Sorry I posted this in the wrong section last time:
Hey guys, my screen cracked and while the glass didn't smash it did get busted up and now there's a clear crack in the corner of the screen, so it doesn't turn on. It did at first but it was just lighting up green with Android in the background very distorted, now it doesn't at all.
Am I right in thinking a LCD+Digitizer part will solve this? I've tried phoning it and it works, I can talk on hands free and on the speaker after unplugging the headset, email alerts and such all work too. It's just the screen from what I can tell.
Just want to make sure other people think I'm right in assuming the phone will be fine with a new screen kit.
I forgot to turn USB debugging on so I can't adb into it, but the on device and SD card storage work fine when connected to my PC, all signs say it's just the screen that needs replacing.
Thanks so much.

hi guys, first of all thanks for all the great tips and information on this site.
i have had the Active for about 6 weeks. today while i was listening to music on the phone, the screen did not light up when i pressed the unlock button. the screen was totally blank but music continued to play.
i pulled the battery and although i got the haptic feedback after turning it on, the phone did not come back to life - well at least there were no signs of life on the screen.
the battery was (is) close to fully charged. when i plug it into the usb connected to a power outlet the led light comes on, but if i try and turn the phone on, after the initial vibration (and no sign of life) the led light disappears.
similarly when i plug it into a pc, the led light appears and thats it. the pc detects the disk drive (sort of) but when i click on the f: drive icon it says "please insert a disk into drive f:"
the phone is not rooted as it has the latest firmware and basically unmodified, i have installed very few apps.
any suggestions before i take it to the service centre?
edit: forgot to mention the pc companion does detect the phone, and asks me to change the usb connection status (by dragging down the status bar) but of course i can't...
update - the phone "works" inasmuch as i can play music using the original headset and using the headset control but no display.
although the screen remained blacked out, i managed to unlock it by swiping the screen and then pressing where i thought the music controls were - that seemed to work, i could skip tracks but that's about it.
so for now i have a rather expensive mp3 player with no screen and no controls - a bit like one of those ipod shuffles that only works with the headphones...
this is very disappointing seeing i owned a defy for over a year and it took an absolute beating and is still going (my son is happily using it). the whole reason for buying this was because i run 50-60km per week in singapore so i need something that can handle some pretty rough treatment
So apparently your phone has a faulty lcd. Just take it back to get a replacement

dude, I was about to reload the factory settings and after selecting this option, my phone went blank. I restarted - it started, got the starting animation, after that the unlock screen and after unlocking it, only a blank screen with wallpaper and status bar. panicking what to do, I decided to call somebody i knew who knew somebody in sonyericssona dn they told me to download the latest SE software suit, and it is possible to flash a cell phone following a specific procedure described in it. SO i did that and it flashed my mobile. So, if it will happen to you next time you can try to perform this nice procedure if it will be of any use.
thanks i tried that as well, and i managed to reinstall the firmware but i think as dumraden correctly pointed out, my screen is (somehow) fried. i have given it back for repair so let's see what they come back with.
hopefully it was just bad luck, the phone has not had much use and very little testing of it's so-called rugged capabilities.

try to guess which section questions go to
Mine too
When my GS3 drop down the screen went black eventualy, but it was possible to answer calls and do some things blindly . You have to chnage the creen i thing.
Be handy if you had a hdmi cable to test it.
Hello! So my Xperia Mini pro has been broken, it doesn't show any image anymore, I think there is a problem with the screen but I want a confirmation or recommendation to find out what the problem is.
First the screen "touch" capability stopped working, and then two weeks after that, the back and option buttons stopped working too. And a week after that ,there was like a screen "flickering" (I tried to recreate the problem in the attached image) when I tried to either open or close the slider.
Finally the screen stopped working anymore. I tried to connect the phone to the PC but says that windows cannot recognize the hardware. And there's one more thing: I can turn on the phone, it vibrates, but the keyboard lights seems that are not working, they are permanently off.. and when I try to Increase the volume it doesn't sound either... There is only the black screen and a backlight.
Please Help me to find out what is the problem, I'm thinking to buy a screen replacement on eBay, but some people told me that is the "flex" cable. I'm not sure if there is a fix for my phone's problem.
Thanks!
Hey there.
Based on my experience, yes, your problem is most likey a flex ribbon issue. Your flex has been ripping apart lately, causing many of its wires to break. This can cause a lot of unpredictable problems, such as a misbeheaving notification LED, inactive ambient light sensor, or "dead" display/touch digitizer. Your problems have gotten worse over time, which is clearly a symptom of a broken flex.
You phone is no longer booting up to android because the kernel no longer detects a proper "response" from the display driver and halts the bootup. This is why you can feel the phone vibrating when pressing the power button, but nothing else happens. Your screen assembly is fine, I can assure you that, unless your glass is broken, of course.
Here's one hell of a good teardown guide: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Sony+Ericsson+Xperia+Mini+Pro+SK17i+Teardown/7275
I used that very same guide when I repaired my own xmp. I regret messing with my screen assembly because I destroyed it and had to buy a new one, which is costly
Thank You so much for the advice ! Now I'll try to repair it, It doesn't seem too difficult. Thank You Again!!!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I recently dropped it and after that the screen is not turning on anymore. But everything else works fine. I can hear incoming calls and even can turn the phone on and off. But nothing is coming up on the display. Also I don't know how the touch seems to work as well. I can hear the sounds when I slide to unlock the phone and when I accidentally opens the keyboard, I can hear the typing. But unfortunately nothing is coming up on the screen. It looks as if the phone is off.
I have never rooted the phone. It is in the condition as it came out from the box. No tinkering at all.
Also one more thing, I thought to show it to a local mobile repair shop. the technician there told me that the screen is broken and it needs to be replaced which would cost me around Rs. 2500/- (~ $35).
Please Help. What should I do. If I have to change the screen then what will be the best place to buy one and for how much. A specific link for that would be much appreciated.
Also is there anyway by which I can project my phones screen on my PC so that i can still kind of use it.
P.S. : USB debugging is off.
Thanks to all!
My wife dropped her S6 edge a few months back and broke the back glass. Everything worked fine, though, until a few days ago when the screen suddenly stopped working. The screen displays two columns of alternating gray lines if the power button is held down for a few seconds or if the home button is pressed; otherwise the buttons seem to be non-responsive. Also, the left-most LED is illuminated solid purple almost all the time. I brought it to a repair shop, and they said it was a broken LCD. (Not sure why the LED would stay illuminated then, but whatever.)
I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to get the data off the phone without dropping $300 to replace the LCD. It's not rooted, and USB debugging isn't enabled. Also, she already got a replacent phone and swapped out the SIM, for what that's worth. I'm also 90% sure she never created a Samsung account and, in any event, i think it would be moot since she's swapped phones, no? Basically, I only really care about the pictures of our kids, but she unfortunately didn't have Google photos sent to sync, either.
Additionally, neither Windows Explorer nor Samsung Smart Switch recognizes it when you plug it in. I've tried attaching it to both a mouse and a keyboard via OTG adaptor to try to unlock the pass code (numerical, not pattern), but it doesn't seem like that worked because nothing happened after doing that and then plugging it into my computer. I was going to try the trick of hooking it up to my TV to mirror the screen, but I've read that the S6 Edge doesn't support MHL, so that seems like a bust.
Any and all thoughts greatly appreciated.
