Hey could someone help me diagnose whats going on with my Galaxy Tab 10.1?
I haven't used it in a few days. I knew it was dead. So I went to charge it. It turned on
and the screen is showing crazy ****ed up lines and flickering. I cannot get to recovery or download mode.
My wife says its this "Carbon Rom" that I installed. I say bull****. If it was, I would be able to at least see recovery mode.
To me it seems the video card or screen, whatever produced the picture got screwed up. Please take a look at the pic and let me know what you think. Can this be fixed? Whats the cost? Is this something I can fix or do I need to go to a repair shop?
Is there a warranty on these things? Its a year old. If I send it to Samsung, will they be able to tell a custom rom was flashed which will void the warranty? Im guessing so... Someone please help im sad
The picture is attached.
Thanks for any help. Appreciated

Its been sitting for 5 minutes now and I went to turn on and it shows a White screen now.
This seems like definite damage. The only things I could think it would be is last Saturday I was sitting by the pool reading
and I cover it back up with my flip case, had it sitting on the chair while I was swimming. It was fine after that though.
Last time I used it, it was Tuesday and it was fine. The only other thing is if my daughter got a hold of it... But there's no way to tell
either way if these were the cause. Any thoughts?
I remember someone posting a topic with the same issue like a yezr zgo or so, i can't find this topic anymore, the problem was with the screen or the cable of your screen, i think he had to replace his LCD screen

Seems in my opinion that you have a screen fault. Maybe it was caused by you without your knowledge or it is a manufacturing defect. It us really hard to say but a screen replacement should fix the problem.

Thank you for your reply.
So you think its the screen, same here. But im doing some you tubing and see that the screen is pretty much just a piece of clear cover that
goes over the lcd screen. I will need a new lcd screen, correct? Is it worth taking apart and checking the cables?
Theres no cracks or damage to the physical screen so it has to be internal.
If anyone can find a link, please let me know. Thanks for your help!
What do you think it would cost to fix at a repair shop? and / or samsung vs. joe blows repair shop?

Screen replacement or LCD replacement? The screen has no physical or visible cracks/damage.
Thanks for your reply!

Maybe it something from the inside so there will be no visible damage.

Every few minutes when i'm using the phone the screen will lock up. The screen will either go back being responsive in about 30 seconds but it is a big irritation. I bought this phone secondhand completely stock and it exhibits this problem. Has anyone encountered this problem before and if you have how did you fix it?

What color is the sticker under the battery cover?
There isn't a sticker.

That its a clear indication the phone was dropped in some sort of liquid by the previous owner. There should be a small sticker inside - white means everything is ok and pink means it was dropped in liquid. Looks like someone was trying to hide something by removing it.
Well that sucks. Anything that I can do to fix the phone that does not involve the original owner?

I've heard you can get a replacement from samsung but I'm afraid I don't gave any helpful details that would help. You could try calling tmobile and asking to speak to a customer loyalty rep. Not sure if it will help but is worth a shot.
Hope someone can help me with this as it is a bit of a strange 1.
I recently replaced the digitizer screen on my X10i because the one that was on there was smashed up good.
Everything went together ok and it all switched on ok but for some reason only half of the screen will work(the bottom half). exactly half way through the screen/digitizer when it is vertical, it stops working. The top half does not work. The digitizer and everything else is in perfect condition so I am very confused as to what it could be.
I have replaced 100's of screen in the past and have never come across this problem.
Is it possible it could be a software issue? Does the software need to be re-calibrated to suit the screen? sounds a bit odd to me but ya never know.
Any help would be great.
thanks
Nobody can help me with this??

Considering the above, last thing to try is to factory reset the phone. If that doesn't fix it, its a hardware issue.
hello.
I've got serious problems. Today I get in the car and watched the latest messages on my phone. then suddenly the screen began flickering and everything was getting over bright. So I thougt that a reboot would help. totally wrong, Tried to reboot but the samsung boot screen turn purple with blueish tinted letters. Then my heart goes crazy because I tought I bought a phone with a decent quality. And now the screen is just past away!! Why Samsung, Why?? Tried to boot several times. Phone starts up so I made a backup from the SD card but there's no working screen. I feel horrible now. because now i have to wait untill it's monday so i can call Samsung for an RMA and then just wait a couple of weeks. 2 weeks without my S3. This is just like rehab in a nightmare...
Does somebody here have experience with a faulty screen?
p.s.
Phone never dropped on ground, never. Always have TPU case with touchscreen-protector
Lightning is not covered under warranty .

Did you take an insurance when you bought your phone?

that lightning strike was just for fun. It wasn't hit by lightning. No i don't have insurance on my phone. This is a fault of Samsung?? not mine? How can i destroy my display driver myselve? that's impossible.
Funny joke... very descriptive. The only reason I read it was to see how u managed to get ur phone struck by lightning and still managed to post about it...

OT
will it be covered under warranty? On a dutch forum I read several cases with broken screen. most of them in a couple of weeks after the release.
If this will be every 5 months I want my freaking money back because I don't gonna sent my phone 4 times in 2 years. and after that I have to gonna pay myselve for the repair. That's rediculous. Even the S2 would last longer. This is such a shame for samsung. Monday I will call customer service and then I will explain the whole story and then they have to repair it as soon as it gets.
I have the flickering screen problem as well. It happens when the screen turn off (time-outed and manually) and turn on again. Anyone has the same problem? I wonder if it is a hardware or software problem?

that's not the flickering i mean. But I know your problem. It's software related. It get's dimmed when you push the home button right after time-out.

If you screen or display is not working its warranty . If your screen is broken or cracked its not warranty .
If you have custom rom or root or rom counter above zero warranty is void .

Not dimmed actually, The screen is like the magnetic field noise when we put our dialing cellphone near to CRT monitor last time. Sorry for my bad english.
they can't even see the binary counter because of the screen that's broken .
But I think I did reset my binary counter already 2 months ago. after that I only did flashes with CWM. Not Odin.
p.s. Does it count flashes with CWM? I think it only counts when you load via odin.

You're kidding right? I hope you are LMAO!!
No I'm serious.. How can they watch binary counts when display is not working anymore?? Simple right?? Here in the Netherlands there are several cases with people that have rooted S3's with broken screen. They all get a new phone. If they could see the binary counter. They wouldn't send out new phones right??
A defective unit , after reading countless posts about defective units i am doubting about samsung's quality ....

Hello, same problem here but only when auto brightness and power saving mode (any combination of options checked) are on, which I just recently noticed since on dark background you wouldn't see it. Software bug?
So it looks like a small part of the top of my screen is dead, already tried everything and no luck, The draw line test shows about a 10% of the screen not working. I think this might be a hardware problem, but not sure.
If its the hardware, is it possible to only replace the Digitizer glass, without replacing the LCD screen?
Where can I buy the part (hopefully Original, I read that third party replacements are usually disappointing, because of quality.)? I tried searching in ebay and amazon and was only able to find for the HTC one X not the plus version.
Is it too hard to replace or i'm better saving for a new phone?
Do you mean the area where the status bar is? My HOX+ also doesn't recognize touches there. It happened suddenly 5 months ago when I was playing games . However, I used to it and it is not a big problem, I will give it to repair when I get on vacation .
I already made some researches on the internet and it is not an uncommon problem for touch screens. Yes, it is the digitizer's fault.

Exactly the same problem, upper part of the screen (all notification bar). I have an OCD and this tiny things bug me a lot. I guess now I need to find a digitizer to replace it, the problem is that on ebay and other sites there are not HOX+ available, all are for the HOX.
Is there any difference between HOX and HOX+ digitizers? I thought both got the same screen.
I'm not an expert so I won't fix it on my own, better send it back to service .
Btw. I've read one time that you can put a piece of paper between the bezel and grill to clean some mess up which could get inside the phone. I was wondered that I was able to slip the paper there, but it didn't work .

yes it will work, but you can't only change the digitizer, it's too hard glued together. I broke my LCD connector while replacing the screen although
I was really careful, so it's not as easy as everyone says.
Thx, i will keep that in mind.
Hello. Today I get SGS3 from my aunt. SGS3 fell on floor. At first there was some white lines, then half of screen became blue, then the LCD shut down. It isn't working now.
I have a question. Could anything else be broken? I opened phone and i see, that there isn't nothing that could "destroy" LCD.
P.S. Phone boot up, I hear the sound, no view on screen.
You won't know until you replace the screen assembly, probably easier to buy a new phone.
