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!

typical problem with the touch pro...because its a slider you probably need to replace the flex cable from mother board to screen, i had same problem with mine i thought at first it was the digitizer but dont be fooled.
back up the pim file on the computer and see if you can get the phone replaced under warrenty would be my suggestion.
Not sure if you have fixed the problem yet or not but I just recently had this same issue. I replaced the phone under warranty and before I sent it back I installed MyMobiler to navigate the phone and save any files I wanted to keep locally on my PC. Obviously activesync saved all my contacts and whatnot as well.
The sad part was I had only had the phone a month and 2 weeks so they couldn't give me a brand new replacement since it was over the 30 days, so I had to settle for a Re-Man. blah
Oh well good luck mate!
I have the same problem. I just called tech support and had them sent me a new one. Something that may elongate your use before you get it replaced, press down on the screen between the lower buttons and the LCD screen (the Verizon logo). It seems that the more that i do it, the worse it get, but slowly. Here is a video of me making it work.
Good luck!
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.
Thanks so much.
edit: 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
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.
HI everyone My Xperia Mini Pro worked just fine, then one day the screen remained black after unlocking it... it still worked, i could feel the touch and vibrations, i could basicly do everything just that i wasn't able to see it. After some shaking, pressing, sliding the keyboard out, it came back to its normal state, but would go black again if i pressed it hard and hold...Now the screen is always black. I hadn't really dropped it, it wasn't exposed to high temperatures, it just happened......i took it to some service centers and they have changed the flex cable a few times but didn't work..they assumed it was a hardware issue.....My warranty's long out.....WHAT SHOULD I DO???...Is there a chance that a screen change might help it and what would it cost me? please help

You have to replace the screen of course . Not very expensive i think .

hey, everyone...
quick question to see if anyone has come across this particular issue.
i've been running dirty unicorns, toast kernel alex uses for that rom.
woke the phone up yesterday am after spending the night on the charger.
still plugged in, i checked the time.
pushed the power button again to put it back to sleep.
nothing...the screen stayed on, but frozen.
unplugged it from the charger, screen powered down.
haven't been able to get the screen back on.
strangely, the home, menu, back and search buttons do manage to light up, though.
oddly, enough...the phone still works normally.
i can guess as to what my security pattern is, hit the magnifying glass to power up google now and ask it questions.
i can also receive phone calls and swipe to take or hang up the call as usual.
once on the call, i can guess as to where the red bar is for hanging up.
phone works like normal...as long as i can guess as to where everything is.
also, when in lock screen mode i can side swipe to get to the camera and take pictures.
so, essentially, screen doesn't work...but, it still recognises and accepts touch input.
i just can't see a damn thing.
any idea?
took it to a sprint corp store and they changed the housing for me...for free.
changed the screen, top housing, etc.
they said it looks like it might be the board.
any ideas beyond that?
thanks again, everyone!
also, on a weird note...my battery is bulging in the middle.
i guess it's on the way out...with everything else.
I've had this phone for years and am having this issue too. Anyone have an idea?
yeah, it turns out that my screen's fried.
at least that's what the sprint tech told me.
pretty much everything works perfectly.
impeccably...i just can't see it.
i guess that's it for the phone unless i want to replace the screen.
they're rather inexpensive...depending on where you source it from.
I have Xperia z3. When I turning on phone Lcd light on but screen blank. I can heat sound and so on. Digitizer when pressing is working as I hear nose. But screen still blank. | tried few screens but still same. What it can be????
Please help.....
This is the Z3v forum not the Z3 forum.
I would say a screen failure though.
Verizon has open enrollment right now so you can enroll in a insurance plan and get another phone, if yours is out of warranty.
Your Display is dead - Had the same problem.
Everything worked fine just my screen wouldn't show me anything. Ultimately I replaced the display by myself because I didn't have any warranty and now it's working again.
You could try to send it back to your vendor or order a new screen (70-100€) from ebay and replace it yourself.
Good luck!
Hello,
I guess I have the same problem:
I got a Z3 one year ago.
But spontaneously the screen just stayed black.
I can boot the phone, the backlight is working. I wait a little bit but the screen is still black.
BUT I can touch and select camera and take a photo. I know, because I can hear the sound of camera. I can open the dial pad and dial a number, I can hear the different sounds.
The phone is original, have never been opened, no other software.
I already tried with "Xperia Companion" to install latest updates and repair the phone. Nothing worked.

Did a screen replacement solved your problem?
A feedback how the problem was solved would be great because I don't wanna buy an expensive screen if anything else is broken in phone.
