Hello All,
So i bought a tmobile my touch that had a broken screen thinking it would be an easy fix... however only afterwards did i realize there were 2 parts to the LCD (digitizer too). So, i bought the two items off ebay and when i put it all together, the screen was not bright. there is full display but the screen isnt colorful and bright like it should be. i know the digitizer is responding fine too.
Is there a fix for this or is this due to lets say a, G2 lcd sent to me instead (and why would that lcd be different than the htc magic or mt3g?)?
Thanks for the responses and help in advance, just really trying to figure out what i should do next.
Thanks
so anyone know a reason that can cause this or if the G2 and mytouch LCD's are differnet and wouldnt work with one another?
thanks
g2 is the htc hero in europe.
but that doesnt mean the screen wouldnt work...
I'm pretty sure that the hero uses a glass display, while the G1 and Mytouch variants are hard plastic. It may be causing the issue. I'm sure that someone more familiar with the hero hardware will correct me if I am wrong.

Ok this one goes out to all you cool smart guys out there. I currently have two mt4g's. One is working perfectly fine with the "bad screen", as they call it, and the other is bricked, or no it has a failed pu is what someone told me, but it has the "good screen".
Anyway while just minding my own business on the internet one day I came across a video which shows you how to replace a lcd screen in a mytouch 4G! I was hooked. I could do this I said, it looked so easy! Sure you need some patience, which I got btw. So I was determined to do this, even ordered the tools from repairsuniverse. So about the fourth time watching the tutorial I began to wonder if it would be possible to just swap motherboards instead of disassembling all the way to the screen. Mostly because I still need a heat gun so i could remove the digitized then lcd screen.
So i guess my question is will swapping motherboards solve the pu problem in the mytouch with the good screen? And while I got you here has anyone ever replaced there lcd screen?? Is it worth it??

Yes, if you put the good motherboard in the case with good LCD, you'll get one good phone.
Thanks for the response! This will make the job so much easier

sorry to piggyback you post but i had a similar question....
a friend of mine is giving me their broken mytouch 4g. it was working perfect but then she dropped it on her kitchen tile (bottom right corner hit i'm told) and now it will not turn on at all.....no cracks or anything, just a scratch in the corner. she says she tried a new battery and tried plugging into AC but no lights, nothing.
i've taken apart enough phones so once I get it i'm not afraid to do some swapping of parts.
my question is, those of you who have worked on this model, any indication where you think would be the problem? i'm hoping the lcd/digitizer is fine since its not cracked but we'll see....and i figured maybe i would just need to do a motherboard swap worst case? is there any other components you think could be shot after the drop? from what i've been able to find its just the 1 main mother board , correct? (meaning there is not 2 parts)
thought MAYBE i'll get lucky after opening it up, and verifying all the cables that possible some cables got jarred loose and thats why it wont respond but not holding my breathe on that.
thanks for the help!
I´m so freaked out with my T9193, she stopped working... It has made me so sad, I really love my little jewel...
First I suffered the infamous unresponsive screen issue, but I had it repaired, actually it has a new OEM digitizer and LCD, but there is no output at all: the screen keeps blank (black). You can tell the phone is on because of the bright of the screen, the starting vibration an charging orange light...
I know it works because I Task29 it and flashed original shipped ROM (Telstra´s), and everything went ok as I could see in my laptop.
The main idea was to sell it as parts or very cheap in order to buy an Inspire 4G, but.... well you know what: it is a HD2! and even more, it is a T9193! Bought directly in Australia and shipped to my country... I feel like part of an elite jaja...
So, my question is, what do you think: an Inspire 4G or another T9193?....
Thnx
have you tried entering the bootloader? Maybe you should get it repaired. I suspect something is wrong with the motherboard. Alternatively, it could also be the case that the LCD is not working. I had the exact same problem with my Touch HD last time around. I sent it for repair(it was on warranty) and HTC changed the motherboard. Im sure repairing it is cheaper than getting a new HD2(unless you are going for a used one). Besides, you might wanna consider getting the evo 3d/galaxy s ii instead of the inspire 4g?(its your personal preference...but im just saying...) Hope your phone comes back alive in full glory! I know how it feels when your treasured device is in a coma. I experienced it with my Touch HD and i also experienced it with my HD2 recently, when it spun for 10 mins in the washing machine.But everything is ok and its breathing fire now!
Thanks for your comments kawshigan.
Actually I was able to flash it entering to bootloader (pressing volume down while turning on), but I couldn´t see it on the phone screen, so it seems to be just the LCD....I think...

well,if you were able to flash it,there is a high chance that the motherboard and the flash is working. So,it could be either the LCD or the BUS. But for the latter, if you send it to HTC for repair, they will still replace the whole motherboard regardless of a broken BUS or chipset...its just a way of making money...but if that can revive your HD2, you should go for it
Hi all out there,
My xoom has no backlight? in some angle I'm able to see what's on my home screen, but it's all dark, totally unable to work around...
Someone know something about that? You guys around here are my only help. I have no warranty, cause I bought it from US and I'm i Europe....
Greets,
Philip
Interesting, this person here have the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767082
Hmm I still don't think it's a software sided issue but a hardware issue. You could open your XOOM and if there is anything wrong with the connectors, but you will properly have to replace the whole LCD screen. I had a few LCD TV fail on me before and it's generally the back-light that goes first, so it's not that surprising. Hmm another problem is I looked on ebay over here and a new LCD screen or touch digitizer actually costs more than what it's worth.
So i have a Verizon G2.
a part of the screen is not working after i installed a wet screen guard i've put it in a container of rice for now and hope its fixed by tomorrow.
if thats not possible im assuming the screen is shot, now here' my question my friend has a completely brick sprint LG G2 which is basically a paper weight but the screen on it is pristine.
If My phone is water damaged can i use the Sprint G2 screen on my Verizon G2 please help and lemme know because if it is water damaged then i would need to replace the screen and this would save me a lot of money .
someone ?
Ok here's the deal... On your description I couldn't tell if your screen (display) or touchscreen is damaged. I assume you are referring to the touchscreen.
Unfortunately the LG G2 is very prone to touchscreen damage, I damaged mine one hot day while I was sweating and using the phone. Seems like a bit of sweat managed to find a way into the phone (most likely through the earpiece speaker since it stopped working briefly) but the thing is that since then, the top most 1/3rd of the screen stopped registering touches.
If you do some research, you will find that it's a very common issue. Some fail due to impact damage, some fail due to water some other fail without apparent reason.
The LG G2 unlike other devices I've had (which have been submerged in sea water) tend to fail without recovery. Even changing the whole screen assembly does not help since many have reported that the problem comes back after a few weeks or months.
So yeah, kinda bad news I know... :crying:
Based on the title, I thought you are a guru and offering help to everyone who has problem, just let you know and you will help them.
Great!
@berz there are 2 versions of the touchscreen for the g2, one for d802/d805 and one for D800 D801 D803 LS980 VS980 F320x
So as far as I know it should be possible to replace your screen with the one from your friend, so just take out the display+digitizer and put it into your phone, ofcourse if you have permission from him .
@Rayan the G2 is one of the best phones of 2013 but also the most vulnerable to screen issues.
Its sad that your phone is suffering from a slow death because of sweat :/
I think that if replacing the screen and a hard reset wont even good accept the new part then I think that the motherboard got damaged on a weird way. Just like that there is some filter or what which can get replaced to fix some screen issue.
I have a LG G2 D801. It has started getting dead zones on screen. It started with a small spot at top now its 1/2 inch at top and 1/2 screen on left side of the screen.
The phone was not dropped. I took it to service center and they estimated around $270 for screen, digitizer and motherboard. Also the guy said it would heat a lot after the fix.
Obviously I am not going with repair and would buy a new one. Just wanted to know if anyone was able to fix such issue? What was the cost? Can I fix it? Where to get the parts from(I m in India now)?
I am now done with LG.
I don't have a fix, but am interested in this thread as I also have 2x G2 with the same issue

See my long running G2 screen thread guys and embrace yourself!
It's a great phone with an achellies heal...its crappy digitizer
Your best bet is to find a used or broken one (not a broken screen G2 but perhaps a different problem like bad esn) and swap the screen frame over.
That will be your best bet and easiest method to fix your G2.
After swapping multiple brands of G2 screens from multiple suppliers, I came to the conclusion that only an original G2 screen will be a good replacement.
LG makes an amazing phone. If only the digitizers lived up to the reputation.....
