That would be your LCD. The little spot you saw on the screen was an ink spot. So you need to replace your lcd not your Digitizer unless the surface is shattered as well.

I tired replacing my own and was not successful. It's very delicate, there are a lot of little parts that need snapped together for the LCD screen to work. If you don't do it correctly the first time you can ruin your phone. I would suggest if you was a for sure fix finding a repair shop in your area. We have one in out local mall, called Smart Fix

It is a easy fix you just need a lil patience. Dont rush it.there are you tub videos to help you.on another note that s3 is a very sturdy phone I have fixed several.if you didnt break your digitizer look on youtube on how to remove the glass with out breaking the digitizer (lcd) screen

It may have been defective. My touchscreen worked, but had a greenish tint to it. I pulled it off and am using a screen guard. You should contact the vendor and request an exchange. Good Luck.

In my personal experience with such an issue, usually replacing a new screen is unnecessary - but instead, it's just one of the flex cable that controls the touchscreen is loose. I think the best way is to open it up, and find those three flex cables and see which one is loose and press it down so that they're fully connected. For instructions wise as to how to open the phone, I would search youtube for instructions. Good luck!

I am sorry to hear. This has never happened to me. Maybe rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover will help. i would recommend u test it on a small area first before doing it on the entire phone.

You need a new LCD and digitizer screen . It doesnt come seperately. Also, if you are planning to replace this yourself, just a word of advice: it's a bit tough to detach the screen,which is the very top layer. To see if yours is even damaged,run your fingers across the screen. If its smooth,its fine,but if you can actually feel the cracks from when it was dropped,then you will need a replacement screen too.I had a galaxy2 and the same thing happened. After going through HELL trying to repair it,I finally figured out that I'm losing $ and had to accept my loss.:( your phone is a tad different though.

Please do not make the same mistake I made... it seems that you are in need of a screen replacement not a new LCD (since it still functions). I bought a new LCD to fix my mini only to learn, once I had changed it, that it had nothing to do with the damage.

had that same issue with mine. it was a fried board. lg will charge you 70 yup 140 to repair it. my advise, get a different phone

So if my screen is just smashed but my pixels all still work, this is all i need to replace that broken screen?
329556
That is correct, however on mine I thought this was the case, but after replacing the glass I did note that the lcd had a bad spot that I was unable to notice before I swapped the glass out, so if it is smashed and you are not sure, the lcd may have a bad spot under the glass that you can not see. I thought this kit was great, cheap and fairly easy to replace, in my case I am fine with a bad pixel or two and am quite happy with the end result, If you are unsure if the lcd is perfect, you may end up with a bad pixel you didn't know you had, just so you know :) Good luck!

I would advise calling the company and seeing if they can walk you through what may have happened? Or go to the store and trade it in for a new one. They can transfer the number and everything pretty much right there. I had no problems when my daughter's acted up. Honestly have no clue why there would be letters/numbers under the lock screen? Try rebooting first, leave it off for like 30 minutes and see what happens. Otherwise, follow with my other 2 choices. Sorry, thats the best I have on that. :)

I depends on why the screen is broken. if you can go to to a motorola repair shop and ask there. i bought that part to replace my broken screen some months ago but it was not the solution.

As the other folks have said, it appears that your the lcd screen is broken, not just the plastic covering. Also, since that is broken, you really don't know what is broken. You could easily buy the new parts and still not have a working phone.

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.
