The digitizer on my tablet is behaving funny. Ive had a bad experience in the past sending my laptop in to get the screen repaired, so I'm curious to know how well repairs turn out. If you ever had the screen on your tf700 replaced, what was the quality of the replacement? Was the screen in good condition (did it have dead pixels, decreased gamut, or decreased brightness). Were there any telltale signs that the screen was replaced?

I got my phone a few days back and on full brightness I notice backlight bleed at the top left of the screen. It isnt very noticible but is nevertheless annoying. My computer LCD also has bleed at about the same spot so I know LCD's do have this problem but I am not sure if the nexus S is supposed to have it.
So anyone else has backlight bleed? Can I and should I claim warranty on this? If I claim warranty I should demand a replacement instead of repairing and putting a new LCD in it right? My phone is barely a few days old.
I have 3 dead pixels as well.
Seems like I have corner bleed as well with full brightness. Please someone comment on the quality of the i9023 display? I know dead pixels are pretty common and they dont really bother me. But I am kinda disappointed with the backlight uniformity.
That should be plenty to get you a new screen or a refurb phone. I don't have any screen bleeding on my i9023 and the SC-LCD is exceptional. Have a chat to samsung or your carrier while it's still brand new.
I don't have it. Get it replaced
Okay guys will go to the service center. I hope they accept it without much hassle.
Now as for refurbish phone, why should I be getting a refurb phone? My phone is less than a week old.
From memory, Samsung's policy doesn't involve getting you a brand new phone. They'll give you a refurbed one or change out your screen (most likely). However if you've bought it from a reseller or service provider, they might be able to offer you a new one no hassles. It all depends really, and i've not gone through it to really comment.
Just remember if you end up sending it in, don't put the back cover or battery in there and unroot and relock bootloader just in case. If you're lucky you'll get an extra back cover and battery for your troubles.

I dont have the phone rooted so thats not an issue.
I bought a sim free nexus from samsung distributor in my country. I really didnt know about this samsung policy it really stinks if true.
I dont have time to get the LCD replaced as I am leaving town next week and it kills resale value as when you sell the first thing the other person asks is if it's been repaired.
I will call the distributor tomorrow to see what "policy" they have regarding this. If I get new phone then good otherwise I will just keep using it. The problems with my LCD can only be seen with a keen eye so I really dont think it would cause a problem when selling the phone.
You'll probably be expecting a 3 - 4 week turnaround time if you send it to them (unsure about service centers and what powers they have in this) and you can have a read here. Luck of the draw most likely.
I just checked a friends iphone 4 and even that didnt have a very uniform screen at full brightness. Are you guys really sure you cannot see any bleed at full brightness in a dark room?? Not many LCD's are capable of that atleast the corners will be a bit more bright. And to be fair the nexus LCD does get really really bright on full brightness.
I think I can live with this since I barely use the phone on full brightness.
And I also searched about dead pixels, it seems many screens will have atleast one or 2 if you notice hard.
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.

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.
Hi all,
I received my N5 today, it's a great phone (fast, smooth, google experience etc) but after a couple of hours spent playing with it I noticed a defect in the display.
It looks like some excessive glue between the glass and the display (see image http ://imgur. com/8KOzGGn ).
The stain is visible if you put the phone under direct light even if it's off (that's why I think it's glue).
I'm going to contact Google/LG tomorrow and ask for fix/replacement.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Hello all.
Any help would be appreciated
I've had my nexus for a while and ended up cracking the glass on the screen.
While the digitizer was still working, i planned on fixing it whenever I had the chance to.
As few weeks later, I took a nice chunck out of the screen (Which still left the half of the screen working)
I knew a complete screen replacement would cost around ~$120 at the time I bought one.
My mentality is that buying a complete screen w/ frame of ebay would be cheaper then sending it back to Google and/or LG.
Which I should've done.
But anyways, my arrogance drove me to buy this.
Delivery was swift, and suddenly got to work as soon as I came home.
Disassembled my nexus (Surprisingly easy) and attach my new screen.
When I powered up my phone, i was greeted with this .
This kind of upset me, but the fact that everything was working compared to how the screen was previously blinded me from troubleshooting the issue.
What got me, if you zoom into the top right of the screen, is there is an natural curve/crack inside the lcd which leads me to believe that my new screen wasn't 100% working.
This bar was constantly there. Not of the most annoyance, but still was there.
Fast forward a few days, then all hell breaks loose. Previously with my old screen, I had red bars/line run vertically on the screen, almost blinding the actual content.
Then this started happening with the new one. At this point, the coincidence led me to believe that the circuitry in the on-board was damaged as well.. OR the new screen has the same exact issue. Which i believed to be less likely.
I closely inspected my on-board through-out my phone, and noticed no damage. (At least at visible level)
As days went on, the effect got worse. Whenever I'd lock my phone, and turn it back on, the streaks were gone.
Then slowly faded back after a few seconds of having the lcd on.
I've already spent $110 on a new screen, which didn't end up working.
I've probably voided my warranty by having done it myself (Regret it completely)
Ebay seller requires returns to be shipped back in the state it was, which im sure i've thrown out the box that contained some stickers etc. that were initially on the new screen.
What should I do? My phone contract is up in two months. Should I get another nexus 5 with the 6 being already out?
Should I send this to LG/Google ? (i bought it through the play store)
Should I give up on this 90% functional phone?
Should I send back the dysfunctional screen? (But it also could be the on-board causing issues)
Im a Canadian user on Fido.
Thank you for your time
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!
