Hi!
I went to the swimming pool with my galaxy fit and it was wet.
I opened my galaxy, took out the display and i dry all the parts.
I assemble it and i turn on. All is ok! but the screen sees like a 16 bit computer.
Colors shows rarely.
What is the problem? The display? or any component of my galaxy?
If you're sure that the problem is the display y will buy and change it ^^
problem solved. I change the display.
The problem wasn't the water, it was the flex. Some connectors got broken.

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.
my screen on my tab 2 7 works almost perfect, except when I draw diagonaly, it wiggles tons. the screen is clean amd it has done this sonce i first opened it. It does this regardless of if I use a stylus or my fingers, and it does the same on my sisters tab of the same kind. Is it fixable? or is ia just a hardware problem? Im an artist so this is getting really annoying, since it wont draw curves or circles because of this D:
Mine's done it since day 1 also, and as far as I know, it's a common "issue" with the digitizer. Basically, the digitizer cheap. Only way I've found around it is to apply more surface area with your finger.
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.

Hey guys,
I ran into a huge bout of bad luck beginning with my own lack of mindfulness. I dropped my S6 and shattered the screen. I bought a screen that was advertised as being OEM and plugged it in. It powered on and it seemed to work fine but there were these strange lines (not the really bright ones, but kind of like dull scan lines) and it just seemed very low resolution. I assume that the replacement screen was defective as well, but I'm not sure if this could also be a motherboard issue?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Hi. i hope everyone is fine. i have Samsung galaxy J7 2016 (SM-J710FQ). One day, touch suddenly stopped. Then i flashed custom rom in currently (Lineage OS) but the touch is not working. not even in recovery (in both twrp and orangefox) i am using mouse through OTG with it. any idea?
Any hard knocks or water exposure?
A connector may have come off or a possible hardware failure.
ummm i dont remember exact incidents. but the screen is visibly perfect. not even a scratch. and 4 months before the screen stopped working, the phone fell down on the floor from bed on several occasions. the touch stopped working without any incident per se.
and yeah there was very very little water exposure like invisible drops but it was in the mic's area, i took it to the shop for some other issue, he said there was little water exposure in it and i dried it. the screen was fine at that time.
Sorry, but looks like it back to the shop.
Or maybe upgrade time if not a cheap fix.
Like I said maybe just a connector.
Always use a good case as it protects by reducing high G loading to the phone when dropped as well as protecting the outside.
High G loading impacts can damage the mobo even internally damage chipsets.
yeah I tried almost 10 stock firmwares and 4 custom roms. currently it has Lineage OS because I love it. in the morning, i will take it to the shop. then i will comment here.

ok in order to help everyone. i took the mobile to a repair shop and he said that the touch screen ribbon is misplaced or pulled out due to falling. he just pressed the touch screen ribbon after removing the screen from it and then repacked the mobile. the screen is fine now.
