I dropped my gs6 and the screen cracked but the screen doesnt turn on.
The led indicator and soft button turns on but there is no life on the screen itself.
So does this mean that i only need to replace the screen or is there some internal damage like motherboard etc?
I thought if you crack your screen it does show you whats on the screen but you cant interract with it.
Sorry for my very bad english.
Thanks!
Should be broken only display, not motherboard etc but in the worst case can be also something like that. Try to do something on the phone when is supposedly turned on, for example change volume level or turn on the silence mode. If something will be happened for example some sound or vibration, then there is a chance...

I recently replaced the screen on my Inspire because the touch digitizer didn't work and the LCD back-light always remained on. I thought the problems were related but after replacing the screen (LCD and digitizer) the touch works but the back-light is always on. Even if I shut it down the normal way(hold screen lock select shutdown) it says on, the back-light not the phone. I have to pull out the battery or shut down through recovery. Does anyone know why this might happen or any way to turn off the screen back-light?
I also can't adjust the screen brightness it is always 100% and this is killing my battery.
I'm guessing their is no way to fix this but I thought I'd ask. Plus my Inspire like this is still 1000 times better than using my Motorola Flipside.
Edit : (Mod please move to Q&A)
My HTC Sensation wont turn on... properly.
When booting, i get a black screen. Around the edge of the screen i can see the backlight is on both when just on the battery as well as while plugged in, but i get nothing displayed, just ablack screen. It vibrates like normal when i power on, but nothing, black screen.
I do not belive this is software related however, because for all intents and purposes, the phone is booting just fine. However, nothing gets displayed to the screen.
For instance, when i call it from a different phone, it rings... and because i know where the buttons "should be" i swipe to answer the phone as i would normally, and it answers the phone, and i can hear and use the phone just fine. But again, NOTHING is displayed on the screen, i can only answer the phone, because my fingers know where to touch and slide to answer the phone.
Also, when i boot with VOLDOWN, i get nothing. So it doesnt appear to be a software issue, at least from what i can gather.
Im at a complete loss here, and really have no clue. I am very laman when it comes to hardware. I have opened it up (removed the tiny "void" sticker from a screw head, removed 6 screws, removed the lastic backplate (not the battery cover, the plastic plate that holds the battery), and just generally took a look at it. I really dont know what im doing here, so i havnt really done much further than this. Everything "LOOKS" okay, nothing seems out of place, broken, wires are all attached, it looks fine from what i can tell.
Theres no moisture, theres no residue, there what i couldnt consider excessive dirt or dust or debri (at least anything i wouldnt ocnsider normal after hivng the phone a year or whatever).... so im really at a loss here, and not sure what it could be.
Hoping maybe someone else ran into this problem and has had it resolved... but "search" and "google" hasnt turned anything up..Any help would be appreciate... Thank you in advance.
I just noticed, when i take the battery, an di simply make contact with the contacts, the backlight (the dim light around the edge of the screen, i assuming its the backlight) lights up. Pull the battery, nothing, toch the battery to the contacts, backlight turns on.... without ever pressing the phones power button or nothing. I do not remember this being the case before, and i would assume this would not be normal operation. With the phone not turned on at all (coming from a fresh battery pull), i just touch the battery to the contacts, or put the battery in, the phones backlight i wouldnt think, should come on and stay on like it is, no?
I had similar issue after my phone fell down face on. Had to replace the display unit to get resolved.
Hi! Two days ago, my phone dropped in water , i put them immediately in rice until today. When start it with the power button, i felt the vibration and i hear the open sound. But the screen remains black... but i discover that it was just the backlight because when i watch the screen under a lamp i can see the interface and slide between pages... but its very dark. Is it possible to change this backlight? or just wait few other days to allow time to dry fully. I welcome your suggestions! thanks

When there's water involved, IT's hard to know exactly what damaged. Could be just stain on the ribbon connectors, a burned fuse/diode/resistor (all of them micro sized) etc.. or just the LCD's backlight damaged entirely.
Keep it on rice for more time. I would make the battery to discharge to 0%, But it's also more recommended to keep the phone OFF. Only my friend LUCK knows.
To change the backlight, the whole screen needs to be changed.
Backlight died on me. Possible moisture.
First, it was on boot loop (on stock rom)
i went to restart it (holding power button and volume down)
then the screen turned bright white, restarted it and then the backlight died, dismantled the phone, now still in rice, also happened on 2nd April.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Took it apart down to the Screen (not the screen layers), left it in rice, works like a brand new now. Cheers.
I just replace all the frame and lcd for a new on my nexus 5, but the problem was still there... no backlight, i can see a little bit the screen, but it's very dark... do you have any idea for try to repair this, because now i don't think that it's the screen but more a motherboard or power problem for the backlight :S
exactly same problem here
nexus 5 phone dropped in water.
Backlight went out permanently - rice didn´t help.
Can see the display working using a flashlight - so rest of the phone seems to be working ok.
Just pruchased a new screen, put it all in and still the same problem: display works, touch works, backlight is off.
So it seems the backlight part of the display receives no power - anybody has an idea how to fix that?
thanks
I have answer to this!
I have had this problem like 3 months now and i finally fixed it.
Basically what i did was that i bought a broken nexus 5 (only the screen glass was broken) and tried to swap every part one by one. The one that was not working was the main dock!
It is a cheap fix, like 10£ on Ebay.
I am writing this post because anyone else haven't.
I hope that someone sees this.
I now copy this message to all other threads so people can fix their nexus 5's
PS:as you can probably tell English isn't my first language.
Hello! I am having the same problem. The cell phone fell to the floor and the next day the problem began. The display is not broken.
What are you taking about when you say "main dock"? Motherboard aka mainboard?
Thanks!
I just replaced the screen assembly on a Nexus 5 (had been dropped). However, the screen doesn't work at all. No backlight, no image. The rest of the phone works fine though. It boots up, vibrates, blinks, makes different notifications, even communicates with a computer.
Is this definitely a bad screen, or could it be something else? Nothing else looks damaged on the phone that I noticed while taking it apart. The broken screen also didn't work--I just assumed it had broken it's digitizer in the drop.

I would check all the connections inside. If those seem to be ok, then I'd take em all out and connect them again. If that doesn't work, I would go to a professional service for them to test the new screen, and even put it on for me.
Otherwise, you'd have to get a new screen.
Hi people, a dear friend of mine gave me his galaxy s7 still under warranty but with broken LCD, glass and probably touch panel. The screen was first cracked, then after a second hit a black sport started to expand until the whole screen was blackened.
He told me to back his data up, in order to put them in his new s7 edge.
Well, whatever I do the phone seems dead. No led when in charge, no vibration if I try to turn it on, no vibration when pressing the reset combination, no download mode, no recovery mode.
The phone is all stock with an untripped Knox.
I opened the back cover and the only connector that was loose was the front camera. Should I disassemble it and investigate further?
Is there any freakin way to turn it on at least in recovery or download mode? Is it possible that the screen is so messed up that the phone goes in some kind of protection mode?
