Recently I acquired an xperia z3. They told me the screen and the back was changed. As I power on the phone I noticed that volume down button doesn't works, so I cant flash anything. When you power on the phone the screen works correctly, when its on for 30 min, it starts to go crazy, firstly you are unable to access to the notification panel. I make a touch screen test and the top is unusable. Then it becomes much more crazy because the notification panel comes down and begins ghost touches at the top.
I have done many hard resets.
The flex buttons is no problem as it is not expensive, but don't want to change the screen and have the same problem....
Do you think this screen is wrong o maybe the problem is in the main board?
Contact the guy that sold you the phone and ask for who sold/repaired the screen, the digitizer assembly is defective. It sometimes happens to certain panels. It has to be replaced (if you live in Europe the item have 2 years of warranty)

The guy that sold me doesn't answer me... so I going to try to repair it. But I wasn't sure if it was going to be the digitizer or another problem...I was thinking to change only the digitizer but not sure for the moment.
Thank you!
If you open the phone, you should see the buttons on the left, but you have to take a few things first, you may find the replacement part online for a few euros
For the digitizer, well, you should be able to find one for around 40-60 check the reviews to know something about the quality and always test it before applying the adhesive as some sellers do not offer warranty after it has been installed

I think that you somehow ( by pressing power button as you mentioned) broke the display :/ so the only solution is to change the display by yourself or samsung custom service but i hope that im wrong!

If your screen turns out to be really broken, don't be afraid of switching it yourself.
Just don't make the same mistake I made (twice). Buy the new display from a store that's specialised in mobile spareparts, not from ebay. If the display doesn't look exactly like the one you took out of your phone, send it back. I had a bent and scratched one and one that had lower resolution and no brightness control. Insane, who hopes to make profit from that?

thanks for trying to help turboblaz,but i have already disassembled the handset and inspected it from all sides, there is no bleeding ,crack or scratch of any kind on it and moreover the placement of the power button is such that it wont harm the display even if its pressed with a moderate to hard pressure.

thanks martialaw ,yeah i know hw to dissamble this handset ,actually i hve done it twice before, once for replacing the menu key button and the other time for replacing the audio jack. moreover i know a good shop which sells good mobile spare parts
i had checked it with the service centre , the price of the audio jack there was 650 inr along with the replacement so i bought it from that spare shop ,it costed meh around 150 inr n works perfectly fine even after 6 months. So im guessing that the price of the lcd display at the service centre would be around 1500 inr and at the local market it would be around 500 inr,but i am just worried about its contrast and brightness as u mentioned and moreover what if the display is fine and the problem is with the board or other things.

sounds familiar. I spent 1200 inr on ebay, twice, both crap. Then 2100 inr in a proper shop, which finally looked like the original part on the circuit area. Dunno if those prices can be compared, I converted them from Euros for you. Go for a original part and try to keep the option to give it back if it turns out the error lies within another component. gl&hf
Hi there. I have a pebble blue16gb S3 that's currently on the fritz. Some people are recommending a jtag service to force a stock rom back onto my s3. I've got others that are telling me my emmc chip is probably bad and that a jtag probably won't help my issue at all. Anyway, I've been cruising craigslist and I found a 16gb pebble blue s3 that has a cracked screen. In the pictures I was sent the crack is right down the middle. The guy selling it says the LCD display wont show up at all, but in some pictures the back button and the other button light up as well as the blue notification light on top were working in the picture. He's selling the device for $90. I checked the IMEI he gave me on swappa.com/ESN and its said its ready for activation. I asked the craigslist seller how the device was damaged and he said he got into a car accident going 60mph and he was hit by a drunk driver and the phone hit the dash. I have a buddy of mine who is willing to take the motherboard from this phone and switch it out with my phone, but he expressed concern that the fact the LCD won't display anything and he thinks the motherboard may have suffered some kind of damage in the crash causing the device not to display. He also noted that he has seen phones with cracks all over and the lcd still displays something. Can anyone shed some light as to how much impact a Verizon SIII motherboard can absorb and if its possible for the screen to totally not work, but the board itself be fine? Thank you very much!
Im not sure if this was the right thread to post this question either, but I hope it is. Thanks!
Also just wondering, is the notification light at the top and the lighted back button and the function button by home at the bottom run through the same connection that controls the display?

I repair these devices and I'll say that you should just stay away from an S3 with a blacked out LCD. The repair for the LCD is about $300. Just a cracked glass may run you anywhere from $80-$150 for repair. The motherboard could be damaged, but there is really no way to tell unless the screen is on. I doubt it would be broken, though... I would look at it to see if the metal frame around the screen were bent or warped. If not, I doubt it would be. If the soft keys light up, you should also hear the volume turn up.... this checks to see if the speaker works.
But with a busted LCD... too much cost to fix that and not worth it. May as well buy a new one.

So should I just pass on this craigslist phone? All I wanted was the board from it and switch it out with my motherboard that is on the fritz.
It started out simple. At first, the screen would cut off when I closed the keyboard sometimes...and then all the time. Next, the touch screen stopped working. Afterwards, the screen would freeze occasionally. Now, I can't see the screen at all.
I'm not ready to give up on this phone yet. I'm just not sure if it's a digitizer and sensor, or the flex cable issue. Does anybody have a clue?
90% need a new flex, be sure to get one with the speaker soldered on to make life easier and take your time reading before disassembly, lots o sticky stuff there

If both the LCD and digitizer are having problems (with no signs of external or water damage), I'd suspect the flex cable as well.
Thanks!
I thought so, but I was in denial. I've only ever replaced digitizers, so I was hoping I just had to do something like that again.
By the way demkantor, what's the other 10%?
9% digitizer going bad and then soon after LCD, 1% software/firmware issue 90% get a new flex. So if it were me id buy the flex, or at least open it up and have a peek around

Changed my flex two times by now, first time lcd showed color noise, second time touch died.
First time there were rips on the flex, second time - nothing particular.

My MT4GS has just gone blank after 3 years of continuous use. Screen went random colour pattern, then totally black, though phone is still working fine behind it.
I've done a search, but places like http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-mytouch-4g-slide.html suggest there are two - a motherboard flex and a slide rail flex that look very similar but are two different prices. I'm a long way from USA, so spares take a long time to ship and are expensive.Can anyone recommend a supplier/specification so I get the right one? Help much appreciated. Thanks.
In the link you sent those are one in the same, can't say why the prices differ but one may have speaker and one not, I'm on mobile so its hard to zoom in and tell.
As for supplier I'm in the us and have just purchased from random eBay people before so I can't say what's best for you
Also note it is possible you're LCD is bad (but bless likely the cause) if you are to get one of these know which one you have first (there are a couple out there and aren't interchangeable)

Thanks - reading other posts on other threads (inlcuding one guy who posted a picture of exactly the last thing I saw on my screen before it went black (-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092608)) seems to point to the flex. That post also has a link to an ebay sale, but the picture has been taken down so I've only got the name to go on. And of course that doesn't match what I can but other places so I'm just guessing at the moment..
Is it the main motherboard flex? Perhaps I'll have to strip the phone at the weekend and see if I can work it out... Oh well, another thing to add to the To-Do list. No wait, that's on my phone and I can't get at it!
Hi guys, perhaps you might have noticed the screen on my old N5 is slightly worse for wear.
I've decided to either fix it myself or get a pro to do it (I have never had to take a phone apart or replace any hardware)
Judging by the pictures do you think I will need to replace all, LCD, digitizer and frame? Would you recommend DIY or sending it into a shop?
I would send it back to LG however I have media on it I would like to keep but have a lockscreen (which I can't interact with) so am unable to recover files.
Thanks for any help! :fingers-crossed:
the hell u did to it? did u grab a hammer and started swinging at it
Your going to need to do all 3 done..unless you dont mind the scratched frame.
I would get it done in a shop unless you have done it your self.
I have done a few glass and digitizer fixes but i tell ya aint worth the time unless you only broke it in one day and want to fix it.

I've seen those pictures months ago floating around the Web. I smell troll.
from my experience i think LCD + Digitizer + side panels come as a single piece... my lcd had a violet shade near the app drawer icon( only visible in full brightness) as i had warranty i changed free of cost... the person in the shop told with out warranty it would cost about 9500 INR(about 160$) he changedlcd + digitizer + side panels of my N5

Unfortunately I am not trolling. I have a Galaxy S 5 now but would like the Nexus as a spare. If I go to a music festival or something where I'm more likely to lose it or break it.

That's not too bad at all, I'm in the UK though and everything costs a bomb.
I'll call LG in the morning when they open and let you guys know how much it'll cost! I'm assuming around £120.

LG do it for £155 ($265!!??) and will wipe the phone which is no good for me!
I have found a 3rd party phone shop in Edinburgh which will replace the screen with 90 days warranty for £120 and no wipe.
Cheers for your help
I picked up a used LG G2 from Ebay. The phone is in somewhat great shape and is functional except for the top portion of the digitizer. About an inch, give or take, at the top is unresponsive to touch. I just wanted some input on how common digitizer damage is on this phone. I know most phones these days are very delicate and the digitizers and LCD's can be damaged quite easily. There is a good knick at the top of the phone so I am guessing it had been dropped at one point.
I paid $150 for the phone and I can pick up the LCD, digitizer, and mid body assembly for $65 on Ebay. Just have to slap the internals in the new mid body, throw the back cover on, and done. Phone is good as new. But I don't want to make that investment IF by some chance the problem isn't the digitizer but rather something wonky with the main board. The more input the better. Thanks guys.
It's the digitizer, I sent mine in for the same thing.. Dunno how much it cost tho cause I had warranty. Hope it goes well replacing it

Thanks MaestriFC. While I was waiting on a response for this, I noticed the phone decide to go quirky on me. I looked it up and found on XDA this is a common problem? Phantom touches, etc.? I seen a couple people say it is still the LCD and digitizer causing these issues and replacing them fixed it.
Well I dropped my phone on tile with no case so I don't think it's a common issue (unless everyone is dropping them) but from what I read the digitizer was loose so you would have to open the phone and connect it, or get it serviced, I don't remember getting Phantom touches though..

Yeah. I read on another forum about it and found links to these problems here on XDA. Apparently, this phone going spaztic is a very common thing. Which still hasn't been traced down to any one specific thing. Most are having LG replace their phones just to get another one doing the very same things. I am going to order the new LCD and digitizer though. Hopefully it fixes the issues. Maybe LG got a batch of faulty digitizers or something....lol...here's to hoping.
Make sure you do your research on replacing haha wouldn't want anything else messed up... In my opinion you should just try to connect it properly and see if that works, that's if you're going to open it anyways of course, could save some money.. Good luck :thumbup:

I tried that. I opened it up, and from what I could tell the phone has never been opened. The screws were tight and came out with some black stuff on the threads. That's USUALLY a sign the phone has never been opened. I reseated the top and bottom connectors for the digitizer. The one on top and the one on bottom, I didn't reseat the other one at the bottom though. But I figured that one was for the bottom portion of the digitizer anyway. Which is working. When the phone starts up, every now and again, the "LG" screen will just flicker then boot up. But most times the "LG" screen shows as normal when booting up.
I did also find out from normal calling that the microphone for speaker phone isn't working properly. Normal headset works just fine. But when I switch it to speaker phone people can barely hear me. But that microphone costs like 8 bucks to change so no big deal. I have checked out many youtube vids on fixing this phone. It can be challenging to have to remove everything but I have found just buying the LCD and digitizer already mounted to a new mid body is the easiest way to go.
So the repeating the digitizer didn't work? I would buy the two together as it would be a lot easier than separating the two.. Might just be you had a faulty one after all

I haven't replaced it yet MaestriFC. I will report back in a couple weeks though when I do get the new screen in and get it all replaced. What didn't work was opening her up and re seating the cables. I thought maybe something could have been or come loose but that wasn't the case.
Just an update guys. I got the whole LCD and Digitizer replaced last night. It's only been a few hours but so far everything is great. No more glitching out. As a matter of fact, I had no choice but power the phone down last week. That's how bad the glitching out got. My phone was totally unusable. But now with the new screen, it's working great. If it stays working great then we can assume the problems with this phone are the cause of bad digitizers.
