Hey guys!
Today i got my hands on curious thing. My friend was drunk "as he stated" and somehow he was able to tore off USB port from his beloved HD2. Crazy right, I didnt even believe it was possible as I am an owner of HD2 myself. So Im thinking about maybe try to solder it back together (if possible).
There are some pictures as attachements so you can take a look. The casing isnt damaged at all, its like that USB just fell of.

Connector seems burnt, just curious what you'll find inside... If the mainboard look like this that's bad news.
A new connector is cheap but there are different shapes of the inner part so it is possible that it won't fit, check before you begin to solder.
Looks badly burnt to me.
I suspect mainboard no good for repair but worth checking first.
Quite easy to pick up an EU version HD2 for around 40USD (faulty handset) on eBay if can spend a bit of time looking/bidding and in good shape except digitizer, then simply donor best parts to complete one working rebuild.
Hey thanks for replyin! Well I opened it up and it seems motherboard isnt damaged. Well, as far as I can tell . Phone is working with charged battery without problems, so I think its worth a shot. Take a look and tell me what do you think

I had a hd2 in a similar condition and attempted this. I failed and it killed the mboard straight away i would only attempt if you really really need too ;/

hey buddy, thanks I will be really carefull. I cant really tell you what good is a phone like this without USB connection (and dont forget charging), so this is "operation: must do". Sorry for your HD2 though.
You can pick up a new usb socket from eBay/amazon etc.
It is quite a tricky bit of small soldering & can be very hard if contact points on board are broken below board.
Worth a try but not easy ... If you do succeed, once tested working ok use PU40 adhesive sealant to pack around sides & back of socket as will insulate & help secure socket hopefully helping reduce chance of fracturing joins or dislocating completely again.
Yup! USB is already on the way. Thanks for tips buddy, I will check back here when its done , it should take few days untill new USB is here.

I wish you all the luck, 'cause you gonna need it! (but maybe you're a soldering master and you know what you're doing...)
for the past week my screen has been going whacked out on me.
the on-screen buttons would start clicking on their own, and sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive,
BUT
when i turn it off, and back on, it would work perfectly fine .
so i basically get a 50/50 chance if the screen going crazy on me...
now if it was the Digitizer, wouldnt the problem be ALL THE TIME?
as opposed to being random, could it be a BUG ?
Can anyone please help or advice, thanks !
If a factory reset doesn't fix it it is probably hardware. I have seen intermittent problems with digitizers before.

not really,
but my problem is as follows...
i purchased the phone from T-Mobile, FULL PRICE $500..
so theres no insurance from anywhere...wonder who would do any work on it for me ...Google or LG ? i know it wont be T-Mo
Have you called them? I don't understand why they would not honor the warranty.

Read the book that came in the box. Manufacturers defects pretty much always have a 1 year warranty.
Oh and LG.

well they are talking about having to send my device in, then run tests and see what the problem is followed by whatever charges ..
so i dont know if its worth paying for it..should i go back to my GNOTE and wait for the next Nexus . idk .

I have a similar-sounding issue (on-screen buttons flashing wildly, et al.); I am thinking of opening the device to check on connection
Is it more or less likely, in your experience, that the connection between the display assembly and the board is loose from impact or whatever, or that the digitizer itself is just defective?
Thanks for your help.
I had the exact same problem on my device and it can be due to two reasons.
1. If your phone get extremely hot during use then the screen starts behaving abnormally.
2. If you had dropped your phone then there is a slight chance that you have damaged the digitizer.
I had the second problem and I have replaced the screen and it is working normally again.
So i droped my Note 2, and when i put the battery back in and started the phone the screen was not working but the phone worked. Will a new screen fix the problem?

May be that you are luckier than you think ...
If because of the impact came off the flat connector for LCD, then it's only necessary to simply reattach this one to get device back running again.
Happened to me once with a GT I9000.
OK

it gets into the fastboot....but no display...i didnt tried it...but i dont think it will fix it...and if it doesnt fixes then ill loose the recovery...so didnt do that...
I dont think that factory resetting and flashing stock rom will do...coz all that happens in recovery and i can see any think that just a white screen...sometimes faint....must be a display or a motherboard problem....
but when it comes to display it is not broken or got damaged....might be motherboard must be burnt...but if so then why will the cell boot up without issues...
are there any chances of screen damaging due to heat...?coz it has got heated and i got this problem...
And all functions are working even calls sms wifi....everything w/o issue...just no display..
Should think on it..
Can any1 detect where the problem is so that I can fix it...
If you can't buy a new screen assembly to troubleshoot whether that's a possible issue then the only thing I can think of is wiping the phone and flashing the google factory image.
Are you able to download this and flash it through the command line using fastboot?

Hey sturdy I hope your phone carries an Indian warranty !! If yes the best way is to flash back the factory image and get it to your nearest lg centre !!
If u are not covered under warranty lg guys charge around 4.8 k INR for front screen with digitalizer !! You get a screen replacement on eBay for around 2.5 k !! If its the motherboard it can burn a dent in your pocket !!

i dont have warranty....ok i need to detect the problem...so that i can fix it....You can read the previous posts i have written....
Anywayz firsstly i opened up my monster...cleaned the thermal paste..re-applied it....Ok nothing is burnt on motherboard....everything works even usb....my computer is reading the device....just no display thats it...i tried to disconnect the display and see...still everything works no heat up...
so it takes me towards the screen problem....
Now is there any chance to screen plug getting damaged from the motherboard.... there are just two slots i dont think it has any chance of damage...
And also the screen is responsive but not display...i can swipe and receive calls and everything....just no display...
So what is damaged ?
As there are two parts of screen..
This is the exact thing whats happening
After a lot of research...i found that from the three parts which i thought i had problem with is that...lcd digitizer and gpu...
there is no digitizer issue...after my research...now left if lcd might have burnt out or gpu might have burnt out...

I'm really guessing here but like I said before, i'd say restore the factory image from Google to see if there's any software issues at play like a kernel issue.
At least then (if that doesn't fix it) you have the option of either sending in the device to LG for a fix, giving it to a third party repair shop, or buying the screen assembly yourself and replacing it that way.
Like NABENDU1 said you can get one on ebay or other sites, find the tutorials on youtube and you already seem to have the necessary tools so that'd be the cheapest way.
Though i'd say make sure you get the whole assembly to make replacing it easier, or it can get quite fiddly.
If it still doesn't work after that, then it may be a problem with the motherboard which would also need fixing.
Good luck figuring it out though.

The white ring stays even when it's off?
If you're sure you reconnected all the ribbons inside and wiping everything and flashing the factory image didn't solve the issue then it's safe to assume there's a hardware fault somewhere. Unless you or anyone else can think of what else it could be, it looks like it's time to try replacing the screen assembly.
Don't know where you'll be able to find one in India. Ebay might have one, aliexpress might also be worth a look, I saw one on there that ships to India from China for Rs. 4,070.40 / piece with free shipping.
Again good luck!

hello,
today i gave my i9506 in repair for changing display unit. the man in the shop i gave it to said that there is no difference between i9506 and i9505 when repairing the display and they will build the i9505 into it. but i read somewhere that there is a small difference. do you know about that? because i am confused now and scared that they will break my device

If I were you, I would contact Samsung support by mail or phone and ask them if this statement is true. I could believe it's possible, but again you never know when it comes to Samsung. They could have changed a little bit...

Done. The Support couldnt give me an answer on my question.. I will see what happens.
U can compare the devices on different internet sites and u will see that there is NO difference between those displays
well, there might be no difference, but actually, yes there was ! o:
i got it back yesterday, and it worked for 1.5 hours with restarting whole time and than it was dead and didnt boot normal or into recovery or download mode.
Now they have to reapair it better.. with i9506 display that will work 100%

yes.. they have differences.. if you control the codes on the seller sites you can see that they are different and incompatibles. it seems also that i9506 is a little brighter and larger. anyway the product codes are different
Hello.
So? Is there any happy ending?
I have changed display from i9505 too. and Phone is hanging, turning off and overheating...
Im interested if this is because of different display or because phone was wet when damaged display...
update: removed Antenna + Loudspeaker. phone still hot. but works now. So i do not believe that it is because of screen....

hey, nice to hear that it might not be the screen, for me the result is still unknown. My device was not working after letting them put i9505 display in it. It worked for quite an hour, than it restarted very very often and suddenly it didnt do anything at all. No Download mode or recovery mode too.
The shop said, that the software was completely deleted for no reason. but they flashed the firmware again but the problem with rebooting and after all having a "dead" device was still there. Now they are trying to find whats cauing this problem, and the will send it to samsung if they dont have a plan what it could be ( but i definetly know, that it has to do something with the screen, because earlier, befrore the display change, EVERYTHING worked fine!).
Im so excited how it will end, and especially, who is going to pay, if samsung has to repair what the shop has done wrong
Its really interesting....
I think they could break something when disassembling screen... It was quite difficult to remove some flexible cables as they were stick to screen.
If you have Samsung warranty then you can take only to Samsung dealers to repair, otherwise you loose warranty. That's how it is in my country.
update: My s4 was dead for half a day. but now fully working. have already flashed recovery and rooted... works like a charm
(it were restarting sometimes, after rooting restarts somehow have stopped)

finally i think (and i hope) i got a solution. Thex have ordered a i9506 display unit and finally understood that theyve done something wrong. now they will try to fix it and see if the fault was caused by the screen or not ^^ in some days i will now more
Well after trying to learn a bit about difference between i9505 and i9506 and shv-e330s i came to a conclusion that they might be the same device if samsung didnt magically decide to complicate things. I9505 and i9506 have different hardware and their displays are obviously not interchangeable. But, nowhere on the entire frickin internet was i able to understand is i9506 actually shv-e330s. Or are their screens compatible. So i asked samsung like this:
Hello! I would like to ask is there a possibility to replace a broken display on SHV-E330S S4. My father purchased the phone in South Korea and brought it to Croatia, but the phone fell and broke the LCD display. I am trying to find the display for SHV-E330S but I cant find any on the internet. My questions are - can I order a replacement display from Samsung directly? Or can I use the display for i9506 S4? They seem to be same variations regarding hardware inside, except for the DVB tuner antenna for SHV-E330S. Thank You in advance for Your answer.
Their response was just that they cant offer service outside of korea and that they are very sorry. Havent even mentioned the question about i9506 and shv-e330s.
So there ya go. You got shv-e330s outside korea? No help.
different screens
Hello there,
yes it is a different screen
I suppose it is interchangeable because I9500 or I9505 screen (I can't remember exactly) is working fine on my phone. BTW, I got the part and replaced by myself.
But, please note if they replaced your front panel as well, probably your MB was damaged. The front panel is a different one.

well if u by mistake buy screen of i9506 and u r bieng i9505 just buy back casing of i9506 and it would be ok , atleast it solved my problem with the screen bieng different then the phone . hopefully it helps
Hey,
Yes there seems to be a problem, at least you cannot use a i9506 screen on a i9505 Phone.
Seems to be a Problem with the connector, because the screen works until somewhat applies too much force on the conector (not much, just a tip with the finger is enough), like the backcase does when it is clipped back on. So the connectors might differ on the on the models. Hope this helps someone.
