The screen are working perfectly
But that is crashed digitizer
Can I change it alone?
Or do I have to change as complete as this?
Thank you
I had the same problem.
Change is very difficult.
If you have not done this until now, you will probably ruined more.
You just need to change the digitizer (the first picture), cost about 40 Euro.
The second picture is just a display (approx. 45 Euro) and not the complete screen (digitizer + display, about 90 Euro)!

I really don't recommended to buy the cheapest digitizer if you buying form ebay should probably search for oem and from USA, first i bought was from China and doesn't work, also if you aren't skilled don't try to repair it yourself is way to better to give it to some services...
So your lcd screen is working no need to buy new one
Thank you
But there will be problems if you switch the touch screen only?
Because the technical told me that there would be problems if you have rotation alone!
I don't understand what you mean, if lcd is working normally there's no need to change, there will not be malfunction after you change digitizer..
did something drop on it or did you sat on it?

First you don't need to change lcd if is still working I'm example of that, but for sound no idea, did you open your phone or it just stop to work suddenly???
Ansvered same on another thread here.
You have two ways. First is easy way.
Buy complected digitizer with lcd and you have done on hour.
Second way is buy only lcd and replace it. But there you must very very gently remove digitizer at lcd. This is littlebit tricky. You must use oven. Place oven to 50 °C and place your, attached digitizer and lcd, to oven. 10 minutes is enought. Now you can more easly detach old lcd at digitizer. Be very very careful and gently. You can scratch paint on digitizer on lcd side and also lcd itself. Attaching lcd to digitizer are used sticker adeshive tape. You need buy it too. I dont want advertize one ebay seller but you can use same dealer if you want. I had with that dealer many actions and all time all is correct. And he have most items OEM. Ebay seller name is kr-net.
I recommend first way if you do it first time or not opened any phone before.
Bestest way is give your phone to repair.

Hello all, i'm facing a very serious problem with my skin.
I woke up the morning and the screen of my Atom was awful! I can't describe it because i don't know what the hell it has!
Here is 2 pics to see my problem:
With the screen off the problem is very obvious on the upper left corner

A pic with the screen light on (the problem isn't so obvious)
I'm in desperate position, i don't know what to do!
Is there a way to fix the screen? Do i have to buy a new one? If yes, do you know from where i can buy it? Unfortunately i can't send it from Greece to Hong Kong for the official service.
Any help appreciated!
Bill
Yes there is...
Hi Bill,
Im very sorry to hear about your screen. the problem with the screen is that the backlight of the lcd is not functioning. ( Its called BPD-light).
there are 2 options : 1. you can change the whole lcd screen, but thats pretty expensive if its not under warranty 2. you can replace the BPD which is very cheap actually (35-60$ ), but it is very rare to find.
In my store we fix those problems.
if you are interested, you can contact me : [email protected]
Goodluck!
Not sure whether it's the similar case as mine. My screen was ever like your atom snap shot a few times. Very clear when it's screen off. Mine's due to the screen got depressed a bit too hard (while in the pocket or doze off on bed with my atom ) that it some how stick to the one beneath. What I did was just to press that area with little preasure and it got back to normal. Hope it helps.

Umm, what??
The backlight clearly is working in the second photo.
Thank you all for your replies.
Yeah, it is the screen's problem and not the backlight.
So, the device it's on the way to HK for the official service and LCD's replacement.
I have seen similar circumstances in many TFT applications (I used to repair digital cameras).
My hypothesis:
The problem is perhaps liquid trapped next to the reflective diffuser sheet(used for backlighting) a piece of opaque polarised plastic paper.
I think water has got between the plastic rear membrane and the diffuser paper, and it is trapping it, in what can only be described as the capillary effect. (HTC might disassemble the LCM, let it dry, and then clean with isopropyl, or just replace it because it's too much hassle).
Finally my Atom is in my hands with the screen replaced!
I have sent my Atom ~20 days ago to Hong Kong with the help of baubaubau (http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=83579).
I've shipped the Atom to him, and then he has delivered the device to the O2 Support. Also, because O2 has run out of LCDs he gave them a strange push for not the replacement be delayed.
So, i have to thank him in public.
If you have any problem with your device or you want to buy a new one don't hesitate to come in contact with baubaubau. [/url]
Hi everybody,
I have a question regarding the HERMES screen/digitizer with which i have always had problems...
I have been using my O2 XDA Trion for a bit more than a year now and i have always had the screen (dis)alignment issue. As i do not have warranty anymore i decided to check out the source of the problem one week ago, so I did a lot of research (also in this great forum ) and diss/reassembled the Trion without any problems. The problem now is : While I was testing the Trion's touchscreen with the included pencil suddenly the screen behavior changed. I am, as you can see on the two pictures below, not able to get in to the lower right corner of my screen anymore:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There is no way to get in the lower right corner of the screen, even touching at the very low+right point doesn't work. My questions therefore are:
- Do you think the root cause is a digitizer failure? (The LCD itself still works flawlessly...)
- Do you think buying + installing a new digitzer might fix the issue? Might it also fix the screen alignment problem?
- How "hard" is it to install it? Through my research in this forum i heard that soldering is needed?
Thank you very much for your answers in advance,
Cheers,
Philipp
Looks like a digitizer issue as you can't get any sort of selection to happen in that area but the LCD is not damaged as you said.

That's very probably true. The other thing that can cause wierd effects is anything that may be pressing on the digitizer around the edges underneath the bezel. Unfortunately some Hermes suffer from the digitizer remaining sensitive to touch even under the lip of the casing.
Regardless, I would not be tempted to replace the digitizer only. Although it's theoretically possible, it's not an easy job (LCD and digitizer are stuck together and contacts have to be made, positioning accurate , danger of cracking the LCD etc etc). Despite extra cost I would personally replace LCD/Digitizer as one unit.
One final point is that replacement carries a chance that things will not be perfect after replacement. This is because of various sensitive parts that can be affected when dismantling. eg. the d/pad connector.

Other way would be to find a "broken" Hermes (make sure its not the same problem or whitescreen) and use the whole slideout screen section. I did this and it worked fine...
Got my spare Hermes off ebay....
Cheers...
Hi guys,
just wanted to give you some information on the results.
I ordered the replacement screen 2 weeks ago here in Germany for about 45Euro (which is quite cheap i think, yeah ).
Everything worked fine so far. I installed the screen as described and it directly worked without problems. I have been using the Trion for more than one week now and the best thing is : Even the screen alignment problem seems to have dissappeared with the new screen, yeeppeh
Btw: I was a little surprised but the "new" replacement screen had the same date of manufacture on it as my "old" screen (which is in fact >2 years old). Nevertheless it worked...
So thank you all for your responses and help!
Cheers,
Philipp

What Happen????
This is all about for one bad call, and I really pissed off....
First smashed it in to a wall (it survives), next one was a 8kg dumbbell on it, after this one it's still running, and finally I really got angry and separate the lcd from main unit.
The LCD is working and it's OK !!! PCB works also, but the USB port is smashed, and some other things inside, of course the housing is smashed up and the flex cable is gone too.
Universal = undead
WOW poor uni

If i press inside the red area (including home button) it wont work and its just like i pressed the near side, like icons in the left or right of that red area.
I tried full data wipe, cache and dalvik, tried flashing newer sbf and no good.
Do you guys have any idea on it?
Thanks
Bad news bro.
I'm pretty sure its a hardware problem, the screen must be damaged...
So i need to replace it?

Better to get a new phone =D
a new phone is your option coz replacing the screen would cost you alot while you can get a better phone in a few bucks more!
New screens are available on amazon for 12 pounds (at least I spend this much)
However It may be a signal cable. They starts from 30$ on ebay
There are disassembly videos on Youtube.
I had a similar problem and I did the replacement two months ago and it works.
I bought the screen digitizer with tools on eBay.
Be sure That you have a torx3 beca use it didn't came on the tools! ;P
I had the same problem... I sent to the Moto Assistance and the had to change the touchscreen for a now one.
Good luck!
Not the cable. If the cable was damaged, it would shut down the entire screen. It's a problem with the digitizer. Hopefully for you it's relatively easy to exchange it, but you'll damage the camera sticker, the top panel of back side, above the battery and the speaker grid sticker (all of those are glued to the phone) in order to open it. Doesn't matter the way you take them over, you'll always damage it. Might wanna buy some of these on ebay too, although I'm not sure they sell it.
I had the exact same problem with my first M2, it was still under warranty but Moto took sweet 15 days to exchange it, and they returned my phone with a stuck volume rocker. Had to send it again, they took more than 15 days this time, so I asked for a replacement.

Greetings dear people of this forum!
Few days ago my phone's display started behaving in a very weird way (could be a minor drop down).
When I press the power button to draw the pattern, the whole screen is full of disturbed horizontal lines (pic_1).
If I apply some pressure on the screen's bottom right corner (pic_1 - red dot) it gets back to normal and doesn't even flickering at all (pic_2).
Howerver as soon as the display goes off because of the turn off time, too close to the face when making a call or just switch it off with the power botton, the problem reaccures.
I am very sure it is hardware related, because on the screenshots there is nothing like that and it is persist in the boot sequence. In my opinion this is some kind of faulty connection, I have already take the phone apart to catch any loose connector, but nothing changed after that.
I feel like I have to buy a new screen, but I hope I can repair it somehow, because it can works very well after my acupuncture therapy.
I have bought the phone second-hand, and I know there was a screen replacement, so its not the original one.

Could also be any gaps or something that can cause the lines(display gets pressure from wrong installation).
2 options basically. Loose connector or faulty LCD.
I don't think it's software related.
If you can give it back, then you should. If not, then you can either try to fix it by yourself by replacing the LCD assembly (with the touch digitiser).

Yes, You were right, as I thought too. The reason behind the problem was the LCD.
I have replaced it and now it works like a charm.
Thanks the response!
