Hi guys,
I have replaced the screen in my nexus 5 twice now. I purchased the screens from Amazon. The first screen on white backgrounds I would kind of see a square image on the screen in white. It kind of looked like the outline of the battery. It also had a few white spots on the screen. I tried loosening some of the screws but it didn't help. I contacted the seller and he recommended another replacement. He sent out another screen plus digitizer and frame.
The new screen arrived and I put it in. This screen is a lit better. I know only get 3 tiny white spots about the size of the screws in the nexus 5. Two look like they are where the battery would be inside the phone. The third is about 3 quarters of the way up the screen in the middle and slightly to the left. Why does this keep happening? Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
One thing I have noticed is in the dark with the screen on around the sides of the phone in places I can see slivers of light shining around the screen. It seams that the tape that the screen provider used was not sticky enough. Could this be what is causing the white spots? The screen seams firmly attached at the top and bottom just the sides. I heated it up with a blow dryer and held the screen down till it cooled. It slowly goes back to the way it was.
Thanks,
Rocky
Light bleeding from the edges of the frame in a dark environment is not uncommon with 3rd party screens. Putting on a case can help a lot.
As for the white spots, it may be a manufacturing defect that has nothing to do with the way you assembled the phone.
So there is nothing that can be done about the white spots? I don't understand how both screens did this. Seams like there is a very high failure rate. From comparison and matching numbers s to the stock digitizer the replacement seams to be a stock digitizer and frame. The white spots are annoying.
It's possible that both screens came from the same production run. I used screens from aliexpress and only one had a bit of light bleed around the frame. Once I put on a case, you could not see the light bleed.
None of the replacement screens had any dead or stuck pixels or hot spots.

Hallo, 3 different transormer tried and all have screen under the screen and shining 7/8 white pixels on black background, with a kind of scratches on the lcd panel emitting white light on the black, and the black is not solid like other colours but it has vertical stripes on the screen with different graduation of black. Obviously in all 3 pieces was present a strong light bleeding. The best way to check it is with a free program from the market called lcd test or maybe pixel test, put black screen on it in a dark room. Dust is well visible also with screen off, they are small withe pieces.
Any similar experiences?
I returned my first Transformer for a dust particle under the glass but in front of the screen - bang in the middle on the display so very distracting. I initially thought it was dead pixels but at an angle you could see the reality quite easily.
Luckily was able to exchange it the next day (gogo Mikro Anvika customer service) as they'd just got another batch come in the door - second one is flawless. Not other display problems other than the slight light bleed at a couple of points on screen edges on a black backgrounds - no big deal.
I bought an HTC Evo 4G LTE on Friday along with a screen protector and a case. Anyway, I'm no good at putting on the screen protectors, so I asked the phone guy at best buy to put it on. Fast forward to this evening and I noticed what appeared to be 3 small specks of dust that got under the protector, with a larger one. As I was inspecting them, I found that they were actually tiny black circles (think speck of dust size or even dead pixel size). I'm going to be taking the phone back tomorrow for a replacement, but in the meantime, I'm curious what these are? I've done a lot of googling and the closest two pieces of information I've been able to find say they are either dead pixels because they are about the right size and show up best against a white background, or that they are moisture damage.
The question is, which seems most likely? Can dead pixels manifest themselves as circles rather than squares? And also could moisture damage be so minimal that only four little spots appeared? I should point out that the screen protector was the variety that uses a liquid sprayed on the phone to ensure a good clean overlay on the screen, and also that the salesperson used some blasts of compressed air directly on the screen to try and clean it before applying the protector (I've heard thats a big no-no).
I had a similar problem once with a no name chinese tab.
I noticed a bunch of black spots (square) the size of dead pixels all over the screen. I removed the protector and wiped the screen clean. It was tiny specks of dust indeed.
While blowing hot air onto the screen is a big NO-NO, IMO blowing compressed air wouldn't cause damage. Its the heat that damages the LCDs.
Curious how specks of dust would produce that effect, considering they are not uniformly shaped. Anyway, I've got my fingers crossed now that the problem really is dust rather than a bad screen, since I would hate to start this new phone off the same way I started my last one (returned for defective hardware / software 3 times in 3 months).
Thanks for the input and I'll be sure to post up the results tomorrow when I take the phone into the store. I've already discussed it with the store and since the salesperson was the one who installed the protector, if it turns out to be dust, they will replace the $25 protector free.
Turns out it was dust, or some other contamination, but it was UNDER the screen so that, while you could see them with the phone turned off, you couldn't get at them in any way. Home now with a replacement phone, but as my first experience with HTC, I'm not super impressed...
What's the best way to get rid of yellow spots? Will i just have to wait a couple of days in the hope the glue is completely dry? Or will i have to keep a white background on maximum brightness for a long period of time, or show some UV light/sunlight directly to the screen for a couple of hours? Or will i have to open the screen again, but what would i need to be looking and doing then exactly?
When you put the phone in the freezer for 15 minutes the spots are almost gone, but they reappear after the display gets warmer. I don't think dryer would have any benefit here, or will it?
If you use white background, the spots are visible like burning-like, when you use pitch black background you see this "black eating" effect on the corners strongly that wasn't as noticeable before the screen swap. The display itself is OEM original, and the first swap was successful, didn't result in any yellow spots.
I read that it was a common thing for iPhone 4s back in the days as the glue wasn't dry enough from the assembly line, but after a couple of days the spots went away.
it looks like this:

Thanks!
I dropped my phone, It fell out of my pocket in the gym today.
Now there is a red spot visible on the middle right screen link. I also noticed some light bleed from the left side. Can I fix this myself somehow?
I find it weird because the screen glass is in good condition, could the screen itself be permanently damaged?
It's pity as I still love this phone, and now it's damaged..
Thanks in advance
Yes, the top glass could be perfectly intact while screen beneath is damaged. I have seen this many times on Samsung phones that have been dropped.
Can't really either screen issue unless you replace the LCD.
The first time I dropped my Mi Mix I had replaced the screen from vopmart; however, I wasn't happy with the quality of it. I received a screen with frame and it had bad light deformities (light bleed on edges, inconsistent lighting on the screen itself, scratch on middle of screen) and the frame glued to the screen was uneven.
Well... I dropped my phone again and I get to put another screen on it. This time, I bought the screen from eBay with a coupon. The screen ended up costing me around $30 USD. Not bad! The screen came in and I tested it and it's perfect (no dead pixels, no deformities, consistent lighting). Only problem is the frame is not attached to the display. I have spare frames that I can glue to my new lcd; however, not sure which glue is best to use. E6000, B7000, or T7000? I was thinking of using T7000 since it's black and would help prevent light bleeding. I'm open to suggestions.
What glue do you guys recommend?
