On my almost 3 years old I had "oily stain" - obviously from wearing in pocket of my jeans. Pressure on display causes this problem. I dismantled phone and by aplying pressure on corners get rid of stain(done this once, it help for some time). But after powering up the phone, display was dark and with some strange colors(purple, pink...). I think I fu*ked up some of the flex cables with display signal or display itself, display doesnt look cracked and I am convinced that its not issue of backlight. Question is: Did someone saw this problem? Do you think that buying a new display from eBay(~$20) worth it? I am going to buy HD2(Leo) soon.. I tried to take photo but my camera cannot take that dark picture...
it seems display is damaged i took of whole display unit. Gonna buy new LCD sell it on ebay and buy HD2
Have the same problem on my touch pro after changing the screen. Dark display with some colored stripes that changes after i press some buttons or play a little with the touchscreen. I've tried to reconnect everything, play a little with the flex cables applying coductive tape etc. but no change. The LCD seems fine.
I have created threads regarding my problem at differrent forums but noone seem to know the cause or a solution.
Your problems are probably caused by a defective of flex.

So year i dropped my phone in the bathroom and cracked the screen and now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen. Considering i also have the newton ring on my phone i think its time for a new lcd and digitizer. Would someone with experience in this area take a look at the following link and let me know if this is all i need for a replacement.

You didnt say what phone you have!
If you have a Touch Pro then it looks right - i believe the fuze screen is slightly different (no front camera) so if you use this screen on the fuze you may see something through the camera lens.
I replaced mi display , it took me 2 hours to do it, but finally it worked fine. The only issue was the new display has a different color, the digitizer just worked perfect, even better than new, but the color is different, now the colors are less vivid and less brighter, I will try to adjust the display color settings, I will do it tonight.
oh wow good eye didnt even notice that. i guess ill go with this one i just found.

hey GussMiami, do you DIY your screen replacement?
I would like to replace my LCD by myself, but I do not know how to do it,,, tried to youtube it with 'replace touch pro lcd screen' or some thing like that but came up nothing.
tq before,,,
ps: if I have blue spots on my screen, is it some kind of dead pixels?
Xue v.2 there are a couple of guides around on replacing the screen http://www.att-phones.org/att-htc-fuze-user-manual.html
I ordered a new Digitizer and LCD for my Fuze yesterday as mine is somewhat scratched up, the job does not look particularly easy, at the moment I am debating finding someone else to do it for me vs possibly wrecking my phone doing it myself, from what I have read the hardest part is making sure not to break any cables/wires (commonly I see people breaking the speaker wires).
oh thank you naiku,
well, I think I will buy the lcd+digitizer for 30usd from ebay and have htc care to replace it for me,,,
plus I need to fix the keyboard as well. Let the pro doing the fix LoL
I am fixing my broken Atrix 2's screen. The touchscreen digitizer and LCD were both cracked. I purchased OEM replacments and the touchscreen works great but I am having display problems with the LCD.
The LCD I received doesn't seem to have the same pixel density or color gamut. It also flickers a lot and then goes dead after having to change what is on the display, ie watching a video or switching screens fast.
When I hook up the HDMI cable, the output to my tv doesn't have the same problem as you can see from the video in the link. I have some other videos that I can upload if needed.
The vendor is going to exchange the LCD screen for me but my question is could this be a problem with the phone itself and not a bad LCD screen, being that my damage came from falling off and then being run over by a car? I don't want them to have to send out another LCD if my Atrix 2 just won't work any longer.
When I had the phone apart there was not any visible physical damage to the board or other internals.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Apologizing up front for the Portrait video.
http://youtu.be/l2t6TmVsets
Here is another video. Again sorry for portrait but I wanted to get the whole screen on the screen.
Its a screen problem, LCD cable/connector problem to be specific... if it was a GPU problem, the HDMI wouldnt function either.
Picked up this phone from CL. The person was claiming that part of the screen is not responding to touch.
I have seen it when I picked it up, but I thought that I will deal with it when I get home.
I was keep playing with the phone almost everything it's working on it except the volume buttons and that horizontal line where the #456 is on the dial pad.
I have removed the battery and noticed that the white sticker it was pink, water damage.
Now I don't know what could be the damage here? There is a shadow across the screen also, but it's not a crack.
I have seen this before on a digital camera, it was the aluminum sheet metal under the LCD, had a smudge across on that aluminum finish too.
Couldn't remove it though. Replaced the screen on the camera and it was as new.
Not sure what could be the problem with the phone?
Should I replace the digitizer, since the LCD shows everything correctly? It could be something shorted internally? I have the phone apart, but I don't see anything wrong. Cleaned all the contact with electronic cleaner, no change.
Any help would be appreciated.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

I think I would replace the LCD and digitizer as a unit. The slightly higher cost would be easier to accept than having to do it more than once, which would probably end up costing more. Either way is a gamble, though, because that might not be the issue.
Volume buttons are notorious on this phone. I have not known or read about someone fixing them. You can get around the problem for the most part by using software to control the volume, using roms that will restart to recovery or boot loader, and the occasional use of ADB commands, but some bootloop situations require the hardware to work.
Good luck with your project and let us know how it works out.
Not just a pretty Pickle.
I'm thinking of buying the whole LCD as a unit, but that is why I'm asking that maybe somebody could tell me if it's the LCD or other hardware.
The volume button it's together with the upper camera board and I guess it has to be replaced together.
Hello,
Touch screen glass was broken, due to my phone fallen on the ground. The LCD was still working perfectly so i've ordered a new genuine digitizer for my HTC Z710E.
After replacing it my GSM does nothing . When charging i see the charging light lighting up in red or either green when full, but besides that i won't do anything. I disassemblied the phone again twice, reconnect all the connectors and still nothing. Sometimes my phone vibrates and sometimes when i push the power button the charging light disappears but that are the only signs of living.
Is this a common failure after replacing the digitizer? Did i overlook something?
Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Thanks in advance!
If the LCD ribbon cable is, in fact, getting a good connection then I would probably lean towards the lcd itself having been damaged during the install. Due to the construction of the sensation, it can be difficult removing the lcd without damaging it even for an experienced tech like myself.
What I would suggest would be to go ahead and order a new lcd. This would also be a good time to double check that the part number on the new digitizer's ribbon cable matches that of the broken digitizer you removed, as the incorrect part will lag when the screen is turned on at best and will not work at all at worst. As far as I know, the sensation and kindle fire are the only devices like this where you will have slightly different parts even within the same model and region.

Hmm i already thought so . I did it really really careful, but despite that it broke.
Time for getting another phone. Don't have much money now, but i shall see what's for sale
So my photon Q is rather old. Shocking I'm sure. Recently the screen has started behaving very oddly. Flickers, sensitivity is weird, blacks out etc..
I thought perhaps flex ribbon due to keyboard sliding and closing but now I think may be digitizer or the lcd. I"m leaning towards digitizer becasue when it does work it looks perfectly clear. But there will be the one time i push the power to check if I have anything and nothing happens. Reset it and can see the screen wants to do something but can't decide what. Reset over and over and eventually boots up fine.
Digitizer?
Thanks for any info.
Anybody able to chime in
Flickering screen can't have anything to do with the digitizer. The digitizer is just there for input.
It could be that the connector is a bit loose on the mainboard. The way the Photon is designed I wouldn't think it's the ribbon. I could be, but very unlikely. Anyway it's worth looking into the connectors and just to be sure the ribbon as well. But that would take a full dismantle. The connector is just 5 minutes work.
Next time try booting into recovery. If that goes well (and regular boot not) i'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem (GPU).

When boot in any mode Ican't see anything.. A fading circle of grey lines runs vertically down the front. Sometimes after many reboots it fixes itself though. Good to know not digitizer. So take apart and check ribbon and maybe replace LCD likely?
I wonder if it is possible to simply replace the LCD if it's defective or if you have to replace the whole LCD-digitizer-speaker-etc set (which is expensive).

I ordered a replacement lcd screen so will find out. I also ordered the digitizer and flex cable.
So i'm thinking it may be more hardware involved than screen inolved. When it does work everything is usable and it works fine. This is only about 10% of the time at this point. Otherwise it boots up to show some vertical lines traveling down the middle of the screen but only in a circle in the middle of the screen that fades as it gets close to the edges. I'll try taking apart tomorrow night to see if ribbon and what not looks ok. But so far i've invested about $70 into parts and i'm thinkin about just snagging an S5 for $100. I will miss the keyboard though although I can hope that like the s3 and s4, the s5 will get a keyboard attachment. Thoughts?
If I remember correctly the LCD comes with the ribbon and camera connected. The digitizer is connected via a ribbon to a board in the top of the front panel. You could try to disable the pin. When the phone doesn't seem to work, reboot and try calling yourself. If it rings, there's something wrong with the screen and not the phone.
If there was something seriously wrong with the phone, it wouldn't boot. But that's just me guessing/assuming.
My daughter's Photon has had a digitzer replacement twice. And it looks like it's been used to play football. But that one still rocks. No quirks or any strange behavior for that matter.
What I'm trying to say is that the Photon is a decent piece of hardware. A family of four, we all have a Photon. Three of which have had their digitizer replaced and one an LCD (scratched it when replacing digitizer).
I swapped my Razr HD for an Z2. It was time for a new corporate phone. So that, and the camera, is the reason why I went for a Z2. My options were 930/G3/S5/Z2. S5 is not my cup of tea. The G3 has no ruggedness whatsoever. The 930, apart from WP maybe I should have went for it.
So it came down to the Z2. To be honest I'm looking to trade it when the Z3 compact arrives. We'll see.
@Loader009
Digitizer is a part, board for speaker is a part, the speaker itself is a part (adhesive, watch out, btw 100% the same as Droid4), and the LCD is a part on it's own.
Going to open up my phone tonight after work. I was bored and was just playing with the keyboard sliding it open and closed a bunch and now the screen looks perfectly clear.. although sometimes it will still black out and I have to reboot it a few times to get it back. I feel its more a connection inside like you stated earlier. I love my Photon and really don't want to have to get a non slider phone. New phone's are so friggin huge lol.
The good thing is, the PQ has gotten pretty cheap, so you might want to get a used one at ebay if the part to replace is too expensive.
flickering screen (backlight) is not lcd problem.
for 70% is it problem on mainboard - backlight ic. This problem is caused by using unoriginal charger.
and 30% flex problem
I had my screen become un-responsive etc, it was due to a crack in the ribbon. Swapped it out & all ok.
Easier to swap the whole screen assy than to change the ribbon, but depends on what spares you have/can get.
You'd need to have a good look at the ribbon for any damage.
