My X2 screen has started to occasionally go very dark, like the backlight (if that's what it's called) is going on and off, if you look at the screen almost straight on you can still see whatever was on the screen. I have reset it and put a couple of different ROMs on it, but same thing, so it seems it is unfortunately a hardware issue.
Does anyone know what the part that provides the light (backlight?) is called and can it be replaced somewhat easily or is it not worth the trouble on a phone this old?
Let me know what you think please. Thanks.
I found a digitizer for $35 and a LCD for $50. I would think just the LCD needs replacing right? What is the digitizer?

Dropped my 3D, backlight is very dim or none at all. Do I replace the LCD or digitizer? Or, is there a separate light? Any help is greatly appreciated....

I believe the backlight is part of the LCD itself. You are going to have to open the phone up to fix it anyway, so you might as well open it up and just see if maybe a connector came loose or something first before you buy a new lcd.
You need to order a replacement LCD if you don't have or want to go the insurance route. I replaced the LCD and the digitizer (glass screen) on my wife's EVO, not too hard if you follow the videos on Youtube.
Thanks

Hi everyone!
My Neo V just downed from 1m, and won't turn on LCD anymore!!
All working, except LCD, with Android Commander, to try shot a screenshot, only black image..
Anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance!
It seems that touchscreen is dead,so you should send the phone to service.

Probably both.
If you can't even take SS with android commander, then maybe it's not problem in LCD, but somewhere else.
But then again, maybe LCD is dead and because of that phone doesn't even send picture to LCD, and that's why commander can't get picture. Just my thoughts.

Yeah... I've opened... And... LCD is broken...
Now I'll buy a new one in ebay and wait 40 days...
Cliffs Notes version:
Broke the glass on my Rezound but the digitizer and LCD were working fine. While replacing the glass I broke the LCD, so I bought a replacement from ebay.
Now the new LCD will turn on to show the initial HTC screen and then it goes blank...no backlight or anything else on display. I can boot into hboot and fastboot. When I try to boot into recovery I get the blank screen. Did I get a bad LCD, or is there more to it than that? I managed to find the broken LCD and it has similar behavior, so I'm worried I may have broken something else on the board while replacing components

make sure the rainbow cable isnt pinched anywhere and that it's plugged in 100 completely, ive had this happen to me when i first started to take apart phones with the Inc. even if it's a slight angle it will not make a good enough contact.
(TL;DR version below) I have a BADLY cracked Rezound, which fell from my backpocket when I was taking my pants out of gym class and hit it smack right on the screen. I've looked for signs of a cracked LCD, I've never actually seen a phone with a cracked LCD, only digitizer, and I don't see any 'leaking' colors or discoloration, any dead pixels or anything, it's just a normal cracked phone. However, sometimes when I try to text, message, or write something, some of the buttons (Often the N and G button) doesn't work and it always presses the button next to them, I have to turn it in landscape mode for me to press the N and G buttons, but other buttons doesn't work, so it led me to the conclusion that certain parts of the screen does not respond. However, very rarely does the phone work perfectly, if not for the cracked screen, I can press every button just fine, and the phone doesn't press buttons by itself.
What does this mean? Does this mean the LCD is damaged? as far as I know, weird color display is the only symptom of LCD damage...will getting the digitizer fixed solve these problems?
TL;DR: Some parts of the screen do not work most of the time, phone presses button by itself, will replacing digitizer fix it?
If you have the insurance option and pay the 100 dollar deductible take it because I have read other posts were they have tried a replacing the digitizer and something else would go wrong like a burnt 4G card.

Nope, don't have any insurance, the Rezound is my second phone, with the original Motorola Droid being my 1st, and I have never dropped it so I was in over my head when I bought my rezound D: so is that a yes, that I need to replace my LCD, along with my digitizer??

Should not. If the display is clear with no lines or colors fading, digitizer is all you need.

Digitizer is all he would need, but would recommend replacing them both as a whole. Makes the process much easier, and isn't that much more expensive ($60 on eBay for a LCD + digitizer assembly). Don't have to worry about dust getting trapped under the digitizer when replacing it.
Good evening!
My S3 has just fallen down. Now only physical buttons, back and menu are working. Screen has no physical damage but the digitalizer is not getting ANY of my touch. This makes me thing that it can be the internal connections. If it was broken I believe some screen zones would be still recognised. Then, I believe (and hope) digitalizer is in a well state. What are your thoughts about this?
Apart from this, how can I open the phone to check the connection. I've seen videos in which they replace the screen but I don't know if I can follow this procedure since, if it is still working, I don't know if I could re-glue it again.
Please, what can I do?
Thanks!

It is very possibly your digitizer can be broken but not show any physical damage. If it happened right after a fall then this is a real possibility.
Do not try to pull the screen sections apart you will damage it. Get a new whole screen assembly
Thank you very much for the answer!. Could you please send me a reference of the whole screen assembly I need? You mean digitalizer plus lcd? just digitalizer? Could you provide me a good but cheap one?.

You will need the glass, lcd and digitizer. The term "whole screen assembly" should be enough.
Thanks for the info. I've seen prices of this replacement set and it's about 100$ (80€). I don't think I should pay so much for a 2-year phone. I am thinking about taking a Xiaomi redmi note 4g for 169€.

Yer it is pricey, atleast in my country almost just as expensive to by a new s3 rather than get a new screen when you way up the aspects of a new phone plus the warranty
