Does the screen respond to touch after installation on a 3GS? What other tools do I need to make the repair?

It was a huge pain and I am mechanically inclined. I ended up selling the phone and the cheap kit and upgrading to a new one.

We ended up taking it to someone else to fix using the screen we bought off this site. The tools they supplied broke but we got it fixed and it works great.

Yes, if the screen doesn't respond to touch then your digitizer is also cracked.

The patch certainly didn't work that's why I returned it. In my case when I connect to 3g data and browse rebooting occurred a few times but mostly the phone went to a frozen mode with bright lit screen. The only solution is to pull the battery out and restart. But on 2g the phone worked fine. This occurred exactly in my Nokia 701 also.

Funny because I had the same Issue with my phone, screen was replaced and I was Unable to See anything. I could hear it coming ON but I was not able to see screen to Touch :(

Wow, your grammar is practically incomprehensible. But maybe English isn't your first language. If your touch screen does not work anymore, then you need a digitizer as well as a new glass screen. If the screen is just broken and you can still use your touchscreen, then the glass will make everything better. You will need tape and a hair dryer. Check YouTube for instructions.

No it will not help if it will not respond to touch. You need to order the screen with a digitizer.

You need to change the LCD screen, the glass is only in case of errors on the touch sensor. Probably the problem is by a flex-cable problem, but its very difficult to find only the cable, but you can try.

Not sure if a fix exists, but if your screen is still under warranty, I'd RMA right away. Why mess around with hacks when you are entitled to a fully functional device?

Hi Tiffany, I honestly don't remember. I replaced the screen for a friend and everything was fine and he had no complaints. I've replaced many iphone 3, 3GS, 4, 4s and 5's and it always seems to be the luck of the draw when I buy them, even from the same sellers. Sorry I can't help you more, but things worked well with that purchase.

Hey Christina, I would check the tabs that you hook up to the main board from the LCD. A magnifying glass will help with this since the pins are so small and brittle. I received a defective LCD once because the pins where damaged. http://www.rapidrepair.com/guides/iphone-4s/images/iphone-4s-lcd-screen-repair-thumb.JPG

Double check that the digitizer connector is secure. I damaged the ribbon cable to the screen the first time I tried to fix my phone. I had the opposite problem, my touch screen would respond but no picture. Double check that the digitizer cable isn't damages either. Just a tiny tear ruined mine

The assembly I purchased had the whole top part of the phone completely assembled and ready to be put into a 3GS I-phone. A couple screws had to be removed on the broken phone and it took a little effort to pry up the old broken top (the assemby does not come with any tools), but once the broken top was out I just had to press down three tabs to connect the electronics for the new assembly (that does include the assembled lcd, digitzer and front glass and frame) and re-screw the screws.

i feel your digitizer must have gotten scratched during repair. i'm sorry to say, you might need to get a full replacement ie digitizer and LCD

This is most of it. You will also need a extremely small screw driver, a pry tool, and double sided adhesive tape. I used super glue and you can see some residue through the screen. Make sure it is just the screen that is broken and not the digitizer as well. Best of luck to you

I can't tell u why this is happening. I am having an issue with mines as well. The touchscreen on the corners no longer function.I have considered taking it to a Best Buy for inspection. Not happy with this purchase. I no longer use it.

Basically when I replaced my screen all I saw was an error message every time I would turn it on.your mother board is probably not working properly any more.I bought a google nexus 7 to replace my iPad 3.it works just as good as the iPad. You might have to go with another tablet.I sold my iPad 3 on eBay.hope this response is helpful.
