Hi Xda'ians,
I have a problem with my Galaxy tab GT-7510 and would like your help/opinion/advice ...
Today, my galaxy tab screen started showing weird colors. I mean that all the black colored letters, black backgrounds had a reddish color. I have attached the snapshots of the screen image that indicate the problem. As you can see it's really difficult to use the tablet due to this problem.
I had a chat with the samsung support and they willing to check my tablet but alas, my warranty had expired and they informed me that I would have to pay 200$ for them to evaluate,replace parts and ship the tablet to me.
So questions to all --
1) Do you think it is worth paying $200 and getting my tablet repaired or is it better to get a new tablet ???
2) Has anyone experienced such a problem before and how did you get it resolved ??
3) Is there any way I can fix this problem myself with the minimal expenditure ??
Any suggestions by the community would be really very helpful !!!
PS: I have checked out videos of how to replace the screen but not sure which part needs to be replaced (i.e., digitizer/screen or LCD or some other component)
Thank you all for your help in advance !!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update :
I tried flashing a stock 3.1 image on the tablet but the red color still appears. I have attached another image of the problem.
Have you tried a different ROM? Is it possible its software related?

Thanks for the suggestion, Beezer80. I tried flashing the 3.1 stock image but this does not remove the red tinge problem...

Nope, flashing roms do not help as it seems to be a LCD issue. Need to open my tab up to check ..
get an ipad

I had the same problem and some people I know as well. I tried everything to fix, from using the hair drier to leaving in in the refrigerator for 30 mins. Nothing works.
Please note that noone complains about ipads, and they are very good with warranties. If I ever get another tablet, it will be ipad.

Hello guys,
after flashing batista70's ROM, I started to notice that on the default wallpaper, there was heavy color banding, as if the bit rate of the colors dropped.
For example when I use the microbes live wallpaper, the microbes are much bigger and it looks like it's zoomed in, plus the dark background, instead of having some smooth grey areas has a net separation between black and dark grey.
I've tried flashing stock ROMs back, but it didnt fix the problem.
Do you think that if I send it to samsung saying that it happened after I updated it via Kies, are they gonna fix it?

If something happened to any hardware component of your phone, they will fix it.. But only if you pay, unless you use a JIG to reset the custom binary counter...
I can't imagine why a ROM should damage your phone, you should try to flash another kernel...

Funny this, I have the same problem after changing screens (so a hardware, not software, change). Did you guys find out what's causing this?

possibly display drivers issue?

That user suggested a re-flash
Any news on this issue? I just changed my cracked screen, and when I plugged the new one and turned the phone on, image was perfect, then 1 second later it went all strange, with heavy horizontal banding.
I didn´t have a chance yet to flash new FW because my S2 has a broken power flex button, I´m waiting the replacement one to arrive in the mail, but I would like to know beforehand if this may be just a software problem. If it´s hardware, I think I´m screwed.
Thanks!
I have rooted my I9100 GT model several times, this is for the first time facing the challenge after installing some fonts using root manager on 4.1.2 leaked stock rom.
I went to samsung service centre last day and they tried by changing LCD display without having any serious test. still the problem is there, I reverted back to my original screen. I tried many official/custom roms. Now my screen often goes all pink for a split second. Some times the screen looks fine sometimes like purple/pink ink spilled here and there..Even the authorised service centre guys don't know to resolve..:crying:
Any idea anyone faced this challege?? Please help me to solve this issue..plzzzzzzzz
Still no solutions, suggestions, replies

I already checked that but no use all colours worked well..(RGB). I guess this is a type of LCD bleeding problem. Has anyone here know about that. Any info about the LCD digitizer..
For a couple of weeks,my display is acting strange, getting darker and darker. It started with a yellow line in the top right corner, who go bigger and bigger,covering the whole screen now. I found on google other persons with this "yellowish screen" issue, and it seemed to be a faulty lcd. The problem on my phone is that besides the yellowish screen,it has very dark shadows too, making everything almost imposible to use. I also noticed that after i lock the phone, the yellowish blur dissapears for half a second, like nothing happened; also, i can see "remains" of some apps that i used, like a name from my sms conversation,along with the call and attachment button,even if i closed the app, the lock ring,my keyboard,etc. I would appreciate your help,thanks!
P.S some photos attached,sorry for bad quality.
I had the same thing after my phone fall on the floor. Screen replacement will help....

Nope,sorry dude.But if you live in Romania(Like me ),I recommend you to simply buy a new screen from eBay,as it would be more expensive to go to a service center.

My V10 H901V20L now the sencond sreen turns off with the main screen too. Means when I turned off the main screen, the second screen went off too, and I can't do anyting with the second screen too. I have tried so many ways ( like turn OFF and ON again both in Settings > Display > Second Screen, flash many differentce roms after 4wipes) and it doesn't work.

Can you expland me more. Cause the sencond screen works perfectly when the main screen ons.
You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

This is crazy... it's probably something simple to some of the guys on here?. Oh well I'll just see if the seller will accept that it's faulty and send me another one. How did you get sorted or didn't you?

Unluckily, I got this phone from my friend and it broke after a few time, so I can't send it back to my friend and have to find a solution.
Some say that an harware issues. But I cant get it. The second screen works perfectly with the main screen, but lights out. @@

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
Hey guys, my Vince display broked and I change this for one that I buy on Gearbest, the quality is nice, same original, but a lot of ROMs doesnt work on this, the touch stop and a padlock appears on left side, this is a driver problem ? Has a solution for It ?
