Good Day folks, here is the long and short of it.
Galaxy s 2 fell and the screen broke
I bought a new screen
Replaced the screen BUT two big problems occured.
1. The screen appears to have less colours than my original screen
2. NONE OF THE SOFT KEYS WORK, HOME, MENU AND BACK DO NOT WORK.
Number 2. is the big problem. Does anyone have any idea how these buttons work?
Even when I press the buttons directly with my fingers with the buttons off they still do not work.
Im baffled. Please help.
I also have attached pictures of the button area
It happened to me, I removed the screen, I replaced from beginning and it worked...
Hi Collado, do the white things behind the buttons have any electronic functionality or are those just things to make it stick?
To all future readers. I found out what the problem was. Basically,
The home, back and menu keys are all connected to a single ribbon. It appears there is a tiny piece, connected via the back key. That was torn while i was ripping off the the screen and digitizer.
See the picture attached
How much did you pay for your replacement screen and where did you get it. My digitizer is broken due to a drop. My front glass is perfect but the digitizer is completey shot. How difficult was this project?
Hi Johnboy
I cant remember the price of the digitizer offhand but make a check on ebay.. that is where i got it.
Difficulty is high as you need the minature tool set to do this effectively and a gentle touch.
However, it still appears as though the screen I bought has less colours.
Sorry to jump in and unintended hijack
I also dropped my S2 and cracked the screen, and after checking around dropped it in to the Geek Squad at CPW. Who duly replaced the screen and digitizer for £80. Only problem is the screen seems less bright and if moved off the central viewing angle the screen dims, as if it wasa standard lcd and not the orginal AMOLED screen. Does anyone know if they make lesser screens or was it fitted badly.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I would go back with it and complain.If you dont get satisfaction then do an impression of the guy that goes into the pizza shop in "rise of the foot-soldier" film.

I notice screen Backlights on borders of my screen !! Is that a problem or normal ??
You are not alone, I have really bad back-light bleed issues as well as image retention. It's all the way down the side of my screen and there's even a little bit in the middle. Seems to be a common fault on the LG G5. Money is going to have to come out of my pocket to replace the screen. I only bought this G5 online three months ago. Ridiculous.
After replacing lg v10 screen, i tested the device thoroughly.
Device works fine with a new LCD screen as long as not all components are connected (e.g. front camera en 3.5 mm jack)
The problem i keep getting with the LCD is:
1. Connect 3.5 mm jack and LCD screen blacks out.
2. Screw on back panel and LCD screen blacks out.
3. When charger is connected LCD screen blacks out immediatly.
In all three situations the LCD black outs and if it turns on you see white lines on the right side of the screen.
If you thighten the screws too hard the LCD screen also in black out.
If you plug in the charger the lcd immediatly goes black.
Now I wonder where the problem lies. Is it the LCD screen or motherboard.
PS: this was a water damaged phone which was repaired by a store with industrial equipment.
My HTC m8 screen start to flicker and there are some vertical shadows dancing mostly unseen on black background so I'm planning to buy a replacement from ebay is that only a digitizer issue ? or I should have the lcd switched ?
is that a suitable replacement ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-HTC...937697?hash=item5d61278221:g:nZkAAOSwIgNXlKu5
Hi,
I am asked to repair a broken screen of the X Pro ...second time.
For first replacement I ordered this part:
https://www.mobiltec24.de/BQ/Aquaris-X-Pro/LCD-Display-Touchscreen-Front-Rahmen-schwarz.html
But it was less responsive (especially the softkeys, but also in general), not as bright and not as colorful as the original screen.
Furthermore we faced random screen-freezes, which are gone after switching screen off/on.
Does anybody have a suggestion for me, where to buy a (hq/original) screen?
