Hi all
So....... I dropped my phone and now the screen has an ugly dark patch appear in the corner.
See picture.
The patch has grown over the last couple of days so I am wondering if it is moisture since my gf threw a damp towel on it afterwards just to make things worse!
Anyone seen this before?
Just got back from hols today so was planning on taking it apart but wanted some advice first.
Might be a job for travel insurance, but I'd prefer to keep this one if it is repairable.
Thanks!
NC

Anyone?

Doesn't look like moisture to me, think the drop might have damaged some internal workings. I would just get it fixed under warrenty or in your travel insurance.
Ok thanks for the response. I'll see I can find locally.

Same problem
Hi,
i have the same problem. Dark patch appeared after (a short) drop and got much bigger after a few days.
@N-C have you figured anything out? I would appreciate any hint/advice.
I eventually managed to get it fixed under the warranty. They replaced the screen.

Hi there,
I got my Nook tablet today, and almost immediately noticed a fair amount of adhesive at the left bottom corner of the frame, and a bit further up the left side. I read that the inside of the device contains large amounts of adhesive, but is it normal for it to actually show outside the frame? I took a picture of it:

I'd try to clean it out of there, but it is rather rough stuff and I don't want to work it around too hard.
Thanks, Nir
Wow, that is completely unacceptable. You should exchange it immediately if it came that way.

Absolutely agree with Phonoob. Go get that thing exchanged asap!
Yea ide return it.

My thought too. Back it goes I guess, thanks for chiming in!
I'd say return it as well, but if you wanted to just clean it use Goo Gone or even lighter fluid.

And catch fire! Read the fine print. No harsh chemical should be used to clean product. Just return/exchange for new unit.
Dead Pixel
Take it back. Mine had a dead pixel or screen imperfection right in the middle and I took it back. Exchange was easy.
Hi, I have a TMobile Vibrant ROMed and rooted here, and it won't turn on. the soft keys do light up when its plugged in, but that's all it does. The battery is charged for sure because I do have an external battery charger that tells the charge of the battery.
This started happening about a couple days after I flashed AOKP, the odd thing is, prior I had CM7 flashed and it randomly bootlooped on me while using it (read: I was not installing roms/kernels, just regular day usage and it bootlooped)
This time with AOKP, it doesn't turn on at all! If anybody needs further information, I'll be on all day to provide it. Can anybody please help me?
UPDATE : I'm starting to think the screen is dead; I was able to flash stock somehow, and I can hear the unlock sound, but obviously nothing is on the display :/.
You probably already know that you can check for vital signs by plugging it into a PC and checking for a USB connection. You might even be able to get an adb login.
If the screen is dead, you could maybe use it as a... webcam? Wifi widget? Paper-weight? Or spare parts?
Good luck with it. It does sound like bad hardware.

^^ I'm on his side
Has anyone else experienced this - the protective, soft tape that lines the inside of the piece where the tablet connects to the keyboard is coming off. My guess is that the minimal additional width added by my screen protector must be pushing it and making it come off. Has anyone else had this happen? I haven't had the keyboard dock for more than a couple of months, so I'm a little ticked off that this is happening. Any ideas how I might be able to replace this myself, or if something like this could be covered under warranty? (I'll try to get some pictures to better illustrate what's happening)
Thanks!

Edit: Photos - as you can see from the pics, it's only the front side that comes in contact with the bottom of the screen; the back is untouched.

mines was doing the same thing, i got pissed off and pulled it off, LMAO u dont need it if u already got a screen protector on ur device as the protector will help protect the screen from scratch damage, thats what they were made for, mines just leave little sticky resude like at the center cause there is some sticky stuff still left there, i just wipe it off and its good to go

Thanks - I was thinking that same thing. I still might try to get a replacement through Staples as a manufacturing defect (??). If they say no, I'll just pull it off.

Hi I would like to know if anyone manage to get this (chameleon launcher) to work on their Note i1717. I tried to download the beta from the play store but says my phone isn't compatible, while I have also read that others got it to work properly. If anyone can confirm that this works and give a brief description to get it to work, it would be greatly appreciated.
PS. I just don't wanna waste $10 and not get it to work. Would like to try beforehand.

I tried it out before the really had anything for it. Maybe four widgets. I never had a chance to check the location or timer screen functions. It looked to be cool but nothing really worked yet. I took it off my girlfriends tab. She donated to kick start for it. I haven't tried it in weeks though. Maybe its gotten better. I really like the idea. I'll pull it again and give it a try and report back. I don't think you'll be able to get it from the play store though.
Edit added some screen shots from the note. Still crashed all the time on all the widgets. Just not made for it I guess.

Maybe the battery is giving crap, swap it.
Sent from the little guy
Never seen that before. That sucks. My screen was a little glitchy after a hard drop; factory reset and it fixed it somehow! Maybe lucky? Good luck.
He/she might me on ICS, if he/she's on 4.0.4 and factory resets, bye bye phone.
Sent from the little guy
It's not the battery or the soft. I change the soft and it's ok. I think is the display and must change.
I will need a little more help... What rom you recommend ? And a link will be great . Thanks a lot !

Did you try the battery thing?
What you mean "it's ok"?
Sent from the little guy
Yes I tray the problem is not from that. I mean maybe is the screen to look inside ,to dismantle the phone.?
