    • Here we have the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini with the LCD broken. The touch works fine, but its easier to replace the entire assy.

    • First of all, remove the battery door, then the battery....

    • Then, unscrew all the screw from the bottom side. NOTE:All the screws has the same lenght

    • Now, with a flat screwdriver or the plastic triangle, separate the rear case from the front case.

    • Here we have the call speaker. Its glued to the front, so we have to release it or desolder the 2 knobs on the flex cable.

    • Now, lift from the right side the board, and be careful, below is the LCD connector.

    • It´s turn to the HOT STATION. If you don´t have one of this, you can do it with a Hairdryer or a Heat gun

    • I don´t have any photo of the proccess, so I´m sorry for that. You must heat all the LCD area, and with special attention on the top and bottom areas.

    • Please be careful with the 2 lower buttons, they have this orange flat cable!!

    • As you can see, the LCD is totally destroyed, but it was broken before, so...

This Youtube video give great detail of the s3 mini internal parts, to help guide you in your repair. https://youtu.be/iKBkAjj87b4

It's also helpful to know the various layers of the 'display' so you know which part to buy. I haven't given up yet, but my attempt to apply heat (hair dryer or sun) to remove the top layer of glass, which is held down with adhesive (hence the use of heat to 'melt' it a bit) was not successful. Ended up damaging the LCD underneath. Now I know I can get the complete assembly with LCD and top glass layer already assembled (as in this guide), so the heating process is not needed, just reassemble and screw the parts together!

Ebay is a great resource to find these various parts, by the way, in case iFixit doesn't carry them.

If you only need to replace the broken touch screen glass on top, then you first cover the whole glass with a wide tape to fix the splinters of the broken glas, then carefully melt the glue under the glass with a hair dryer, .. but be careful with the knife blade, or you will cut through the wire to the LCD .

The whole process you can watch in several YouTube tutorials for samsung galaxy s3 mini : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_q...
