Replacing a smartphone screen?
So I've got a US Cellular Samsung Galaxy SII, and I'm trying to figure out what's broken on it. For one, it turns on fine, rings and all that when it's called. The glass of the screen itself is completely intact, too. But underneath the screen it's all cracked; it's all black, no picture.
So what I'm wondering is, forgetting the fact I've never replaced a smartphone screen before (but I know I could), if I ordered a replacement, does that include the screen and some of the internals under the screen? Or just the glass itself?

Which one did you get?[/quote] Neither? I haven't bought any replacement parts yet. If it's right under the screen, you think it could be the touch sensor? And that IS something that can be bought and replaced relatively easily?[/quote] Shouldn't be too hard, there is probably a guide for your phone. The part your finger touches directly is the touch sensor, the part beneath it is the screen. Usually the screen is just connected to a board with a ribbon cable or two, it's just a matter of unplugging them, removing the screen and plugging the new one in. Of course, you'll void your warranty, so if you aren't sure, let a pro do it.[/quote] So then the screen probably IS the part that's broken.
