Display problem? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can see yellow thing in the corner.... I just found it.
Is there any way to solve it?

Could be the adhesive leaking from under the bezel. Could be a weird type of light bleeding, either way, it requires a replacement if it bothers you enough

White spots on the bottom

New Nexus 7 tonight, I notice white spots on the bottom (right side of screen), see picture.
Confirmed with another nexus 7 owner they didn't have those spots...
Is this normal or should I RMA it?
that is called "light bleed". I don't know the extend of damage that it will do if you keep this nexus 7..
but if I were you..I will just return and get another nexus 7 with no light bleed .....
almost all tablets have had this problem...including the ipads....

Yes... not normal light bleed. Looks like they didn't align something right.

The beginning of screen separation issues?

Sorry if this has already been asked but I wasn't able to find it after a few minutes of searching.
I got my Nexus 7 today and the screen seems to be making cracking noises as if it's not in place all the way. Is this me just being paranoid after reading so much about the screen issues or is this an omen?
Thanks in advance!

Left hand side towards middle/top?
Welcome to the club. Solved mine by clamping slacks hangers against the side..
many other fixes around the forum here.

Yea I've seen the solutions, but I'd rather just send it back if there is an issue. Rooting I have no problem with, but I don't use tools Guess I should avoid getting too attached to my Nexus 7 in case the worst case scenario becomes reality

I just put clothes hangers on the left side of my screen. Holding it perfectly flush against the silver.

Has anyone sent in Google I/O White Nexus 7 for servicing?

I sent in my White Google I/O Nexus 7 to Asus for service for the screen lifting issue. It took them about a month to attempt to repair, and in the end they simply shipped me back a new Black Nexus 7. I was wondering if anyone else came across this problem. Has anyone been able to get back a fixed White Nexus 7?
The white backed Nexus 7's were a limited promo version. The white cover itself had a set of older antenna types in them. The black or dark backed cover have newer version antenna' s.
They actually upgraded you by giving you the dark cover.

Hmmm. Older antennas or stylish white color. Hard to choose

Nexus 7 Defects (Software or Hardware)

Well as many of you posted you had flawless Nexus I pulled the trigger but for my horror I got a Lemon.
First I thought I had only the screen lift but after two weeks It have started to develop Screen Flicker and the slightest screen bleed in the right corner... a black pixel line when I open a hard task or its charging something.... the screen not responding and the ghosting :banghead: to my other horror I can't return it cause my father bought it to me and I'm in Mexico so no return but I wanted to know what are Software related and what are hardware related

So the Screen Separation is Hardware as the Screen Bleed
But the flicker, the sudden line that I just see like one a day and the ghosting that goes away with a reboot are all hardware?! The HTC titan had the ghosting too and with an update it went away

Well actually the screen flicker can be fixed by running a script. Look for the thread that says screen washout out fix. It will disable the nvidia smart dimmer. And the screen lift can be fixed' Google it . And not sure what the this "ghosting" is.

Well first I don't know if when going from homescreen to homescreen and seeing the icons going from side to side it looks like it leaves a trace behind that disappears after a couple of milliseconds and I don't know if its just an animation or ghosting.....and second is after being in my social homescreen the white parts stay onscreen in the background until I reboot but that only happened once and never again

IIRC you used the clamp and heat method to try and reactivate the glue. Best of luck, but that approach has been temporary for most users.
And you telling him to Google it would almost certainly lead to him fiddling with the screws, which is even less effective than the clamping.
Here is the only fix known to work. It's a delicate procedure and I wouldn't recommend it unless your lift is severe, GalaxyDev.
Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully you can see past these flaws and enjoy the tablet as is. I'm sure this device is a rare sight in Mexico.
The only reason why I considered that is because my screen lift is so minor, its like a hair lifted so my guess is the adhesive needs rebonding.

Where to buy missing screws in the UK?

Hi,
I have the screen lift issue and when opening my Nexus up I see I have two screws missing. Searching around I've read they are 3.2 mm Phillips screws with M1.4 thread. I know nothing about screws and have tried searching google with no luck. Does anyone know where I can buy these so I can try and replace my missing ones? The guy at HMV said their stock is all the same shipment so if I get a replacement it's most likely to have the same issue.
Any hardware shop. B&Q for example.

Asus apparently decided your screen attachment is better without those two screws, and you are going to replace them. Why?

Put them in and watch that screen rise even more

really? So the only fix is the glue? I thought as some seem to be fixing their screen lift by tightening the screws it would work. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Give it a shot if you want, sod putting glue anyway near my screen, if its that bad take it back

The screen lift isn't too bad more worried about it getting worse in the future. I'm thinking about returning it but my Nexus is perfect bar this lift and with all the issues being reported I'm worried I'll get one with even more issues.
