Left my s4 on the window sill and the damps killed off my already cracked replacement screen.

Replaced the screen 10 months ago but the one i got off ebay had a green tint instead of white and the blacks were utter shite and blocky.

does any one know a decent supplier of screens preferably under £60 that wont have the above problems.


Thanks in advance

Iirc you can get the screen and digitiser replaced by Samsung for £120 better than scraping the digitiser off to replace the glass.

I never bothered in the end and it was only a small crack and I was due a new phone.

Oh and I think you then get a warranty on the repair which you won't on a diy or shop replaced glass.

Lastly, from memory again, Samsung don't sell the glass on its own o lay the whole unit so you aren't getting the same product.

its the lcd thats gone and a cracked digitizer. im after a prebuild lcd digitizer and frame to just bolt the board to.

£120 is way over my budget plus there are S4s on the bay for £80-£90

i can get the assembly for £55 i just dont want another green hued screen as i ended up with before.

Better off just replacing it. Might as well get a newer phone as it sounds like your current one is full of problems anyway.

mainboard ect is all fine it just needs a new screen. its a 15 minute job to switch the board and parts over.

you can get them off ebay as complete units for £55.

Im just asking if anyone knows any dealers who sell the unit with decent led screens and not the amoled green tints that most ebay sellers are selling.

How about looking for motherboard damaged S4's and use the screen from them.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S4-i9505-WHITE-FROST-LCD-DIGITIZER-FRAME-/291631513862

I just bought a Nexus 7 2nd Gen screen and digitizer off this guy, and it was delivered the next day. Works absolutely perfectly. I was a bit wary of the 98% feedback, but it was a genuine part and installed with no issues at all, so I'm well chuffed seeing as it's sat on my wardrobe for the last year.
