I recently replaced the screen on my LG E970. I can get the phone to turn on. I hear the LG boot noise and see the bottom icons light up but the screen stays black. I can touch on the screen and hear it making noises but cant see anything. Ive tried removing the battery, waiting and reseating it. Checked the internal connections all seem fine. I tried a hard reset(holding power + vol down) or thought I did(hard to tell not being able to see screen). I cant get anything to show on screen. Any help would be great! Thank you.

Hi All,
I have an LG Optimus G E970 on the AT&T network, all stock. I recently dropped it and, of course, the digitizer glass cracked. The screen still worked just fine, and I could turn it on and off without a problem but no touch at all. As I was trying to shut it down without using any buttons by just holding the power button, it started acting strangely. I would turn it off (screen timeout) by just pressing on the power button, but when I would wake it up (by again pressing the power button) the cap. buttons on the bottom would light up, but the screen would stay dark. I chalked it up to the digitizer being messed up.
I have since installed a new screen/digitizer assembly, and it works great when I turn on the phone. However, as soon as the screen goes to sleep, I get the same problem - cap. buttons light up, but the screen stays black. All the buttons are working, as I can here them clicking, and I can turn up the volume, etc, I just can't get the screen itself to light up.
Has anyone run across this problem, or have any suggestions? I've already, reluctantly, tried a hard reset, which did not solve the problem, as well as any other little fixes that I found in this and other forums. I'm thinking it's a software issue of some sort, since the screen and everything work great when the phone is on, but I don't really know. I wanted to see is there were any answers out here before I tried rooting and installing a new ROM, which might be problematic anyways if the screen doesn't come back on.
TIA,
George G.
My galaxy S3 is showing a very weird problem. I was using the phone and before reaching home the battery when completely flat. When I arrived home and plugged the phone to the wall charger the screen remains dark, black. Now the battery is full charged (green light) but the screen remains to the same estate. When someone calls me the phone rings. When I plug it to the computer I can see the files inside the different drives. I reinstalled the OS that is 4.3 but still same problem. I didn't drop the phone and It didn't have any shock.
That is weird. I am thinking of a dead screen but before going for a chirgucal operation on my beloved phone I wanted to ask if that couldn't be a software problem.
Happy to hear from your experiences.
Boot into download mode, volume down + home then power button. If the screen is dead in download then it is hardware.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
never heard this type of problem
try to go into recovery and check if it displays anything
If successful do factory reset
In download mode i can see nothing. That is really weird. I am letting the battery drain completely and i will check. Thank you for your replies
I wanted to upgrade so far what i am getting. The screen while dark, black is reacting to touch actions: for exemple when i lock the phone with the power button i can hear the lock sound;when i unlock with the lide action on the screen, I can hear the unlocking sound. I think that must be a weird system problem. If the screen was broken will it react to such touch actions?
Lide=slide. I can actually take a call with the slide action on the screen. When someone calls me i just have to slide my finder at the proper place on the screen to take the call. I need help please.
Most probably its the hardware. Your LED seems to be ditching you. And yes a bad led can still response to touch despite of being black all the way. Actually it's the digitizer that responds to the touch NOT the LED itself.
In your cas3 so far from your feedback I can say that you are having a bad LED everything else including the digitizer is working well.

Thank you i w

Very strange problem. I have a LG G3 D855 for 1 and a half years now(rooted)
My phone was at a very low percentage, and I heared it go out. Happens to everybody, nothing strange so far.
I connected it to the charger and I turned it on, i heared the startup noise, but nothing happened. No pincode screen or unlock screen. Stuck at LG life is good screen. I actually was able to take a screenshot, i heared that sound when pressing power and volume down key. I know it is just right away from the main screen, but why is my screen freezing at startup logo? Tried to hard reset and clear all data, then I get a secure confirmation (verify) error. then my led starts to flash red and blue. Battery taking out and still no success.
How to fix this? Also screen is recognizing touch at the startup screen (when it fades away i click on it and it turns brighter)
EDIT: I blindly went into whatsapp and i am able to type and answer calls blindly wtf. Now I got a blue screen, everything is operational, the screen is blue now
Edit: I can actually blindly unlock my phone with my knock code, and hear messages coming in. The screen just freezes on life is good. I can hear it is unlocked wtf is this.
I have an LG g5 for about a year.. just an hour ago it randomly shut off well actually the screen became all pixelated and then when I turned it off by pressing the power button and turned it back on its still pixelated. I removed the battery and re-inserted it.. tried putting it on charger but the same thing. The phone turns on but the LG logo and adroid logo are all pixelated.. it moves to the home screen and i can kind of see it showing draw a pattern but it isn't responding. Moreover, when the screen is displaying with this sort of pixelated images the top of the phone turns extremely hot and is draining battery very very fast. The light at the top of the phone is blinking fine, I can hear sounds and vibrations when i turn the volume up and down and when i connect my usb to the computer it recognizes it but I cannot go into the screen. What could be the issue?
so out of the blue my screen decided to stop responding to touch.
only thing i remember doing out of the ordinary today was change the screen size and font from small to large but doubt this could be the reason.
i was on a call and when it was time to end it i realized the "end" button wasnt disconnecting. after the person hung up on the other end i tried to navigate my phone and nothing.
thinking it was frozen i locked it with the power button and when i put it back on i could not unlock the screen.
i restarted with volume down and power... same thing.
rebooted to twrp with button combo.. no dice...
any ideas or suggestions? anyway to boot up to safe mode or something?
should i kdz ?

Seems a lot of V30 touchscreens are dying these days. Mine did last year. And check the discussion linked below:

I hope that's NOT what you're having, though.
