I wish I can click Like Million times. This video is awesome! I learned more because you name the parts while disassembling the unit. And it amazed me more when you showed how to try if the replacement works or not. Because it's going to be waste of time, if you have finished disassembling the unit then just find out your replacement doesn't work. So thank you!
:-)
You present these tutorials using easy to follow instructions. The part descriptions are superb and your camera shots are perfect and clear. I have carried out a few repairs myself with more confidence thanks to you. Please keep up the good work you do. Many thanks.
:-)
LE55ONS I am in my 30's. I've spent better part of my life working in IT and electrical field, and obviously had my fair share of hardware repairs. This is hands down, the best hardware repair tutorial I have seen to this date.
Thanks :-) I hope to come back to this one day..
I fucking LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Hands down best, detailive, close up , visual,explained Samsung Galaxy S4 repair video on entire youtube server.
You are dope! Hands down best walk thru on replacing the LCD and digitizer for the S4. Detailed and very articulate with your directions. Great video.
Thank you so much you are my idol :) it´s like your channel but in german :D the people don't know how many work the channel make, but i do :)
I loved your s3 and s6 edge video.
Also your s2 video.
Can you just replace the edge of the screen frame (The silver edge that goes around it), since the screen itself is intact so it doesn't really need to be ruined?
I would like to know this too
Please see FAQ in the description (About)
***CAUTION***
Flex cable is on top, not the home key end...
..nicked mine..(((
Thank you so much for teaching me more about how my phone goes together, it might come in handy later, also your voice is perfect for this kind of video, it helps to maintain the patience of the viewer. It's also worth mentioning you are pretty damn good at fixing phones, and the video was pure quality with no mistakes or misspoken words.
Is it possible just to replace the silver bezel around the screen easily?
Please see FAQ in the description (About)
thanks alot for making this. this process seems very lng, so not sure if i can take the time to do all of this. i think ill just pay for it to be repaired ;)
If you compare the housings side by side you'll see the metal has different dips and raised parts. Some of it will have a form of insulation and its the raised parts that are probably shorting the mainboard. The circuit board is laid out differently between the 2 models. You will be very lucky if its not caused any permanent damage
its not that bad, this time you can buy a new screen with the frame, it will save all this work and you'll have a nice new bezel. Also it comes with the home and menu key flex already installed. But make sure you buy the correct model as there is a slight difference between them..
then we have found the problem, you cannot use a 9500 housing with the i337 mainboard. Its quite a bit different if you look closely at your old housing you'll see the metal casting is different and one of the heatsinks for a processor is missing
Yes the front housing is different between the those models. If you visit etradesupply,com and compare the 2nd photo on each one you'll see the housing is quite different. I think the 9505 has the same housing as the i337
Yes the version is important as there is a slight difference in the metal screen frame between the 9500 and 9505. I would email them and ask which one. Let me know and I'll put it in the description

you can buy these with and without the metal frame/bezel, . If you buy one with the metal frame you won't need to separate the screen..
during the 'front glass replacement' it has probably damaged the digitizer. Now you'll need to fit a complete screen assembly preferably with the frame as it will save lots of work
there were no camera modules available when I shot this, but a few weeks later I fitted a new camera and battery cover and sold it on eBay.. 'hardly used with one careful owner'..
yes, the digitizer is bonded to the lcd, try and buy a new screen with the front housing and you won't need to do all this work, just swap over the parts to your new screen
Sounds like you have a faulty new camera module, especially as the old one still works. Contact the seller with the same info and I'm sure they will be happy to replace it
from what have heard from other comments the warranty service is pretty good. If you keep returning it with the same problem they eventually give you another phone..
you might have dust enter between the screen and sensors or the edges might move a little when pushed down, apart from that is should be ok
you won't easily find one for sale as its not legal in some countries. If you do find one the cost will be almost as much as a used phone..
100% more sense, but lots of viewers jump in to buying a new screen before realising how much easier it is to buy the complete assembly..
yes because its real OEM (original equipment manufacture) which is essentially make by the same factory as the original part..
I did have a go on the S3 mini but the results were poor even when using a vacuum chamber, I'll have another go one day..
sounds like it might have had a new glass fitted, do you see an 'oil slick' affect when you push down on the screen ?
yes you can, read the FAQ in the description, try etradesupply,com and use coupon code ETS2 for a small discount
Great videos! Quick question...I could really use your help. My S4 turns on and the menu and back button as well as the LED lights all turn on but my screen is black. I can navigate thru the phone if I hook it up to the TV with an MHL adapter. I've taken the phone apart and reassembled but the screen is still black. When it first happened, I could actually get the screen to come back on if I put pressure on the screen in certain areas. However now that doesn't seem to help. What do you think is wrong with the phone and what needs to be replaced?
It does sound like the housing is causing the problem, was the screen you fitted for the 9500?
These are Thinsulate winter gloves, I think most petrol stations sell them during the winter..
yes, but it comes with a risk. check out faq in 'About' as its the same for replacing the frame
Just did this for my S4 and it worked like a charm. The parts arrived quickly, and your directions were perfect! Thanks man!
it might do, have a close look at the photo's on etradesupply,com or email and ask them..
I have heard of some silver paint that can be used, keep Googling and you might find it
good question, if you search around you'll find videos using LOCA to fill the air gap
excellent, i have a question, i wanna change de home boton because don't work in my s4 mini, also the phone is lock and i don't know the password. The hard reset is imposible whitout that boton i think. i will like you show how to change de home boton of this dispositive please. Greatings

its probably the same as either the 9500 or 9505 but I don't know which one..
yes, I have shot the video and just need more free time to edit and upload..
The main camera costs about $30 from etradesupply,com and the front one $5

yes, a new screen will bring it back to life, unless its water damage..
Thanks for your video, just replaced mine by doing it step by step as you showed and it worked perfectly.
couldn't get past the loud speaker cover. felt like it was going to break so I gave up.
ChunkyChest warm the phone up to about 60c and use more force...
***** I ended up taking it to a repair shop lol. its fixed now
ChunkyChest It is easier if you go from the outside boarder instead of from the battery slot. I couldn't get it off using LE550NS method.
if your not as good as this man , don't toy with your gadgets , get an expert , check out my broken S4 i tried to change, please
yes its much easier and only costs a little bit more
Please read the FAQ in the description (About)
voiceover was done after editing the video...
omg, thats to much work to do. i rather send my phone to service to replace the screen than i do it myself.
or you can buy a new screen with the front housing/bezel/frame www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9500-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing-black-with-samsung-logo.html
What about the rear camera? It is not fully repaired til that is fixed.
So I'm curious. You mentioned that it's next to impossible to get the screen out of the frame w/ out damaging the display: I have a perfectly good s4 but the top shiny part of the bezel is dinged up really bad and so I wanted to replace the mid-frame (which that chrome rim is attached to)... but I'm thinking that's probably a loosing bet considering how hard it is to remove digitizer and screen. Thoughts?
It's possible. Use a playing card. Take your time.
Thanks for your time and effort to make it. May God bless you
Your the best onTH-cam...Can you please do a Galaxy S5 video? Thanks!
I'm about halfway through doing the S5 video, just need to find some spare time to finish it off...
I broke my AMOLED screen, I could hear everything but there was no picture on the screen. I purchased a new screen & front frame (when you buy the screen with the frame the home button, touch keys, speaker grill & notification LED diffuser all come pre-installed & ready to go) so all I had to do was transfer all components, i.e. front facing camera, headphone port, speaker/proximity sensor, vibration motor, & USB board to the new front frame & put everything back together. Hope this helps.
LE55ONS! Thank you so much for making this video. Busted my screen the other day and thanks to your expertise I was able to easily replace the front frame glass and digitizer assembly and once again have a fully working phone. Again, Thank You!!
okay so im trying to fix my phone, I opened it up (un screwed all 9 screws) and before taking out all the insides I first took off the flex cable to the broken screen and attached the new screen unit to make sure I was solid and working fine, and the new screen was perfect, so I detached it, but it the process of detaching I guess I wasn't gentle and the Belt in the back came apart. so I buckled it back in, then reattached that flex cable (of the new unit piece) to my broken phone and the new screen works and turns on (no damage to the lcd/digitizer) except only the "touch" isn't responding. help. is the new unit I ordered damaged or is there a simple fix?
It might be a faulty new screen, have you tried rebooting while the new screen is attached?
+stella felony That belt that you disconnected was actually the digitizer. On lots of Samsung AMOLEDs, the digitizer runs separately along the same main flex as the AMOLED. I've had the same problem too. It was just a matter of playing with the connector until it was seated properly. You'll know it is when the white line on the flex is almost flush with the connector it goes into. Once you unplug that cable you need to carefully free the flex from the rest of the main AMOLED flex. It will give you enough slack at that point to hook it up properly.
+spartan456 hey, I had the same problem as stella, thankyou so much! I reseated the flex cable and now only the top half of the screen is working. This is an improvement from a touchless phone... do you think this can be fixed by reseating it again? Or do you think i busted something the first time i did it? The second time i pushed it in as far as it could go, but the line wasnt quite lining up.
Thanks!
***** hey, I want to replace the broken glass, display frame and main frame of my galaxy s4. I do not know with what to start as I do not want to buy another display. Should I remove the glass first with heat and then replace the display frame or should I do the frame first? Thanks
Excellent guide. i followed it and have managed to fix my old GS4. top video
Wow, that's one sharp screwdriver!
My display is broken but my glass is fine, can I replace just the display and keep the old glass? If so, where would i find just the display for sale separately?
Great video btw.
It could be done with the right tools, but the cost of the glass is about $15 + optical adhesive, labour etc. its best to buy a complete screen assembly, and for a bit more you can buy one with a new chrome frame..
***** Thanks, I used your coupon code at etrade. Cheers
u just replaced the lcd?
if I want to fix a galaxy s4 with a broken lcd and doesnt display anything, what part should I use, what is the cheapest website?
So, to replace the frame, I need to replace the screen, as well. That sucks.
+Connor Keatley You dont have to, using a moly wire, you can easily remove the screen.
Hi there, I have i9500 Black edition India variant. even after replacing motherboard and screen from samsung authorized service center in warranty My phone heats up lags and apps get crashed. I rooted phone installed custom rom, tried to reduce temp by underclocking to from stock 1.6 to 1.0 GHz but it still heats up temp goes to 70°C, normal temp of phone is 45°C its so hot I cant even hold in my hand, I tried stock kitkat 4.4.4 still no go, now I am running on stock Jelly bean 4.2.2 it worked good for couple of days but it has started heating up and lagging, it was same with kitkat as well. Service center wont accept the phone as Konx counter is 1, it has lost warranty, I believe there is no way to reset Knox counter, triangle away fails as well. is there any chance to fix my phones issue, what can i do, is there a DIY fix ? any help is appreciated. I really love this phone I'm big fan of this phone and I certainly dont want to sell it or throw it in cupboard with old stuff.
Great tutorial, I just replaced an LCD/Digitizer by following your instructions, keep the tutorials coming! -
Another awesome vid, cheers mate.
I love the video pleas make more videos
i want to restore my galaxy s3 (2013) display middle frame housing and battery. motherboard fine. is it possible to get orignal display in 2024 ?
Wow the sound quality is excellent. I feel you are doing all your work sitting on my ear :P
Great videos mate!
Hi - I have a question about the touch menu and back button keys:
Both don't work on my phone or light up. I'd rather not take off the screen/digitizer, and just get the functionality (don't need them to light up). Do I HAVE to change the home and touch key flex cable (17:03) or is the functionality governed by the chip underneath which is the charge board (5:50)?
Basically, can I get functionality back by just changing the charge board (5:50)?
Thanks
Can you tell me what happened at minute 36:16. Why did you edit the video? it didnt turn on at the first try? how did u solve the problem? that's one of my fears when doing this. I'm going to start working fixing phones lol
Hi! Love your vids. Very Detailed.
I have an Issue. I had a store in the mall replace my LCD and Glass. BUT my thin metal bezel around the glass is all cracked and some of it's missing. I would like to replace the bezel. Everything else is fine.
How can I do this??
Any help or video would be huge! Thanks!!
Very helpful your vid, good commentary. Based on this I manage to remove my display-touch screen with no problems on my Samsung Galaxy s3 GT I9300. The issue now is I don't know if its worth buying the new screen cos for 80-100 euros that it costs I could get a new phone with the current contracts that the phone company give with no extra charge and just paying 11-22 euro a month for 1.5 years in which the payment is about the same for the monthly calls I do. But If I wanted to get the data from my phone then your way is preferable. What do you think?
Is there any visible differences from the original Super AMOLED displey. My display just died and i'm wondering which display is better cuz i dont wanna spent money for the double priced super amoled (~150$). The LCD is 80$. Give me some advise :) ty
For everyone coming here with small scratches, which is how I found this fine video. Obviously pulling the S4 apart is not a very good option for a little scratch. The paint I just used is called Spazz-Stixx Mirror Chrome airbrush paint for RC cars and models, I used a normal brush though. It's also very cheap and on Amazon.
This stuff is really chromey and perfect for the upper bezel. Filled in my factory chip nearly perfectly and can only be seen on super close inspection in very bright light.
This video is very soothing somehow.
Hahaha exactly :D
I don't know what the deal is, but the adhesive on the S4 Mini, or at least the production batch that mine came from, would not budge at all with heat. I ended up using a tiny screwdriver to chip 1/8 inch shards and flakes of the AMOLED off the "chassis", all damn night. The backing layer that came off the plastic wasn't even sticky.
This gluing the screen to the phone business is stupid anyway, and why do they need to be so thin? I remember older LCD or bit displays in various equipment that absolutely wouldn't break unless you rammed a nail or something in to them. And they could be swapped easily because they were just held in place by the frame. These new screens will start to leak if the phone screws get over tightened at the factory.
Nice video worked puuuurfect for just replacing the mother board, you should change the heading to add "also swapping mother board" only had to watch about 20% of the video worked great thanks! PS was also able to swap out the bottom USB port also.since it quit working too.
LE55ONS... Can I email you a pic somewhere now to show you where iam up to please? - I think iam at a point now where I can just start putting one complete phone back together but want to be sure. Iam thinking surely all the meat of the tech and the OS is inside all the circuits and bits ive already taken off, so it could be a case of just putting that all back onto the working screen? (obviously iam pretty clueless on all this and just assuming) but could you confirm for us. I could send you the rest of my spare parts in the post if you still tinker with these devices. Regards
Please let me know if I can replace the upper part of the frame because I have one little scratch! I dont want to replace the whole screen because its in excellent condition
Hey there. I just dropped my s4. There was. Little crack from before and it never grew. When it dropped no cracks occurred but the phone doesn't display anything and is unresponsive. Can u please give me a link to the piece's I need. Would really appreciate it, I liked and subscribed also I'm in Canada and my phone is with Rogers.
Hey Man you are amazing! Thanks of you i replace lcd in my S4 alone ! Money in my pocket! Thank you !
Anyone know if there is possible to get hold on a i9505 display with flat black edges instead of the black mist look, like on the black edition? And great video! Now I need to refurbish my S4 :)
Thanks!
A massive thanks. Perfect step by step tutorial, now i have a new phone once again. THANKS. THANKS, THANKS,
Did i say thanks.
oh god this so my phone and I need but can not find someone who knows how to repair me know how much I can charge for repair. please
would it be easier if I buy the LCD Screen Digitizer and frame already put together, so I only have to transfer the parts over to the new screen?
Hi,
Your tutorial was very helpful as always!
I would like some info on the double sided tape you are using. Do you have a 3M part number perharps? How wide is it?
Thank you in advance!
Its not impossible to replace just the glass on one of these phones but its not something everyone can do. If you are in the cell phone repair business you will not make that much profit replacing the entire screen assembly LCD (AMOLED) + glass.
Hey, I really need someone to answer this. My galaxy s4 needs a new digitizer and screen (screen is cracked). I see online I can get a whole new frame with digitizer and glass. But I want to know that if I do that ... Will my information still be on my phone like ... Messages, contacts, etc. ??
my home button is a bit in, do you know any way to put it a bit outside without spoiling the screen? thank you in advance!
If you break your screen just get a new one. The screen replacements are not OEM and much cheaper. The resolution will never be the same.
Hi. I did everything exactly the same, screen worked. But now I have some issues about the battery , its heat is very low and not charging. What should've happened to be so ? Thank you.
Hey there... ive been having problems with my s4... the phone is always turning off its driving me mad and can only turn it bk on if i have the charger pluged in... down the side off my screen their is like a mm or 2 gap i really think this is the course off my phone turning off cos obviously the batter wud be loose and just slipping out off place... am i right does this happen... screen is not damaged at all phone works fine its just turning off when u touch certain parts off the screen if the carger is not in... seem like it just needs popping bk into place ive very little money for repairs can u please help me im not great with tech either lol... many thanks justina x
just replaced my Samsung galaxy s4 digitizer and screen by watching your tutorials,thanks very much for your clear and concise approach.
Your video instructions were great, I replaced my digitizer/screen and it looks great but when I turn on the phone it says "no sim card". I have checked and double checked and the sim card is in right, do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Where do you get all these 'broken' smartphone parts from if this is just a hobby of yours?
You do a very clear and detailed video. It has helped repair iphone`s and a many s3 Samsung`s.I now have a s4 to do and with this video it will be a breeze. Keep up the good work.I have subscribed to your tube.
I only used the first 5 minutes of your video in order to figure out how to use another working screen to get all my stuff off my broken phone. This was much easier than I imagined. Great video. Thank you so much!!
Friend, first on behalf of all your fans BRAZILIAN, I want to congratulate you by posting videos that you come.
you and the person who takes over our curiosity with their wonderful videos.
But I would ask one thing that many here have the curiosity to see who would be replacing the screen glass, only the glass has no display and the touch. I've seen many videos of people who have tried to do this and not just what you conceguindo.sera concegue the samsung s3?
