Hi,
I have a problem with my Nexus 5 screen. It started more than a month ago, when out of nowhere my screen began to show vertical and horizonal lines across the screen. It has gotten worse in the next few days until a part of the screen blacked out completely. It seemed like the LCD is cracked, and not the outer glass.
I have bought a replacement screen from AliExpress, and when I got it and installed it, the problem remained, and it looked very similar to the first screen.
I have contacted the seller and he had sent me another screen that arrived today. I installed it but unfortunately the problem remains.
Attached are photos of the first and second replacements.
Is it a screen-related problem? Should I ask for a refund and get another screen?
Or is it a more serious problem, in the motherboard etc?
Thank you

I cracked my screen a few months back, and right after it happened I bought a new digitizer to replace the cracked one. The install didnt go very well, since the tape used to adhere the digitizer to the LCD got mangled during removal of the original digitizer. Dust ended up getting between the LCD and Digitizer etc. One other problem I ran into was that the LED's that are supposed to illuminate the home/menu/back/find buttons were now shinning up into the screen and washing it out.
Anyways I got fed up with the dust and bought a new fully assembled screen/digitizer off ebay. I installed it last night and everything is great except that the lights are still shinning up through the glass and washing out the lower inch of the screen. I dont see why this would happen as there is really only one way to put it all back together.
Any insight as to how to get the lights to stop doing this?
Thanks!
I managed to break the screen on my Optimus 3d last night, not sure if it was dropped or ran over. I found it face down in my driveway this morning and to my horror when I flipped it over the screen was completely smashed, however the phone is still working fine, minus the never ending ghost call issue.
What make the situation worse is Rogers just sent me out a replacement phone yesterday and I have to send this one back, in the next couple days.
So I called a repair centre and they wanted $190 to repair the phone, and stated they would need to replace the LCD and the glass screen. I know there is nothing wrong with the LCD screen, phone functions and all colours are good, just has broken glass.
My question is, can I repair just the glass without replacing the LCD? I have found the screen for around $30 on ebay. Based on watching the how to on youtube it doesn't look like too difficult of a job.
me too i have broke my glass of my phone and they said like your prize to replace thre glass but in my country crunncy and the screen work perfectly I don't know why they want to change the screen too it's annoying

If your LCD is working you only need the digitizer replaced (phone front + touch screen) which costs you around 20/30$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2d78e968 .
My touchscreen was broken (randomly pressing things on the screen) and I think the 2nd hand shop I got it from only replaced the digitizer I think based on the small dust I see on my screen.
This only works if your LCD doesn't show blurry or (partially) black (damaged).
All,
I know this is of my own doing but dropped the TF701 a few weeks ago. Looked like everything survived unscathed with the exception of the top right corner of the gorilla glass being cracked. But I spoke too soon!
For the last few weeks, the unit will be working fine and then all of a sudden I will get multiple horizontal lines across the screen and the unit locks up. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had a similar issue, and is it worth getting repair?
Not sure if this is due to the glass being cracked or is their something more serious with the innards...
Opinions welcome!

You are in the TF700 forum
Sounds like hardware damage to me - I'd get it replaced or repaired.
I replaced my nexus 5 screen after cracking it with a new lcd, digitizer, and the frame from amazon. tested the screen before re assembling the whole unit and all looked great. after getting it all buttoned up i found that after the screen sleeps and comes back on the colors are very distorted. Rebooted the phone and the color is accurate again, but again after the screen sleeps and comes back on the colors are distorted. I then tore it back apart installed my old crack screen and all is fine again. I am looking to see if anyone has come across this. I am assuming it is a bad display, but would like to see if anyone has any other suggestion on a possible problem before i return the display.
Bump: just because i'm returning the replacement screen tomorrow and ordering another if no input.
My Nexus 5 fell on the ground and I ordered new replacement screen on eBay. I successfully changed the screen and the phone was working fine for 1 week. Next morning I was playing on my phone and it suddenly became very hot in the bottom of the screen and there was a lot of color flickering as shown in the video: vid.me/hGXm (the site doesn't allow me to post outside links, so i removed http..)
I wiped the software, but it didn't help. Screen replacement provider has asked me to rub the connector port flex cable with some alcohol, but it didn't help. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
That's what you get for buying screens off eBay. There is a OEM LG parts supplier in Portugal that has genuine screens
Ask for replacement screen or refund. Have had bad screen sent to me before for a different phone

a website would be nice
missunderstood you
I agree with @mymeatb18.
Third party screens are much cheaper and usually work very well for the price.
I have replaced the screen on 10 nexus 5 phones and also got a really bad screen. The seller replaced it and everything has been fine for months.
I just put a new screen and housing last night to my wife's phone. lots of internal pieces to swap out, took a good time while being extremely careful not to damage anything. having trouble with the battery now. it is not wanting to charge. the battery was replaced a couple months ago with an ebay OEM original claim haha. what a coincidence it stops charging the same time I remove it to replace. it must have been junk to begin with
The USB flex cable may have been damaged during the swap? Any loose connections?
I have swapped several screens and only had one minor problem out of 10 screens.
