Hello, unfortunately, my phone got drippled by water and the display is not working as it should be, the color is dimmed, or is black on startup, depending on my luck, but now, the color contrast is unbalanced and it appears redish, and is annoying. I know its my fault for damaging it, but anyone know how to solve, or give advice on this problem? or at least tell me how to disasemble the device and clean the internals?
Thanks so much!
EDIT!!! Nevermind, I used a hairdryer to warm it up, and them it worked!
I think should take it to a service point because it will rust if not already
They should be equiped to clean it

Hi,
I dropped my Galaxy S2 Yesterday (have no idea if this relates to it) But i plugged it into the charger this morning and everything was blue & some of the screen had turned black and some icons had burnt into the screen it looked like.
After taking it with me because it was still usable, Its not completely black except for maybe the faintest part of blue.
Im running Lite'ning rom, The newest one im pretty sure.
Just wondering if this is a virus? Or the screen is dead. I just cant see how it could suddenly die when it was flat and not turned on.
Phones not under warranty by the way. So maybe you could give me some options?
Thanks heaps guys
Probably the problem is hardware related due to the fall, but you could back all your data and try to do a factory reset to see if it fixes or not. If it doesn't fix maybe you should check your screen hardware.
Thanks for the reply,
I just reflashed Litening with Odin 1.85 and still nothing, I get the vibrations, touch lights, sound ect, But only occasionally a tiny little strip of blue along the top.
How would i check my screen hardware? Because i pulled apart my galaxy s after it died and accidently cracked the screen & Glass
How would i do a factory reset by the way? Since i cant see anything
I'd imagine it's dead. I'd take it to your local store and ask for an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it. If you can't see anything, then the screen is either broken or it got disconnected (or maybe some of the ribbons did at least).
Yeah, I just dont really wanna take the phone apart unless i know its likley to fix it.
When i first got it, I noticed it had black splotches on the screen in very dim light on a white background. Nd im guessing id have to almost buy a whole front screen assembly to replace the front screen D:.
Would i be better just to sell the phone how it is? Or repair it?
Hey guys,
in the last couple of days I noticed that there are quite a few 30-50 dead or at least stuck pixels on my screen. It really bugs me, because I'm kind of a perfectionist. They are all in the same color. It's a light grey or white. Due to that they're only visible on black surfaces.
Is there anything I could do about this? I already tried to run a stuck pixel fixer, but nothing changed. Ran it about 10 hours. Is the warrenty covering this? My phone is unlocked btw.
Hope you guys can help me. Thank you!

Basicaly Yes, because you had more pixels than the minimum requirement for most of brand or trademark
but you must notice two thinks, first the phone must never to be drop or schoked or any trace about user damage.
Second one, Normaly the phone lost all waranty if you unlock it but normaly if you put the phone with the stock recovery , stock rom and lock again the bootloader, that should be ok for the technical support.
Same here matey, allot of dead pixels around the vertical edges of the phone. I had it checked out and people tell me it's dust. I did get a nod from HTC to send it in for repair. It's covered by warranty
Hello! Everyone.
am in desperate need of help. A white line across the screen of my DS5 suddenly appeared. Sometimes it's not there but more often than not it's there. Especially when I'm using a reading app or it is in the lock screen. Plus, when I reboot it, while rebooting, the white line is visible.
really don't know what's wrong with the screen. I read a lot of the problems the DS5 has and all the problems that learned seems not applicable in my case.
attached some of the pictures. hope you can see the white lines clearly. Hope to get some answers on what it is and what are the steps or options to do in order to fix the problem. It is not that a big issue on other people, however, I'm not comfortable about it and find it really annoying. It would be great if you guys can point me the right direction.
Thanks you so much!

So your suggesting that it is not a dead pixel? or the hardware (screen) can be fixed? Thanks!

I just did. The white line is still there.
There are two possible causes of this:
1. A fault in the ribbon cable.
2. A fault in the LCD itself.
A fault in the ribbon cable could be related to the connection to the motherboard or a break in one of the lines. LCD displays have tiny transistors at the edges of the screen which control the on/off state of the pixels. Sometimes they get stuck. If this is the cause of your problem, then it appears that yours is getting stuck in the "on" state, resulting in the white line.
Your options are few: purchase a used Streak with a good display and bad motherboard to swap parts with, purchase a working device and put yours up on ebay, or purchase a replacement LCD display and glass.
Hello!
My phone fell from a high place some weeks ago and the screen shattered. Touch was unresponsive, clicking everywehere, but LCD was fine, i could see everything on screen normally.
Ordered a new screen. Changed it, but when I turned it on, only backlight of the LCD was visible, but it was displaying nothing. I thought it was a defective screen (either way, it was, lots of stuck pixels), sent it back and bought another from the same seller. When I changed it and turned it on, again, no video output, lcd would light on but woundn't display nothing on screen. Googled a bit, found out it could be a defective fuse on the motherboard, and that soldering it again would solve. I know nothing about this kind of stuff, so I picked up a tweezers and apllied a little force on every fuse, because I thougth that way I could try to solve it. Well, it worked, kinda. I put the screen above that blue plastic glue only for testing, and it worked, I felt reliefed for seeing sony boot logo again. Figuring out it had worked, i took out the screen, took out the blue plastic, and glued the screen back on. For my surprise, it had the same problem as before, and it doesn't matter what I do now, it wont work anymore, only displays a black backlight with no video.
Could anyone help me out with this? Give me a hint of why it worked once but not anymore. Could it be there's really a defective fuse, or it was just a coincidence that it worked after it had force apllied? Also, the Screen flex is kinda loose, it keeps coming off all the time, and it's really hard to plug it to the LCD sometimes, is it supposed to be like that, or could it be the culprit? Also, touch is working normally, i can't see nothing on screen but i can click and feel it vibrating.
It's kind of a big text, but that's the way I could explain it. Sorry for the bad english, it's not my native language.
And thanks in advance if anyone can help!
Display backlight is not working of a sudden even when i keep the brightness at max and second screen is working but the display is not working with good backlight ! I just took the phone from my pocket and what i seen is the display is dim ! Display is so dim even when the brightness is kept at full and i dont know how this happenned and someone tell me the way to solve this problem ! Screen is very dim even when i adjusted the brightness level at max and i even tried formatting phone but the issue remained same
Hi this also just happened to me. Image is working but no brightness in screen except some bright ess in top right corner. Phone overheated a couple kf times and shutdown after this initially happened and consumed 2 full batter chages in minutes. Now the heat and battery problem is gone but screen still dark. Any ideas
Hi guys!
I`m having the very same problem. Back light of the main screen is gone, and it doesn`t matter how I adjust it, it is always dark.
Have you guys solved your problem already? Any ideas?

Having the same issue as of yesterday, been Googling possible reasons and it seems the 'backlight controller' has malfunctioned and the entire screen needs replacing (allegedly). Considering a new screen costs almost as much as the V10 itself on ebay these days I'm going to be trying to take mine apart to see if an easier fix is possible, it is more than likely there isn't, but I at least have to try. Let me know if any of you guys have any luck in repairing your phones

Update: Having replaced the screen with a new replacement screen, I am still having the same issue, indicating an issue with either the mainboard and/or the chipset. Can't really go much further with this it would seem so unfortunately I don't think the issue has any DIY fix...
Sorry guys... RIP my V10

I have Same problem,, Any solution ? please help me
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes
My LG70 just did this for a few minutes. Scared me to think my phone was dying. Restarted, still the same. While I was googling it, the screen came back on. Hope it stays that way. Really strange to take it out of my pocket and only have the screen lit in the upper right hand corner. I hope this wasn't a preview of things to come. Love this phone and want it to last!
