my screen goes crazy

OK so the story starts about 3 weeks ago when I got my tf300 in the mail. Because I am a clumsy idiot I ended up dropping It. I checked it out but it serener fine, but about an hour later I took it outside to sit on my porch(where it happened to be humid) and the screen went crazy. My friend who also has a tf300 managed to turn on the touch indicator and we saw that the screen thouht it was getting touched when it wasnt. So long story short i emailed amazon and theywere like here is a new one no probs. Get the new one in the mail and everything is fine, however a few days later my screen went a little crazy again.not as bad as the first time but still noticeable. So i turned the touch indicator on again and it sometimes brokeout in white dots in small areas and not the whole screen like when I dropped it. Anyone's know what's wrong? I can sometimes get it to stop and clean the screen, I also put a screen protector on and that helped. And before you ask no i didnt drop it or hit it or anything like that and I know about4 other proletariat with tf300s and they don't have these problems.

Mine did that, or used to until the .30 firmware update. I'm on jb now, still no issue, but when it was doing it, I found that tapping the power button to put it to sleep, then tapping again to wake it seemed to calm that anonymous touch issue.

I had the same problem with one I bought from Best Buy - took it out of the box and turned it on, and squeezing the top bezel caused the screen to go nuts and reboot the device. I just took it back and got another - it definitely looked like a manufacturing problem to me.

Colored dotted screen..

Entire Screen is color dotted I cant see anything rebooting the phone wont work taking out the battery wont work. Ive taken best care of this phone and had a case mate, never even dropped it on top of having a case mate, what seems to be the problem? Its very aggravating going to bed with a phone working waking up finding out that your phone wont ever display anything again, I had this problem 1 night before this happened the night before it happened for about 10 mintues so I ignored it got home from school took a nap, and its permanent. any ideas? thank you

Maybe it is dead or stuck pixels
I had an issue which was similar to yours a couple of months ago. Actually my phone fell and some black spots appeared on the screen. First I thought am screwed badly cause they kept on spreading all over the screen. But after I searched internet, I found some information on this topic. There are some softwares on play store which help to find and remove stuck pixels. But, in my case they weren't useful. So I searched more and found a thread on xda where a member with the same phone had the same issue. He kept his phone in the fridge everyday for a few hours and eventually the dead pixels came to life. I followed the same thing and my phone came to life in a matter of days. Thanks to him, now my phone is perfectly fine. If you have stuck pixels, then you can try those play store softwares. Just search dead pixel on play store and check what you need. Stuck pixels are colored dots on the screen and dead pixels are black dots on the screen.

[Q] nexus 5 switched off after trying lollipop ota

Hi, i'm new and know very little about how phones work. I clicked on the ota notice. It downloaded until the srceen lit up with the little coloured balls were swirling on the screen for about 20 seconds. The it went to a very dimly lit grey blank screen. I left it for about 10 mins but it just got hot. Then i started pressing the on button to turn it off. All i can get now is the grey screen. The alarm went off on it this morning so it is still working in some part. hope this makes sense.
Help needed please

ok. i'm getting notification noises through for twitter. notificatin lights flashing plus noise.
I had a new screen fit last week (copy i think) is it likely the screen has died on me?

Well, might be a stupid question but... Does the screen works ? I mean, do you have the black screen & google logo when you boot ? Or just the grey screen ?

All i get is a very very dim grey screen when i mess with the on off button.
Nothing on it at all.
The screen was playing up a bit a few days ago. Cost me £110 to get it fitted.
The original screen broke near the volume rocker.

Chances are high it's the screen then, especially if it was or has been playing up since you've had it replaced. Go back to the shop that fitted it and ask them to fix it at their cost.

So, this isn't the origal screen of your Nexus 5 ?
Well, it seems like an hardware issue if you've got the same grey screen when the phone boots..
Who did the reparation on the screen ? You ? Google/LG ? Or a store ?

I got it done at a local market store. he did say bring it back if i had any problems.
just seems a bit odd that it went on the update. It did get very hot though.
I'l take it in on saturday and see if they will have a look.
Anybody think i'l be covered for the screen being bad from a market store?
tx for the replies.

Well, you won't be covered by LG/Google waranty (unless your local store is regognized by LG and has authorizations to change screens without woiding the warranty, but i have some serious doubts here :/)
I don't think that the temperatures would have killed the screen but, you may not mention it to you local store (or they will probably say that the temps are the cause of the dead screen and charge you for a new one..)
Good luck

Screen randomly turns off but phone still on, backlight often stays on

Hey guys, i'll try to explain the situation as best i can below, hopefully someone can work out what is wrong.
My phone is about 16 months old. About 2 months ago i dropped it twice within the space of a couple weeks. There were a few cracks along the screen, however it wasn't very noticeable and i wasn't going to bother having it fixed. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when i went to grab it out of my pocket, however i found out the screen was black and it wouldn't turn on. I don't really know how to describe it but it was acting very strange...
- The screen would have white/gray bars all over it then turn off, then it would do the same with very thin vertical lines that were white/gray/other colours...
- When i get the screen on, it generally turns off again within 30 seconds, however it can stay on for a few minutes.
- If the screen is on and i press the lock button, it almost certainly won't come back on.
- Restarting the phone or holding the power and volume button nearly always gets the screen to come back on. It often then restarts but turns off again shortly after.
- The phone is otherwise still working when the screen goes off; the notification light stays on and i hear messages etc coming through
- The backlight often stays lit, revealing a gray screen opposed from total black. Sometimes it does not stay lit however.
- When the screen came on it was often unresponsive to touch
I had the screen replaced yesterday by a phone repair shop and the phone is still not right. I have factory reset the phone and also wiped the partition cache. Other than that it is still not working. IT seems to be working better... The screen always seems responsive to touch when it is on, and it doesn't seem to be turning off as often. It generally starts up and works fine when i start up by holding the power button and down volume button together... However even still it sometimes just flashes up with a few thick white/gray and black lines on the screen..
Does anyone know what can be causing this and how i can resolve it? If you need any more information please let me know and i will try provide it. I could try get some pictures of what the screen is doing when i finish work. Thanks guys, i appreciate any input.
EDIT: I managed to get a pic of what i mean by the thin vertical lines all over the screen. This just appeared when i tried to restart the phone after it the screen had once again stopped working. The imgur link is gIFMGD6

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, did you ever figure this problem out? My phone just started doing the same thing. Can't find much info about it.

Yeah, i had the screen fixed hoping it would fix it, however that didn't work. Turns out it was the motherboard, don't know what was wrong with it in particular other than it was simply going faulty. Had someone replace the motherboard on it for $50 and have had zero problems since! Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the response. I tried replacing the screen too with no luck. Unfortunately the same place that replaced the screen said it would cost $400 to replace the motherboard!!! The phone cost less than that so it looks like I'm gonna buy a new one.

[Completed] Nexus 5 screen problem

Hi,
I have this really weird stuff going on with my Nexus 5 screen. I cracked it a couple months ago and bought a legit replacement screen for it and installed it myself (glass, lcd and frame). I fixed it with good instructions and it worked properly for two months. However though, now when I take it out of a pocket and try to turn screen on, sometimes it just doesn't light up. It's still on and every button works but the screen doesn't turn on. I have to give it a light tap or two on the back in order to make it light up again. Same thing happens sometimes when I'm using the phone normally, the screen just goes black and goes on after tapping it couple of times. Otherwise the phone works normally like it did when I bought it two years ago and after running couple of tests with screen, everything seems to work from touch interface to the graphics card.
Tried looking it up, no results.
I've noticed that the front camera doesn't work for some reason (probably just broken) and the battery lasts in use only 2-4 hours which isn't that much of an issue since I'm looking for a new phone. I just want this one to last long enough till I buy a new one.
