Hi everyone
I washed my smartphone in washing machine a month ago. It was 5 days in rice then i took it to service. They cleaned it a i get mobile back with damaged display, which is green all time and touch doesnt work too. Everything works ok except screen. i connected mouse to the device and chcecked it. And now i have chance to buy a new display with good price. What do you think, is the display only damaged thing or it could some other parts?

Ok so i walked into my desk at work last week and cracked the LCD - i had already puchased a new digitiser as my screen was getting pretty scratched up so i figured i'd simply buy a new LCD and take the phone and new parts round the corner to my local phone shop who were happy to replace my screen and return the next day.. great.
Fast foward and now i have a BIG problem. The new LCD doesnt seem to work once the phone has booted. SO, when you turn the phone on you get the usual windows boot screen with the rom info in red in the bottom corner (im using Monx's latese 6.5 rom). After that though it all goes Pete Tong, when then alignment wizard starts the screen goes nuts, flickering like an old TV and not displaying a steady image. The guys at the store say the phone is damaged from the knock to the screen however before I did a hard reset and removed my sim and SD card the parts of the LCD that were still able to display the today screen etc were showing everything correctly and flicker free and even allowed me full touch control with the stylus.
I basically need some advice from people who know a thing or two about replacing Touch Pro screens. Despite what the shop guys say i suspect that my screen is not compaitble with my Touch Pro which is originally a UK Vodafone but i now live in Canada and got the new LCD from the States. The person who sold me the LCD said it was compatible with all Touch Pros & Diamonds, but then he would say that wouldnt he!
My options are either buy another LCD and hope that does the trick or bite the bullet and get a new crappy canadian contract and a new handset. please help me ive tried the search and cant find anything that helps me and im desperate for a solution!
Cheers
Its a LCD issue what you got, my guess is that the person at the store either gave you a faulty one or its a duplicate lcd,also cleaning the LCD connector with alcohol would be a good idea.Its very rare that in the Diamond/Touch Pro category the connector to get damaged.
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
Hi Guys,
First post so go easy. Lurked the boards for a while now but only just registered. Hoping some one can help me out a little here, as I'm at my witts end now.
So I bought my xoom (MZ604..?) back in february second hand for £125 posted, it's a the 10.1" version and it's running android ICS. I bought it as i love my Samsung galaxy tab 7 but i think it lacks the screen size and the xoom seemed like a great price for a larger equivalent. I used it pretty much every day and it was awesome, never had any problems with it until...
My son decided to kick it off my lap onto the granite fireplace. The screen instantly went black and just didn't do anything. I could see a faint bbacklight on inside so I assumed it was the LCD panel that was broke, i could still here notifications and if i swiped in the right place i could also hear the tablet unlocking so the digitizer was ok too. I bought a water damaged xoom off ebay and harvested the screen to try and replace it and that wen ok, except i still had the same problem so I assumed that screen was broken too, oh well spares and repairs doesn't always work out lol...
So I bought a brand new LCD panel and fitted that yesterday, and it STILL won't work. However, the issue i now have is it won't turn on at all. I've taken it apart and put it back together multiple times to make sure it's all gone back in the right place etc. It's also charging ok, i put it on the dock and the light goes white, and then green after a while.
I'm at a loss here, as the new screen and xoom cost me nearly £100 so it's not really worth me paying any more as it's begining to seem like an endless pit of money.
TLDR:
Bought xoom
Son dropped xoom
Screen went black but tablet still worked
Bought 3nd hand xoom and swapped lcds
No joy with that
Bought brand new screen
charges but won't turn on now
Hoping someone on here can help me, i really don't want to throw it away as it's a fantastic device, but at the same time i can't keep plowing money into it if it won't work.
Thanks guys,
Uv.
Hi.
I have a yellow spot on the display. It seems to be the same like many people had it on the HTC One X. I had it too, on the One X.
I read, it was something with some glue in the display.
Cheers
factory warranty covers it so bring it back and if its whitin 28 days of purchase, demand a new sealed box as consumer right entitles you on.
That looks like a manufacturer defect right there. Get it exchanged ASAP.
Display Issues
Forgive me, but what's wrong with These Displays These days? Or am I doing something wrong?
I've been having Trouble with spots on Displays for years.
When it came out I bought a HTC One X. After a month there appeared a yellow spot on the left edge. I brought it back, waitet for 1,5 months and then became back my device with a replaced Screen and battery.
After another month i got again a yellow line... It was always the same, at first there is a slightly yellow line on the left or right edge, after a while it gets darker and darker and turns violet/Brown.
I returned my htc one x 3 times, after the 4th attempt to repair i became the Money back.
After that i bought a HTC One X Plus. Same Story! I returned it 3 times for the same Screen issues, in the end after another year struggling I became again the Money back.
Then i bought a Xperia Z2: Believe it or not, again same pain 3 attempts to repair and then Money back.
The good Thing is, I always got the Money back. But i buy a device for using and working with it, not for having this Trouble.
In december 2014 i bought a Xperia Z3. Yesterday I noticed a yellow line on the left edge ...
In the meanwhile i bought a Surface Pro 2 also... and had the same Trouble, I had to send it in because of yellow lines ("just" one time, for now...)
What is going wrong here?
Its probably the glue, I guess you are just very unlucky. I went through two One Xs and luckily no yellow spots, in fact I have never gotten any device with that. Just get a warranty replacement, nothing else you can do. Its pretty bad on your phone, I believe its UV cured glue.

Bad luck, dude
It seems that yellow spots do happen in some of the phones manufactured in a certain period of time and cause mainly by the OCA(Optical Clear Adhesive) glue between the glass and digitizer
Thanks for your replies, i'm gonna return the phonre for repair again.
Could this Problem be connected with heat issues? All the Devices ( well, except maybe the xperia z3) could get very hot.
Yeah that can also cause that, do you live in a very hot area? I went to med school in a place where it commonly reached 45C/113F+ in the summer and I still never got this issue with my LG Optimus 2X, HTC One X and HTC Butterfly
Well no, it's not that warm here, it barely gets to 30C in Summer, and I got the issues also in winter... But my htc's and the z2 were itself good heaters
Did you solve this issue ? Did you need to replace screen ?

Yeah, unfortunately I had to replace the screen.
Actually they replaced the screen 3 times and after that (and after quite a bit of fight ) I returned the phone to the seller.
I seem to have some kind of bad luck in that regard, here is my statistic for the past few years:
Yellow spots on HTC One X -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on HTC One X + -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Sony Xperia Z2 -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Sony Xperia Z3 -> screen replaced 3 times
Yellow spots on Microsoft Surface Pro 2 -> screen replaced 1 time, it's yellow again and has to be replaced but I need it for work
And now:
Yellow spots on Microsoft Lumia 1520, have to send it in
I thought that I do something wrong (although I never had these Issues before HTC One X), then a few weeks ago I went to an electronics reseller to take a look at an exposed Surface Pro 3 and saw that picture... Look at that the yellow line on the left edge :silly:
You're very very unlucky mate....
3 different retailers and 5 different devices, with similar/same problems? There's something wrong happening there..

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
