How can I repair a Galaxy A8 that has a smashed screen and is lifeless

Hi @cndgeek ,

The phone would need to be opened and inspected as to what damage has occurred on the systemboard as well, given that the screen has been smashed.

Here’s a video that shows how to replace the screen in the phone. It is useful as it shows how to open the phone so that the systemboard etc can be inspected, initially for any obviously damaged components and then if it needs to be tested to find out what is wrong.

It may be that the battery has been depleted beyond recovery after months of not being charged and needs to be replaced but again it would need to be tested to see what is wrong e.g. is power getting through the charge port and to the battery.

Replacement screens are available online. Just search for Galaxy A8 2018 LCD screen to find suppliers that suit you.
