Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) - replacing the screen/lens - GSM-Forum

snadge · 06-22-2013, 20:28

Hi

Iam helping a friend repair his Galaxy S1, it has a cracked screen (LCD is fine), so we bought a replacement from fleabay for £4.99, following some instructions to dismantle we have gotten so far but the instructions seemed to be vague and missing important points, I then read the creator of those instructions saying it was "impossible" to replace the screen only? (yet he sells LCD+Digitier for £75 so I think thats maybe why he said that)

we are now at the point where the rim section that goes around the screen and has the 'back, home and menu' buttons on has to come off, but there appears to be ribbons coming from the 'back' and 'menu' buttons going to the middle 'home' button (this is whats missing from the instructions we followed) - obviously if I tear it off the buttons wont work and the 1st reply on these instructions is someone saying "my button doesnt work"!!

can anyone help with instructions to continue with this?

is it impossible to replace the screen only? if so then why sell them?

thanks very much.

so we later found out

wrecked one of the buttons taking it to bits too... can fix that though as replacement part is £5

bit of a con selling them in full knowledge they can not be replaced
