The replacement display should come with adhesive on the back.
I have a quick question I have a note 3 sprint n900p body I would like to know if a n900T motherboard (note 3 tmobile) will work in the n900p body? How much moding would I have to do (I have a dremel and stedy hand) ha ha h
If you want to take your chances yes it can be done. You'll have to look carefully at the inside and grind off anything that gets in the way. Not the preferred method but should be possible. Did this with an S3 before.
When I placed an order for screen replacement (from other retailer) for Samsung Galaxy note 3 and when it arrived, the power flex cable was missing so I tried to transfer it from my Galaxy note 3. Unfortunately, the thin film of power flex cable was ripped off while i'm trying to pry the motor and the very small pcb underneath. If I order this screen replacement from Go Cell Phone Center, will it also include the power flex cable or not?
My note 3 was dropped from the bike. The screen is cracked and blank;nothing happens when I switch on the phone, except for the start up led light. Then it keeps vibrating at regular intervals. Cannot receive phone calls;my phone calls are diverted to my voicemail. I was wondering if this assembly will work for me. Thank you!
hi i wanted your advice, i dropped my note 3 and the screen is gone on it, as in phone turns on if some one rings it rings you can side it to answer it and take a call however the screen is off. you can not see anything you can here all the notifications sounds like its working however all you got is blank screen. what do you think do i need to do what you have done or do i need to do something different? hope you can help. Ash
You will almost definitely have to replace your AMOLED as in the video above. You can try opening the phone first, unplug and then reconnect the display cable just in case it was jarred enough during the drop to partially dislodge it. If it still behaves the same way then you are going to need a new screen.
Hello, I have a Note 3 N9005 and my screen is not broken, touch screen works but the ink is sort of bleeding. Bottom half of the screen is black and the other half was okay yesterday, but now it turned into purple. I guess it's an LCD screen issue behind the digitizer. Or it might even be digitizer, because I took a screenshot from the phone and sent it to another device while half of my screen was visible and the screenshot shows nothing wrong. I don't know, I'm thinking of changing the whole display, but as I understand the Digitizer and LCD are sold separately. I see that you changed the whole display in this video, but when I go to the link, there is just "LCD Touch Screen Digitizer". Does this mean it includes LCD and is the whole display, or just a digitizer?
That’s gonna be your amoled often referred to as lcd which is technically wrong but common. It’s bonded to the digitizer and glass. If you purchase an amoled or “lcd” assembly it should include all three.
Thank you for the replay.. :) I followed the link in the description for parts: www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-ATT-N900A-N900T-LTE-N9005-/253141784160?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 The titles are tricky. I guess "LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly + 1*Tools" this includes Amoled and digitizer as well. I know replacing just LCD is tricky, and probably will have to go for the whole display.
Yeah I was on mobile early so hard to write to much but the screen option people ask about the part that you linked to is the best option IMO since you don't have to worry about adhering the screen yourself. Just remember to transfer all og the small parts over.
Sounds like your AMOLED is broken. Try looking at it very closely from different angles. Sometimes there are small very hard to see cracks in the display.
hi . good video . and i need help plz . screen of my note 3 its cracked and isn t . i can see the photo perfectly but i can t use my hand just the pen i can use . so what i should do ? change screen or something inside it and thanks
Sounds like your digitizer is damaged. Since it is attached to the AMOLED unfortunately you will probably have to replace the whole display assembly as shown in the video.
If i repair my screen for my galaxy note i717, will it erase all my information? Oh and your video to change sim card slot really helped me alot. My phone is working alot better especially reading my sim card. Could i email you about my cellphone?
Replacing the screen should not effect your memory at all. You can contact me by visiting the website in any of the video descriptions and clicking on the contact link or email me here: mike @ gocellphonerepair.com
just needed a clarification. my note 3 neo's front glass cracked near the top speakers. no issues while using the touch screen or the pen works fine no issues with display as well. however wherever i asked, i.e. local repair and a samsung galary, they told me I have to repair the whole assembly that comes along with the touch screen. Only the glass replacement. is not possible...Is it true?
The procedure is the same but the mid-frame is different. If you get the pre-assembled one as shown in the video make sure that you get the GSM version. The Verizon frame will not fit your phone. If you buy just the screen and attach it to your old mid-frame it will work.
Hey great vid. Just wondering something. I dropped my phone about an hour ago and all seemed fine with it (I didn't bother to check damage immediately since it just fell out of my pocket, something which it does regularly since I am kind of clumsy) But when I tried to look at a message I got the screen just remained black. I restarted the phone by removing the battery and putting it back in and then boot it. all I saw was a small line of light. Nothing else. The LED above the screen responded like it should and everything else seemed to work just fine. The only issue seems to be my screen. After further inspection I discovered several cracks inside the screen. Like not just on the screen but actually inside it... I just shut the phone off and left it in its box for now. Maybe you can give some advice on what to do? I just bought the phone so you can understand I am not planning on buying a new one. Thanks in advance
Yeah unfortunately you've pretty much described what a broken AMOLED looks like. Very hard to see sometimes unless the light hits it just right. If you want to use the phone the display will have to be replaced.
+jamie9075 If the display and touch functionality are still present then it is just the glass that is broken. Otherwise you must replace the whole part shown in the video.
@ari Camberos Most people assume that the model number of their Note is "Galaxy Note 3" It is not. It is N900T, N900A, N900V... etc. If you buy the pre-assembled display with a mid-frame included make sure that your model matches or else it won't fit. AT&T and T-Mobile are interchangeable. Verizon, Sprint, overseas version- all have their own design.
I have a question. I damaged my note 3. when I turn it on nothing happens but the phone vibrates but before I saw the crack and the screen was just showing weird stuff but now it's a blank screen. Why does that mean? Because I'm gonna change the screen.
@Kahel Donoso Yes, the data is stored on the logic board.
Thanks so much. I dropped my note 3 and the LCD shattered. My friend had a spare note 3 that had a damaged board. I used his housing and switched the boards and other parts around.... and my phone works perfectly now. I followed along with your video and your instructions were perfect. You saved me $200+! Thank you :)
+Brodie Stephens Nice and congrats on also helping save the planet.
Awesome video, this helped me get through the ordeal of changing my screen over! The only problem was, I had to change over some extra parts that are already built into your replacement screen, and that made me REALLY nervous. But it all worked in the end. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Dude, I love you. My digitizer broke while climbing a ladder (too much pressure in my pants pocket). I swapped parts from 2 phones around and now it works!!! Thank you so much!
+Jeremy Weischedel Nice. Yeah thats why I hesitate to get a phone with a bigger display. Pocket stress heh.
@Bipin Singh It should. Sounds like your AMOLED was damaged. If you try looking at the screen closely from different angles you might be able to see a crack or cracks on the inside but sometimes they are not visible.
@xXxMaXiMuZxXiLx Yes, it sounds like your display and digitizer are damaged. The stylus still works because it has a completely separate sensor located behind the AMOLED. All of the Note 3 *displays are compatible but if you buy one with the mid-frame already installed as shown in the video then there are differences in the board layout. If you follow the link in the video description and look at the parts in the right hand column they will work with your device but take a little more labor as you will need to preserve the original mid-frame and replace the S-Pen flex cable as well.
This video MOSTLY matches T-Mobile Note 3 product that Go Cell Phone Repairs sells, but not quite. I had to move the components for the power button, headphone jack, and front camera from the old phone--which is NOT in the video. The process required the same technique as the rest of the video, so it was not a disaster. But you have to pay attention.
1000 Thank You's!!!! This helped me to save the data behind the blackened screen! Too expensive to find a replacement screen, so I bought a 2nd hand Note-3 for a decent price. Just replaced the bigger board (no need for a heat gun or anything to pry out the small one) and It Is Working!!! All my data saved!!!
Looked like I had to put all screws back in before I could try to restart, but that worked in the end.
So relieved….. ;-)
I followed step by step and everything worked out ,, thanks for this really help me out.
No problem and congrats.
Thanks for the video! I purchased the item on the link for the Note 3 N900. The replacement was not exactly like yours which had all the sensors, power button and headphone jack but those were easy to move, it just requires patience. My tools were a screw driver used to fix eyeglasses, a Bic pen top and a blow dryer.
The Bic pen top... is that what you used for prying?
love you lots dude. You saved me 65 quid with this guide. my digitizer came without many components but they were very easy to remove for the broken screen.
Yes, it was rigid enough to pry and the rounded edge helped avoid damage.
This has been the easiet most straight forward one yet!!! Thank you! ! Wish me luck!
Thanks this video saved my data, pics, videos, etc...
I had dropped my note 3 and broke the digitizer and there was no way for me to get my data. after I got my insurance replacement in the mail I tried every which way I could think of to access the data on the broke device. Then I came across this video. I switched out the motherboards, pulled my data off, and switched back. Copying my data to new phone now.! ;-)
Awesome. That's one thing that they overlooked with Android. No touch screen usually means do data transfer.
I replaced the screen as per ur instructions everything worked great except now the menu button and home button arent working i think the pick grabbed the adhesive strip under the menu button and could have caused it to not work. Can u tell me what the part is called and how to repair this? Awesome tutorial btw worked like a charm and i used alcohol and a elbow grease with an lcd cleaning cloth to get the glue off worked great. Thought id share.
Thanks!!
Watching your video I didn't have to replace it after all. One of the pieces came loose. Tried it and boom worked. Ty
This video is comforting, hopefully a local shop has the part in stock and will sell it to me
I wish you luck with that but don't be surprised if that doesn't happen. There's a long list of reasons why phone repair shops don't like to sell parts to customers. Maybe enough to make a video about the topic. The short story is that shops don't make much if anything on selling parts. It's all in the labor. Also, there is an element of liability since the part could potentially be damaged during installation.
+Go Cell Phone Repair yeah, they were cheap enough and with warranty that I just had them do it
Where'd you find that sweet pre assembled kit? My vibrating motor is messed up along with my display as well, and I think it'd be worth the extra money for me not to have to reassemble some of the smaller parts that came on your new setup already
Had to order two lcds. Your video made it so easy. Thank you so much. First lcd was bad. Second one worked like a charm. Amazon.com refunded money promptly.
Cool. Hopefully you were able to determine it was bad before putting all the screws back in.
Excellent video this give me the knowledge to deal with samsung Phones .. I do iPhones & Lg ... Thanks ... My Friend ... Top Notch Video ... Where did you get the Samsung screen from? I am working on Samsung galaxy note3 verizon ...
Hi there appreciated for what you've done here. Mine has just couples of scuff and dents on it bezel it is Gsm version I just wondering if I can replace the bezel only? I already asked this problem to Samsung service center unfortunately they don't cover this warranty as a user fault. Thanks for the advize
It is possible but not easy and somewhat risky to the display. Theoretically you can used a special solution to remove the AMOLED from the mid-frame but without making a video it's a bit lengthy to describe the process and again very risky to the display until you've had some practice. I'll try to get something put together in the future for demonstration.
Great vid man, jus wanted 2 know if this process will affect the internal memory of the fone?
I got one n9005 just wondering, can i use any other lcd of note 3 to my n9005? Note 3 have many type like n900,n9002,n9005,n9006
What if u want to switch TMobile logic board to Verizon phone cause the t mobile updates to Android 5 and the amoled is dead
I actually crossed my fingers when you said "let's cross our fingers"
Haha yeah there's always a chance that the replacement part has a problem so that's the point where I usually find myself holding my breathe for a second.
Hi, when you changed frames did you lost all you had in the phone like pictures or Snotes?
Great video and well informative, You state (At time mark starting 3:22) that the front screen comes with the headphone jack and speaker and also the ear piece ..But when I click on your link the screen that I see on ebay has no headphone jack or speaker...etc? Is the picture wrong or did you change the item? Can you state what comes with it item please..
Again thank you
Yeah they change these sometimes and I might have just gotten lucky on this one. You can assume that the picture on the website is more accurate as it is automatically updated when the description changes. You'll want to transfer those from the old frame. This is best accomplished using a heat gun and of course remove any screws where necessary like the one holding the headset jack in place and pry very carefully.
Hi daughter as the note 3. screen cracked and no display, this is not just a glass replacement, what other parts could be damaged? Phone actually works just no display???????????????
thank you very much sir! now u make me have the hope that my Note3 can be repaired perfectly. It just slipped from my hand and fell on the ground, the ink ran in the entire screen and it got dark. But i want to know sir, if the repairer chances the screen, will it be durable as the screen that came with it?? i hope to ur response to repair it or nah. thanks!
It should be. They are original Samsung displays fitted with new glass. As long as you are dealing with a reputable seller they should be using tempered glass like the original.
Hey thanks for the video, I have a question though; I have a N900w8 CDMA note 3 (mexican version same as canadian) i recently dropped it and it landed on the corner. The lcd itself has a small crack in it and now the screen wont light up at all and its not responsive to touch. I can still use the s pen to unlock it though, and everything else works fine. I assume that if part of the lcd is cracked then I have to replace everything right? Also I cant find a screen specifically for the N900w8, will any model work properly? thanks in advance
Excellent tutorial straightforward and exemplary explained. Thanks so very much
thank you for your video , but i have a question please when you buy this house with the new screen it's coming with the frame ? and is the quality of this screen the same like the original one ???? and what about the front camera i didn't see anything about it in your video ?? if you can answer me please , my screen and my frame is broken and i want to buy now house and do as you did in your video . thank you .
You can buy it either way, It costs a bit more with the mid-frame but that will save you some time and make you bezel new again. Please check the links in the video description for more information.
The front camera is not replaced so if yours has problems you will have to buy one separately. The AMOLED is produced by Samsung so quality is the same. The outside lens is after market but in my experience equal to the original.
@esi obeng You can check and see if maybe the display connector got unplugged or maybe got some moisture in it.

Go Cell Phone Repair
can you make a video on how to replace the lcd degitizer without the bazel frame for note 3
Is there any difference between the Verizon and gsm model when doing this?
Did you replace the screen digitizer or the glass? Thinking about replacing mine but if I have to buy a new screen digitizer, then I won't bother. It's for my dad and I guarantee he'll break it again and I'm not going to keep doing this if that's the case. I've replaced the digitizer in my S4 before, quite fun actually, but I'm not paying to keep my dad satisfied with fresh screens. Looks like the digitizer to me.
where can we order the lcd screen online? I tried amazon, but was only able to find the front glass.. not the actual lcd screen itself. Please help!
When you replace the screen you lose the information ?
Nope. This should not affect stored information at all.
Only real difference with the logic board is there isnt the one black screw to hold the motherboard in place like the s3/s4 i9500 and the i9505 model . Nice video bro !
I have a green vertical lines on my note 3. I never dropped it. Just saw the lines appear as I was charging my phone. Do you have an idea if it's screen related or some other hardware inside the phone that maybe going out?
Sukhi Rai normally that would be something internal u can try backing up your phone and factory resetting it check if it goes away before restoring your back up .
Nice performance. Thank you for the video. Can I have an idea about the cost of the part (screen)?
Please see the link in the video description.
Hey... looks like LCD screen got damaged due to impact like you stated that the force is transferred underneath the glass screen. I'm definitely thinking of purchasing 1 from your inventory. Looks like you have it for a reasonable price compared to other full LCD's with frame that I've browsed online. How long would it take for it to arrive at my destination? I'm in Illinois!
I don't know the exact time but it shouldn't be more than a few days. If you initiate the purchase you should get an shipping time estimate before you checkout.
There's a difference between the AT&T N900A and the one you are demonstrating on the video? Just to know if I can buy that one.
If you buy the complete assembly as shown in the video make sure to buy one that is compatible with yours by checking the model number. There are differences in the mid-frame that prevent the boards from fitting if you have a different carrier. If you need the N900A those are the big image links at www.gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Hi I have a samsung note 3 that had the static screen issue. I unplugged the screen and the phone boots normally and led indicators work. The soft keys stay lit up and phone vibrates every couple of seconds. Is this just the lcd needing replaced? I tried plugging screen back in and it was the same as before static and blue indicator with no sound.
What is the difference between the 900A, 900T or 900W? Is there one screen for all or different screens? Thank you in advance
Hello there.. Thanks for the information. Just wanted to ask if there are issues when it comes to s pen sensitivity after just replacing the glass cover. I use the pen a lot for writing and just wanted to know whether it made a noticeable difference. Thanks. Appreciate the reply.
*If* you can do just the glass then the S-Pen functionality should not be affected as the flex is behind the AMOLED. However, if you buy the one piece lens/digitizer/AMOLED *without* the mid-frame you will want to get a new S-Pen flex as they are easy to damage when you pull out the old assembly. Safest way is to get the whole part: www.gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Thanks a lot. I was just asking regarding the front glass cover, as I dropped my phone and the glass cover cracked. However, the touch and the spen still works pretty good. There are many guys here selling the cover, how do I know if the part is original and if it isnt does it make a big difference? Thanks
You won't get an original as Samsung does not sell them separately. It's just a piece of glass though as the digitizer is adhered to the AMOLED itself. Good luck. The Note 3 is one that we do not do glass only as the glue that holds it on is very strong. Very easy to break the display in the process.
Go Cell Phone Repair "Good Luck" when provide dead links to replacement parts? Not very professional or friendly. On the upside, easy to eliminate you from a potential parts source.
Thanks for the video though. Very well done and helpful.
You showed in the video a repair for the Verizon model that was one solid piece that includes the lens, digitizer, AMOLED and bezel, but when I go to purchase the replacement part you say that it does not come with the mid frame and that I would need to preserve my original mid frame and replace the s-pen flex. why does the video not show this process? Or is this NOT the repair for the CDMA model? I am completely new to this please help.
I will see if I can find a Note 3 tomorrow to answer your question about the S-Pen.
Outstanding and clear video!
Hey man i was curious to know if you do repairs for us, your viewers? Also what type of glass is in the note 3? Thanks I hope to hear something soon.
Yes we do repairs if you are nearby or want to send your phone in. As far as the glass goes it is difficult to say for sure as every company seems to throw terms like "gorilla glass" and "tempered" around without any way to really back it up. We do have a supplier that provides glass that seems to be comparable to what Samsung uses. For mail in repair: gomdwireless.com/mail-in-your-repair/
OK so my note 2 fell in some marinara sauce, but it was only the top quarter. I instantly cleaned it off and it was still working but all of a sudden, the screen went black but the sound still works perfectly. Is there a way I can fix it without having to get a new screen?
@Annie Mc You should be able to find them here gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Where can i get the screen

+Go Cell Phone Repair Do you know if the USB charge port dock on the website is the whole component or is it just the flex cable? For 8 bucks I might as well replace the charge port as well.
Outstanding instructional video, thanks for posting
david michael Thanks.
What is the little circular thing on the top left corner, on the web the image of the screen replacement does not have the thing on it, if it doesn't come with the replacement then how to move it onto another housing?
yi su That's the vibrator motor. Heat and careful prying will get it off just be sure not to put stress on the cable attached to it. It's best to get that pried away first.
I bought a new screen and I can't use this instruction because it is about taking parts from a faulty mobile. Hmm donow where to look for.
Edit: I learned that the screen I bought is "without frame" so a bit different than this one. After watching the video and careful investigation, I fixed it. Thank you.
I was wondering if it works exactly as the original one. Any issue revealed from how used it for a while?
So far so good.
Is the screen quality the same on the replacement?
Do you know what version I can get for the N900W8 from Canada? From what I've seen it appears to be the same as the N900A but I'd like to confirm. Awesome video, I recognize the voice from a few other repairs I've done. Thanks for the video.
I wish I knew. There doesn't seem to be much info on the Canadian versions for some reason. The display is universal but as far as the mid frame it's hard to say. If it's GSM then it should be compatible with the N900A but I don't want to give you the wrong answer. Please let us know if you confirm what it is.
If I took it apart and sent in some high res pictures do you think you could tell?
Keir Parsons Alright so I did take it apart it is 100% a N900A, the board clearly has AT&T written right on it. the parts on the case are labeled N900A, as is the main board, USB, etc. Add that to your site and you'll be the only one selling direct N900W8 screens.
Keir Parsons Thank you very much for the follow up. I've been out of town for the last few days so I didn't see your messages until now. I will add the info to the video description and my website. Cheers.
No problem happy to help someone in the same predicament as myself.
I am trying to buy an AMOLED set to replace my old one, is there any different between N900 and N9005 ones? coz there is a price difference mine is N900 which is a bit more expensive
Very nice! Super easy and quick! Nice video... Everything I needed to know without a ton of useless info. Got it done quick and worked great!!
Thank you. I try to keep the useless info to a minimum haaa.
Go Cell Phone Repair Do you have somewhere that you recommend buying the assembly just as in your video?
Timothy Elkins The first link in the video description will take you to a page with products. Just make sure that your model number matches the one that you buy as there are differences between some carriers.
Go Cell Phone Repair I've tried the link over and over and it just will not load... Will try again later but I've already came back several times and still nothing...
Just dropped my sprint note 3. Where do i get the kit at and anything I should know replacing it
Click the link in the description then check the third link on the page.
If I transfer all that over to the other phone will all my music,videos etc be on the other phone?
Hi there, I have a serious question. my wife has a N900pink one from oversea. the issue is it got front glass n digitizer broken. I am looking to buy the replacement. but I have google and searched all over the places... the issue is, they only makes N900A OR N900. does it compatible for the one we have? please advise?
I'm not sure which mid-frame you would need so it's probably best to buy just the display and attach it to your existing frame. That part by itself is universal.
hey i think i have the same phone ..i dropped it like 4months ago and the glass cracked and the screen went black ..it turns on but i can only hear i cant see..whats the problem ?
where can i buy a second screen already assemble like the one you already had? also how much will i be looking at? or is it cheaper if i only buy the replacement screen only?
There is a link in the description. You won't save much by getting the part without the mid-frame and if you buy the one shown in the video then any damage to the bezel won't be there anymore because you replace that too.
I replaced the glass on my Note3. I watched a video on Utube from a professional who said the screen had to be between 200-220 degrees Farenheit to melt the glue. I used a laser thermometer and was diligent about keeping the screen in that range. I got the glass off with no visible damage to the digitizer. However when I put the battery in to test, the screen is blank. Only the buttons are lighting up.
I assume I ruined the digitizer. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or do I just have to replace? Also, what do you think I did wrong?
Thanks
The AMOLED is very sensitive and the glue on the Note 3 is particularly strong compared to say the Note 2 or S4. I keep my hot plate at about 140C which would be more like 284 F and heat/pry in short intervals of about 7-8 seconds each. Your temperature might have been a bit low but it is also very easy to damage the display even when you have everything set properly. When we train technicians they usually break the first two or three despite direct supervision and feedback. Sorry to hear that you might have damaged yours but don't feel bad. This is not an easy process especially for the model that you are working with. It takes a lot of patience and practice to get a "feel" for it.
Hello!!! I did exactly as you show in the video!!! but when I try to start the phone I just got a flash on the screen and then it goes black... The replacement part I very sure is the correct one, everything fits perfect.. but I can´t make it work!!! Any Ideas?? REGARDS!!! P.S. Great Video!!!
hey, i just saw your video and i recently replaced my note 3 lcd and now i fnd that my spen no longer works. any thoughts? have all of the cables plugged in also.
Did your replacement part come with the mid-frame or did you re-use the old one? If you pulled the old screen out of the housing the S-Pen flex might have been damaged. I recommend replacing that part if you are keeping the original mid-frame.
Where can I get this for a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900p?Look like the power button module is not included like the one in your video.
Ive updated the links here gocellphonerepair.com/Note3
Hello! In this process does everything you had on your phone still stay on your phone or do you lose everything? Thanks
This process does not cause the loss of any information.
omg its expensive to replace... :(
Is there any other way I can fix this without forking over $190?
It is the "inner screen" which i believe is the digitizer that cracked..
I don't mind doing some extra work by taking it apart.
I ended up ordering the full frame and new screen/lcd. It honestly seems like a big pain in the butt taking the old screen off. Sad thing is that it is costing me more to replace the screen than I paid for the phone itself. Thanks for the vid!
Michael S I wish that there was. Without a contract this is a $500 phone and a lot of that value is the screen itself. If you sign up for another contract you can get it for less but of course in the long run it actually costs the price of your two year contract which will be a lot more than $190. Otherwise the price will eventually go down but it will be many months if not years before that happens.
Considering the fact that the full phone used to be over 700 dollars it is a bargain if you can change the entire front for that price... Throw in a new camera for 13 bucks and you're good as new
I can fix it for 150$
Very helpful instruction. Thanks for posting this information
whats that little metal thing plz reply
Hi, thanks for your video. I would like to replace only my middle housing (my screen is ok, just want to change the chrome bezel. Is it harder? how can i proceed please?
Unfortunately the mid-frame is glued to the AMOLED and you will destroy it if you try to separate them. To replace the bezel would be quite costly.
i have a question, are my messages going to be there, whenever i do this. i think, yes because the chip and such is in the mother board, right?
Where can I find the water damage indicator?
is there anyway i can replace the fake aluminium side panel of the note 3 ? my phone has lost the silver colour on the side now it looks like the plastic it really is i contacted a repair shop but they say it only comes with the full display included but i had changed the side panel on my note 2 and i think they were trying to trick me into changing more parts.
The design of the Note 3 is a bit different. Unfortunately the bezel is attached to the mid-frame so no, they aren't trying to trick you on this one.
Where can i order the screen with bazle??
I have a verizon note 3. I looked at the website and I am not sure if it is CDMA. What parts would I need to replace the screen?
If you have Verizon then it is CDMA. If you remove your old screen from the existing mid-frame you will need a new display and the S-Pen flex. Removing the display is very similar to this ruclips.net/video/DSKqxDcFois/видео.html Be very careful at the bottom end as you don't want to damage the cable that operates the home button and soft keys. I always test them before peeling the adhesive off of the new screen because once you put it in removal is very risky.
Do you lose any contacts and any content that's saved when replacing the screen?
No.
Excellent! Thank you for the wonderfull video, directly to the point. John.
I wanted 2 ask my broken phones model is N900T, is the difference between that and the N900A jus the color?
Yeah. The A and T just stand for AT&T or T-Mobile. Those two are the same while the frames for Verizon, Sprint, and the overseas version are actually different.
or can you explain me how do i attach the lcd degitizer to the old frame please i need to understand before doing the repair
I wouldn't recommend using the old frame as it is just a lot of work and you won't save much. Maybe $10 or so. If I get one as you described then I will make a video nut it is very similar to Galaxy S4 but with slightly different parts. The replacement display should come with adhesive on the back.
I have a quick question I have a note 3 sprint n900p body I would like to know if a n900T motherboard (note 3 tmobile) will work in the n900p body? How much moding would I have to do (I have a dremel and stedy hand) ha ha h
If you want to take your chances yes it can be done. You'll have to look carefully at the inside and grind off anything that gets in the way. Not the preferred method but should be possible. Did this with an S3 before.
Would any of these parts work with my Canadian version (SM-900W8), I'm with bell?
My understanding is that they will. You can find them at the top of this page gocellphonerepair.com/how-t/videos/samsung-galaxy-note-3-repair/
When I placed an order for screen replacement (from other retailer) for Samsung Galaxy note 3 and when it arrived, the power flex cable was missing so I tried to transfer it from my Galaxy note 3. Unfortunately, the thin film of power flex cable was ripped off while i'm trying to pry the motor and the very small pcb underneath.
If I order this screen replacement from Go Cell Phone Center, will it also include the power flex cable or not?
It will depend on the seller. The items shown on our site go to third party suppliers so be sure to check with them before placing your order.
My note 3 was dropped from the bike. The screen is cracked and blank;nothing happens when I switch on the phone, except for the start up led light. Then it keeps vibrating at regular intervals. Cannot receive phone calls;my phone calls are diverted to my voicemail. I was wondering if this assembly will work for me. Thank you!
hi i wanted your advice, i dropped my note 3 and the screen is gone on it, as in phone turns on if some one rings it rings you can side it to answer it and take a call however the screen is off. you can not see anything you can here all the notifications sounds like its working however all you got is blank screen. what do you think do i need to do what you have done or do i need to do something different? hope you can help. Ash
You will almost definitely have to replace your AMOLED as in the video above. You can try opening the phone first, unplug and then reconnect the display cable just in case it was jarred enough during the drop to partially dislodge it. If it still behaves the same way then you are going to need a new screen.
Hello, I have a Note 3 N9005 and my screen is not broken, touch screen works but the ink is sort of bleeding. Bottom half of the screen is black and the other half was okay yesterday, but now it turned into purple. I guess it's an LCD screen issue behind the digitizer. Or it might even be digitizer, because I took a screenshot from the phone and sent it to another device while half of my screen was visible and the screenshot shows nothing wrong. I don't know, I'm thinking of changing the whole display, but as I understand the Digitizer and LCD are sold separately. I see that you changed the whole display in this video, but when I go to the link, there is just "LCD Touch Screen Digitizer". Does this mean it includes LCD and is the whole display, or just a digitizer?
That’s gonna be your amoled often referred to as lcd which is technically wrong but common. It’s bonded to the digitizer and glass. If you purchase an amoled or “lcd” assembly it should include all three.
Thank you for the replay.. :) I followed the link in the description for parts:
www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-ATT-N900A-N900T-LTE-N9005-/253141784160?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
The titles are tricky. I guess "LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly + 1*Tools" this includes Amoled and digitizer as well. I know replacing just LCD is tricky, and probably will have to go for the whole display.
Yeah I was on mobile early so hard to write to much but the screen option people ask about the part that you linked to is the best option IMO since you don't have to worry about adhering the screen yourself. Just remember to transfer all og the small parts over.
will my photos still be there after I replace my screen? their not saved to an sd card either. just to the phone!
+E Redwop Your photos are safe as they are stored on the main board (or the logic board in this video)

i had a broken galaxy note 3 glass,but the screen don't show anything,do you think i the problem is the LCD or something else
Sounds like your AMOLED is broken. Try looking at it very closely from different angles. Sometimes there are small very hard to see cracks in the display.
hi . good video . and i need help plz . screen of my note 3 its cracked and isn t . i can see the photo perfectly but i can t use my hand just the pen i can use . so what i should do ? change screen or something inside it and thanks
Sounds like your digitizer is damaged. Since it is attached to the AMOLED unfortunately you will probably have to replace the whole display assembly as shown in the video.

If i repair my screen for my galaxy note i717, will it erase all my information? Oh and your video to change sim card slot really helped me alot. My phone is working alot better especially reading my sim card. Could i email you about my cellphone?
Replacing the screen should not effect your memory at all. You can contact me by visiting the website in any of the video descriptions and clicking on the contact link or email me here: mike @ gocellphonerepair.com
just needed a clarification. my note 3 neo's front glass cracked near the top speakers. no issues while using the touch screen or the pen works fine no issues with display as well. however wherever i asked, i.e. local repair and a samsung galary, they told me I have to repair the whole assembly that comes along with the touch screen. Only the glass replacement. is not possible...Is it true?
Same problem for me. They said it could have damaged the digitizer right? I'm going to see if this works. If it doesn't, I'll let you know.
would this work as well with the T-mobile iteration
The procedure is the same but the mid-frame is different. If you get the pre-assembled one as shown in the video make sure that you get the GSM version. The Verizon frame will not fit your phone. If you buy just the screen and attach it to your old mid-frame it will work.
is the memory in going to be in the next one
Hey great vid. Just wondering something.
I dropped my phone about an hour ago and all seemed fine with it (I didn't bother to check damage immediately since it just fell out of my pocket, something which it does regularly since I am kind of clumsy) But when I tried to look at a message I got the screen just remained black. I restarted the phone by removing the battery and putting it back in and then boot it. all I saw was a small line of light. Nothing else. The LED above the screen responded like it should and everything else seemed to work just fine. The only issue seems to be my screen. After further inspection I discovered several cracks inside the screen. Like not just on the screen but actually inside it... I just shut the phone off and left it in its box for now. Maybe you can give some advice on what to do? I just bought the phone so you can understand I am not planning on buying a new one.
Thanks in advance
Yeah unfortunately you've pretty much described what a broken AMOLED looks like. Very hard to see sometimes unless the light hits it just right. If you want to use the phone the display will have to be replaced.
how do I determine that only the screen be replaced or the lcd as well?
+jamie9075 If the display and touch functionality are still present then it is just the glass that is broken. Otherwise you must replace the whole part shown in the video.
+Go Cell Phone Repair do you think I could have a good chance at replacing just the screen with the method of only removing the top screen ?
