    So, my galaxy s3 decided to get get caught in the car door. The screen is completely smashed, but my main concern is that its bent, only very slightly, down the middle. The bottom near the home button is the most bent part. So I take it to a repair shop I cork, and he tell me the motherboard is bent, but not broken. (He opened it after not being able to get it started) does anybody no how to fix a bent, but not cracked motherboard? Is it even possible? I appreciate all your replies. Thanks :)

    There could be many problems with the PCB. As the components are surface mount(and tiny), when the board was bent a few components could have come loose, and would prevent the phone from booting even if a new screen was installed. Tbh it is not something you would be able to fix yourself. You could put it in a oven for a few mins(very few) and then bend it back to shape, but that could cause even more damage, as solder would be soft and components could come loose again.
