Does anyone have any experience with dead screens? My phone inadvertently had a magnet fall on it. At first there were vertical scanlines along with yellow discoloration, now the screen will not function at all (besides touch response). Applying pressure at the top of the phone will cause some pixels to activate occasionally, though they activate when the screen is off and do not correlate to what would be on the screen normally anyway.

Hero Screen Anomaly:
I found this out purely by chance. The sensitivity of the screen on the HTC Hero severely decreases when the phone is laid on a flat surface,with normal G-Sensor calibration.
However, if you place the phone upright and calibrate the G-Sensor such that the phone "thinks" it's on a flat surface, the screen sensitivity becomes normal when the phone is again laid on a flat surface. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this by any chance a power saving feature?
mine does the same thing. I think it has something to do with the accelerometer conflicting when laying down, which causes it to not respond to a press of the finger.
Yes, I've noticed the same thing. Specially on the right edge of the screen.
Right edge? Interesting. So it might not be a power saving feature? Ha-ha. Guess it's not that much of an annoyance to you guys too?
My SGS2 screen tilts SLIGHTLY to the right. Once I started to notice this I see this every time I use the phone, and it's getting very annoying.
Is someone else experiencing the same problem? Is this something you would send the phone in to service because of?
Can you provide a photo of your phone showing the problem?
I know of no software issue that causes this (there is a Google Egg that hangs the phone screen output slightly to the right).
It sounds like you could have a hardware screen issue but it would have to be showing on all screens, be that the Home screen or when running any Apps/Games.
I don't know if you can see it. If you look at the bottom of the screen it might be noticeable to you. It's the same way in every screen, so I think it's a hardware problem. It tilts slightly to the right.
Sorry, I can't see any tilt from that photo.
I also measured the angle of the bottom edge of the screen and the Home button.
They are both in alignment with each other.
When the screen is switched off you should see the outlining edge of the display.
Now when you switch on the screen does it fit to this?
It seems to be that to whole frame is is a BIT crooked. I don't know how I can show this accurately when it doesn't show that much.
Are you sure it's not your eyes deceiving you?
Try taking a few more shots (close in at the bottom) and then load the shots up on your PC and look closer...... Try and measure the angle against say the bottom of the phone to see if there is any discrepancy.

I've been staring at the photo for like one minute now. And I don't see it. Maybe if you go closer with the camera?
I can see it the top leans to the right, like the frame is not correct. defo faulty
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using a ruler? Or a measuring tape (like the free paper ones you get at Ikea if you are afraid of scratching it).
I just did a measurement of my screen to the edge of the outside bezel... Starting from bottom to top..
Bottom from both corners of the screen to the outside bottom bezel: 1.55cm +/- 0.025cm
Bottom of both sides of screen to the outside bezel: 0.45cm +/- 0.025cm
Top of both sides of screen to the outside bezel: 0.45cm +/- 0.025cm
Top from both corners of the screen to the outside top bezel: 1.55cm +/- 0.025cm
Never knew this before, but the screen is dead center of the phone..
I also took a measurement of the diagonal: 4 1/4" or 10.25cm +/- 0.025cm
Height: 9.30cm +/- 0.025cm (both sides)
width: 5.55cm +/- 0.025cm (top & bottom)
My Galaxy S II is perfectly aligned.. I do admit though, after you said it, I felt it was crooked... That's why I ended up taking the above measurements --
my z2 sreen cracked this morning. the screen lights up alright, and the lower left corner of the screen is responsive to touch, the rest of the screen is dead to touch. Theres a crack that run across the screen from the lower right corner to almost center of the screen at the top.
What i want to know is, do i change the LCD+touch screen or just the touch screen. Please help.

I think you don't have to replace the LCD display, just the glass. And the touchscreen is integrated in the glass
So, I have the HTC Desire 610 and i have had it for around 5 months now. I use a body glove case that sometimes comes off in my pocket. However, on the actual phone there is a "dead spot" which is a vertical line about a finger width in width going down the right side of my screen. it does not respond to touch, but acts like i am pressing both sides simultaneously on either side of the column. Also, the rest of the screen is becoming less responsive, requireing multiple taps to select something. Why? How do i fix this?
This is a common problem a lot of people have and the simply don't know why. Under the screen is something called a digitizer, which maps where you fingers are and sends the data to your phone, telling it what to do when you touch it. If it gets damaged, you get things like unresponsive spots on the screen and sometimes the screen will go crazy, and go all over the place. A new digitizer is needed, although there hard to put in and time consuming, so I recommend getting a new screen entirely.
Hey guys, recently my moto z had its battery replaced but when I got home I noticed that the top left of the screen had this white splotch that looks like sunshine shining thru. The screen and touch in that area work fine there's just this "aura" or "glow" I'm attaching a picture to help.
Could be a pressure mark or affects from heat pack to melt glue to get rear case off.
Either way you're not gonna calibrate it out ??
It's surely a burn mark caused by excessive heat from the screen removal process. Unlike lcd screens which turn off pixels and return to normal function when cooled off, oled display pixels just die... Some phones get those kind of marks from the cpu overheating the display from under it.
