Samsung Galaxy S3 Disassembly & Assembly - Drop Test Repair

Its worth paying the little extra for a new screen that comes with the frame(housing/bezel) as you will not need to separate the broken screen from the frame and will have a nice new bezel.
Same procedure for i9300 T999 i747 i535 L710 
If you've seen the drop test then you might find this puts your mind at ease for replacing the screen..

DIY repairs will void any warranty but may save you £$ :-)

The sim tray for the i9300 will fit the i9305 and possibly other models.

My S3 got dropped into water and I managed to fix or swap every broken part except the main microphone. I have a new spare part but I am not sure how to change it. I know you need to heat the microphone to make it release but the new microphone got no adhesive and I am not sure how to stick it to the main frame. You got any idea how?

you'll need to use a 'hot air' soldering iron, it best to use your local repair shop..

I have a SCH-I535 blue, in need of a new bezel or thin outer frame, nothing else. Where would I find this item and how hard is it to replace? Whats involved? Also what would it costs to have someone replace it (your price?) The screen is perfectly fine, just the plastic outer bezel/frame/bumper whatever you call it, needs to be replaced nothing more... Thanks for the help :-)

Hi! I Recently did this process to replace my lcd screen. But, after I finished, I noticed that my phone does not vibrate. Any idea of what could it be? Thanks!

Do you know if the rear camera module is the same in the verizon model SCH-i535? I have one and it needs to be replaced. I can only find a replacement camera that matches the model in your video.
