    Yes Good Point. Sorry I'd Got It In My Head That It Was A Complete Fascia Change!
    :p It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
  • HI, my hubby used his d500 last night and all was fine, i went to use it and there is just a bright white screen, tried turning on and off, battery in and out, charged it but nothing, just this bright white screen. It is over 1 year old, has it died?
    Thanks

    it almost certainly needs a new ribbon cable - ive done loads with the same fault. very occasionally it needs a screen

    a ribbon cable is about £5 + fitting (not easy to do if you havent done one before and easy to damage ribbon clips leaving phone scrap)

    screens are expensive atm due to a shortage -about £40 + fitting
  • Anyone know where i can get one cheap ???

    the LCD screen i mean, best i have found so far is £43 inc delivery - seems a lot for a phone thats a couple of years old !

    Just merged a few threads about this screen as it seems to prove problematic to a few people :)

    thats about the going price for 1 d500 screen (would be a bit cheaper in bulk)
    the price should come down a bit soon when the suppliers get some more.
    ive brought faulty d500s (broken pcb but good screen) for £30 and stripped for spares on ebay
  • We get loads of requests for D500 and D600 ribbons, even the newer D900's and E900's suffer from the same problem. Seems to be inherent in recent samsung phones.

    We offer a postal fitting service via our website if anyone needs any help. Example price to fit a D500 ribbon would be £14.99 labour and postage plus £6.99 for parts.

    Our website : https://www.themobilesite.co.uk

    If anyone views this as spam (hope not, but you never know), please PM me and I'll remove the link.
  • There is a good video of a complete strip down of a D500 kicking around on t'internet, I can't remember where I downloaded my copy from so you will need to Google for:
    d500assembledisassemble1 its (about 37mb).
