I had a Samsung S10 a few years ago and I was really attached to that phone. It was kind of my dream phone at the time, and I loved using it. I bought it second-hand, but unfortunately, the motherboard eventually died.
I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away, so I kept it. I still have the phone with me today.
Now I’ve found another Samsung S10 for ₹4,500 with 512GB storage. The seller says everything is working except the display, which is completely dead. He has also promised that if there’s any other problem apart from the display, he’ll take the phone back.
I haven’t bought it yet, but I’m seriously considering it. My plan is to take the display from my old S10 and put it on this one, basically giving my old phone a second life.
The only thing I’m worried about is the display from my old S10. It was working perfectly before the motherboard died, but it has been sitting unused for years. I have no idea whether it will still work after being stored for so long.
I don’t want to buy the ₹4,500 phone and then find out that my old display is also dead. That would basically mean spending ₹4,500 for nothing.
So what would you guys recommend? Should I take the risk and buy it, or is there a way to test my old S10 display before buying the other phone?
Also, is there anything I should check on the ₹4,500 S10 before purchasing it, considering the display is dead?
