Thanku very helpful video. Have replaced my sons phone screen twice already and it was 250 each time. This time i thought id give it a go myself. Managed to purchase a $50 screen and frame then followed your instructions. Thanku
Good instructions! One note: pa attention that if you need to transfer the speaker, remove the complete piece starting from the small slit at the top of the phone.
You might. Try to see if you can lookup the datasheet of the screen and see if pinouts match. Maybe try looking up the screens used (serial numbers, for instance) and see if they are mentioned as "Fitting: [model numbers]". Just like how memory chips and processor chips are probably the same across budget models and high-end ones for the same generation devices, screens are probably used across devices as well. It limits the amount of time a production-street has to change their pick-and-place machines for making the PCB's (changing out reels for different parts after all takes a lot of time, just like having to load a completely different PCB design, along with all the cutting to get it to the shape required later), it limits the design department having to design 2 different circuit boards and it causes Samsung itself to buy 20 million of the same chip and limit it in firmware and get a bigger discount per-part due to the big bulk order, instead of buying 5 million of them for 4GB's of RAM, and 5 million for 8, and so on.
