Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and to solving technical problems in general, so thank you very much in advance for helping me out with your suggestions on this one.
I noticed a transparent crack on my screen, and everyday started to expand almost like a leacking fluid, making smaller "cracks" on the way and expanding them further in time. I don't know how this incident happened, but it doesn't affect at all the touchscreen functionality in that area, but it just looks bad, like a crack (but is not).
Did anyone had a similar problem and can tell me what is it and some suggestions on how to solve it, please? I truly don't have any clue from where to start. Please check the photos attached!

Looks like the glass and digitizer are separating, replacing the glass should fix it. Or the digitizer itself is separating, replacing the digitizer will fix that.

That is the glue that keeps the touch glued with the screen, that could happend becouse of a bad glue or maybe humidity?
Also heat can affect the glue too.

I had to replace the digitizer since it was cracked from a drop. It works great however now the top half of the LCD screen is messed up, it has banding. I was just wondering if anyone ever experienced this with anything before and if it is a damaged LCD or just a connection issue. I'll be taking it apart again and messing with the ribbon cable, I was just curious if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks!

I had that exact issue with my ipod touch. Your LCD is bad bro, if its anything like replacing an ipod touch LCD, youll be fine,search youtube for installment videos.

Yeah replacing the LCD is basically the same as digitizer replacement which I just did so I should be good there. I think I flexed it too much when prying it from the metal casing. Oh well.
Thanks for the input!
Sorry to resurect this old thread, but I've got this problem, too. The thing is, it's a coworker's phone and they asked me to help them replace their digitizer. OK, so they bought a new digitizer and I replaced it. I was extremely careful and don't think I flexed the LCD too much, but now when I power it on, I get the same banding that you posted.
Is it possible that the banding could be from a bad digitizer?? Or possibly something else? I'd really hate to ask this person to spend another $40 on a new LCD if they don't have to.
Ugh, that's why I kick myself for helping other people sometimes! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
hi folks,

I remember i saw some replacement on brandoshop, but you're better off sending it for repair, disassembly of a modern phone isn't complicated nowadays, but reassembly is a real pain, i can assure you...
i wonder how much it would cost to get a new front casing?
Take a look at this. There are others a lot more expensive, and HTC do one for about £40. I've seen them going for on average £20 but the one on the link is the cheapest I've seen.
I just replaced the housing, digitizer and buttons on mine.. to all black.
Looks like a totally different phone.

Not difficult at all to disassemble and reassemble {Look on uTube for HTC Desire Assembly/Dis-assembly videos].
cool, might give that a go!
Really nice man. Good job

I recently dropped my Xoom (in a case onto a carpeted floor). It semeed to survive but now the display shows distorted colors like the sample attached. I thought it might be a loose connection but I can be working away and the screen will revert to normal and stay that way for days.
And I can suspend it while it's okay, come back to it and the display is corrupt again.
Can anybody work out what could be going on? I would prefer not to have to replace the screen but I don't really know if that is the issue if it reverts back to normal all the time.
Thanks

The screenshots look fine to me, how about upload the images of your LCD screen not screenshots.

Silly me. The screen shots look distorted to me also because I was posting on the device!
Yeah looks like a loose connector to me. You may be able to fix it if it was a soldering joint. I guess the repair can do the same thing.
I dropped my tablet recently and the screen got screwed like yours, but mine is worse. I don't know too much about hardware, but I think that it's the crystal that broke, so it may be hard to fix :/. Anyway, if you get it back working I hope you to share some info with me, as well I will do if I get working .
Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can help? Basically, I got into a car accident and my phone was damaged. The image is reversed and the touch screen is somewhat insensitive.

The red streaks is just from the flash. Anyone experienced the same? Should I repair it or just give it up and buy a new one?
Thanks for your help.
Similar problem
I have similar problem. Touch in N5 was insentensive too and today something happened. I have Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case, so I think it shouldn't be problem, that my N5 fell from 1m high. Or maybe it is a problem? Now screen doesn't work, it only highlights a bit when it should display something. Touch doesn't work too, of course. I know that my N5 is still alive, because of vibrations and LED. I can hard reset my phone with 10s pressing power button, but I can only feel vibrations and a bit grey not dark screen.
Is my screen damaged? Or only software? I hope it's only the software, because I would prefer to do it myself, not to call RMA.
Does anyone know any way to control my phone via PC? Connected by USB or Wifi (I have remembered WiFi).
Sorry for my language (grammar etc.), I'm not American or British.
Dropping your phone will not damage software. You can access your phone via fastboot. I don't think it'll help. Your best bet is to send it in for repairs.
I've had car insurance cover a new laptop that damaged in a crash before. I live in Florida in the US though. Maybe its worth a shot for you too?

Hi guys
I am really having some trouble loving my S10e. The phone would be great - if it wasn't for the screen. The glass is simply glued on the front and thus sticks out by 0.75mm. The corners are not rounded but quite sharp. When I put the phone to my ear, the sharp end scratches my ear and it feels uncomfortable. On top of that, with the glass being exposed like that, it obviously lead to it cracking within the first 3 weeks (see

).
Is this the same for all S10e? I have searched the Internet for any reviews or complaints mentioning this issue, to no avail. I simply can't believe that this is normal (I have never seen a phone with the glass glued on like that).
Cheers,

This sounds like a faulty handset to me. You'll need to see if you can get it replaced under warranty.
Unfortunately as with all Android phones, this will mean sending your current handset off somewhere and waiting up to 2 weeks to have it inspected, repaired or replaced. You'll need to make sure you have a spare handset lying around. This is one of the things I hate about Androids compared to iPhones. Maybe try putting on a case to see if it helps?
If you had an iPhone, you'll have been able to book an appointment and have your iPhone replaced the same day.
Hey Wutang, thanks a lot for your reply! And all along I thought the glass being glued on like that was (a little silly but) normal for the S10e. I have contacted Samsung again, so I guess we will see.
