Alright, so I have another 8125 here that had a broken screen. I replaced the LCD but now when I turn it on, it just shows up all white. I thought the phone might have been messed up but it's not, the computer recognizes it fine. Anyone have any ideas with what's going on? Thanks!
Is this in any way related to your other thread? The one where you say you ripped the ribbon cable?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304323
No, this was a different phone, and I got it to work ! yay!
I had a simular problem and found it was a stuck button that caused the screen to go white.
Ok I need help from the gods of xda
I dropped my tilt the other day. When I picked it up everything seemed fine, yet the screen was completely white. No signs of cracks or a broken lcd. So I've tried the following: Soft reset, Hard reset, took out the battery, took apart the phone and disconnected the lcd and then re connected it. Still the same problem. WHITE SCREEN!
I can still receive/make calls, when i touch the screen in places where i remember the menus to be it still responds due to the noise, also the open and close noise still sounds.
The phone was bought new on Ebay, so i don't have a warranty through them or AT&T. After much research I hear people saying the same has happened to their phones as well and that there is a ribbon or flex cable problem. Something about still giving power to the LCD but not data, thus the white screen.
Now what I dont understand is do I need a new LCD because it has that ribbon/flex cable on it???? (link)
or
Do I need this product?(link)
Both contain a "flex cable" so im confused and frustrated, someone please help! any ideas would help

hi there, would it be possible to post the link to ebay item? i also need a new touch-screen.tnanks
I am curious about this as well. I have a friend who has a hermes and he mentioned to me that that his screen was starting to go white like explained here. I look at his phone and I also noticed that the bottom hardware keys were not working at all.
I am wondering if this same ribbon cable for the LCD would also be the same one for the bottom keypad and if I fix the screen the keys will become active again.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,

Tuck in for a long read and perhaps no single answer for all cases:

In short, yes the d/pad cable and LCD screen connections are linked which is why it is not uncommon for the white screen to show up when the d/pad is not working.
To the OP - I would just point out that if you get the white screen after a fall it may just be a loose connection at the d/pad and no need for new parts.
Dismantling instructions here:

But let's not start discussing the white screen here, please use the first link I gave above if you need to post.

a user i dont recall now his name,fixed is whitescreen by replacing the camera,open the device and remove the camera module, reassemble to test.
So my g/f droped my phone and my touch screen completly stoped working. So I went on a limb and replaced the digitizer and I thought all was well. Unforunatley only parts of the screen if you were to break the screen into 1/4s the top quarter doesnt work nor does the third down. So im thinking either the digitizer i recieved is defective or the ribon cable on the phone side is damaged. I have tried to reconnect everything all seems well.I have also tried a hard reset to no avail Any ideas guys could use some help!
Does anyone have a breakdown of the phone with part numbers and names. Im going to try and get the ribbon cable that connects the digitizer to the phone the one that runs under the power button.

Unless you really know what you're doing, this will be impossible. The screen and that ribbon are connected. Best bet is to just replace the entire digitizer again. Or do like I did, warranty it out. My screen shattered, door met phone, and I replaced it but had a dead spot, so I just called att and had them replace under warranty.
never mind found it the ribbon cable is one big piece for all connections! 15 bucks.
Hi guys, if someone here suffered from this kind of flickering >>VIDEO LINK.
How do you managed to fix it? What part did you change, the screen or the motherboard? Thanks. Really need some help. My phone now is unusable.
]]]]]] UPDATE 1[[[[[[[
Hi guys, just got my G2 back from the dead.
I send my G2 to a phone care in the city and they said my lcd is the problem, they changed the lcd+digitizer (the whole half of my G2 )and now the problem is gone. But When I got home I noticed vertical lines on my G2 when it is turned off, not really noticeable but if you look closely you can see the vertical lines and thinking that they change it with a low quality LCD. Even in white backgrounds you can see the lines but only if you have a clear eyes . I compared it to the original LCD and I don't see any vertical lines at all, it's all black. But the frame of the new lcd is solid like the original. So, in the future, will this new LCD survive or should I go the phone care again? Thanks!
***********UPDATE 2************
[UPDATE]
I think my G2 is working now after playing games for hours in 5 days, no flickering/stuttering/jittering noticed.
But, my IMEI was change and it was rooted jellybean when they give it to me. I don't know if they change the motherboard or the whole phone except for the body case and the new screen i purchased. I asked them about the changes of the phone because it's my second time returning the phone and the women on the counter said their tech just adjust something. I don't believe that, and then I saw the IMEI changed. I didn't ask why my IMEI was change, i'll wait til something goes wrong on my G2 and sue them. LOL.
I have some questions regarding this.
1) I'm not really sure if how an IMEI was change, is it for changing the motherboard?
2) Is it legal that they don't tell me what they change on my phone?
For now my G2 is still alive and no problem after upgrading to lollipop + root + twrp. Hope it goes all well now.

i went to lg service and they changed some filters on motherboard in 2 hours filter,EMI/Power 2 quantity i read on the paper. i was on warranty..
That looks crazy, it definitely would be a motherboard issue, or, I had a simliar issue while repairing them (I've re-sold about 20 of them) the flex ribbon sometimes gets dirty, or out of place(the one on the bottom under the speaker). You have to remove the back, then remove the speaker(6 screws I believe on the bottom, it;s an L shape). Once you do that, make sure the square flex cable is connected well, and there is nothing touching the circuit right under it(It has a plastic tape to keep it from touching).
The connector I'm referring to is right next to the USB one on the flex. For obvious reasons I got the image from ETrade supply. You can clean the connectors with 91% or higher alcohol, DO NOT use anything less.

I think i'm out of warranty because i bought it when it was newly released. Do you think lg sc will fix it by paying them cash?

When you replace your lcd they always tell you to make sure you have both connectors securely in place above the usb connector. One of them is the ground connection to your LCD!
Make sure both are fastened correctly and test before you seal your phone back together.
Keep us posted

[UPDATE]
After few days of youtube and playing games, my phone started stuttering/flickering again like on my first post -_-
I paid for the new LCD that they change, should I pay another bucks for the motherboard problem? or they'll give me a refund for the new LCD I bought that didn't fix my problem? Please someone reply me asap. Thanks
This error is on mainboard. Fix it is very simple. I has lot about 10$ for this solution.sorry bbecause my english's bad.

Hi guys, i have a similar problem. I bought a new lcd on aliexpress.....that is the video of the problem....
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/glzqihgdzz12jsj/Lgg2_lcd.mp4
The strange thing is , not in every operation make the same problem. after days i see that problem usually on facebook and a lot on clash of clans .
I make also a screenshot on the clash of clans and when i open the picture the screen flickering .....
its like when the phone show some combination of color make this problem
My Lg PRO 2 Phablet did the same from first turn on, flickering on and off, very dissapointed as i had mine direct from Hong Kong and couldnt send it back. What i did was to tak all of the screws out and take the plastic back off, then re fitted the back only, no screws and turned on, no more flickering. Then i put a couple of screws in and tried again, still no flicker, then after a couple of more screws by the sim socket it started to flicker again! Now i just run the phone minus a few screws, it must be a pressure thing!
Hi, i have exactly the same problem, specially in combination of colors (green red and blue most of the time). how did you manage to fix your phone ? did you change the mainboard ? thanks for your help.

Hi Guys,
I recently broke my Galaxy S4 Gt-I9500's screen and it isn't working at all. I just want to know if I could take my phone's screen on my PC. I'm rooted via phh's superuser and installed Mobizen for Samsung. When I connect my phone to pc it shows as removable device from Samsung. Can I get to know what part of phone is broken LCD display or motherboard. It doesn't even blink the notification LED. No screen OR should I restore stock ROM to check if there was a fault in OS. Please help.
Regards,
Agent Divanshu
If your screen doesn't turn on then it is a screen problem.
Why does LED doesn't blink? It's separate or not from screen.

Listen. Think for a moment.
If your motherboard would be broken, do you think the PC would be able to see your phone? Or do you even think the phone would turn on with a broken motherboard?
Does your PC work without a motherboard? I doubt it.

You should do more research, otherwise you might buy the wrong thing.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a Super AMOLED screen, not an LCD. Completely different things, like day and night.
And digitizer = the actual screen.
The thing you're always touching is just a glass screen, it has nothing to do with the images displayed on your phone. That's why, when the glass cracks, your phone still works.
Be cheaper to buy a used s4
If you're going to replace the digitizer, you should know that getting a complete replacement for the display is a much better option. The digitizer and AMOLED display are bonded together. To separate them requires a lot of heat, a lot of patience, and a very steady hand. One misstep and the AMOLED display will be destroyed.
Cough up the cash for an entire display, or do what @russy23 recommends and purchase a used S4.
