Thank you for the tutorial i also had to move over the gold band around the charge port to get mine to charge
Great video thanks for the list of parts in description
it was my first time and got it done in like 20 mins fix i bought a replacment kit that comes with tools a long time ago for 20 bucks ty for the tutorial
@@averageportbluefan glad it worked! And hopefully you learned something or gained some confidence after a successful repair!
Thanks Bro Perfect How To Vid hate when they just play music with no Talking 💯
I really appreciate how to-the-point this video is. Thank you.
Concise and effective guides are my goal! Glad this one helped you out!
@@TapticDigital does this keep all data and apps?
@@TapticDigital did you use a LCD in this video?
@@erickareese9366 yes, same as the original. Thankfully at this time Samsung was selling official parts through my vendor
@@TapticDigital so i have the same phone that broken like the screen is full cracked and it completely black will i need a new LCD or can i just follow the steps your doing?
Great video! Mine was very slightly different... as the one I was fixing is the A03s A037G/DSN and motherboard/cables only very slightly different, but all the relevant parts in the same place! I didn't have any alcohol so I used my soldering station heat gun attachment on 100 degrees C and applying to the (broken) glass-side to help release the battery and also used the same heat gun settings to lightly go over the power/volume buttons to help release the adhesive. Luckily I already had mobile phone double-sided tape from various glass replacements in the past to help me stick down the vibration motor and the connector for the power/volume.
Nice!! I'm glad to hear it. That's a really good method to use for battery removal if you don't have alcohol, and not directly heating the battery is perfect technique. Glad it worked!
@@TapticDigital are the pin outputs for the display the same on all of the galaxy A series, im making a project and want to find a cheaper variant but good quality screen for a SM-A505W (galaxy a50 unlocked), iv looked at other galaxy A series screens and they seam to have very similar connector’s but cant find any pin diagrams online and really dont wanna have to splice the traces from one screen to the other and possibly short the display or motherboard, just to give you an idea of what im doing the phone wont be in its original case and is going to be more of a debugging/testing so aslong as i can get a different screen connected and running on the motherboard, cable length and all that dont matter to me
@@hackzgamezyt hmm I don't believe they are all the same unfortunately, at least based on how much they change the connector. I could be wrong, but I've never come across decent schematics for Samsung
Awesome, thank you I just replaced my son’s screen. The battery was a pain in the butt it’s working great video. Thank you.
That battery sure is, even with heat and alcohol they always seem to fight back. I'm excited to see in the new S23 Ultra where they've used an actual pull tab for removal, hopefully they bring thst to all their devices!
When u fixed it did it reset u dint have to log back into the goodgle account or everything was the same
Thanks a bunch for posting this vid. I followed a long to replace my screen and it was a breeze.
@@Devoras88 glad to hear it! I try to show things the way I would want to be shown, and believe that if I can figure it out so can anyone else.
I accidentally blew up my dads phone... I took everything out and let the battery be the last part anddd yeah I saw a spark and was like oh no 😭 and yeah it blew up completely
Ouch, well at least all you should need is a new battery! They are pretty cheap thankfully.
Thank you so much I was struggling to find a in depth video for my exact phone
I'm glad I could help! It's actually a pretty solid phone too, aside from the screen it definitely passed my durability expectations!
thank you for the straightforward tutorial
Thanks for your help, I cracked my screen, and this video helped me out big time bro!!
@@BHill-qi6rn glad I could help! Fixing stuff is fun, and it gets easier the more you do!
Taking the volume power flex cable off is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I've fixed many devices. I would have been a lot better off buying just the LCD and leaving the frame intact... Bought the frame version based on your video... I truly dislike when videos make a job look so much simpler than they really are. The rest of it was as shown, but I've never seen a harder removal than that flex.
It's probably the strongest adhesive in that phone and I don't understand why. Most times I have to use an xacto knife to slip under it, super risky.
Wow, I'm surprised you explained what takes others 15 to 20 minutes of annoying dubstep music and no tutorial, in 3 minutes. The music you had was fine, very concentrated music like the how it's made show. I'm going to be doing this but I need a new fingerprint sensor if I can find one 1⃣ separately.
You should be able to find them separately! Why use many words and long video when short does good? And I definitely took a lot of inspiration from How it's Made! Thanks!
@@TapticDigital yes sir, about $20 plus the shims and tools. Have a heating gun like a blow dryer but it's for softening adhesive glue and what not.
I'm checking more of your videos, excellent work putting these together brotha!
@@rickearl1956 same here, the heatgun I have at home is more of a construction job type of heatgun, but hot air is hot air, and it works! Thanks for checking out the videos, hopefully you find something else useful!
Amazing easy way to get an understanding on how to replace the screen with some of your own mentality at work. Thank you so munch for this very informative explanation video.
I have two broken A03 phones. The screens shatter easily if they hit concrete. Anyway I want to fix them myself. Where can I get the replacement screen and tools to repair? Thanks for the video.
In the battle of concrete vs glass, concrete usually wins. I’ve got links in the description but you might also want to check Injured Gadgets, Gadgetfix, and MobileSentrix
Dang I just dropped mine just now today thank goodness for this video
I just did a screen replacement which ive done a couple times in the past with other samsung phones and the power volume strip was super hard to get off, when i was finished the phone showed it was charging. But thr power button wad not working to turn it on. How do i know if i damaged that piece?!
That ribbon cable is a single layer circuit, so the best thing to do is check for any rips or tears. Even the slightest cut can kill it. If it's toast and you absolutely need it to power on you can bridge the pins on the board where it connects using tweezers. The button ribbon is very cheap to replace if needed.
@@TapticDigital yes I did order a new one and should be here tomorrow cause I did kinda tear up a side of it, it didn't fully rip but i was nervous i did damage it, so hopefully that's the issue. I did take it apart after this just to make sure I had them in the right place and I did, but now it's not even showing it's charging!! Ughh!! So now I dont Know what to do. But hoping once I get that power, volume strip I'll be able to figure out the next issue.
I feel like id mess that process up, if i where to mail you my phone and pay you, would you be willing to fix my phone for me.
I don't offer mail in repairs just yet, I'd recommend checking some local shops with decent reviews!
i need to do this and i have all theparts to do this but im too scared😭
I’d say this one is pretty beginner friendly
I was afraid too. But I did it using this video as a guide and it was so easy.
Hi I want to do this for a phone I have samsung A03s but it’s the type c dual sim does that make a difference? Or would the screen&frame be the same also see a lot of people having problems with the volume connector they cheap so just gonna buy 1 aswell
I believe you'll need a different model screen, like the A037G, though I haven't repaired any other variants besides the A037U, so I'm not certain exactly which part you'd need.
@@TapticDigital thanks upon search just now I found the model with the frame before I was just seeing the screen 👏 keep you posted on how the repair goes first time doing a repair
I literally smashed my screen last Night and it looks absolutely horrible thank you ! Now I can my screen
You sure can! It's cheaper than a new phone, and you still have all your data!
@@TapticDigitaldo you know if there is replacement panels I could buy somewhere? Mines got dinged up
Nice work 👍👍
Excellent repair!
Thank you!
quick question i have an ao3 with no battery and no working screen and ima frame swap it just like this video and if i do that will it be fully reseted? because i am repairing it because i have old photos i want to recover
skipped over the only part i needed, the sim card tray orentations
It only goes in one way, and should take almost zero effort to slide in.
Well instructed...to the point with a great sequence of operations Hb@kb,mob,inc.
Hey man I'm dyin' over here! I broke the Power+Volume flex cable and I can't find a single place with the replacement part. Any suggestions?
I was able to find them on MobileSentrix, you'd just have to be sure to get the right model number as it appears they make two variations of it. They say they only sell to businesses but I was able to buy things as an individual by listing my business as "independent" in the sign up. If that fails, they have them for about $15 over on eBay, again, double check the model number first!
@@TapticDigitalI'm using this part from MobileStrix: POWER AND VOLUME BUTTON FLEX CABLE COMPATIBLE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY A03S (A037F / 2021) The volume down and power buttons are not working, but the volume up is. Part doesn't fit housing properly.
Thank you again for the help. I greatly appreciate it :D
Awesome video, just getting ready to start my first one of these. Thanks for the reminder to remove the SIM tray and also the heads up about the finger print reader cable attached to the back cover. Also I have one question. Near the top there is that 6 connection point square pad attached to a ribbon cable. On the replacement I bought on eBay, it is glued down slightly crooked, not perfectly square like yours. Do I dare try to peel it up to glue it back down straight or should I send it back? I wish I could attach a picture of it here but I don't see a place to do so. Thanks
It shouldn’t matter too much, the spring connectors on the board only touch a very small point, and with how large (by comparison) the gold pads are, it should still make contact. If it doesn’t and you need to adjust it, a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on those gold pads and some tweezer action should get it free safely!
@@TapticDigital Thanks much for the advice. If it looks like they'll hit then I'll leave it otherwise I'll carefully try the method you described. Probably not much more delicate than the volume button ribbon we have to transplant from the old to the new frame. I really appreciate the reply. Going to tear into it after dinner, I'll let you know how it goes.
I ended up moving it so it was straight, probably would have been ok but being the perfectionist OCD type I had to fix it. Got it moved without any damage, same with the volume control. My new frame did not have the ribbon cable under the lower board so I had to peel off that gasket and carefully remove and transplant it. Wrecked the gasket but ribbon came off in one piece and everything works good after reassembly. Thanks again for posting this video, it was very helpful.
I need help. I bought mine at Walmart, $57 out the door and broke the screen 2 hours later.
"I leave the antenna connected as they have a tendency to break off tne board when unclipped". I must have missed that part because I took it off and the top part broke off. What's the antenna for? Is my phone totally ruined?
It’s for cellular or WiFi, so you’ll probably need it. Thankfully they are pretty cheap to replace and sometimes you can just pull one off a different phone and use it if the length is similar.
Is the SM-A037U screen compatible with the SM-S134DL trackfone version
Thanks for the Video; are you using 99% alcohol??
Yes, I love my 99%. It evaporates so quickly and turns the adhesive into butter
Punctured my battery. 💥💥 It's been years since I need to use my fume hood! The smell is going to be in my house for days... but no fire damage.
Don't be impatient with the battery. Let the alcohol do the work!
You popped the spicy pillow! No Bueno, be careful, and get lots of fresh air. Lithium gas isn't super fun.
Advice for other repairers:
1. Safety first. Be aware that working with a power source, in this case lithium ion batteries, has a potential danger. Have a safe place to secure the phone in case it catches fire or explodes and a method to put out the fire. Try not to breath in the fumes.
2. Follow the order in the video and you will only have to purchase a replacement battery in the case it does go wrong.😉
@@TapticDigital Indeed. Even though I had it enclosed quickly, smoke was all around.
How do I remove the battery without alcohol?
@@CarelUnderco heat! Get that phone nice and hot and the adhesive will soften right up. In a pinch you can use a hair dryer on the screen (keep it moving around) for a few minutes and it should help quite a bit
Hey could you please help me out ? I just did the exact same repair but since I replaced the screen the microphone is recording weird noises when calling or making memos. Do you have any clue what could be the fault for that ?
This model has some little foam pieces in the frame that the microphone sits in, sometimes the replacement part doesn't have that foam in it already, and this causes sound to echo and bounce around the microphone. This is the most likely issue, but it could also have some slight damage
I had to replace the screen and 1st got just screen replacement, it worked but making calls I could hear them and i can hear calls and videos but they could not hear me during phone calls. Then I got the frame screen replacement one and my speak mic Still wasn't working so I also replaced the charging board which says it has the speaker on it and it's still not working. Phone is charging good still but would you have any idea why my speak mic wouldn't be working?!
That's an interesting one... First step is the super obvious, are there any stickers inside the replacement frame that cover a microphone hole? It sounds dumb, but I can't tell you how many times it's happened to me. If that isn't it, let's try to isolate which microphone is the culprit. Phones typically have three microphones, one in the charge port, one next to the earspeaker, and another facing out with the cameras. Talking normally on the phone uses the charge mic, calls on speakerphone will use the earspeaker mic (and sometimes the charge port as well), and the camera usually utilizes all microphones. Test by making a video and rotating the phone as you record, then play it back and see if your audio drops out when you turn it a certain way. Blow into the microphone holes one at a time to find which one is dead.
@@TapticDigital oh no that's not dumb at all cause I did think about this also cause alot of them have those blue stickers where there is like adhesive too & I definitely could have missed one. I will check this first and then if there is no sticker Ill do the test you said. Thank you so much for your help. And I'll reply back after I hopefully figure out which one is the culprit. I know I did try a call again the other day and tried to put it on speaker and I could still hear them but they still couldn't hear me, so maybe it could be the one by the camera if it utilizes all microphones.
@@TapticDigital so I did make a video and rotated it, and had music playing on a different device and blew into the mic at the bottom and blew into the mic at the top and when I played the video back I couldn't hear anything. So does that mean its the mic by the camera?! And how is that fixed?!
Hey I have a problem so my phone is a Galaxy 3oa and it’s been lagging a lot lately, it’s been a saying System ui stop working and I don’t know why, now it’s just a blank dark blue screen yet the screen turn on when called on or alarm but it so slow to show the frame what should I do?
Best thing to do would be clean off apps you don't need, or back everything up and perform a factory reset, then copy your stuff back over. Usually gets them running quite a bit faster
Do you have any Samsung watch repair videos?
Just one about getting a button unstuck from the inside. Unfortunately most people choose not to repair them since their screens are almost the cost of a new watch.
I have this phone and it needs fixed could you fix it
I would like to say that the price of shipping is outrageous and amazon prices are not better I ordered form aliexpress ill see if its better
What kind of "glue" is used to put the volume flex onto the new frame?
Whatever you like really, I prefer double sided tape, but other things like B7000 glue work fine. Just no super glue.
When you replace the screen is it just the screen and doesn't delete your important information ?
Wouldn’t affect memory at all, memory is all on a chip on the board so you can change almost every single part and still have all your data as long as the main board isn’t replaced. Also if any company says you’ll lose data, they aren’t repairing your device they are replacing it and I wouldn’t trust them.
@@TapticDigital ok thank you and great video 👍
If your phone went dead and is not turning on or charging what do you do?
Take it apart and find out why! Could be a part port, battery, or something else!
Where can I buy a Android samsung A3LS screen
Does the website for the screen deliver over seas?
Does screen panel replacements fom.local stores work properly?
😊
As long as it’s a good shop with good parts it’ll work great
What was the price of the parts and where to get ?
And how much is the cost
Hi, Is the A03 and A03S LCD screen the same or different?
Unfortunately they are not. Even between the A03S variants they are quite different, for example the A037F model is wildly different from the A037U. So make sure you get the one specific to your model!
Plus if dead by flach repairs
My phone is samsung galaxy A03s sm-s134DL. And I need to replace the screen. Is this the same screen as the one in the link you provided. I'm trying to purchase one but I wanna make sure it's gonna work on my phone first? Thanks
As long as yours is a US model that part should work fine. It would be a bit more expensive, but you could also buy another A03s (I believe the model you gave is from Tracfone, so Walmart should sell the phone) and swap your main board into it.
Oh yea I'm debating on whether to just buy another phone or replace the screen. Cuz I mean I've never replaced a screen before but as long as I follow the video it seems pretty easy. I just wanna be sure I get the right screen. But the website that you have in the link is out of stock 😪
@@diamondlaw3846 ah rats, I went ahead and edited the description and added a link for the part from Amazon for a similar price. You can also check Injured Gadgets as a good reliable vendor.
Does screen panel replacements fom.local stores work properly?
Yeah but it cost anywhere from 80 120 bucks when you can do ot for like a quarter the price
what should you do when the battery gets damaged when taking in out\
Always replace it, if there is any rip, tear or major bend, get a new battery. Even if there's nothing immediately wrong, it can lead to the battery swelling up over time or leaking harmful gasses. Cover the damaged area with electrical tape before disposing of it (at the proper recycling place).
@@TapticDigital do you know where i could get one off of. this has been the second part I damage fixing the LCD for a coworker
@@Master_Tiger_44 I'd check Injured Gadgets but you can usually find some on Amazon
My model number is A037W but it does not seem to be available anywhere; is it the same frame as another model?
Not that I've found, unfortunately in your case it may be best to locate a display only without a frame
Good to know. Do I need a particular model number without the frame or do I just need to worry about the dimentions? Have any videos detailing the steps for that? I am definitely not as experienced in this field of repair, so any help is really appreciated!
@@butterflygroundhog the display should be the same for any model of the A03s, so no worries there. You'll likely need some better glue for attaching the display though, check out my video on the OnePlus 7 Pro, I replace the display only and they are very similar in how it's done.
@@TapticDigital Many thanks for the heads up; I will keep all of this in mind!
where can i get a replacement screen for the US model?
Link in the description. I'd also recommend Injured Gadgets website, though it appears they only have the A037M model at the moment.
Is this screen compatible with an A037M?
It is not, the M uses a different frame unfortunately
Nice
opens like a book, my ass.
You know, now that I think about it, my ass opens like a book too!
Bro your cutaways don’t help bruh I’m here at the volume part and idk where to even pull or where I do it
Drip some isopropyl alcohol on it and start picking at any corner, slowly lift
it’s such a pain in the ass to get that fingerprint reader to set right closing the back 🙄
Sometimes adding a little piece of foam or tape helps put pressure on it and keep it in place, but I agree!
I just tried it, I should've paid someone,
Just seeing this shit gives me Antiety, don't just Replace it from the Front instead of Unscrewing all those Bolts in the back
Bro I destroyed my Samsung A03S screen and watching this is low-key terrify
It's not too terrible, I'd say the battery is the hardest part. But you could always take it to a shop! Repairs for this one are usually around $115
Hi
Hello!
Batch that was not a screen replacement
It has a new unbroken screen now so 🤷
so should i get a with or without frame as @khalidmundwiller5456 said its pretty hard to remove the power button cable
I still recommend with a frame so you don't need to mess with glue. The button is easier to take off if you soak it in isopropyl for a second
@@TapticDigital thanks
Thank you, I appreciate you ✊🏿
