I only belong to 2 Sites that I actual post in. So, I thought I would give it a try here!
The problem, I have an Galaxy s4 active, that is company owned. From a place that gives me work on occasion. They gave me the phone for personal use and so they can get a hold of me whenever they need to no matter where I'm at. My problem Is that the phone was thrown down the steps and the screen is shattered.
I'm not going to call the company and tell them. I want to fix this on my own. For a few reasons. My son broke it and it's not their problem. And I just don't want to be "that guy" that gets occasional work to add them another headache or cost. That doesn't look good.
Now, My question. Can I buy another S4 active and just change the little card in the back?
Or should I just buy one and change the circuit board and screen? Which is no problem for me.
Ohh..I already tried to change the glass and broke the digitizer and lcd.
That glue is tough stuff! But I'm sure I could swap the whole mess. No problem there.
My son, throws everything down the steps, we went camping and the phone got a little wet so I took it out of it's case. Anyhow, I didn't put it back right away. Took it out of my pocket, laid it on the entertainment center, before I knew it, little hands grabbed it and ran straight for the steps(which has a gate). It bounced down the steps in slow motion.
It hit the tile floor at the bottom that is like a rough slate, face flat!!! I knew as soon as I saw it hit it was done. Can't blame the little guy! We play gams with me, my wife and him, throwing balls at each other down the steps and over the loft into the living room below, we shouldn't have started that! Now he thinks it's fun to throw everything, Kind of hard to be mad or tell him no, when my wife and I throw stuff below at each other as a game. I shouldn't have put it in his reach. And he just laughed! He thought that was fun!!! HAHA So it was kind of funny! But now I have to get it fixed without anyone knowing it was broken!
Thanks!!
