Sprint S3 tablet SM-T217S LCD can't read on bottom half, and can kinda read top portion after drop. How can I repair this myself?

[AC Question]

Sprint s3 tablet SM-T217S LCD can't read on bottom half, and can kinda read top portion after drop.

I dropped the s3. hit on rt. top corner.
still operates but screen unreadable lower half and kinda readable top half.
looks like lines and weird colors.
touch portion works fine even on unreadable areas.
I put another next to mine and found all areas of touch screen work. just cant read most of it.
did factory reset..still has problem.
what parts do I need?
where can I obtain them. I want to repair myself.
thanks for any help!

Either the screen, the motherboard or both. Then, when you've replaced both of them and it still doesn't work, you'll have to pay a shop to do it all over again.

Pay a shop the first time - it's cheaper.
