hi guys..
so i dropped my phone, and the screen became yellowish and had blue stripes ect..
So i read in here that you could just disassemble your phone and check the cord.. So i took the cover off, and the screen off.. And then there is that connection that you need to remove before you can open it completely.. And well, i didnt know how to remove it, i thought it went upwards, instead of sideways, but it seems like the connection was glued i places i dont know.. anyway it got ripped off, yet, not completely, (a white little cord is still attached to the motherboard).. Yet, now there is no audio, my volume buttons still dont work, the LED light for recharging doesent work, there camera doesent work.. ect..
How can i fix this?, it seems like there is no connection between the cord an the motherboard, what should i do..thank you.

Tmobile UK HD2 with Cracked Dig/LCD, so I took it apart and bought a new lcd/dig. Put phone back together and I have a few problems.
Firstly to get the phone to turn on I have to plug in the mains charger, and then insert the battery. On doing this the phone powers up without me pressing the power button.
Screen light turns on but nothing on the screen. No button lights either.
I know the phone is on as I can use the vol up and down and the sounds are there.
I presume the phone works as the green light flashes to indicate I have a message etc.
Ive re-checked all connections and all are sound.
Only thing I cant check is the LCD itself.
Send the screen back ?
Anyone got an idea what could be wrong ?
anyone help with this as I am without my phone on NAND DAY !!!
Further info: Phone defo working as I can flash Stock Roms to it no prob. Also syncs to my PC. Saw that the black bar than pushes down to hold the LCD ribbon in place has broken, but unsure if this is to secure the ribbon or does it make the connection ?

Hmm, it's possible it helps to make the connection... When you pull it it should secure the cable and at the same time make the connection better.. Try improvising, do something to hold the thing tight there.
Hi everyone.
I dropped my phone today, and the screen broke.
The phone still seems to work properly, but the classic signs of a broken LCD are present: purple screen with many many lines and nothing legible.
I have ordered a replacement screen already, but I cannot get the phone to shut down and stay turned off.
Since the screen is broken internally, it does not respond to my touch.
I can hold down the power button for 15 seconds but that does a reset, and the phone automatically turns back on.
Is there anyway to keep the phone off other than by draining the battery completely?
I need to keep it powered down so that I can disassemble it safely.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't know of any way, but as long as you are careful while disassembling you should be fine. You should be able to pry the screen out enough that you can disconnect the battery before disconnecting the screen. I doubt disconnecting the screen with the phone on would damage anything anyway. I believe people do this iPhone screens all the time to test them.
Hello,
I've got an HTC Amaze that's been rooted, but done fine for a few weeks/months, at first it's battery seemed to be the problem, and after replacing it things were normal. Now, the phone doesn't seem to respond or give any sign of life until its plugged in, and the only thing that changes is that the orange light glows. When unplugged the light remains on, but the screen is always dark, yet each of the buttons on the touch screen's face (home, settings, back, search) make the phone rumble when touched and I can access all the files from my laptop. It's functioning, I just can't see anything, no water damage, and no recent falls before it went dark.
It's not a bad usb, but can someone help me fix it?
Hi there, XDA folks!
Mario here with some phone problems..
I have a CDMA Evo 3D running on the stock ROM.
The phone's charging cable was shorting out ever since I bought it (got it 2nd hand). I had to wiggle it in order to get the phone charging.
I gave it to my girlfriend to use it for taking pictures n whatnot while outside of town. She returned it kinda Rambo-ish; the front of the phone basically fell apart.. the front metal grill surrounding it, at least.
Phone worked fine, except for the cable shorting out even more. My laptop shut down every time that happened, so I'm quite sure that's not what caused the problem I'll be explaining later on in this thread.
So let's get to the point, shall we?
My phone was really low on battery, something within the range of 2-5%. I tried charging it, but the wires shorted out again and the laptop died on me.. again, and again, and again..
I couldn't really bother with fiddling around with it until it starts, so I just unplugged it and left it that way.
The phone sat for a few days, my (main) laptop broke, so I decided to give the good ol' Facebook Messenger a go.. sadly, the phone would not turn on or start charging.
I removed the shrink-like wrap around the wires of the USB cable, cut the bad parts and twisted the color-matching wires in order. Sadly, the phone would still not charge.
I tried with another (self-made) USB cable... no luck whatsoever. Just to clarify; the blue wire on the one the phone comes with is ground, right? If not that could of caused the problem, since I connected the blue wire on the mini-usb to the black one on a standard USB plug.
I tried juicing the phone up a tad bit by running 5V on the battery for 15 minutes or so.. didn't really bother going for more, since it's kinda hard to keep 2 wires pressed against the battery for more than that. The phone powered up, but the display did not. There was the low battery sound, volume keys were functional, vibrating feedback was okay.. hell, the phone even took a screenshot when I pressed power button + volume down!
Sadly, that didn't solve anything.. even turned on, it would not charge. The 15-minute charge is good for a minute of red blinking light and fancy glowing buttons, nothing more.
Is the phone dead, or should I give it a hour charge directly and see how that goes?
Thanks in advance to everyone who replies!
i think it'll be good if you buy a universal battery charger for phone. so you can charge your battery without plugged to the phone

I am looking for more opinions before I spend cash I don't have on chargers that may not work.
If you or someone else is positive about the display not working because of not enough battery juice, then I'll manually charge the battery for an hour, even though it's uncomfortable as hell to hold 2 wires on the pins for that long.
What's bugging me is that it's not charging once it has just enough juice to power up everything, no display either. I'd like to know if it's doing that, because the battery is too dead to actually start charging up via the phone and whether the display just doesn't work or there's not enough juice for it.
Edit; I bought a chinese charger that charges the battery directly (2pins). The display still does not work and the phone will still not charge via the cable. Could it be a bad cable (and a dead display..)? It seems like the phone itself is responsive - I unlock it, press the "search" button and when I type on the keyboard (that I don't see), it vibrates with every pressed key.
Also, I can hear it taking a screenshot and the volume down/up buttons seem to be working fine.

this is exactly what's been going on with my phone as of a few days ago.
checked the time while it was plugged in, unplugged it...screen froze.
hasn't turned back on since.
the buttons on bottom light up, though.
i can take calls, use my unlock pattern (it takes me a few tries now that i can't see anything) and press the search key for google now.
for all intents and purposes...phone's fully functional...except i can't see anything going on.
i brought my phone into a sprint corp store, they changed the top housing for me screen and all for free.
it was really nice.
but, that didn't change anything.
screen still doesn't change anything.
they said the board probably shorted on screen lead.
have you figured anything out?

Nope, I'm still in the same situation.
Does yours charge?
My phone isn't recognized by my laptop at all, so I'm guessing something is indeed fried. I don't have the appropriate screwdrivers to open it up and inspect the board, otherwise I'd open it up and check it out.
If you have Torx T5 & T3 screwdrivers you should give it a go - post some decent-res pics over here and I'll at least visually inspect it.
I genuinely don't feel like spending more money for tools n whatnot for a phone that may be permanently dead.. planning on getting a second-hand S4 anyways. Waiting on a student loan and smashing this phone to pieces as soon as I get the cash for a new one. Can try and help out for yours if you manage to open it, though. Could be something as simple as a dead resistor that shouldn't be too hard to replace.
I tried the hillbilly method and hit my phone a few times against a wooden bench, that didn't seem to fix it. Pretty positive something's fried, but I'm also guessing it isn't a viable component, having in mind the phone functions normally, even though the display & usb port don't work.. hell, my phone woke me up at 3AM today, 'cause the alarm went off, lol!
Hey, I just dropped my phone for the second time. The first time my screen cracked a little bit but noting to big and everything still worked. No today for the second time, on the left bottom corner of the phone. No new cracks in the screen, but the back got cracked and the corner is damaged.
The phone still displays the notification light, and shows when its charging. When I keep down the power butten I feel the phone vibrate like turning on, but no screen on. My computer also detects the phone when I plug it in. but once again no screen on.
Do you think there is a way to get the screen back to life, or is it dead? Meaning I must replace the phone or screen.
Update 1:
Phone screens is all snow when i can turn it on, not moving.

Are you sure, I would say it's a broken screen.
For me the cheapest / quickest / surest way was to make it repair by official support.
There are several applications which allow you to control a phone with broken screen on computer. You can find in xda apps and also hacks section. If this works, meaning pc shows phones startup screen etc., your phones screen is broken. It also gives you the chance to backup a few things.
By the description you gave, I would say screen is broken. Check ebay for replacement parts if you are handy, or like previous guy said oneplus service (which could be expensive for you)
thanks for the reply. it's indeed my screen but it works again, sometimes... there most be a bad connection so its falls out now and than and i have to give it a gentry tick to get it back.. i will get it fixed soon

A hard brick from a drop is called a broken phone dude.
