Last night I was going to bed and tried to set up an alarm for the morning after. I then noticed that my PDA doesn't respond to touches. Everything else works just fine. There are some ripples on the screen and they can be noticed if you view it at a low angle. Here's how it looks:

The devise hasn't been abuse in any way. It hasn't been exposed to high nor too low temperatures(outside yesterday evening was around -2 ~ -3 degrees Celsius). Although I think that the short call I made(less than 10 seconds) couldn't have been enough to let the cold damage it. After and before that it has been in my trousers pocket.
Can anyone tell me what could have done this?
P.S. Digitizer - my mistake
Can't tell you what is the problem with your device but if it's digitizer you can get a cheap one here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32150
it's just you have to wait a few weeks for it to come (at least I had to with some other things I bought on DX)
and I didn't buy this digitiser so I can't tell you more about it.
Hi!
have you put the screen protector on it anytime recently? If so, remove it and try again. I had this also once - bought and screen protector from the local HTC dealer, put it on (done it always so it wasn't the first time) and after a while I had the same problem as you. I did everyhting, hard resets, put a new ROM on..nothing. I also noticed the "oily spots" so I was frustrated. Finally I removed the protector and all of the sudden everything worked again.
I then bought a new protector and put it on very gently, I almost didn't push the portector on the screen and it works again. Still don't know if it was just a bad protector or what ws wrong. Try it..much simpler and easier than to go for a new digitizer.

The last time I've put a new one was November and to be honest I didn't expect it to last this long... after all a six-pack cost about $4
Can't try it now though cause the device is still in warranty and I returned in the shop for repair. I'm going to phone the guys there and inform them and I hope it works, cause they said that the problem is from the OS and reinstalling it will fix the problem. Don't think that it'll help but after giving it to them it's their problem to fix it I just want it working and if possible - faster
P.S. Did your digitizer stopped working at all or you'd have to push really hard to respond?
I have the same problem, I heated the screen with a air blower and the screen started responding. I don t think it is a permanent repair but at least it saves the day. This is my first day of repair so I don't know how long it will last.
End of april I tried extreme heat and cold on the screen and all of a sudden it started responding again. I still have that oily look on the lcd but it is working properly for almost 2 months now. (Just a quick update) (In the meantime I ordered spare LCD to replace it next time it stops responding)
Hey dear xda members
i got a problem this morning.. like every evening, after a hard day with moderate handy usage i loaded the battery over night, but in the morning, my whole display was black, just in the left lower corner it was a bit lighty..
and it was kinda hot, not dangerous hot, as i noticed at my last handy, but quite hot.
i put off the battery and waited serveral minutes, and it goes on again. but my display looks awful. it's nearly black, on the highest brightness level it's still very dark .. and you see vertical stripes, i made a picture, but my camera shows it very brighter than it actually is ..
in the circle you see some spots..
does anybody ever handled this problem? i also made a screenshot and watched it on my pc, it looks normal, like ever. so i don't think it's a software thing.. also the phone works like a charm, expect that you see not much . should i send it back, and set it to stock?
could it come from a little overheating?
thank you for every answer.
did you leave the screen exposed to the sun for a long time? (on the nightstand maybe?)
No... It loaded just in the night... No Sun , only darkness
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
i got a request.. i read the thread how to s-on, and de-root my device, but in some cases i don't trust my english and won't risk a brick so far..
does anybody know perhaps a video which shows step by step how to s-on, de-root a device so it is completly like it was in beginning so i can send it to HTC ?
yt don't show me really good examples..
thanks so far.
Hello guys, I am new to this whole website and only made it to ask this one question. So I accidentally dropped my new LG G2 in the toilet and want to know what I can do to NOT have to ask for ANOTHER replacement. Before I say the details, I just want you guys to know I DO NOT want my folks to get me a new replacement for my LG G2. They already paid for the one I broke just a week ago.
Some details of what happened are:
- I didn't drop my phone all the way in to the toilet. As soon as I see it fall, I tugged on my earphone wires to pull it up.
-Only the top half got wet.
-I tested to see if anything even happened and it seemed fine for about 1 min.
- I then restarted it.
- (I KNOW THIS WAS A STUPID THING TO DO) But everything seemed fine so I watched 21 Jumpstreet
- While watching for about 5 min, The screen started glitching out
- I turned the screen off then on again but the LCD was not working and was just black. Everything else worked fine except for the fact I couldnt see any of it
- I then turned it off and took off the back
- It is now in a bag of rice
PLEASE HELP ! I really need my phone not to break. I've read like 2 other post where the same thing happened to the same phone but they actually dropped the whole thing in the toilet. According to what they said, It worked fine after they let it dry.
It's always best to remove the battery-- resize that's probably not an option for you. Let it dry completely before you do any more "testing" the water inside is connecting areas of the circuitry that shouldn't be connected. You risk shorting out a great number of components if you haven't already. You can also place the phone/rice on top of a refrigerator, they pull moisture out of the surrounding air.
Hi !
My girlfriend dropped her Nexus 5 in the toilet I can't tell you how, I don't understand Just the bottom of the phone were under water on 3 cm and it stay there less than 1 second.
I completely disassembled the phone and I put it in rice. After 2 days like that I reassembled it and I tried to start it. The screen never woken up but the backlight was turned on. :crying:
When I hold the power button there is a vibration and when I plug it on the computer I can browse the data on the internal memory ( I saved all). I can go through the fastboot mode too.
So after all that information, I thought that the problem came from the screen, so I changed it. Same things.
How can I do a diagnostic ? I think that it is the screen controller or something like that.
Thanks !!

Just buy a new device. Fixing water damage is redundant
Before you throw it in the bin, open the device again, remove the battery and clean all parts which had contact with water with Isopropanol ( you get the stuff in every pharmacy ).
Let the parts dry again, try the device again. In some cases this method may help to remove the water marks and connections created by them.
In 99 out of 100 cases this might save your components if you act quick.
Rice doesn´t help much, it helps to remove the water but not the marks it leaves behind. Better eat the rice
Thanks for your reply !
I will try.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some help and advice ! Long story short (will try), I purchased a used z5 with a display/screen issue (I guess).
The first owner told me he dropped the phone and that screen was cracked and not working anymore, so he brought it to the repair store... they replaced the screen with a new one, but they told him that the new screen was broken / dead on arrival, and that they would order a new one to replace it again. The guy couldn't wait another month to get is phone back working again, so he quit with the phone like that and purchased a used samsung.
I purchased the standard sony z5 from him. The screen have color lines in it... sometimes purple lines on the left of the screen, all from top to bottom, sometimes it's different (like right now it's alonost all white), but it is not working at all - I don't see anything useful on the screen.
The phone seems to be working though because the flash/photo work with the lower button on the left side... there is an alarm after midnight on it (I wake up like an idiot the first time it came up, trying to stop the alarm, but fingerprint is not mine and screen is not working... I was at the hotel, and damn it was loud... I think it waked up everyone in the other rooms around me before stopping it with power/fingerprint + volume up ;p)
So, I'm wondering if there's only the screen to replace again (with a good one), or if it's worst...
Does anyone know about that kind of issue, and which kind of screen would you put on it ? I want to put a good quality one to use the phone after that.
Thanks in advance for any help and advices !
