Lastnight, Me and Wife were looking at Negative Films that were never develop and they were taken way way back before she was baby, grade school to high school. It was fun, though you’re looking at the pictures in inverted colors so it was bit of ..
So after that, I thought of something doing what I have thought before, scanning the negative pictures on a flat bed scanner but sadly after scanning, and inverted the colors in Corel, all we can see is cyan and white colors and barely can see that picture. I tried putting the negative film in front of my LCD screen and I thought, “yeah, why not add a little backlight?” hehe, so I scanned the negative film again pressed with my HTC Touch ELFIN with backlight on and the brightness were set to maximum. After scanning, it was awesome! though am not sure why it turned in grayscale but that’s fine at least we saw something and the image were very clear! Though bit of worried in my Canon Pixma MP198 – Lamp!, because everytime she want to look at something, of course I have to do a re-scan.

cost? PRICELESS!! ^^

An Idea to Increase LED Brightness

I would like to increase the brightness of the LED button backlights. I noticed that there appears to be some sort of material between the LED and the plastic outer case. It looks like a yellow/beige material with miniature holes when the buttons are lit up.
I wonder if upon opening the case if this material could be cleaned/removed so that the LED would appear brighter.
Has anyone opened their Captivate and looked to see if there is some sort of removable material or paint between the LED and the case? I wanted to see if anyone else had explored this possibility before I attempt to open up my Captivate.
Although this tear-down thread is quite helpful, it doesn't show the portion of the phone where the buttons are located:

There does seem to be something blocking them, tear yours apart and find out!
Replacement screens can be found on ebay for $60-90.

Infuse UFO cam :cyclops:
Given the pattern it looks like something on the lens, maybe inside the housing. Try blowing some compressed air in and around the area, see if it moves or goes away.

Lol 2 UFO's! Oh snapp
One is getting closer!

joking aside, you may have some lint or on your camera len, inside or out
this shows you how to take it apart to see if you can clean it from inside

Thanks to the video qk posted above you can prolly get the dust/lint or whatever it is out of the way... not sure how you are going to remove that red circle... :silly:

[Q] Weird red/blue/green faded areas on screen on black background (not dead pixels)

Hey everyone! I have a bit of an issue with my nexus 5. Recently a small area (about .5cm by .5cm) has had a faded red circle with two slightly smaller faded circles (one green and one blue) beside it appear on any black/dark background. Its definitely a hardware issue, as I've tested for the problem with several different apps/pictures. It doesn't make the phone unusable, but it is very annoying when viewing a dark image or video. Similar red areas are present in the lower left corner of my n7 2013 but they are very dim and I hardly ever notice them. They look like this:

I can get a better picture if necessary, but this is pretty much what it looks like.
I tried searching for others with the problem, but all I could find were hundreds of posts about dead pixels. Does anyone know what this is? Is there anything I can do short of buying a new LCD? Thanks.

Big Green Spot on back of OnePlus one 64GB {Black}

There is a big green spot on the back of OnePlus One 64GB {black}
I dont know how did it got there.
I want to remove it but i cannot.
I have tried removing it using ACETONE, but was unsuccessful.

Otherwise it fades away.
Please can anyone help to remove it ?

Seems like a stain to me. It looks like some kind of ink perhaps from a highlighter or a permanent marker. TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK: Try using a drop of hand-sanitizer that contains a form of alcohol. Rub thoroughly and wipe off.
