yes. if you were me and i were you, id swap screens. i can have the casing banged up to all hell but the screen must be flawless. even hearing about a dead pixel from a stranger's phone is making me want to go clean my screen.
yea i wasnt happy when i turned it on and seen a red dot.. my heart about dropped
Hi, it sounds stuck, not dead, I actully tossed my stylus at my screen one day, When it froze up, and caused a pixel to stick blue, after some work rubbing it out with the round of my fingernail, or the curved butt end of the stylus which almost completely removed it, and giving it a few days with diff color screens, it finally unstuck.
There are some apps that are supposed to help fix screens also for ppc's.
Might as well give it a shot, if youre considering replacement, it did take a fair bit of pressure, you should see it turn black, then release.
what apps are these that u talk about?
ive used http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=377&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 and doesnt seem to be working
aslo used http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44756 which is the same thing.. guess ill let it run over night like the guy did
are you sure htc won't let you get it repaired under warranty?
i had a mda compact II i bought off ebay and rang them up, saying i was told to contact them, they repaired it all under warranty and i had it back within a week (they had to replace the mainboard.lol.dont ask!)
try HTC!

Opps, I didnt catch that second link, till I hit reply, but the first is one I tried, and I had seen one other, but it required the .net framework, I was too freakin out at the moment to really have patience with the apps, because the blue pixel was staring me right in the face on my black todaypaper.
If that doesnt work running it, I recommend setting a black background, and gently applying pressure, until you see the pixel go black, and then work it back and forth between red/black in a circular/orbital type motion over the pixel, if it doesnt fully go away, but appears more faint, just give it a few days, and maybe even switch out your today screen a few times a day, but just make sure it isnt red, even occasionaly massaging the pixel from time to time, thats tthe method I used, and mine went away, hope you have the same luck.
stuck pixels
I had a stuck pixel and I was able to get rid of it using a combination of the stuck pixel fix movie and rubbing. It's good to do it while the unit is warm or hot...like leave it in the car and then rub that area using moderate pressure. There are plenty of guides on the web to fixing stuck pixels on lcd monitors. Consult one of those.
ok ill try that angelis..
i dont think i can contact htc about this.. i sorta got the phone on the DL..
none of these tips have worked.. still have this little red pixel. crazy thing is.. when i have yellow or green on the screen the pixel turns green or yellow depending on the background color.. this makes no sense
Jacob, search Ebay for Hermes parts.. and see if you can get a new screen...
im so trying to avoid that..
can you post a pictuer of this screen? just curious...lol
how do u expect me to do that? lol.. theres no way my digital will pick up 1 dead pixel
ahh....ya...lol
I have just bought and HD2 off of ebay last week and the phone has been great aside from one major issue. The upper right hand part of the screen seems to have black light issues (where the time is on windows mobile ).. Anyone seen this in there hd2? Should I call htc and try to get the phone replaced or??? The issue only seems to be really noticable on black screens like when a game is loading. Please see these pictures.. Sorry i took them with another phone so they are not the greatest. Thanks for any help.
Sry mate, can`t see nothing in them pics
Yeah, difficult to make out, but if I can see what I think I can see when I shrink the images down, it does look pretty bad.
I suppose it's your call, if it all works okay, but I'd send that back for repair straight away.
It looks as if the LCD hasn't been seated properly during manufacture. I'd suggest asking for a warranty replacement from your supplier.
Maybe you should contact the ebay seller.
Hello im quite new to this site, and have been looking around for the root to come. but in the mean time i have ordered a new cover and it came today. i have now disassembly'ed my phone and changed the cover, this turned up to be a little difficult. 8 scrues at start and then its just clicking off with some gentle force the rest of the way.
but then i bumped into a little problem.
The touch module itself is actually glued to the front cover and is very difficult to take of.
I did manage to get it of, by using a hairdryer and blowing hot air into the frontcover with the glass touch module. by varming it up the glue got soft and i used a hobby knife to like cut under the glass where the glue is.
u have to be very VERY carefull coz i manage to get a little crack in the glass, coz i didnt heat it enough, i would recommend being 2 person for this, 1 to hold and cut the screen off and 1 to heat the glass at same time. i did it one person and got a little crack innit.
but got it off and mountet it into my new white cover, but the screen still being the black color around, wich actually looks really sleek so its not entirely white in front.
I was really scared that i might had broken the Touch module coz of blowing such heat onto it. and was nervous when turning my phone back up. but it seems that it works perfectly wich was a relief :'D
but i just wanted to post this to people if they were interrested and maybe have thought about changeing cover them selfs..
i my self am not used to disassembly phones this was a first and i think i did pretty good aside from a little crack in the screen glass. ^^
just be carefull and gentle and you can suceed without a screen crack like me its not a big one just a little one u barely notice but still

Couldn't get into the photobucket album !
Do you feel that the white case is an original one ?
should have fixed the album since it was set to private but now its public.
i havent really seen the original white cover but the back cover on original black cover you know its kinda rough black. while the white one i got is smooth and blank, it does have the xperia text and sony ericsson logo. but try checkout the pictures they should work.

I mean does the back cover fits perfectly like an original one?
hey bro can ya tell if the white body is original???????
also can the guys at se service centers can get it done for me???
but hey i can still see the black body part in the white one.....was that intentional???
does the phone feel the same as before....i mean b4 changing the the body.......n plz get sum info on the cover??????
which one do you feel is better white or black???
Hi ****nap,
thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Do you allow me to add your pictures to first post in my "Upskirts" & "Disassembly" Thread?
(You find a post in my Signature from where you can jump into)
I'd be happy if you read my guide and add some suggestions.
still dont really know if its original, havent seen the original white and dont know how the original feels. dont think the service center will do it for you, but you check into it. yea the front still has the black part, it was not intentional, but thats how it came out coz of the touch module being black. if u want complete white u will have to buy a touch module that is already white. and it aint cheap

The white back cover doesnt feel the same as the black back cover. the black cover got that rough soft feeling. and the white that i got is smooth. doesnt feel the same, but thats only the back cover.

I bought a used nexus S today. and surpringly i found that an area (vertical rectangle) on the left side of the screen is not sensitive at all.
The screen is totally unresponsive on this area. So can you please help and tell me if it's a hardware problem or not? (no warrantly as it is a used phone)

Most likely hardware problem try and flash different rom and see if it fixes problem.if not its probably the digitizer that is causing the problem

rumor:
i have seen a problem very much like yours in other forum , in which , someone gave an answer and worked , but , i am not for if it is real or they were just bullshitting
get a lighter , you should have one if you smoke , take out that part which make fire , i dont know how exactly call it .
one way to identify it is what i want to say. if you put your finger over it , you should feel small electrical shock when you push the button
find that part , and shock the screen where unresponsive with it ...
don't ask me how is it works , i dont know ... you can either ignore me or take a shot...
good luck to you
....
you may not have warranty , but i think you can find some mobile shop to fix it , of course , you need to pay for it...

one thing i can tell you
in China , replace SLCD screen needs about 600 CNY , which means about 100 USD
SA creen nees about 900 CNY , about 150 USD ...

The flint???
No he's talking about an electronic lighter.
No idea how safe it is to send a shock of current through the capacitive screen though, read up more before you attempt.

consider thing wouldn't get any worse , you may worth to try it
Flashed different roms and results is the same.
Did someone try the lighter solution?
Is it easy to change the digitizer?

No you need to seperate digitizer from the screen. Risking breaking the screen. You can buy the digizteir and screen that is preassembled buy it's pricy.
.around 100 I think. Buy the digitizer and take it to the local shop its probably cheaper that way.

I have the same problem with the area by the backspace and "p" keys in portrait mode and along the status bar in landscape with the charging port to the right.
I went running with my phone in my waistband. Stupid I know. When I got home, my phone was soaked and the screen was 100% unresponsive and the colors would change intermittently.
I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days in a warm area of my apt, but it hasn't fully recovered two months later. You MAY consider removing the screen and checking for particulates or trapped water vapor. I've been meaning to, but haven't managed to get the tools yet.
I'd be interested to here about your solution if you find one.
Best of luck.

in the first few seconds , the author demonstrated right side of his screen "number 3 6 9 " were non-responsive , and then he use that thing from lighter , shock the screen thought his finger, sure , that's gonna be little hurt...
but , be careful , i also read , this method MAY REDUCE THE LIFE OF SCREEN.
Thank you very much for your answer. As said above, things can't be worse. I'll try this method and tell you the results.

Hi all,
this morning I left my tablet at home and when I come back found it with broken glass (I think tmy little brother dropped it, but he doesn't confess)..
Sometimes touch works, more often not.
However.. What can I do? I read that some lcd are not glued properly, and it could be my case, because on the left it's a bit lifted on the center.
In your experience, is there hope that it can be repaired for free?
And if not, where can I find replacement (I only found this: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Google-Nexus-7-LCD-and-Digitizer-Assembly-p-22606.html , but it isn't available)?
Thank you!
sooooo sad! :/

At this moment you have Two Options..
1. Sell it on Ebay for Parts you probably get about 50 to 100 at most.
2. Pack it up and store it away in a closet and forget about it. Until the Screens are being sold as parts.
the reason for both options is due to Asus not selling the LCD/Glass at the moment as a Part.
they are still manufacturing the Nexus 7 and soon will be making the Nexus 7 with 3g capability.
so there biggest priority at the moment is to keep making them.
you can send it in for repair with Asus but it will cost you about $160.00 just to get it repaired.
not to mention how much it going to cost you to ship it to them.
is the device frame cracked or damaged broken is the back scuffed or cracked .. Does it look like its been dropped. IS THE Crack on the left side. CAN You post pictures. Answer the above and give some pics and more info..
i know you do not really know for sure .one more question was it moved can you tell for sure rather someone was using it or not ?
If you really feel it cracked laying where you left it . Without anyone touching it . CALL GOOGLE PLAY.. But please do not be dishonest . There is a issue with the screen lift cracking and becoming unresponsive . as well as backlight flashing issues..
Looking forword to seeing pics and more info
