Just bought a new LCD to replace the old one (backlight failed) but the new one seems to have some defects. I don't recall seeing those when the failed backlight - but I'm not that sure because it was hard to see anything at all with no backlight.
I bet the LCD is defective but I would like to know someone else's option on this before I return the LCD. Could this be caused by something else on the cellphone or is it definitely the LCD?
See a short video (problem starts around 0:10)
Thanks!

I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from eBay, the seller stated that the LCD screen was "very dark" and not quite working right. When I received the phone it was far more then "very dark", half of the screen looks as if the LCD is leaking out or has been broken? The digitizer is mint and works and the phone its self is in AMAZING shape. NO scratches or chips or anything. It honestly looks brand new. I even tested the battery for usage and its showing up that this battery IS indeed brand new. Like I said it is mint so there is no possible way this phone was dropped. My first guess was a ROM issue, but I just noticed you can see the screen defect without the phone even being turned on. So what I am thinking is water damage. I read all over online about people having problems with there screens going black, this might also be the case. If it is water damage, does anyone know EXACT locations of indicators on the phone? I looked in the battery compartment and found nothing what so ever. I want to sell this thing today, (just received it in the mail) I need the cash so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction?? I uploaded photos below, the second one is with the phone turned off, the reflection is from my computer. For reference, it is the Samsung Galaxy SII 19100, with Bell Canada. Thanks in advanced!
I'm no expert but does not look like something you can fix yourself I'm afraid.
Send it back I say.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
send it back to whoever sold it
you kinda got scammed there, imho
See Im trying to figure out if the LCD was broken by physical damage or if this has happened before to people, because if its a manufacturing issue I can just send it back to Samsung and they will fix it no problem as long as this was caused on their part. If it WAS broken by the ebay seller, I might be better off buying a new lcd and installing it myself. I only paid $200CAD so it would be worth keeping if all thats wrong is the LCD. But like I said I would rather Samsung do it, lol its free.

Scratch that, the LCD is almost $200. Not worth buying and fixing. But does anyone know if this could be classified as a manufacturing issue? I can just send it in if it is?
anybody at all?? I just want to confirm that this could be a manufacturing issue, theres no water damage and the screen is not cracked from a drop any ideas would be awesome. I might just try to send it in to Samsung just to see what happens.
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?

The digitizer is for your pixel's if i recall. Can try to replace the LCD.
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.
My Transformer Prime is getting ghost touches recently and also i noticed that "The touch" doesnt work at 15% of the screen on the right side. Which should be replaced Digitizer or LCD?? pls help me!!!!
This is fairly old, but I recently solved those same problem for me so I figured that answering this might be useful to others:
1. Ghost touches: this is a hardware problem, the digitizer must be replaced. But this is fairly tricky, so it might be much easier to replace the whole LCD + digitizer assembly (easily found on ebay). It more expensive, but less risky...
2. The sides of the screen not responding to touch: as far as I can tell this is a software problem. Here is how I solved it:

But this solution doesn't work for everybody apparently. So all I can say for sure is that:
- replacing the LCD/digitizer doesn't fix this particular problem. It doesn't seem to be hardware related.
- it can be solved one way or another...
anybody have any solutions?
Hi All
Just started to buy up some old (spare or repair) I9100 phones with the hope of getting at least one which would work fully. I now have the final product but still no working screen! The screen I have looks perfect but shows nothing, I've tried the following:
Shine torch on screen to see if the LCD is damaged (nothing)
putting the screen on a second S2 (nothing, but it is not known if the second one actually works beyond making the right noises on start up)
Cleaned off all the connectors
I really don't want to take the screen off the frame so I wanted to know if anyone knows about testing/fault finding on the LCD with a multimeter type set up, like maybe a pin out or test points. Failing this I'm thinking of selling it all back on, so with that in mind does anyone have any advice on the IMEI and what to advertise.
oh and I've got some reasonable images of the LCD connector and some of the resistors which can be seen through the viewing ports in the frame for possible continuity tests.
Thanks in advance.
