Get a new only cost RM 19.95

where to buy?

Yesterday morning change the LCD. Reason changing because left part of the old screen does not response to touch.

Run perfect and better response, equivalent to my Omnia 2. It took me 1 hour to replace together with guide from youtube and manual. All function works perfect, sms, call, camera, internet surfing.

Bought from Ebay, USD0.01 plus shipping USD5.29. 2 weeks to arrive.

If your screen is broken and you have the passion (and second phone back-up), I highly encourage to change it by your self. By the way, I am only a finance clerk and not an engineer.

But there are a lot of cases in the net that their phone is not working after replacing. Do it carefully.

Multiple times I'm planning to change the LCD but looking at the manual, I know there's a lot of work to do. Don't hold your breath, I've got lots of question following up:

1. By any chance, do you use static cloth etc during the installation? Really afraid will damage all of the sensitive electronics.

2. Your own tools or buy specific tools from ebay?

3. OEM LCD screen or not?

4. Any chance we can change to capacitive instead? (I highly doubt it so)

5. Can pm me the ebay seller's name?

Hope I can help.

1. Nope. Just make sure don’t touch ANY electronic component. I hold at the edge only.

2. 3 tools we need. One comes with the parts (as in the video, the blue one). Second precision philips screwdriver. I bough it at Lowyat, Sri Computer (31 in one and use the smallest screwdriver. Cost about RM14). Enter the shop, left, down compartment, together with usb card reader etc. Third is my nail.

3. I don’t know. Because it is so cheap, I just bought it. Less then 20 buck converted.

4. Sorry, I don’t know.

5. This is link. Hope mod will not delete it. Not promoting, just for sharing. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...:EOIBSA:US:1123

What can I conclude; we need 50% help from the youtube/manual, 45% of common sense and 5% of luck when doing it.

Good Luck

Thank you. that..has been very informative. but a quick check on the ebay link you have provided stated that they doesn't ship to Malaysia. You managed to coax them to ship?

Emm… that weird, I also check it back and seem they now exclude M’sia. Maybe they sell to me and notice that they doesn’t make any profit…

But to avoid any problem, maybe you can check lelong, seems the price is around RM50++.

But this ebay confirmation for my winning…(hope the picture appear).

Thanks. I'm thinking of changing the middle part as well, it has been badly bruised.

i got someone to change my LCD screen, set me back RM180, the service take about 2 hours (include ordering parts). so at RM57 and RM20 is a real bargain.

anyway its time to hard reset again: after bored with IPhone today I will get back to Window Mobile Shell, and to also install MSkip Window Phone7 theme.

The middle part u better get from samsung direct as the ones that are sold in Ebay does not contain the antennas and some shielding.. the digitizer the bezel and the back cover I suppose u can get from ebay.

I changed mine ... full set around RM80 from ebay.. hehe the middle part cannot be used tho. ;-)

Hope it helps.. if u are planning to change to another color be wary of the power n menu buttons tho

Buy from lelong.com
