So the sad sad day came when my niece dropped by my house, jumped on the couch, and broke my phone. No physical damage was down upon first glance, but as soon as I assessed I realized the LCD won't respond.
Phone was still on, and even functioned like normal, touch screen even worked. I could blindly answer calls. However, no display.
Took it to one of my tech savvy phone repair guys. Said it requires a new LCD. Cost me $400 bucks, and a month and a half of waiting for the part to arrive in Canada.
Arrived today, and my tech calls to say, with the replaced screen still no screen.
He reinstalled twice and checked all connections.
Any ideas or am I simply put SOL?
For this price, there is the frame too?
Is it exactly like before?

Yes, it is an original part, and includes the frame.
Both parts don't show a screen but turn on and function perfectly.

Several hypotheses:
The new part is defective (rare, but it happens).
Damage to a component during disassembly/assembly.
Other faulty components.
In this video, replacing the screen requires time and material.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I also figured there is some damage to other components, not due to installation because the symptoms are the same. Maybe due to it bending when she stepped on the phone. Oddly enough there's no physical damage.
The YouTube video there uses the same frame. That's a very tough fix. This came with screen and assembly. None of that work was necessary.
Of course, but personally given the price of the parts on this phone, I would have had an estimate made beforehand in an approved Xiaomi center.
I had the same case with an Honor, I replaced the screen for nothing, but given the price of the phone, direct trash.

Trust me I'm off the same mindset. Unfortunately here in Canada no such things exist.

Annoying indeed, the guy who changed the screen can't diagnose the problem?
Suppose the motherboard is the failure, screen + motherboard = not far from the price of the phone + labor?

I think it's a hardware issue or thermal issue idk, but mine has been blacking out lately and if I reboot to fastboot sometimes it starts working again, I tried the heating the battery up to no avail. I am also getting glitches on the screen like when you overclock the gpu too much so I think it's the gpu drivers/chipset and something with the power/transmission

Exactly. Too much cost. Also it's not exactly the whole motherboard as the phone is fully functional outside of the one issue that the screen is black. It's got to be a chipset defect.

Can't be thanks for mine as it's stable, and stays on. Thermally it would shut off the phone when overheating. Drivers/chipset is what I'm guessing also.

The problem is i bought a phone from ebay with this description
Beautiful HTC Sensation
perfect pristine screen. This unit comes with no battery and a small spot on water damage indicator but has never been submerged or dropped in water (i.e. toilet/pool/puddle). To be perfectly honest I think its from having the phone on the bathroom counter while showering. Otherwise I actually heard these can appear as "damaged" from simply being in someone's pocket because of sweat or atmospheric moisture.
This phone is sold by me as working without question, however in this case I am accepting returns if it does not function properly or you are not happy. Returns withing 5 days, buyer pays return shipping. I went to T-mobile and a Batterytown looking for a battery to keep this phone for myself but batteries are no longer available.

I used my battery from another sensation and the display doesnt light up. I can remotely make out that the screen shows the clock and everything but it is extremely dim. also the phone was heating up in 5 minutes
What is wrong should i return it?

Hi guys, I m new here. Recently, I dropped my phone and it was okay for the day...However, the next day, the screen has a little problem.
The sensitivity is cool, still the same. No crack whatsoever.
However, the screen sometimes become blurred/double image (as shown below) or completely went black.
With "luck", the screen would turn on. If not, it will stay black for most of the time.
I called the service center and was told that my phone was no longer under warranty. Thus, the repairing fee would be quite hefty according to the operator.
Guys, if I may ask, what's the problem with this? How can I solve this and how much would it costs? Would a factory reset be useful under such circumstances?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think a factory reset is going to do any good, it looks to me like a hardware fault. You can try replacing the display yourself, there are guides on YouTube. There are three different types of screens that went into this phone so you need to make sure you get the right one, I believe they're differentiated by colour coding on the connecting flat cable (you might want to check this). You'll need to disassemble the device to identify it. You'll want to get the screen + digitizer as separating the two without breaking either is almost impossible. From memory I think you can pick them up for under $100.

Too bad I have no idea how to fix it myself. The service center is charging me roughly $250-300 (after conversion of my currency)
Thanks tima. Do you happen to know what kind of screen i should get? I heard some screen leaves gap at the top of the phone.
As long as you match the screen to the one I'm your device it should be ok.

Hello XDA,
My Nexus 5 running CM12 5.0.2 nightly will not respond to the touches anymore infact when I press the power button to activate the display it acts as if someone is touching it randomly messing all the apps that are running and opening and closing many other things.
Furthermore it displays weird and burned lines throughout the screen. It was not dropped, no water went inside the device or anything. If it helps I did install the OTA updates that CM gives us.
I have also attached pictures so you may get a better understanding of my problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm I see. Well since a month HAS passed, its definetly not the rom thats causing the problem, i don't know if anything regarding the software could even be causing the problem. Its 100% hardware and by that i mean the screen, you should change it, the touch and also the display are messed up.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news - but your screen is toast. Fortunately you can replace the touch and display components all at once.
http://www.amazon.com/Skiliwah-Digitizer-Assembly-Google-nexus5/dp/B00HN0U168
Here is what you need to perform the repairs - and here are the procedures for disassembly.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Disassembling+Nexus+5+Display+Teardown+-+liquid+damage/32410
Trust me, it's not that difficult. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey ($60 for the screen and digitizer), nevertheless much cheaper than a new device or sending your device in for repairs.

Problem Solved
The screen isn't toast, neither is the digitizer. I have 2 of these phones. The parts which cause problems like this are the main board and the ribbon with the USB connector on it, which also attaches the screen & digitizer to the main board. One was showing lines exactly like this, & also no touch. I put a replacement main board in. Works great now. The other, wouldn't even turn on. I put the main board from the first phone in the second one, it still wouldn't turn on. I replaced the ribbon cable, it turns on and perfectly replicates the issue from the first phone. So now, I have one fully functioning LG Nexus 5, and another which turns on with the same problem as yours. This is good, I started out with 2 of them that were useless to me. So, it appears that your display and touch issues are caused solely by a bad main board. A replacement main board costs somewhere around $75. After swapping stuff around, I have 2 bad main boards, 1 bad USB ribbon & 1 working phone of 2. Not bad, not bad at all.
This is what my son's One Plus 7pro screen looked like one morning. No physical damage just unreadable display. I hooked up a HDMI cable to a monitor and it displays fine so it's not software. Touches are responsive and I have called customer support with no solution. I did a factory reset and it still had the issue so definitely not software related. Didn't use the phone for about three days and now it's working fine. Am I going to have this issue again? Anyone heard of this problem with a purple and greenish display?
Probably something wrong with the LCD or LCD cable
Looks like screen burn-in to me.

In that case it's probably a faulty ribbon cable or something similar, can't see much more from what info we have
(Also, do ask if he had left the display on for a long time, maybe overnight, on high brightness. If so, it's a burnt screen.)

Heya, I have the exact same issue with my One Plus 7t Pro. The screen looks exactly like that and is perfectly responsive (except the fingerprint reader can't recognise my finger) but unusable due to the discolouration. Did you ever discover what the issue was? Did you send it off for repair?

One Plus customer service said they would repair but I couldn't get a ticket created because I bought it through Sprint. Weird loop of going back and forth through both companies. I did a factory reset and the issue didn't fix but twice it fixed itself. The first didn't last too long before the problem came back. The second time it just fixed itself and has been working fine since. My son was sleeping with it at not listening to music and I think it was a heat issue. After factory resetting it and turning it off, I let it sit there for about a day then when I powered it back on, everything was fine. Has been working great ever since. I make sure he doesn't have it on his bed at night anymore. My guess is it's heat or too much pressure on the screen. No way of figuring it out. Not sure if that info will help you or not. I would contact one plus support.

Heya,
Thanks for getting back to me quickly. I also purchased through a third party, so I have contacted them regarding repairs. Did your son mention anything regarding water damage or was this not a concern? I'm feeling a little more confident that it is repairable, cause it looks pretty scary!
I thought about water damage he did have it in the bathroom while taking a hot shower.
Hello, yesterday I received my phone. For the first hour it was working fine. But later, when I locked the phone I couldn't enter my password or shut down because phone started touching random things by itself. Did a factory reset but after that I can't even setup the phone because it doing random things by itself. Tried to discharge the phone and leave it overnight. But the next day it was the same story. I even peeled of screen protector but no luck. I think it's not system related issue, might be that I got the faulty one with bad touchscreen? Has anyone had this issue?
Mine doesn't has any touch issues. Seems a manufacturing defect, better off exchanging/returning it.

The problem is that I bought it overseas and returning it back would take very long because of the corona I"m wondering what's the problem could be, touchscreen or something more serious like motherboard. If it only screen I might change it by myself
Return it under warranty. The second you open it that is gone and if the problem persists, then you are screwed...
Not only have you lost the purchase price of the phone but the cost of the replacement screen too which generally aren't cheap...

Yeah, I get it. Also, Xiaomi have international warranty or only local? Because would be great if it could be changed at my country. But as far as I know it has just local warranty from where it was bought or am I wrong?

from where is your phone region? it can happen from many possibilities. maybe from the kernel. You can try to flash using miflash according to the firmware region.
or try to enter stock recovery, is it random touch or not. (vol + & power)
new phone is still a warranty, it's good to go to a xiaomi service center
My case was, when the phone was brand new power button was stucked . But after using it few times, everything was fine. It didn't happen again

In my case it was faulty digitizer, after replacament everything is fine. I bought it overseas so no international warranty, but seller refunded me half the price. I went for the screen replacment and after that everything works fine.
