Hey whats up guys , i replaced my dell streak screen according to i fix it and everything seemed to go well . The problem i am having is that the screen lights u but i never see the dell logo or anything but a black screen . I am assured that the phone is on because i see the difference between the screen being on and off and i can also see the back lights for the lcd on just do boot up screen. Any suggestions. Btw streaks all the way !
I have done the same thing during my many screen replacements. The large flat ribbon isnt inserted fuly, or you have broken one of the corners on the connector resulting in the pins/contacts not lining up exactly and crossing over.
Careful working with some jewellers screwdrivers will get the ribbon inserted properly, even with a broken connector. If it is broken, use a knife to slice the stick pad from the small ribbon in half, place over the broken section: this has kept mines in "working" order for over a year.
I say working in quotes because I broke my screen for the fourth time a few months ago. Seeing as the avg. price of a screen is now £125, my Samsung Galaxy S3 will be arriving tomorrow and good riddence to Dell who didnt give a crap about this device other than getting your money. dell will never receive another penny from me in my life, may it rot in flea infested armpits of a camel.
thanks man.i will try this tonight.I feel the same way Dell had a opportunity to dominate the 5 inch market yet they crapped on it with a lack of Customer support late adoption of froyo a weirdly weak screen.to date I have had 16 Dell streaks replaced by Dell.those stupid reps probably knew their product was **** never will I purchase another Dell product. Now I have a galaxy note and I'm loving it!

I just purchased a "new" Dell Streak 5 from their Sales dept. I assumed I was buying new as there are none in the Dell outlet store.
When I received it, the inside box was open, could not find the micro SD card to insert and the backplate would not seat properly, so could do nothing more since the backplate would not stay put, so could not charge battery, etc.
Also, the Date of Manufacture said Oct 8, 2010--that's pretty old for a "new" streak, so I am guessing I was sent a Refurbished unit when I ordered a brand new one.
Now, their returns dept is non-functional--since last Wednesday and no indication when it will be back up.
So, I am sitting here stuck with an old, defective, non-functional Streak 5 and probably my last purchase from DELL---EVER!
What is the experience of anyone who has purchased an unlocked Streak 5 directly from DELL in last 6 months--did you get one with DOM that was 8 months or older?
Not refurbished but old/different
I have received a replacement (unlocked version so they send a new one) from Dell in past month and it was made in October as well (the back cover didn't fit until I used a knife to open the gap on the latch). I think these are ones that were not produced with the same materials as most other Streaks(and Dell probably knew it) I'm thinking these might have a different LCD causing the fit and finish of the device to be off. I've had 3 Streaks now and My first one was an older one(September or October date) and the screen was probably the best of the three until its contrast got messed up. My second one was a newer one (January date) and its screen was kinda yellowish compared to my first one. My third one(current one was built 10/06/2010) and its screen looks like the first one with very bright whites. Out of the 3 the second felt a little more solid and the battery cover was very easy to install, on 1 and 3 the battery cover was/is somewhat cumbersome to put on. I believe Dell switched LCD's on the streak 2 or 3 times causing the difference in image quality and fit and finish of the device. Also as of May 4 the the Streak was discontinued so your going to get whatever they have on hand. So to summarize your device probably isn't used but its fit and finish is quite right, Also remember your device may seem used because it was taken out of the box to be upgraded by dell technicians(seeing as Froyo wasn't released for the Streak until December).
I had no idea they were discontinuing the Streak--is that the 5 inch AND the 7 inch. Why is that? Is it being replaced by something else?
Dell road map for the streak line is to launch a new streak 5 code named "Opus One" Q1 2012, dell could be playing it smart and slowing down the production of the 5" hybrid but doesn't make much sense to stop all making of the device isn't their that promotion deal going on in the states " buy a new computer over 600 bucks add a streak 5 for a 100" thing still going on, sucks they screwed you over like that, thats bad business practice, good thing I got mine made to order took more then a month for the dam thing though not unlocked thought stuck with rogers canada

Sadly my X10 has come to an end. Its been one of the best things I've owned over the past 6 months. But its current state has just made me give up on it
From what was a tiny small crack in the screen has now ended in me getting rid of the phone.
I replaced the digitizer but when doing so scraped off the doublesided glue, so waited another 3 weeks for that to come from overseas.
After finally arriving and damaged the LCD putting it back together. So waited more weeks for that to come. The new LCD is good, I boot the phone to notice the screen goes from 256k colours (looked ****) to normal - almost every time I touch the screen. I investigate to find the replacement digitizers ribbon cable which is attached to the glass has come off. Im putting it down to being faulty as so much care and love was put into putting it back togeather. Im not going to bother ordering a new one.
The last 3 months I've been without it, so its time to move on. Funny enough my girlfriend who hated her x10 since day one (yes we had matching x10's) was given an iphone so I'm taking hers.
As I speak, it sits in front of me in bits and I am seriously over trying to fix it. Its black too.
Dont let your child die
I was thinking of giving it one last go, but I woke up thinking the digitizer cable being broken wouldnt have been causing the bad screen colour. That would have to be LCD related..
So its definately all over with now!
buy a superamoled display from the SGS
oh man, its awful to hear that.
all parts are available if anyones interested
Helo.Sorry for my english but i want to ask, you have all the parts off the phone?My x10 usb is broken and i cant recharge.The motherboard is that im interested.Do you sell it?
Hello.
I wanted to know if you have some spare parts from X10 (Ear Piece Speaker Flex Cable and Keypad Button Flex Cable).
Thank you.
im really interested about the motherboard,you still got it?
Is your phone still up for grabs? Please PM me.
Regards
K
hey.
hey fellow brent I hope everything goes ok with your x10.
So I know that htc went with a new method of screen the "zero gap". But I heard some people are getting black specks under there screens is this still happening for those who just bought the phone or exchanged ? I'm wanting to buy one but I don't want to through that drama that I did with apples iPhone 4s after 4 replacements have a decent screen!
Zero gap is great and I drive in a dusty ass truck 10 hours a day and every phone I've had got dust under the screen with in the 1st week. This phone hasn't and i think the people who have a specs under theirs has to be from the time of build or an actual dead pixel.

That's what I meant if a new purchase one had any dust from manufacture. But it's awesome to know thy no dust build up from day today usage. Thanks for the information much appreciated
I've had my phone for a week now and the only dust I have on the screen is from factory build. I don't plan on exchanging it because rarely doci get a phone that has no problems. The spec of dust is tiny and I don't see it unless its a white blank screen...and even then i have to look for it. My screen does have two dead pixels but the time I've seen them is with the brightness set to Max in a pitch black room and a perfect black sfreen. Even then I had to hunt for them. So given the fact i had to search that hhard for them ii call it a pass. (Yes this is how anal I am with my phones)
OK thank you very much so yours came with dust under the screen ? And when you say small like pen point size or smaller.

My first phone had dust under the screen from the factory -- it covered about three or four pixels, and was clearly lint or something like that. No problems with the replacement phone.
I love my dear Rezound, as it has helped me so many times, and maybe might've even saved my life at one point. I am the only 1 out of 5 lines who is not tied down to a contract and does not have a Samsung Galaxy S III or Note 2, because I love this phone that much. But the problem is, after 6-7 months after I got it, it fell down on the concrete sidewalk and cracked the screen. It was only two really small hairline cracks, so I didn't think anything of it, only the occasional annoyance that I dropped it whenever I watched a YT video. I was fooling around with a bunch of my friends, and it fell out of my pocket, now the screen's broken to the point where if I touch it, I can sort of like...feel the screen being pushed down. The touch screen still works, and I'm planning to get it replaced at a local mall sometime this month. So I was wondering...if the store rips me off and uses just a cheap screen, will the display be bad? Will I not get that same, cool, color as I did when it wasn't broken?
TL;DR if a store that fixes phones uses a low quality screen, will the colors not be the same as it was before?

it depends on the service at the store. If they charged less than $50 to replace it. 9 times out of 10 it was just the glass.
if it was more. then they did replace the lcd. A lot of the times they will buy OEM but you do have the off chance of getting a China knock off.
tl:dr it is quite possibly they did replace with a bad lcd. Most places offer a warranty on it so i would go talk to them.
If just the digitizer is cracked and not the LCD, then they should just replace the digitizer and all the colors and richness will remain. The only Rusk is dead spots on the touch screen which if its a reputable store should have some kind of warranty I would think.

Hey guys I bought a used note 2 VZW
long story short the screen was busted and I repaired it, the screen is unresponsive to touch (it will respond
but it's very iffy usually having to tap on the screen pretty hard to get it to recognize the finger.) it was spazzing out too
with nothing else touching the screen i turned on show pointer location and it was moving extremely rapidly up and down
the left side of the screen.
but when the S-Pen is removed and used it works fine.
the replacement part i used was for the VZW model number i605/L900 is it possible the replacement part had a bad digitizer?
all pins/connecters were seated with care. it worked fine for about 3 weeks, then Bam. no dice, any way if anyone is interested
in it pm me, i've got a note 3 on order from BestBuy.
I'm giving up on buying used and repairing them, i'd rather buy new at discounted prices. than pay near full price (including replacement
parts repair it and it still be screwed.)
