weird broken screen problem - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have no idea how this happened 5 minutes ago I was playing draw something on the tablet then I closed it did a few things and when I come back to it I have a large horizontal line going across the screen and a small ink splotch on the bottom of the horizontal line. I can't take a screen shot of it. The picture comes out fine. Can someone plz tell me if this is a hardware or software issue and how to handle it. I bought the prime in Feb so I don't know if I'm under warranty or not. Plz help this is extremely upsetting.

If you reboot and the problem is there during the splash screen, then I'd say hardware.

I guess its hardware but how could this happen maybe too ,much pressure in that area? How much/little pressure could cause this. Its even in a roocase. Will Asus fix it if I complain about this with GPS issues?

You used your Prime to take a screenshot and were surprised that the crack in the glass didn't show up in the image?
Just... lol

The screen physically is fine. No "cracks" on the outside so I wasn't sure if it was on the internal or software

ISSUES:
Hi,
My HTC is giving me problems. The screen has become yellowish.
Earlier the screen used to become yellowish for 5-10 mins and it used to occur in two weeks or so. But now the phone has permanently become yellowish. I am also attaching a picture along with this thread. As you can see, the areas in the pic which are bluish is showing the true color of the background. Rest of the screen is all yellowish.
Can someone help me with this problem.
Best regards,
MOhit Goyal

A couple of times I've had green/yellow horizontal streaks on the screen. The icons etc under the streaks are still visible but discoloured.
This cannot be captured in a screen shot taken on the phone, I've tried and the capture looks Ok once the streaking has gone
Is this similar to your problem?

Here is a vid of it:

Nobody tried? (suctions or cellophane tape?) :-(
Probably one of this:
1. Hardware failure - nothing to do with it.
2. Wrong ROM/Radio - just reflash carefully with matching ROM and Radio (the best will be the latest)
3. Software bug - see 2.
On my cousins HTC Wizard is something similar: the screen slowly fills with white 1px lines, but after turning off the screen and waking back it gets normal (and it happens when booting Wing Linux; the console is half white ), so it COULD be software issue.
according to me i think that it is a hardware deffect ...probably the lcd is giving away in many cases...i got my screen replaced n had a yellowish tint in any white screen....i returned it,after 6 days they said that the lcd was faulty
I had this same problem with the strange yellow screen and read on some other forum that you're supposed to "flex" the phone. So I bended my phone a little (the top and bottom backwards, be careful the screen also has glass in it) to try to get a bit of a curve in it and by god ...it worked!!!!! The screen flickered and then the yellow screen was gone!!! I'm so glad because I mailed Htc two days earlier and I still don't have a response from them. I hope it works for you
I had same problem. Solved by drying the phone with hairdryer. First time occurred in winter time after using it from the pocket. Second time in summer time with high weather humidity. Solved spontaneously, or by flexing phone or by reboot. I think the moisture is the problem.

Display static and lines issue

I'm having display issue on my tab that was purchase as refurbished unit about a year ago. It was working fine last night and I turn it on this morning and it is completely jumbled
even with this messed up screen, it can still detect internet, login with my pw etc.
It also seems that screen doesn't flicker in portrait mode while it flickers in landscape mode
As far as I can tell, it seems like the displace has become out of sync (like how you monitor behaves if you have strong magnet near by)

anyone have any suggestion to fix this? Like hard reset on the display or recalibration method?
Could you resize your photos? They are HUGE!
Was your Tab left plugged in to charge all night? If so maybe a power surge happened? I'm not sure if it can be fixed. I'm sure there are experts here that will chime in! Good luck!
it was not left plugged in...
if it was power surge, more than just display would go
guess XDA doesn't have many HW experts?

There's no need to be rude. It's the weekend and people are busy. You need to be patient. Resizing your enormous photos so they are easily viewable might help too.

I misread this quote as "I'm not sure if there are experts here that will chime in!" as for HW experts
does most people read this forum using 3G connections? no one has ever ask to resize 3 photos taken from my phone camera on any forums. They are 3MB per picture. Is that considered big in this forum?
It happened out of the blue, so it appears to be a hardware issue. Better contact Samsung, as it may not be easy to fix.

It isn't the file size, it's the resolution itself. Even on my 1080p desktop, they are nearly twice as wide as the monitor.
Make sure to resize them to a "standard" resolution.

it auto re-sizes to about 640x480 to 8000x600 on my firefox

someone from another forum suggested that it seems like connection btw screen and board seems to be loose. Plausible, but not sure since it didn't receive any big shock from time I went to sleep till I got up
Any other suggestions?

Your tab has secretly been dropping acid?
Seriously though, this looks a bit like an issue a Samsung TV my parents own developed.
The fault was determined to either be the LCD panel itself or the cable connecting to it but since the two were one integral piece and the TC was out of warranty, it was cheaper to replace it than try and have it fixed, so we never got to the bottom of it.
If your tab's still under warranty, you'd be best sending it back to Samsung and letting them have a look.

LCD Screen and Frame

Thought I would post this as I just brought one..
My Screen died yet again. after only having it in for service about March. Mind you it was here in Asus China.. so...
Anyway, It was giving me the dreaded black screen no turn on type thing, Plus a few of the other characteristics that have been documented in the Katkiss thread of late- Corrupted partition.
After the last battle with it, I ended up with a full strip on the left hand side about 50mm that is unresponsive.. nothing that you can do on the touch side of things, but mouse still works. Anyway.. wasn't going to send it back. as its not worth the aggravation of dealing with the idiots at the Asus aftersales service. So went and brought the Nexus 10.. Loving it..
but for project decided to look for another LCD screen and came across this seller with the full frame for sale.. so its about $US65.. so its my weekend project.. as Dam.. with Katkiss JB4.3 around.. I just want to play with it on the TF101.. Just not ready to let this thing die as yet.
I will update the post once i get it up and running.

Well, its back up and running..not with out a few tense moments..
The picture you see is NOT what you get..as no frame..they **** you on that..
Which I found out to my detriment.. As I order the full set thinking that I wasn't going to have screw around with the glue thing..
it turned out it turned up and I was...what the...
Click to expand...

As I had ready been watching videos so kinda knew what to do..
Anyway as it comes glued already..how the .... Are you suppose to screw the LCD panel in..
Derrrrrrr...can't unless you do some strange but thing..and or bend the brackets around..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Anyway..
Not to be deterred.. I got out the trusted plastic tools and went about separation of the screen from the LCD panel...new one...as I already had got the old one off with no drama..and cleanly.
Note..make sure you know which you are separating..as I found out the hard way that I was actually separating the gorilla glass from the touch screen...were wondering why it was so dam hard...plus one hell of a mess..
Lucky the original was still in good order so I finally was able to separate the new LCD panel and clean it up..
I almost gave up..but pushed through..it wasn't going to beat me.. plenty of man handling going on..I put it all back together...yeha..
Mind you I wasn't thinking that it was going to crank up as I was man handling the LCD panel pretty heavily ...but up popped Tims little mascot and 4.2.2 fired right up...sign of relief..
So straight to 4.3 I have came and its powering along...too good to be true..
Thanks Tim...and others that have ported the 4.3..
Of course I have a few more creaks from around the edges And a little light bleed on the left hand side but as I was lucky that the double sided tap from the original glass was still sticky and usable..
Will let it settle in and put it thru its passes and see how it goes before I pull it apart and pop some silicon in there..

Will edit post later with the YouTube links used.
If you do it, the Russian video is the best to use to strip it down but there are a few little steps it miss's
Thus the other two come in handy.

Where did you find the full frame with the LCD for $65? I currently have the same problem with my tf101. And would love to replace it. Right now its just a paper weight.
Disregard, I got all excited a quick Google search lead me to one on amazon. Thank you for the tutorial I will follow once mine gets in and I'll report back!

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.
what, why, how?
removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?
I have got the exact same thing with my phone

My cats had went haywire in the kitchen so I slipped on the floor and the phone went flying. I laughed because it was so stupid. This is the second time this happens in the kitchen.. anyway, I will order a new one tonight.
I should probably be sad and stuff but for some reason Im not.
Good to know you also have it though, so that I wont be bothered on the new unit

[Q] Light Bleed or Other Display Issue?

Greetings! I am wondering if it is possible for this to be light bleed or is it another display issue? Basically a white bar is about .5" from the bottom bezel of the tablet. I do notice there is light bleed in that area, I'm wondering if it's the cause of the white bar? I tried my best to capture the defect and outlined it in red. It is quite hard to see in photo, but very easy to spot in person on light colors etc. I know there is a separate light bleed thread, but I thought maybe this could be another issue? Thank you for your input.

That looks like more than just light bleed. Light bleed on mine isn't as much a defined line as yours. Plus I usually don't see it on light screens. But let others answer here too
I am in the same boat as you, zetsumeikuro. I think it has to do with the cheap display panel that came with the Nexus 9 as I had the same bar of slightly-more-brighter-portion-part with my really old iPhone 3GS before heading to android. It's too bad I I can see mine really clearly too :'(

Thanks for the update! I also just decided to send my tablet into HTC for repair for this issue. I also have super slow charging sometimes, so might as well have them take a look at that too. Please let me know how the repair worked out for you. I was super reluctant with sending my 9 into HTC cause of my craptacular experience with the purple camera with the one. Had to do the "repair" 3-4 times, it was utter and complete bull**** and chaos.
Looks like HTC repair did the trick this time! Total time from me shipping the device out to them sending it back (excluding weekends) about 8 business days. They swapped out the LCD and fixed the slow charging issue. Tablet seems like brand new!
Looks like a lot of HTC's panels for the N9 are pretty cheap. My "repaired" one has the same issue, just to a much lesser extent. The defect is on the bottom but only a small part .
