My screen is cracked since few mounths. After the drop the touch screen didn't work for half of the screen, the half, in orhizzontal, where the screen is cracked. Tonight I tried here (Sony eSupport - Electronics - Drivers & Software) panel calibration tool, now the touch screen works everywhere and now it's the situazion is worst then before. The cracked screen press itself and I can't use the tablet. Now I disabled touch screen in device manager, but my SP3 without touch is very sad I want to ask if there is the possibility to disable only part of the touch screen, the screen is cracked only for a few cm, I could use it completely even without that portion of the screen. Thanks.
I doubt you woudl be able to disable part of it, it would be a case of just disabling it full stop as it'll get worse..
I've come up with a problem that has perplexed me on my Galaxy J700T. I've looked everywhere for solutions, but none have worked.
The phone's screen will go dark after it boots, but will show the lock screen for a split second. The screen will sometimes flicker back to life for a moment, but then go back out. This can happen a few times. Sometimes it will go back to the same screen, but sometimes it will show the lock screen. Sometimes it will show the lock screen on a flicker, but then go back to whatever normal screen or app it was on before, when I hadn't unlocked it. This only happens when it was on that screen previously though It sort of Flashes the lock screen I suppose you could say. The phone's screen seems to be unresponsive when it's black.
I'll start with what I know:
It isn't solely a hardware issue - The screen does turn on when you first turn on the phone. It shows the boot process. You can boot it into Download mode and the screen will stay on. You can also boot it into Recovery mode and there will be no problems with the screen. The phone can boot normally and the phone will show the whole process. The problem is post boot so I find it hard to believe it's solely a hardware issue, otherwise I should have these problems in the other modes too.
The screen isn't always off - I've managed to actually catch my phone displaying messages at the bottom of the screen for a split second. One such being that it has connected to the internet. This will show for a split second, while the rest of the screen is still dark. The screen appears to otherwise be dark with no light, looking as if it is off.
I've looked into this black screen of death issue I've heard about. I'm not sure if this is it. I've never had the issue before with any other android device I've had. It doesn't seem like it when I look at descriptions of the problem.
I have put the phone through Factory Reset, which hasn't worked in stopping the problem. As soon as the welcome screen shows up to set up my phone, it will go black again. I cleared the cache. I Cleared all data and reset it. Rebooted it in different ways. I did root it.
Would anyone here happen to know what's going on or have any possible solutions?
Greetings.
I've recently been struggling with a problem with my Galaxy S6 and I've searched far and wide on the interwebs for a solution, with no avail.
You see, whenever I turn my phone on, or wake it up from the lock screen, the screen flickers one or two times, but doesn't always turn on.
They keys are active, touchscreen is active, but no image.
Sometimes I have to try and unlock my screen two or three times to get an image, sometimes it turns on after the first flicker.
An example of what I am experiencing is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyiDgpUSkaE
[edit] Another example is this: when switching the display brightness, the screen goes to crap and starts flickering like crazy, and at minimum brightness text goes unreadable and small (video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIMFaCy_KVY
I am not rooted, everything is stock FW, I had android 6 stock and recently upgraded to 7 stock OTA and the same issue persists.
I cannot access download mode or recovery because the screen won't turn on. Only time it turns on is when Android is booted. Even when booting, the blue led flashes because the device is booting but I have no image.
Please contribute with some ideas, I cannot wipe cache from recovery because I can't see anything even if I try to boot recovery (or download).
Thank you in advance!
Did you resolve this issue? If so, how? Mine started to do the same after a short fall. My initial thought was hardware but I can get into recovery and the screen functions just fine there.
It is the second time this happened. Last time it fixed itself after half an hour.
The screen is always pitch black and the device stays warm.
Most of the time it is boot looping with a black screen, the 5G led on the back keeps blinking in different colours. When connected to a PC, in Device Manager I can see two "LG-V500N", then it disappears after a minute, and comes back, repeat.
Sometimes the device boots and stay booted with a black screen, I can tell the device is on because it is listed in "adb devices". Unfortunately I don't have any authorized device to connect to it via adb.
I am not sure what I can try, I have pressed and hold power + vol down many times but the screen remains black.
I also have trouble switching off the device, it seems to either stay on or boot loop.
After letting it rest for a few hours, switching it on shows this screen, with a white/gray line at the top of the screen, and after 5 seconds it switches itself off again.

Get into download mode by powering off the phone and pressing volume up while having it plugged into a PC. Then find a guide to flash a kdz lgup. You will probably lose data or have already lost it

It seems the phone will not stay in download mode for more than 5 seconds, it powers off after showing the big download mode screen for 5 seconds.
I will try to leave my phone on the charger for some time and then try again.

I managed to get the device to enter and stay in download mode, however the screen stays pitch black and I am not sure if I should continue flashing.
Would you go ahead and flash it if you were me?
The device is currently on Pie, I will probably try flashing a Pie KDZ first, before an Android 10 KDZ.
Sometimes there is a brief moment where the screen comes on, that's when the LG V50 logo shows before entering download mode.
Did an UPGRADE with V500N11r_00_KT_KR_OP_1017.kdz, which should be the same firmware that the device is already on, it flashed successfully, didn't seem to help, screen remains pitch black.
Did a REFURBISH with the same kdz, didn't seem to help either.
The phone seems to continue to boot loop after the REFURBISH flash. When connected to PC, LG-V500N shows up and then disappears repeatedly. Sometimes I can hear a sound effect being played from the phone, sounds like it has booted and the sound probably came from the initial setup screen.
Seems the phone has stopped boot looping, it is on the initial setup screen. The screen remains pitch black but it responds to touch.
Not sure where I can go from here.
Edited:
The screen has come on briefly once for a few seconds, it is on the initial setup screen. I only had time to switch the language to English, then the screen went black and the device seem to have crashed (no longer makes sound or vibrate as I randomly tap on the screen)

I think it's some faulty hardware at this point. You've tried everything possible as of now.

Hi! I bought an LG V50 and exactly the same things you described happens to me, the screen starts, it shows the logo, but then it goes completely black, but phone starts, sounds are heard and the touch screen work. But not image, screen is black. Could you find out what hardware defect it is? It's the display module, or will it be the motherboard? Thanks
Nope, I have sold the phone as parts.

I got a samsung Note 10 doing this! Took it to local shop! he sprayed some liquid near the proximity sensor area and I saw my phones screen came back to life ;while hiding it he was Telling me if he can repair the screen without changing it he"ll need 20$.. I laughed and told him not interested to repair....
Yesterday me Google Pixel 4a's screen went black, the screen was partly broken but it was working fine, now it just went black.
The power is on as I'm able to receive notifications and calls but the screen stays black. I tried to reboot it but doesn't work.
I suppose it is a hardware problem since the screen was broken but it is possible that I can use an external device as a screen just to get my data (or is there any software that can download the data from phone?)
Also it is possible to set up a new phone with the old one in this condition since fixing the screen is too expensive (~140€) and I'd rather buy a Pixel 6a
