Just be careful with the digitiser like most other phones these days lol

Yes. Repaired one for work. Absolute prick of a thing to work with.

S3 - buffer between glass and screen
S4 - no buffer, screen flat to device.

This was an S3 I was trying to repair. Never again. I've heard the S4's are even worse.

Yeah I've fixed my s3 screen twice (don't fall for the bs that you have to spend $300 on a whole new display).

First time I went mcguyver with a hair dryer, Stanley knife and guitar picks, second time the screen came with purpose made tools.

I had success both times, main thing is say is watch the thin ribbon that connects the back/menu button down bottom of the screen, that would be easy to break.

The cheeky bitch got it done in less than two hours also replaced the camera from another s3

Haven't tried an s3/4 yet. Replaced the Mrs screen and home button several times on the iPhone 3gs. Was a bit difficult at first but a hairdryer and a little time gets it there.

She wanted me to fix her sisters iPhone 4 screen. Looked at the videos. For someone who knows what they are doing it takes a few hours. With the 3gs you remove some screws, pull the front off then use a hair dryer to separate the screen and the digitiser. With the 4 you have to start from the back and remove every small component before you can get to the screen.
