I recently pulled out my tablet and noticed that it screen had cracked close to the top, an inch or two to the right of the camera down to where the volume rocker. The LCD screen itself seems fine but there is a weird fluid that is leaking out of one spot right at the top on the bezel. Its been happening for a few hours very slowly and I've yet to see any oddities with the LCD screen so I don't think its the fluid from the LCD screen, any ideas? I've searched everywhere and can't find anything.
I can live with the crack but would like to know if it's going to get worse/cause problems that might cost me more than replacing the screen. And if so is there any DIY way to make it a bit better

spill something on it?
Nope, I wipe it away and can watch more seep out from the crack

liquid inside your tablet has nothing to do with Asus
There should not be anything in your TF with liquid. Did you use your TF for some recreational pleasure?
Even the battery cells are solid.
My guess is the H2O from your Rubber Ducky battery level indicator. Or maybe the melting iceberg water from the Penguin. lol
There may be a layer of liquid in the LCD to improve transparency between layers. It shouldn't be leaking obviously so something is wrong.
Looks like many forgot what LCD stands for... it is Liquid Crystal Display, so it might be easily that when the bezel and the screen broke (mostly the screen, as it is directly attached to the display area, they are built together), it damaged the LCD crystal containers, and now that part leaks. Isn't there any weird artifacts on the screen, around the crack? Like dis-colorization, blind white spots, etc?

First real respons to the question i would have gone for the same.. Its probably the crystals leaking out you will be getting dead spots or artefacts soner or later so i would RMA it but i woluld not expect the factory warenty to cover it so my guess is it wount be sheap..

English please?
Are liquid crystals safe? Should you be touching them if it's them that are leaking?
Totally! It must be the LCD leaking. Defiantly don't touch it. If you think getting a splinter of glass out of your finger is hard just imagine a liquid splinter. It could work it's way into your blood steam and tear up your insides!

LCDs don't actually contain liquid. The word "liquid" refers to the physical properties of the crystals in the screen - they're "liquid" in that they can bend and twist smoothly to turn the pixels on and off. They won't leak out though.
I did some googling on leaky LCDs and only found a few actual stories of people claiming to have leaky screens. A few of them turned around and posted back that they'd found another culprit - leaving the laptop under a leaky ceiling for instance, so liquid later dribbled out around the screen. I'm going to guess someone spilled a liquid in your tablet, and it's dribbling back out when you hold it just right. Try removing the bezel (screws by the docking port, carefully pry it loose - there are threads about it) and I bet you find more liquid in there somewhere.

My day old Raphael is showing some coating problems. This morning I thought I saw a speck of dust. Tried to wipe it clean and the coating came off. Think what you like, but if you look at the two left circles you can see for yourself. No way a key or chain or whatever can do that. No damage just coating that isn/t there anymore at the size of <1mm. Send HTC an email, wondering what their reaction will be. Keep you posted!

Sorry to hear the bad luck, Good luck with HTC but I would not hold my breath
I would (for a one day device).
it is the anodize on the brushed aluminum... anodize is an electrochemical plating that is used to keep aluminum from oxidizing. either the aluminum wasn't prepped properly or the plating process was seriously flawed...or both. Anodize should hold up better but can easily be scratched by another metal...in aerospace, anodize is always followed up with a MIL spec primer and an optional top-coat of enamel.

I have got so this problem.Already have you got answer from HTC?
same problem here
I have the same problem.
Black coating comes off at different spots without any contact to sharp items (especially as my Touch PRO never goes into my pocket without it's case).
My phone is only 10 days old, and I asked 2call.nl to take it back and replace it.
They said I have to go to HTC directly, but HTC sais that the retailer is responsible for replacement for devices not older than 14days.
I feel like a ping pong ball, but agree to HTC and will put more preasure on 2call.nl.
They have to take it back by law, and I will not accept "go and try at HTC".
Will keep you posted.
I've found two other users experiencing same problems. One of them also bought it from 2call if I'm not mistaken. He got his replaced. Mine is from a different store. Bummer, I really don't feel for some pingpong. Keep you posted... Mail response: Give us a call. Yeah right so they can say its not our problem because its not 14 days old...
I have noticed that HTC has used factory "touch-up" which is basically a black sharpie marker to spot-cover some of the damaged finish where the anodize is damaged for whatever reason. You can really see this if you slide the keyboard out and look under the aluminum trim (edge that gets covered when the keyboard is closed). In the right light, the "touched-up" areas will have a distinct purple tint instead of black. Take a look, most units I have looked at have some degree of repair. Problem is, black marker comes off pretty quick and you are left with silver spots everywhere. Someone, in HTC manufacturing made a huge mistake and the build quality suffered tremendously... I love the hardware and the features of the TouchPro but the build quality is the worst I have seen... I am an aerospace engineer and I see this all the time. Just my 2 cents...
As long as the screen is okay, I wouldn't sweat it. Kinda like bumpers on cars, made for bumping
I was going to recommend a light touch with a permanent overhead marker pen, good thing about being black - didn't realise the manufacturers basically do the same thing...!
Remember back to when I was young and put a scratch on the front of my brand new Spectrum 48K - black marker to the rescue. I've even used them on the edge of book bindings that sometimes get scuffed...
From the photo though the long one seems more like a scratch, perhaps done at manufacture, and now the cover up has worn off. The points are what I would associate with non take up of the anodize.
Does anyone else have a gap between the screen and the bezel on the left (or any) side of their TF? Mine has a gap that runs the entire length of the screen. All of the other sides seem flush.
I hate to do this to anyone who just hadn't noticed a gap on theirs, but I came across someone else who noticed the same thing on theirs and it made me look at mine. If this is a common problem then I won't fret it, particularly with stock being so low at the moment.
My only concern would be whether or not the gap would allow dust to get under the screen. That's a flaw that I wouldn't accept...
Seems common around here. Can you post a picture so that those that haven't gotten one that see what you guys are talking about?!
Thanks!
I don't have a gap anywhere near as big, I have a really tiny lightgap at the lower right corner of the screen, no lightbleed there though and I have to be literally looking at it from a 170ยบ+ angle.
thanks, i would hav never noticed that...
Okay, not a lot of time to get a pic, but here's a try. You can see the connector for the volume and power buttons (I'm guessing) through the gap. It's this size for the entire length of the left side.

oh no I don't have that.
I had the exact same thing from my first unit, i returned it to Fry's (where I got it). The second one doesn't have a gap. Manufacture defect! Yours look pretty big. The one I got was pretty small, i can see the buttons btn the gap, but it was only paper thin.

Mine's not as large as it looks here. I might swap it out for a new one if there's stock by the time my Amazon 30-day return is up.
Mine is barely noticeable. Definitely not enough to bother me, but you can tell a difference if you look very closely.

Mine had a small gap along the bottom. Seemed to be more of an issue of the metal frame being slightly out of plum. I was able to straighten it my running my thumb along the length of it with just a little pressure.

No gap at all on mine
Mine has a paper thin gap. Only noticeable as you can see the metal of the HDMI port if you hold it at a specific angle. But as I have no dust and no light bleed at all I don't think I will exchange it.
Well on the top right side of my transformer, right next to the webcam so like

very messed up diagram, but the "o" is the webcam, the red part is the metal on the top.
it makes a clicking noise when i push on it
very soft though
I've got the gap too. Noticeable enough to reply to this post. I first saw it the day I opened the box right by the volume rocker as the pic above shows.
Upon very close inspection there is a slight gap on the left hand side, but I have to look lol
I have the non flush screen on the right hand side. About right in the center of the right side.

The glass part of my screen broke recently but it kept functioning, I could still use it like nothing was wrong. Then earlier today my screen went black but I can still feel the haptic feedback when pressing the menu and other buttons. I would just like to know, do I have to buy the digitizer along with the screen, just the screen or just the LCD. Thanks in advance.
Search replacing screen i727 xda. It's been discussed before. From what I remember you need to replace the screen and digitizer. It's next to impossible to separate the two.

After changing a bunch of screens for both apple and android....I would always recommend buying the complete LCD & digitizer screen replacement referred to as a screen assembly....if not it involves heat guns lots of glue that is not ment to unstick and so forth..... Most devices including the i727 make changing the screen assembly easy...
There are plenty of sites out there to show you step by step for most devices such as ifixit its my go to...for many devices and they have parts also. YouTube is another treasure trove.

I had just gotten my Skyrocket setup exactly like I wanted it and then it slipped off the seat of the car and I stepped on it. You have to replace the entire screen/digitizer assembly. There are some good you tubes on how to do that. I'll let you in on a "what not to do". I inadvertently severed the cable to the lighted buttons. No prob its an $8.00 fix. I put the new screen back in the phone, which is held by double sided tape so it wouldn't hurt to order some also. When the new cable came I looked at the phone and thought the hole at the top of the screen would be good leverage to remove the screen as I had scraped off most of the old adhesive. That was a mistake and almost a huge mistake. I cracked the new screen when I pulled on that opening on the new screen. I was just about to throw it in the trash and thought that I had the screen cable readily accessible I should plug it in. It worked perfectly- the digitizer doesn't go up that far and my case protector covers 95% of the broken screen area. It has worked perfectly since before Embryo 5. One of these days I'll get around to replacing the screen with a new one but not today. Have a pix attached.

I broke my screen and replaced it for $150 off ebay. Just buy the LCD, it comes with the digitizer and faceplate, everything you need. You can't just separate the two and do it yourself for cheap, you'll ruin it. Took me no more than 10 minutes from start to finish. I recommend getting something to pry open your phone (the kits are like $2) because if you use anything like a flathead or what not, you'll scratch and chip the edges. Nails work but it's frustrating and you might put too much force trying to pry it and snap a clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf6jqYejWNU (try to ignore his coke nail)
This video is what I used to make sure there weren't any cables I had to worry about when opening it. 7 screws, some patience prying it apart and your phone is open. The rest is just swapping out the internals to your new screen. It's really simple. Not worth sending it off for $200+ and being without your phone for a week just to keep your warranty. It's probably up or almost up anyway and you still have a nice, new-looking phone to sell when you're done with it.
Plus you get the satisfaction of fixing your phone yourself.
Just got my Note 3 and I'm loving it. However, I recently noticed upon closer examination of my screen that there is a permanent smudge mark that ceases to go away. It only appears when there is a large build-up of normal smudges or when I breathe on the screen.
Here is what it looks like:

Anyone else have this issue? To check, just breathe onto the screen creating that fog-like cover.
From what I have gathered, it is "oleophobic screen coating" wearing off but I have had my Note 3 for four days so it has not gotten that much usage.
I don't have that problem. Does this only happen when you have smudges or breathe on it? If so then I would suggest a screen protector either tempered or film.

Once I wipe the screen of all smudges, it goes away. But as soon as there are more smudges it becomes visible.
Is it worth exchanging?
If you are within you return policy date then yes I would. I'm the type of person if I knew it was there even though I don't see it it would bother me lol.

Mine seems OK, I'd suggest bringing it back also. If it is the coating of the screen vanishing this fast then that's a build issue. - could also cause weaknesses to the screen any time further down the line.

I have the exact same issue. My smudge is alot bigger. Its horizontal a little above center of the screen and about an inch long. It drives me crazy. I can wipe my screen completely smudge free and if I breath on it, there it is! It is starting to exceed the limits of my OCD medication!! :banghead:
Edit: Mine was like this since day one and noticed it about 10 minutes after purchase.

I have never seen anything like that before. If that was my phone i would be seeking a replacement ASAP!!!!
i have the exact same issue here, except the location, which makes it interessting:
mine is exact over the place of the indicator LED, and goes up to the top in a "U" form!
and i do not know why, but i did not encountered it before. could the light (and the minimal
temperature) from the led has something to do with this?
Probably is the coating worn off. I had something similar on my old phone. I ended up polishing the entire screen with a little bit of white toothpaste to remove coating elsewhere and give it a better appearance.
Wow I didn't think there we some many cases like this. What the hell is Samsung doing to these screens?
Reading this thread. .. It's just unbelievable that you guys haven't gone and got a replacement. No way should you be having any of these issues on an expensive flagship phone. Take it back is all I'm going to say. I haven't got it. ... If I breath on it the fog disappears Just as Fast as it came. ..

I would avoid doing so. I've yet to hear from a single person who had succesfully done so and didn't have some type of issue afterwards. Either the screen sticks out a bit and moves due to double sided tape used, or the LCD or some other component breaks when using the special resin/glue needed to make it fit correctly, back light bleeding through spots, etc. etc.
It's basically a nightmare and the only practical way to replace the glass is to replace the whole LCD assembly. Not something I would do for scratches.
Just get a screen protector (maybe glass) and call it a day.
