MY SCREEEEEN! Not the glass, but the insides are making weird colors

Okay. Let's start with the cause of the problem. I am at my Gram's place doing work on her porch for money. (Because my life is in shambles) ...And so I'm pulling rusty nails out of the boards, and ones stuck. I pull on it with on me might (using a hammer) and it came through-- Fast. blahblahblah the hammer tapped my phone screen.

So now, where it hit, theres a purple box-shaped are of screwed screen and the lighting is like fluctuating. like ..... at this moment im starting not to see the right side altogther. NO CRACKS THOUGH. So I dont know how to identify the problem (sorry if this is answered, but I dont know the problem myself..... HELP)

WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIIIIIS, thats also not expensive, or even if I can fix this without paying for anything? Im sort of poor- explains why I have a two year old SG3 ;;-;;

Note: The touch screen literally still works. its the display. OH and when I put pressure (not that much, but enough) near and around the area my hammer went hangtime on, the screen freaks out. (pretty sure thats what started the leaky-like discoloration and the lighting to go haywire like a dopamine induced squirrel who ate a fermented pumpkin..)

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Sorry man, but there is no easy solution to this... The samsung s3 has a screen that breaks easy i think. Because it is a break in the screen behind your glass causing this. Only solution is to change the full screen. And even on ebay this screen is expensive. I dont know exactly, bexcause i get the price in norwegian currency, but i think the price equals to about £60-65.

Really sorry not to be able to help you any better than this, but at least you now know what you can expect.

Good luck :)

Thanks man. I hope my grams pays me alot for the job on her porch. I know im poor but I was planning on buying a game and using the rest on busfare for possible job opportunities, but I NEED this phone. otherwise I wouldnt have protected it like that golem from lord of the rings.

but what concerns me is, is it a hard thing to do? to replace the screen and such? because another thing is, I dont have the greatest resources and as a matter of fact, no wifi to come back to this page once I go home, so I cant just search a guide and play operation with me techs, ya dig?

p.s. thanks man

Another thing is, the blackness is spreading, and I fear the worse. I got like, 25-30 screen left before I feel like a legally blind man staring into a dark box where I thought I left my dentures.

The screen will be all black pretty soon. You can find great diy videoes on youtube, if you plan to do this yourself. Hope you have a way of watching them when time comes to do the job. :)
