Hi everyone! Im having a slight issue with my Motorola Atrix 4G. I admit I dropped it in a puddle, or rather I had it in its clip on my belt and the clip got stuck open and when I got out of my work vehicle PLOP! I immediately turned it off removed the otterbox and removed the battery. Then I shook out the water got home and put it in rice. after a few days I tried to turn it on and all I got was a white screen. My fiancée took it apart and cleaned all the connections. we turned it on and it worked! Well sort of. My screen now has a cauliflower pattern of multicolored pixels going from the top of my screen to about three quarters of the way down. when I unlock my screen the colors aren't right. can anyone give me ideas about what is wrong?
Lucky you! It still works!
Humidity has got into the layers of the screen, afaik, you should get a new one!

Hey guys, I recenty activated my backup 3D because my primary somehow got a deep scratch in the screen (so much for gorilla glass...) the phone is brand new and had hboot 1.5 and got it downgraded to 1.4. Well on the stock I noticed a brighter portion of the screen and it looks almost like a bubble, the middle of the screen looks great but when using a app with a dark background there is a bright ring around the whole edge of the screen (maybe .25 inches around the whole screen) and I am not sure what to make of it. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?
I had this problem on my evo 4g, although it doesn't pose any sort of issue with the phone, its a stress mark. They occasionally happen in your pocket where something has pushed down on the screen.
Other than it being an eye sore, there's nothing wrong with the screen.
(Sprint store informed me in my situation that since my screen was too perfect they would only replace it if I was OK with having a sub-par used screen with scratches.
No Fox you can reemplace screen to Fox however actually uf it os too annoying
Hit the thanks Button if i Helped

Not sure how that's possible because it is a new phone and has never been activated. Kind of sucks because I am very OCD with my electronics and that scratch in my other screen came from no where and it really pisses me off... Guess I just have to live with it or go back to the scratched screen.
I thought this phone had Gorilla Glass? I never had a screen protector on my OG Evo and that thing went through hell without a single scratch...
I thought the same thing about my evo 4g, apparently it just happens. My 4g was only a week old when it happened.
I'm so OCD about my phones they have a dedicated pocket that nothing else goes in to, I wont activate my phone without a screen protector, and I wont go more than a week without an otterbox case lol. Stress marks were a mystery to me as well
Hi there,
my girlfriend smashed her Galaxy S3 sometimes. Now it's done, the glass is broken in the upper left corner. The screen worked fine. A few days later she dropped it and dropped it again... i think she needs some wooden sticks to make a bushfire to call her friends. After some drops the screen stopped working fine. The screen turns black and if i push the upper left side a bit, the screen apears... very purple. I watched some tutorials about replacing the glass'. So i opend the galaxy s3 checked the ribboncables and after reasembling the screen won't start anymore. The softkeys doesn't apears. The phone is booting and make sounds. That means, power is there but no power for the display. I only want to now if the display is okay or not, to buy a new glass. But now i have these power problem. Somebody know how i can fix it? Or do i need a new display with digitizer? It's not cheap... a glass is much ceaper .

Multiple posts on the subject including a you tube video on replacing .You need to search them and decide .
Accessories may have more information .

Not sure how that happened...
Thanks in advance for looking.
Ordered a screen replacement for my wife's busted S3 screen. Got it, followed directions....got the area around the headphone jack a little too warm, but continued and finished removing the screen. Once I had the screen off, I thought it would be a good idea to power it up to make sure everything was working, especially the top left corner of the screen that was closest to the over heated spot.
To my skeptical surprise everything was cool. Took a picture, looked at some higher res pictures....just to make sure everything seemed normal, to which it did. Powered down, removed the battery and the SIM card and continued on.
I cleaned the screen with alcohol as the directions stated, put everything back together..and NOTHING. The thing is bricked. Any ideas how? I wasn't doing anything remotely related/close to the ROM. The only difficulty I had with any part of this (aside from the aforementioned over heating) was with the two ribbon buttons at the bottom, which got slightly tangled in the tape.
Before I attempt to 'unbrick' this does anyone have any other ideas? Battery is good, phone has been plugged/unplugged while attempting to power up....I didn't take anything else apart so I can't think of anything else that would have goofed up this phone.
If your LCD was broken a new bit of glass wouldn't fix it. It's almost impossible to change just the glass without damaging the digitizer. Most alcohol will destroy an LCD so cleaning it with that is a terrible idea. If you plug your phone into a computer see if it connects, that will at least tell you that the phone is still working, just broken display.

Awesome. Per the instructions: "clean screen with Isopropyl alcohol to remove any excess glue"
Plugged in or otherwise, I get no LEDs, vibrations....nothing. Wondering if a jtag would even be worth it?
I helped a friend repair the glass on a Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) and after getting it all put back together, the screen looks gray when it's powered off. It's hard to explain, but I've uploaded a video of it in action for you to see:
http://youtu.be/dy3qAD_YzXE
When the phone is turned off, the screen is black like it should be. But when the phone is powered on, and you turn the screen off with the side button, it looks gray and like it's still turned on. We used a heat gun to pull the cracked glass away from the lcd, and used a infrared thermometer to make sure we didn't get it too hot. Just looking for some ideas of what could be causing this. I'm hoping it will work itself out, but I have my doubts. Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated.
*edit*
I wasn't there when the screen cracked from being dropped, so I'm not sure if the phone was doing this after the drop, or just after we replaced the glass. I'll update as I find out more about its condition before being brought to me. The battery was dead when it got to me, and I didn't think to check the phone's functionality before starting the repair. I was under the impression everything still worked and just had a spider webbed screen from a drop.
Try factory reset and flash a 4.1.2 stock rom, but sounds like a damaged display.
Hey guys I have recently noticed there is a small dark spot on my device's screen, I don't know why and how did it happen besides the battery is swollen, that's not recent though, but yesterday I realised the battery was more swollen than before and I could see weird colors on the screen, so I took off the rear case of the phone so it wouldn't screw up the screen, everything was OK after I took off the case - no more weird colors, but then so, the next day I turned on my phone and I saw a dark spot on right upper corner of the screen, kinda next to the phone's battery slot, it's not really a big spot though but it bothers me, so now I'm wondering if the battery leaked and the fluids of it went to the LCD, but I have checked it many times and I haven't seen it leaking, what did happen to my screen? Is there anything I can do to remove this annoying spot from it?
Anyone?
Yesterday my tablet would not charge very much. This morning the screen looks like one which has a crack in it. It's pixilated and looks like black ink is running inside. There are no cracks and it has not been dropped. Screen is getting worse as the day goes on. Does anyone have a solution? Could it be the battery?
