Galaxy S3 Disassembly & Assembly - Sim Tray - Loud Speaker - Buzzer - Earpiece Repair

[@Cellntrade]

Honest comment: We all come across sooo many videos on you tube of how to repair but you have actually made an easy video for people to understand. Clear and precise. Even a first timer could do this. Great job! Le55ons, keep up the good work!

[@wojciechw5660]

That's right !

[@9Martinii]

Hey, i just finished my repair, i just followed this video step by step, and everything works fine. Awesome tutorial, thank you very much for spending your own free time to show us how to DIY. :)

[@Plan-C]

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for this video. My S3 went through the washing machine! I thought it was dead! Using your guide I stripped it down, soaked all the boards and components in medical alcohol to drive out the moisture, left to dry one day outside in the shade and then overnight in front of a desk fan and it works good as new. Thanks again. Hope helps others.

Okay seriously broke student here and I don't know you but I have to tell you I LOVE YOU!! I was watching another you tube video about disabling GPS (privacy freaks whatever lol) and I opened the back of my S3 to check it out. My SIM/Micro SD tray was loose when I put it back together and I thought that's how it was before and closed up my phone and it would not recognize my SIM card etc. I even went into my service provider and they couldn't help. (they didn't seem impressed I took it apart either) lol I could connect to the internet but not make any calls and being a broke student was really upset at the idea of having to buy out my contract and get a new one. You SAVED MY bacon! I happened on to your video and realized the ribbon connector wasn't connected, plugged it in and bam fixed phone!! :D Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Oh and very interesting to see the rest of the video to learn about what everything is in my phone and if I had to repair it I might even know how now. I'll be keeping this video on my favorites list for sure!! BIG thumbs up! Only one thing you didn't mention I think is where the GPS is located but I think maybe from now on I should just leave well enough alone. It is really interesting seeing the working parts of my phone though. :D Thanks again!

Thank you for presenting such an excellent tutorial! It was very clear and easy to follow. It was also helpful having someone with great enunciation! My phone started up perfectly!

I slipped on the ice 2 weeks ago and my screen broke....ordered a new one and got it today. And even with too many "thumbs" i managed to do this with the help from your awesome video....Thank you for your post and keep up the work with similar videos in the future...

[@dirkwehowsky]

Perfect instruction! Thanks a lot! Just swaped my lcd. Best regards from Austria :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Just replaced my S3 screen and digitizer after waiting 2 months for the money and shipping. I could not have done it without these fantastic tutorials. THANK YOU!

[@daniogroove]

Thanks LE55ONS! Second time you've sorted me out. My S2 and now S3.. Your a legend! Liked and subscribed!

[@ShaunM215]

Thanks! My wifes phone kept booting into safe mode. I finally figured out the volume down button was stuck. Your perfectly detailed video showed me exactly how to remove the buttons with no difficulty whatsoever. Thank you......seriously THANK YOU!

[@michalkujawapl]

Thanks Bro !!!

[@silvioam]

Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks. Your video was extremely helpful in the repair of my old phone. It had sat dormant for about 18 months and an opportunity popped up on Ebay for a new LCD assembly. I had no idea that it would require so many components to be transferred. After sifting through several videos which lacked the detailed removal of parts I came across your video. In 30 minutes I had a great phone to activate as a second line. Thanks again. I hope to find something else you have done. Your style is perfect for an inexperienced person doing a complicated repair.

[@TheLordKing69]

had to mute that video, he produces so much saliva, that made me fustrated

[@LE55ONS]

I must have been hungry and could smell dinner or maybe the mic was too close..

[@TheLordKing69]

***** i think so :/ lol anyways good video mate as alaways

[@robparkinson9850]

I was a first timer. Had a couple of hairy moments. but thankfully all is working fine now. A great video.... and especially thanks for making the other one. Replacing the glass and LCD Digitizer i couldnt have done without these videos.

[@lucianionescu367]

you sir are a life saver... my camera failed and no software could fix it. so clearly it was hardware. following your guide i found out my camera was detached. so 10 minutes saved me some real money. Thank You Very Much.Keep up the good work and best of luck.

[@jh6966]

I just bought the Galaxy S3 and was just looking at how hard it would be to fix if I ever/when I broke it and found your video. Great detail! One of the best DIY videos out there. Thanks for your time in doing it.

[@Athryn866]

I've been having various problems with my Galaxy for the last several months, mainly with the usb charging port. I had been planning on upgading to the Nexus, but thanks to your video, I was able to clean a surprising amount of crud out of my phone, and its working as good as new. I can now charge it without holding the cord at an angle!!! Thank you!

[@Sho10000]

I've went through quite a few of Galaxy tear down videos and this one is by far the best. The video quality and detail you provide for replacing almost all the components of this phone are top notch! Thank You!

[@celierea]

A very elaborate and precise video; I disassambled my Galaxy S3, replaced the mainboard and reassambed it following this video without any hiccups and I must say that my hands are not really that talented for this kind of thing, so, quite explanatory. :) Thanks a lot!

[@xStretchz]

Thanks sir!Changed my loudspeaker module and now it works perfect!Took 1 weekish to ship from Hong Kong to Canada and repaired it in about 10 minutes ! Thanks alot for you guide!

[@BoyanSotirov]

Great! I was able to repair my broken phone in less than 12 hours after I broke it. Great video! Thumbs up!

[@l00ney13]

Once again one of your videos helped me! This time my microphone sound was too low and following your instructions I could disassemble my s3 and clean the small conduit that goes to the microphone with a needle. Now the microphone is clear again. Thanks !!

[@stevewaters7451]

Well done, easy, simple step-by-step instructions, well explained, fantastic quality video. I would never have been able to do this without this vid. THANK YOU

[@jackmccann2136]

one of the best videos ive ever watched, no ums and ahs just confident and concise ,

[@SSmith0613]

Excellent video- I bought a Galaxy S3 used with bad burn-in on the screen. I was able to follow your video and do everything step-by-step along with you. It DOES help if you have exp. disassembling computers already (as I did), but I had never done a phone. Your post helped me do it as painlessly as possible. It's perfect, thank you!

[@knotyourfriend]

This is by far the best instructional video i have seen on You Tube. I have a cracked GS3 screen. The digitizer is fine. Thanks to your video it seems possible for me to replace the screen.

[@megr9426]

Thank you so much for the video!! My phone took a dive into the toilet (clean) and despite quickly rescuing it and yanking the battery and spending a few days in rice my touch screen wasn't working. Your instructions helped me take everything apart and clean it (alcohol) and put it back together. And it lives!!!

[@LE55ONS]

That's good to hear, the best way to dry a phone is to warm it up to about 60ºC and put it in a vacuum chamber for 30 minutes, if you had one laying around :-)

[@juancarlosm1983]

This is the best s3's Disassembly & Assembly tutorial I've ever seen!

[@robertkelly6483]

Thanks for the help, I've had a faulty camera for ages so ordered a new module from eBay and used your video to help me replace it. I really appreciate the clear instructions! Thanks again!

[@JimSimons007]

Very well done and thorough. I searched around quite a bit and this tutorial was the most complete, even among some very good ones. It was much appreciated. My phone is back up and running and everything works.

[@joeeverett45]

AMAZING. You are the BEST phone guy on youtube... Excellent work! I litereally JUST followed this guide and replaced an LCD Assembly on an S3.

[@jerryz2541]

Excellent video!! I had to replace my screen, and the new one didn't come with a drop of instruction. You saved the day with some great camera work and clear steps to take to re-assemble the unit. Everything was exactly as shown and thanks to you, I now have a working S3 again. Bravo!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

OMG - I've fixed it!!! You inspired me to try one more time and what I did was to press and hold the power button. It took 20 seconds, but then it powered up...!!! VERY HAPPY! :D Thanks

[@Lagartija219]

There is a small gasket that may also be needed for your new screen that has not been mentioned here. It’s the one located right behind the small square of the ear piece ribbon. You can clearly see it at minute 09:10. Many thx for this super lesson! It sure did help me!

[@bwcenter95]

woooh!! thanks for the video, just dropped my s3 at the water today and my camera are foggy, and now already cleanned the fog at front & back camera with this disassembly tutorial, now my camera working fine again! Thanks a lot Pal ^_^

[@sherlockwatson81]

Very good tutorial..it like having a personal tutor teaching each and every parts and its function..i dint know android phone was so complicated

[@roy862007]

thanks a lot friend... im always very scared of opening up delicate devices like phones but your instructions made my disassembly reassembly successfull... best wishes !!

[@WoodberryStores]

wow .... done it ... works perfect ,,, excellent tutorial.... so much appreciated. My friends so doubted me ... but with your help i have proved them wrong. Saved £175 as quoted by a service/repair shop who said it cannot be done...

[@gs425]

Hi You are a legend!!! I couldnt find my phone....dashed to check washing only to find it glowing angrily amongst washing after churning for 15mins in wash cycle...argh!!! Stopped machine, took out battery immediately, dryed as well i could. I then dismantled phone as your video, left to dry overnight in fan oven (NB no heat just fan). reassembled, then LONG PUSH on On button and BINGO!!!!! working great. Thanks again.

[@shirro5]

I followed these instructions to repair my S3. It was very handy. My secondary camera/proximity was a little harder than shown but the rest was perfect.

[@magnusmoe2886]

I just finished replacing the entire screen-module with the help of this video, thanks alot it worked absolutely great! :) The only thing I had some issues with was the doublesided tape on the vibrating module, it was alot more stuck to the cabinet than the other doublesided tapes. I will definately follow your vids :D

[@Inah600]

I had the misfortune of dropping my phone and cracking my screen, but now it looks and works exactly like it did when I first purchased it, all thanks to this video. :) Thank you!

[@mard7569]

What a great video! I wish I had found your instructions before I followed another video. It was hard to see your what he was doing. I end up breaking my vibrating module and the volume cable. It was my first attempt of taking apart a phone to replace the digitizer. Oh well, thank again!

[@leeoliver54]

dude thank you, more simple than i thought, via watching you , and fixed my phone thank you

[@JCNOF]

Bro you are freaking awesome with detailing every part as you go along. Great job this will help alot of people

[@Lorofol]

Thanks for the advice, I managed to get all the screws out except the one at the top that holds the jack/speaker/antennae in place (the thread was pretty much ruined). Since I'm replacing the top piece anyway, I took one of those small knives (exacto-knife?) and started digging away under the screw and that made it loose enough to remove. Excellent video by the way, you covered every part and reason for replacement. One more subscription for you sir.

[@n5yiz]

I followed this guide and had my phone re-cased in less than 30 minutes. Works perfect and looks like new. Make sure you get all the gaskets out of the old case. There is one above the USB connector and one where the notification LED is. Also, make sure you transfer the grey heat sink "putty" to the new case.

[@TheSQDoctor]

Thank you so much for this video. It's not only full of good technical information, the camera work and narration are superb.

[@alejandroAD83]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. My S3 is alive because of you!

[@benjaminreece9708]

Thank you for this video. Helped me replace the vibration motor and avoid sending my phone into T-Mobile for repairs at my cost. That would have taken 2-3 weeks. Instead, $6 on ebay and about 45 minutes later, my phone is fully functional again. Thank you!

[@Lagartija219]

I've been "commisioned" by my boss t cary out this fll screen change andI can say that this vid is THE BEST so far! Many, many thx!

[@Sevlagoth]

You just helped me save my s3 from a damaged power button. Thank you so very much! :D

[@definitelynotnolan]

Dude, I think you just saved me 150 bucks. I love you

[@Arbiter2552]

This is one of the absolute best instructional videos I have ever seen. Thank you

[@lunavixen015]

Thank you for the disassembly video, my S3 accidently went through the wash and I needed a way to disassemble it so that I could get it dry faster, and this has helped, now I just have to hope that when it's dry it'll still work >.

[@MinuteMaid44]

Thank you for the reply. I have had it repaired and have since bought an otter box so I don't have to go through that again. I sent it in to Samsung. Since the glass wasn't cracked (I put the new screen on over the broken cable) it was still under warranty and they sent me a new one. I never paid for the warranty so I got lucky :)

[@dustinward994]

Awesome tutorial, was able to easily replace my headphone jack because of it. Super thankful, had very clear instructions.

[@Ainoskedoyu]

Hey dude. Big kudos, watched this to replace my earpiece assembly, I found your guide super helpful, great pacing, and good camera angles. Thanks for posting this

[@douglasauruss]

Absolutely excellent video. Any careful owner could follow this guide without trouble. Your descriptions and all are perfectly offered. Well done. Subscribed, and will share.

[@ianlaird]

Great walkthrough mate, thank you for doing this. Hope you're making a few bob from the adverts. You should. You've helped a lot of people out.

[@isaiahjackson9]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! followed it step by step to replace my screen, have a fully working galaxy s3 thanks to this, thanks alot!!

[@wendygreen5464]

This was a perfect video for all the components to a new screen & case! Now I just need a better video on how to replace "just" the glass. I followed one and went too deep & had to order the whole back. But this one was Perfect, Thank You.

[@DrsGrinch]

I love how effortlessly and nonchalantly completely tear down a 400-500 dollar phone. Your knowledge and expertise on tearing these things apart is amazing. I thank you for the time making this video. I can't believe it only took you 20 minutes haha. Are all S3 the same teardown?

[@sergeigaba575]

Absolutely great comprehensive manual, just got my phone working,Thank you.

[@buffermoore]

Very informative, the advice on how to remove and replace the small components at the end were invaluable. Cheers

[@TheTrondro]

Great job on this video! -Used to work in a cellphone manufacturing company (Simonsen) in the 80´s.. Back then all the cells was at the size of a brick, with large antennas.. those where the good ol days :-)

[@ricupg]

Thank you again, I got the accelerometer working after I found the repair manual. What I did is expose the mainboard and apply heat with my blow dryer to certain spots. It got very hot, but then the sensor started working again. When it cooled off it stopped working, but after an overnight charge the phone is fully functional.

[@jefferyanderson7793]

It worked! Just gently peel off the two soft key connectors attached to the old digitizer. (Try to remember not to destroy them when removing the old digitizer) and stick them on the new one remembering to line the connections up properly.

[@thebestbg2plamenovdanov660]

Very, very well explained. Thank you very much. Watching you, everything seems easy, and .............. it is really easy (after repeating your tutorial)

[@francois.m]

This video is just amazing. How mad fast technology has progressed in a matter of decades.

[@SpiderAdam69]

Very helpful guide. Needed to replace my galaxy s 3 screen and this is the best guide I have used to do so.

[@oddiosanto]

Guess i'll find out after replacing the whole sim tray since i already ordered it on ebay. It's also a fairly cheap and easy repair thanks to your instructions! I'll let you know after i did it

[@ofirmantsur1635]

Listen, i have been following your videos for quite a time, and you are very professional!!! helped me a lot. Thank you :)

[@MeMohamedislam]

[@jmrspace]

I want to thank you for your video. With it I was able to save a bunch of money and fix my phone!

[@jameswalters3572]

You are the man! Best how to video on the web, Period. Thank you

[@ksjosker]

GREAT VIDEO! After taking apart and putting back together, there's not much to them.. All the parts are replaceable.. Thanks a bunch!

[@Jeepster353]

[@pimentajp]

Isso é um verdadeiro vídeo tutorial sem enrolações, cortes etc.... Dá para fazer ao mesmo tempo passo a passo. PARABÉNS !!!!!!

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Thank you very much for this very clear step by step tutorial. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that's been in our office filing cabinet for about 6 months. Almost new! But unfortunately when you try and turn it on - nothing. Try to charge it - nothing. Completely dead and no signs of life. Tried 2 chargers (one I know works), etc, all the usual stuff like take out battery, hard reset, but nothing! This was the last resort - did it all, but no luck! Brilliant vid though :)

[@Detta7]

Amazing video thank you very much! Just wondering, how would i go about replacing both microphones only? I haven't found a guide anywhere.

[@larimuntean8110]

Dude, thanks a lot! I had some issues with the USB socket! thanks to your video I had the courage to open it myself. Now everything is workin fine! Thank you!

[@lexa3210]

your my hero, thanks so much I wouldn't of been able to change my screen without this video which made it easy to do so.

[@KumaKommando]

Excellent video. I use my s3 with aux cable for music in the car. I recently somehow managed to have the thing in my jacket pocket with the cable plugged in and went to get out of the car yanking on the cable quite nicely which caused the socket to become loose with each connection. 20 bucks on eBay and this video and 10 minutes of my time should have it right as rain. Favorited.

[@c4mbl]

Brilliant video, very informative, thank you!! My speaker has stopped working on my S3 (under a year old!!!) so rather than send it back for repair and wait weeks il try and get the replacement part (any siggestions??) and do it myself with the aid of this video!! Thanks again!

[@rogueqd]

Fantastic instructions, very easy to follow along. I've replaced my screen assembly and everything's working great. Thanks very much.

[@ColtaineCrows]

Great video, this helped me a lot when I got terrified of removing the ribbon cables glued to the chassis :) Turns out this phone repair hullaballoo isn't all that hard after all!

[@natashabrown3563]

your video has teach me a lot , everything that you did was clear. i am just learning repairs and it was clear crystal to me thank.

This helped me fix my power button issue.... So far....

[@thepiecesfit5049]

This helped greatly thanks. What was first time a $60 charge to replace the volume flex. Now cost me under $10 did not know it was so easy. My headset was very scratchy got the speaker and volume flex and replaced it in under 30 minutes. +1

[@spursd]
