Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Replace broken Samsung Note 3 LCD screen

Thu, 17 Jan 2019 21:53:04 -0700

I recently dropped my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It only has a few cracks, but the screen doesn't work. It is just completely black. The phone works and everything (I can hear it ringing etc) but I can't see anything. Is there anywhere I can get it replaced? I live in Liverpool NSW BTW. And how much would it cost?

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Can you fix my broken Micro-USB charging port?

Sat, 24 Oct 2020 00:50:03 -0700

I recently bought my Galaxy Note 3 online, in December of 2013. Everything was fine until my charging port broke. It will not charge anymore. To be specific, the teeth inside the charging port are broken. I tried bending them back so that the port will fit with the charger but it did not work. Is there any chance you can fix it?

Only the s pen works to touch the screen. My finger is not working. It can't be the digitizer because the pen works. Right? What about the heat sensor on the phone? Where would it be located in the phone? Thanks! If anyone can call me if they have an answer that would be great! 201-906-5054.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Is it possible to install a middle frame/bezel at home?

Sat, 27 Apr 2019 01:36:18 -0700

So I dropped my note 3 and the middle silver frame/bezel got scuffed to where it's no longer silver but white. I called every cellphone specialist in my area but all of them said it would cost roughly $200 because they would have to replace the whole housing however I found just the silver frame on ebay for $17. My question is would I be able to install this and are there any risk by disabling my note 3? Also if there are any links to show me how. Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Since 4.4 update, touch screen doesn't work...

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 19:16:55 -0700

Hi, (sorry for my English)

Recently I changed the LCD screen of the friend's Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005). I bought it here. After changed it, all worked good. Or since my friend update his phone of android 4.3 to 4.4, he can only use the pen ! Oo the 2 "sensitivs" and 1 "home" buttons work very well too. Only with finger it doesn't work :'(. I heard maybe the screen is a counterfeit and with android 4.4 they are not the driver to use the tactil with the finger. And it's impossible to flash an android 4.3 when the 4.4 is installed... Please help ^^ Thank you for the answers ;)
