[Q] blue lines across screen - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently dropped my phone in water. Everything works except that my screen has a bunch of blue lines across it. Every now and then they will get thicker and then thin out. I've opened it up and cleaned the terminals that connect the lcd to the motherboard with alcohol but no avail. What should I do now

Sounds like the lcd is damaged unfortunately. Try taking out the battery and sticking the whole thing in a bag of dry rice for a couple of days. This will absorb the water still stuck in the areas you can't get to. If that fails, you are looking at a new lcd, which will run you around $100. Good luck buddy!

The dry rice in a bag method worked for my son's phone last year. He dropped it in fresh water of course. Salt water would = phone death ;-)

Repairing a BA

Hi,
My O2 XDA IIs have two small problems :
- The part including the screen isn't very well attached to the part which contains the battery,
- I don't know how to explain it but a kind of fine film present on the plastic layer covering the screen has gone. The screen and the touch screen are working perfectly and there is no cracks anywhere.

Is there a way to repair this 2 faults ?
Thanks a lot and continue your great work!

Maybe you use lousy screen protector and take out will be like this .
Yes, you're right ... I used really expensive screen protector but when I retired it this fine layer goes out with the screen protector ...
Is there a way to buy this part (the protective plastic layer) somewhere or to take this thing off ?
You could try rubbing alcohol or something like that....
...just dont blame me if it goes wrong!

how the hell does dust get under screen

when I got it, there was none under it.. two weeks later, there's a speck of noticeable something (dust?) under the screen now. It wasn't there prior to this. how the hell does it get there?
Sent from my HTC EVO View Tablet
any photos?
Through the open ports on any device. Headphone, charging port, etc. Some devices are built a bit more stuffed inside, so harder for dust to get very far inside. Others have a bit more wiggle room, so dust finds its way to the screen.

see that white speck that's not in line with those other dots that are part of the screen? that's it. that really sucks, because now it annoys the living hell out of me. why is HTC so bad with getting dust under the screen?!

DIY Fix Back Cover Creak

Hey guys this is how i quickly fixed the creaky back battery cover on my indcredible 4g lte. All you need is post it notes and any tape, i used blue masking tape. At first i tried placing pieces of paper on the edges because the lower two corners of the phone were making this annoying sound whenver i held it, but this was no permanent fix as they fell out whenever opening the cover. Also there were creaks on the little area under the volume rocker. All of these area are now fixed and no creaks at all. Now phone feels more dense, although no weight added, just like my og incredible and incredible 2. Also if you are ever in dire need of a postit note you can impress anyone by busting one out from your phone. Droid Does!

My 800 USB flap keeps falling off when it's open!

Hey guys, I've got a Lumia 800 and I love it. Apart from one thing: My USB/Charge flap keeps falling off when open, i.e. when charging. It literally falls off if you turn the phone upside down.
It's been doing this since I took it out the box from new (about a month ago). Also when it's closed it doesn't sit flush with the rest of the body but rather sits slightly pronounced
I've watched a few of the "How to replace Lumia 800 USB flap" videos but everyone else seems to be able to take off the flap by pulling hard and then replacing it by puching it back onto the pivot softly until it clicks. Mine doesn't click, and if I were to push any harder it most certainly would break.
Has anyone else got this issue or should I send it off for repair?
I've attached some pics just to see iv it varies from what a normal "functioning" flap looks like.

It is not normal, you should send it off for replacement.

Question Moisture detected ?

I'm nearly sure no water has gotten near this charging port, what happened was I tried to use another charger and it would charge for me, then I put the old charger back in and then this message popped up, iv used a hair dryer for like 5 mins on it, and still showing up
I can remove the message by force closing Android system, then I reset phone, and still the same,
Any clues? Or just wait it out?

Defective brick or cable? Use the one that works.
The Samsung 25w brick/cable are cheap and long lived. Using them makes troubleshooting much easier... I have three, the oldest is will be 4yo in October, still A-OK.
When It happened on my device it was because some dirt or fluff got lodged in. I used straw, in absence of canned air, to blow it out
