Hi,
Last night i spilled bear on my phone. I wiped it and turned it off as fast as possible.
Phone is working, but i think my backlight is messed up because almost whole screen is a dimmed a bit except the bottom right corner where its bright.
Did anyone have similiar problem?
Any ideas if this can be fixed or will the display die? Also is it safe to use phone now when its dried and everything?
Also my flat cable is sticky so i was wandering if it is safe to clean it with medicine alcohol(70%).
Thank you for you time!
Sincerely,
Tajcci
Wish you all the best
That's why your not supposed to operate machinery if you have a buzz on
Worst case scenario: you will have to replace the LCD display yourself, because warranty doesn't cover water damage

After a trip to the beach the screen on my phone looks "foggy" like some water vapor is inside, after a few days the screen return to normal apearence again, then when i turn on my phone again the icons on the screen apear like always i touch it very fast , randomly (not at the same button-icon) , i think is something wrong with the touch screen, is there any way to "clean" inside of the touch screen or how can i fix that ?, i already try installing a new Rom and same thing hapen.
sounds like you got some moisture inside the phone. Assuming you didn't do anything to allow the phone to get wet, you may have justification for a warranty replacement since, IMHO, the phone really shouldn't let that much moisture in there to cause a problem like that just from carrying it with you. If you did allow water to enter the phone somehow or it's out of warranty, you could try putting it somewhere warm and dry for a couple of days. I have even heard of people using the oven (on it's lowest setting). That shouldn't really get hot enough to damage anything, but I'm not responsible if you try that and you cook the phone (although, really, it's not working right now anyways) Remove the battery cover and battery to aid in circulation. If you can rig a small fan to blow at it, that might help a little too. If that doesn't work or you feel adventurous, removing the front bezel would probably go a long way towards drying things out too, especially coupled with a fan or the oven method mentioned above.
Hi, ive experienced two issues with my Touch HD, one of them is that the phone calls get disconnected at a random time. I can talk for 5 minutes and suddenly the phone shuts down the call... And the other issue is with the screen, wich is demonstrated on the attached picture. It comes and goes, so its not persistant but it looks really bad on the screen when its there. The attached picture is coming from a Diamond, and it looks exactly like the problem I have on my Touch HD.
Can anyone confirm this and perhaps come up with a solution?
Thanks
Hello
If you have the protection foil adhesed to your screen it could definitely be that...
Consider that your device heats up when charging or while you do lot of stuff with it - hardware heats up and the glue or whatever it is comes off so your foil does the same
My friend had the foil on but got really fed with it so he just took it off and no more stuff like that on your screen...
If you do not have this foil it is probably a HW issue with your screen thus you should get it replaced - whole device of course....
hope I helped...
about random dropping the calls there are several discusiions around. just use search option!
hint:
try to change settings-phone-band-network type from auto to just gsm
3g is known as often drop the quality and maybe your phone try to switch from 3g to gsm.
if this is not the situation, look around, maybe someone found the solution
about the rainbow stain, could it be just moisture caused by moving from cold temperature to warm temperature?
is it still there if your phone is out in cold air? did you noticed if the stain is always there or it occurs only when the phone became hot?
if this is the situation, you have to remove the shield from screen and install it (or a new one) again but on a dry screen.
if you don't have a screen protector, then your problem is more complicated as the moisture is between your screen layers and can be changed only at a htc service center
I also read somwhere (forgot where) that the rainbow stain can be caused by pressure
yours is a very neat rectangle
does it always appear in the same place ?
when the pressure releases later it can then vanish
this is the link, it also explains how to solve the stain issue

Zesper, thanks for the link.. this is the issue with my Touch HD. Its now shipped for repair and I hope the warranty will cover it. The funny thing here is that the problem comes and goes.
Regarding the dropping calls, ill try with the switch to gsm, once its back again from repair.
Thanks
Hi,
I recently changed the glass on my s4 the repair seemed sucessfull as the screen did turn on and the touch was responsive however 24 hours later the screen has gone blank but the touch is still responsive as you can hear sounds when you touch the screen. There are no visible cracks.
The method i used was a seperating machine and attached the glass with loca glue. So what can have gone wrong. Advise would be apreciated and is there anyway to get the display back on.

The glue you used could have been too liquidy and caused a short circuit. If that happened it's fried.
It's also possible that the connecting cable that powers the screen simple came loose because it wasn't put in properly. That is what you should hope for because it's a quick and easy fix.
If heat was involved in the separation or gluing process it could have damaged something that took a full day to finally fail as well.
It could just be a coincidence that it failed right after you changed the glass, but I would put that in the "Highly unlikely" category.
Your best bet is to take the unit apart and see if anything looks physically wrong. Start there.
Most likely it has shortened as i have replaced with new screen and it works. How can i stop the screen shortening again if i do a glass replacement. And is there no possible way to recover the shortened screen.

There are probably no ways to restore a screen that has shorted out. Electronics do not mix when with electrical shorts. It tends to fry things beyond repair.
Hi,
After using my phone after a workout I'm afraid I water/moist damaged the touch screen. The screen suddenly started to make touch inputs by itself and then I turned the phone of, removed the back cover to check for any liquid. I noticed that there unfortunately were some moist behind the back cover.
So I decided to leave the phone off without the back cover to hopefully dry up for about 24 hours. But when I turned the phone on again the touch screen was totally unresponsive. So I guess the moisture broke something in the screen (from my googling I'm suspecting the digitizer).
But my question is if anyone knows or is willing to check on their working phones what color the moisture indicator (not sure if there actually are two indicators on the D802??) on LG G2 is when it's indicating water damage? I'm guessing that it is red when there has been water on it but unfortunately I couldn't find any high quality pictures on Google showing the original color of the moisture indicator and the color of a indicator that has been exposed to water.
I'm planning on giving it a try to use my factory warrenty to have the screen replaced but if the moisture indicator clearly shows that there have been water involved, I might have to reconsider
Anyhow, I would be very happy if someone is willing to upload a picture of an untouched, non water damaged, moisture indicator(s).
Of course, if someone has any tips regarding why the screen is unresponsive, you're more than welcome to share
Thanks in advance!
Andreas

Hi, this exact scenario happened to me a few weeks ago, when I answered a call while sweating profusely. In my case I noticed that all of a sudden I could not hear the person on the other side of the call so I plugged in my headset and completed the call. The speaker grill was just a bit wet, but the screen was covered in sweat, specially so on the area that now does not work.
Then I started noticing the screen started to fail on the now common horizontal zone on the upper part of the screen only.
I have not managed to make it work since. I guess a full screen replacement is at hand... But I'm waiting to get a smartwatch, so maybe the screen will come after that, if ever.
Cheers

Hi all,
last week we had a really heavy rain and I was outside. As a precaution I put my phone out of my front pocket into my backpack only to realize that the backpack was filled with water when I came home.
The phone was swimming in water but still on and working but I had no equipment to open up the phone (damn T3) so I had to leave it powered on and put it in rice over night.
The next day when I tried to boot the phone the screen stayed off and you could see the liquid between the lcd and the digitizer.
I went to a local repair shop and they opened up the phone. I let it dry for some more days but the problem with the display remains.
I washed out the mainboards with iso and cleaned all corrosion I could see with a toothbrush but after replacing the screen it looks like the issue remains.
The phone makes sounds like it is working and giving notifications but the screen is just dead.
Do you have another Idead what I could do or do I need a new phone?
Thanks

I am in the exact same boat (almost literally)
I dropped mine into the toilet (how cliche) and it also worked for a few minutes, then eventually the screen went black. I see nobody responded to you here, may I ask what have you ended up doing with it? Replace screen? Get a new phone?
