Hey guys, I woke up today to find that my younger brother had totally screwed my Moto Defy's display. I do not know how he did it, I think he placed it under something really heavy. But anyways these blue lines and dots have appeared on the screen and they have been expanding since the past 10 hours or so continuously. First the line was really small as I have pointed out in the first picture but it has increased in height but now it is increasing its width as well. Can I do anything to stop it from increasing, I think 3 days down the road it will cover the screen completely at the rate at which it is increasing?
P.S What do I need to replace if the lines appear everywhere, the LCD right? The touch on my phone works flawlessly!

Hi,
Those are what technicians call "dead pixels." Which means that the small pixels on your device are either smashed up (individually), or does not light anymore.
Yes, you do have to replace the touch screen LCD of your device, unless your Defy is still covered by warranty and can be easily sent over to authorized service centers for repair, root or no root.

One of these would do the trick...
How that younger brother managed to damage the screen without causing damage to other parts of the phone is a bit of a mystery. There is an air gap between the glass/digitizer and the LCD display so he must have exerted quite a bit of force to bend (!) the glass down so far.
NO dont buy a new display.
Remove battery and close back cover -
then put the phone into a plastic bag and close it.
the put it into the refrigerator for 2-7 hours
then put your phone under you pillow and wait 2 hours or until it will be dry again.
then put your battery back on the phone and check the screen.
if its gone then yay, if not put it again ..
the guide is not mine and was on this forum.
WORKED for me like a charm and now every thing just fine...
My Defy has some blue splotches very similar to the OPs. It happened after my daughter dropped it causing a single crack in the corner of the screen...
The post about putting it in the fridge is interesting. I might give it a go. Do you have a link to the original post that you referred to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659250
look at the last post of page 1 and first of page 2.
search all forum (here) for "defy dead pixels fix" many posts about this.
and yes mine fell as well from 1 meter - display ok but was blue dead pixels which gone after that.

Sorry for the late reply, but I'll definitely try this tonight and let you guys know what happens!
Edit: I tried this and it has considerably reduced the blue spots on the screen. Only a small blue blotch is left at the bottom but way better than what was it before. Thank You
It happened to me and after a day they are gone themselfs

Thank you guyz I owe one to you! It really worked and saved my defy! Thanks alottt. I put it in freezer wrapped in a shopper for 12 hours, put it in rice for 2 hours and all the dead pixels are gone now. It's safe and scientific cause probably pixels get contract and start working something like that, who cares though Thanks

Mine has also developed these blue lines. I suspect from a ten hour drive in 36 deg heat within the car phone cradle. Then rapid humidity changes with air conditioning. Thanks for this post, I'm going to give the refrigerator (not freezer) a go and will report back.
WOW
This really worked... my screen is fixed i froze my defy for about 8 hours, then i dried it up, then the blue lines disappeared

Try this app(Dead Pixel Detect and Fix) from the Play Store. Run it overnight(5-6 hours) with a full battery and full brightness. Your display should be fine by morning. I have used it twice for the same issue. All the best. :good:

blue dots on the motorola Defy plus screen
Hi all
In the morning,I slipped my mobile from about 2 meters. Its screen got blue dots which worried me a lot. I started searching the solutions on many forums. At lost I got the solution from here. I kept my mobile in freezer about 2 hours and waited for one more hour to come to normal temperature. Miracle!.. All of a suddenly, blue dots gone.
As an engineer, I didn't believe this.just I made a trail before I replace the LCD screen. I would like to thank to the people who wrote the solution and who supports this forum.
I would be more happy if give the mystery details technically.
Regards
Sivaji
Help with motorola BRAVO
Hi everyone. I have a motorola BRAVO phone which has the same config as DEFY. I am also facing a similar problem. I was looking for LCD replacement then I got here.
I want to ask Those who have tried this. How did you dry the phone ?
I tried to keep the phone in freezer for 2 hours. Then kept it under sun for ~2 hours. But the problem is still here.
Any reply will be appreciated about drying it up.
EDIT:
SO I tried it again. And it got worse. The lines expanded. I think i have to replace the LCD.
Also I have tried the "Dead pixel detect and fix" app. It does nothing .

Hey everyone!
Somehow, on my HTC Touch HD, quite a big spot showed up. It displays colors and everything, the touch screen works fine on the position of the spot, but the spot is just brighter than the rest of the screen (you can hardly notice it, if the background is dark, but it's quite noticable, if the background is white / bright, or if you're looking at it from an angle.) Now, I have no idea what this is, but to me, it looks like some sort of water damage at most.. Yet, I have no idea how my HD could have come in contact with enough water to create a spot like that. Now, I'd like to know, where the water indicators on the Touch HD are, and what color should they be, if the device hasn't come in contact with water, and what if it has come in contact with water. I only know for the one on the battery, and that one is white with red stripes all over it (in a pattern). I'd just like to figure out, if my device really has come into contact with water (steam perhaps). Oh, and btw, the spot doesn't change if I apply pressure to it, nor is it visible if the device is turned off.. I'm letting my phone sit in a dry spot, without the battery in it for now.. I'll see if it gets better in a few days.
Thanks in advance! Perhaps, I'll post a picture of the spot, if I'll be in the mood for charging my digital camera..
Just under the battery in the bottom corner is a strip.
If it is pink/red it has been in contact with water (thats the colour mine is )
I think there are a couple of internal one around.
Check the manual posted around here somewhere. It has the factory instructions on how to pull it apart/put it together and where all the strips go.
Well..The stripe under the battery, to be precise, under the battery pins is still white.. But the one on the battery is white, with red patterned stripes over it..But I heard the one on the battery should be like that.. Not sure though.. And I don't think I'll mess with opening the device up..If the spot doesn't go away in a few days, I'll contact the shop, and ask what the hell's wrong with my new (5 days old) device ..
Kinda afraid I'll have to pay muchos euros for the repair though Does anyone have any idea, how much does it cost to fix the screen?
Just tried turning on my device, and, I think it's getting a bit better to be honest...The spot had even brighter areas inside itself before, but now, the whole spot has the same brightness.
Complain now while you're still inside a week! But hopefully it will go within next few days (i'm just hoping, I got no clue what it is!)
Good luck
I had something similar with other devices, an air pocket between the digitizer (it looks like water but isnt) and the LCD, you may have applied too much pressure to the screen at some time. The spot can be pushed out, using you finger push the spot towards the outside of the screen, eventually it will return again if you apply too much pressure. This normally happens from the device being in pants pocket and when you sit or bend the pressure is increased. Also hold your LCD to the ear, if you hear a high pitch eeeeeee squeal then you your LCD is faulty. I would send it back for replacement.
Hello again!
After not using my device for 15 hours, the spot has almost vanished. It's still sliiiightly visible from an angle, but otherwise, it has really improved over the night. So, I really think it's a drop or two of water that's inside, which is slowly vaporizing now. Kinda reliefed! I'll report tomorow again, to tell you if the spot is still there or not! But I'm pretty sure that it's going to go away completly by itself.
Anyways, thanks for all the suggestions everyone, but, I think I'll let the device cure this one by itself .

Well, after my HD2 was dropped for the third time to the solid ground from my desk height (75cm) ... The first two times nothing happened, astonishing...
however, the third drop was stronger, and my Screen on the right up corner turned into BLACK covering the OK and Battery ICONS...
I have noticed that after three days, the Black spot was getting smaller and the battery icon started to appear...
I kept monitoring, and guess what! Now after a full week, the WHOLE Black SPOT Disappeared
i am really surprised, so i liked to share this info with you ...
Note: i am using a screen protector, maybe thats why it didn't break yet hopefully never...
well, congrats then
Same here, but mine isn't fully recovered, still has a very little "black pointing", but is almost unnoticeably.
I would go as far to suggest that the screen itself wasn't damaged, per se, but bits were pushed together and over time they have settled back to their correct positions.
which Screen protector you are using ?

I wonder what r u doing m8 that your phone dropped 3 times from your desk .
Stop dropping it - that will keep it in great condition.
Sounds like you've been REALLY lucky so quite while you're ahead!
Its normal. I threw mine out of an aeroplane into the sea. 3 weeks later I found it on my doorstep, dripping wet but otherwise working fine. (I can only assume it used my Tomtom home location to find its way back).
I obviously needed to dry it out so I threw it into a blast furnace for a few days, but it was too hot to put to my ear when it rung, so it went into a vat of liquid nitrogen to cool down.
Still working great
this is a PDA not a can opener. you'll better watch out 'coz next time luck will just sit there and laugh in your face.

hi
i have HTC HD2 and its new device , i set down on the device then i notice a black point comes on the device screen , when i visit the HTC Delare , he told me that i have to change the screen ,
but the device is working 100% and no any damage ,
what can you advice me,
attached the picture of my HTC
Happy to report that HTC is also self-repairing on the Sensation XE.
I Dropped it 2 days ago I thought it was the end of it. everything was a bit loose, the parts of the back cover went out of place (put them back in)
anyway, screen damage was noticeable, black dead pixels were scattered around the top right corner, and in the edge (where the battery and the clock) was heavily damaged and was acting like an old lcd screens, in a way that when I touched it the fluid went from one place to the other. seemed like a permanent damage.
Half a day later I Could almost tell the time, black spots were still over the larger area.
today, i'ts almost fully recovred, almost all of the black pixels are once again alive, and It's only a tiny piece of the top side of the status bar that has no display (~2 pixel high and 10pixel wide).
I dropped it 2 times a day Screen still perfekt but USB is brocken
Hello All.
My Focus ended up in the washer... i got it out, yanked the battery, set it in a bag of rice for three days and hoped.
Phone seems to have come back, all features appear to work. (WOOT!)
Only issue is the screen is very dim. It was bright when it first booted. Seemed fine for a few minutes.. then flickered and went dim.
I already disassembled, removed and replaced the screen connector to see if it was just a dirty contact. No luck.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
To me, it looks like some water got to the digitizer.
However, I'm not an expert, but from what you describe plus what you did, that seems to be the case.
Thanks. Little more info ... I don't know if it helps... but when I go into diagnostics, for the screen, Setting *#0*#, I can see red and Blue, but green is practically non existent.
Also, is there a "Backlight" like in a LCD screen, a set of CCFL's or similar I could replace or is is the digitizer assembly a sealed factory piece?
Thanks again.

I see. Afaik, the blue color is the first to go on a SAmoled digitizer, as being the most sensitive. Then green. However, the lack of green indicates that something has gone wrong. You can have a look here, maybe it helps, but there is no backlight in SAmoled and I think you need to get the whole piece... There is one thread here.
Put your phone in a bag of white rice for a couple of days to dry it out, then see if that helped. A friends son dropped his phone in water, tried that, and it recovered.

Oops, missed that... Pre coffee! Yeah, good luck with it.
After a trip to a shower my HTC One was declared dead (boot loop even after rice, humidity remover, heat, and others) I figured I would open the phone even it it meant that I could destroy it. It turns out that all you really need is patience and tools already available. Sure, I did bent the upper cover but, hey, everything else is intact.
I started by removing the volume button and started using those "guitar picks" around going down. Added some heat to unset the glue and moving slowly I started prying open the right side (when you are looking at the lcd). Than continued moving down until the left side was stuck. After that I went high on the volume button to set the whole right side open.
Now I'm using the other tool (the one that looks like a lever?) I started opening the left side. This side was a lot harder so I applied heat again. After that the glue wasn't an issue and it started to open nicely. Now I have the phone open and I'll see if I can get it working again.
Sorry for the English. I'm too excited to correct the mistakes and I'm not from an English speaking country.
Edit: added tools pictures.
The guitar picks were used to start opening the phone. The green and blue tool were used to open the left/top/bottom sides. The light blue tool was used mostly as a lever on the right side that was already open.
Edit2:
Video will be here shortly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832250&postcount=22
Overall experience while opening the HTC One (compared to the iPad 2/iPhone 3G/S/4S/iPod touch 5th/Motorola Atrix/Transformer Prime) I would give it a 4. The iPad being a 2 (almost impossible to open without a heat source and nearly impossible to mount a new glass without issues).

Phone is back. 100% working again. After opening it up I used a hairdryer on the "on/off" switch, left it open to cool down. After an hour I left it charging and left it there. It wasn't boot looping anymore and it turned on.

Same phone. I just glued it back to position with a superglue (superbonder is the trademark I've used). Used a toothpick to smear it gently and used some phone books to keep things in place. The top aluminum part was bent but the superglue is now holding it.
About the video, I'm not sure I'm willing to open it again. It would be awesome tho..
I have read that under the speaker grills there are screws holding it together.. did you encounter these screws?

Found no screws. It's stuck together in one piece by some clips on the white border only. It's also glued around the same white border.
Follow-up: The phone is still working fine but not charging anymore. I'll wait to open it again later, in about two days or so, and than I'll video the process to see if there's something wrong. Hopefully it's fixable. And I hope I can open it without issues just like the first time. If it doesn't charge I'll see if I can get a new charging port (maybe the water did some damage by rusting the contacts of the port).
It seems that the phone is playing tricks on me. It's charging today.. Go figure..
Could be the water damage. I read where people with different phones talked about the phone acting weird like it just stop charging or the screen won't come on. That would come and go without warning. Remember my father in law damaged a phone once when he was a truck driver and delivering his load in to a walk in freezer. He made many trips in and out and I guess from the extreme cold to heat made it condensate inside the phone. Where are the water damage labels on the phone beings you had it open?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Double post.
Water labels are intact and since htc left Brazil we don't have an authorized to fix it so I opened it and saw that there is no water indicator in red. The water damage sticker is below the flash. Look at the pictures and you'll see a white sticker below the flash and another close to the usb port on the lower side of the phone. Not sure if the second one is a water damage indicator..
I'll keep using the phone till I get some alone time to open it. Tho I'm worried that I might break the phone this time (since it's working again - for no apparent reason).
So, yeah, there's an issue with the charging. Not sure if it's the port or the phone. Tested different chargers and it won't charge while it's on nor when it's off. After a day off it charged (yesterday) but now it won't charge. This sux. I have to find out what's going on. So, yes, I'll have to open it again. I can't have a phone that will be used to drive using gps all day behaving it like that. Phones won't last 4 hours on battery alone while using gps.
Added new picture with tools used..
Sorry for the double/triple post, but it's the best way to keep everyone informed..
If I helped you in any way please consider donating something so I can buy a new phone. The HTC One is dead due to an issue with the USB connector or something else that I'm still not aware. I will use this phone as a test bed from now on to see if I can fix other stuff without breaking too so I do need a new phone. You can donate here: http://bit.ly/1a9vqqg
Thanks and enjoy the video! I hope it helps a lot of people.
A video will be uploaded here: (it's 04:37am GMT -2) and still 205 minutes left to upload. Video will be 720p and it's 1.2gb so yeah, it will take a while. But now I'm off to bed. And sorry for my english. I'm ok writing but I'm so so when speaking. I said I would edit the video but since it's just shy of 19 minutes I figured I would leave it like that.
If you guys have any idea on what to do to help me fix the charging issue I would see if I can try that now that the phone can be easily opened. :fingers-crossed:
PS: you can skip this deatils to my main problem
Somebody pls help me
my galaxy note 3 was water damaged nearly an year ago. But i was able to recover at that time by using isopropanol(99%).
In Detail: After water damage i loosed all hope for around 2 days, then outtanowhere i got this solution over the internet and then i submerged my phone's green board into that alcohol and then in rice. Unfortunately it doesn't turned on. I kept putting my phone outside under sun light, still the display wasn't working. Then i left my phone for about 1 and a 1/2 month in my cupboard abandoned....It got fully recovered!!! i was living a happy life then.
:Main Problem:Now in today's date i was feeling something is wrong in the phone because it was discharging these days too quick(abnormally and this things were happening after recovery too). So i decided to put the whole phone(deassembaled the green board) in the isopropyle(99%). after 30mins later i picked it up back and assembled every thing back turned on the phone and guess what the screen was black again. I putted the phone under sunlight again but case got even worse (but i think it is good both) at the same time. My note 3's screen is turning on and working but inplace of black screen its showing dark smudges or a quit a bit of screen(not cleared but seen-able) like some kind of weird shape/spots of black. Now HELP ME
Tell me what to do!! i don't know what is this happening because 99% isopropanol isn't that conductive and will not harm the phone whatever the case is.
What should i do to get all the things back at the track? should i submerge the phone again in alcohol or should i leave it for now.
*i hope somebody read this, waiting for reply and help*
BTW: i'll keep updating this thread if something happens
Whats the 1% ?? Water ??
When a phone gets wet, I never recommend dunking anything in alcohol or any other liquid, especially the screen. Sounds like the alcohol may have seeped in between the glass and LCD.
Update:
So after putting it under sunlight for 2 days. My phone's screen is completly BLACK.
just a tiny part was showing lighted up but that also gone after about 15mins.
What the heck should i do now. I removed the battery now and putted the phone in the cupboard again (hoping for a miracle).
Any help will be appreciated.
New screen or bin the phone .

You made a huge mistake by placing the phone in alcohol. You should only submerge the motherboard. It seems like you have alcohol/some water inside the display assembly now.
Use a hairdryer to completely dry the motherboard, place the display/ rest of the phone in rice and give it 3 days or so.
Should work.
PS: You may have killed it by turning it on while it had the spots on the display, i.e.. caused a short.
Good luck.

Alright man i'll try it. Thanks for helping, as i said well appreciated:good:
i already done the hairdryer part for 10mins or so.
And also putted the phone packed in a bag full of rice. Lets see after 3days :crying:
Update guys: so after putting my isopropyle damaged phone's screen into a bag of rice for 3+
days lol nothing happened. It seems that rice done nothing, my screen is still black sadly. My phone is booting and speakers etc. everything is working fine the only problem is in the screen.
Please don't forget to read my detailed post in which i stated that-
nearly a year ago i was able to recover my phone which was water damaged and for that solution i gave a bath of isopropyle alcohol. And after a month i was able to recover my phone just by putting it somewhere without battery
So at last i want to only ask you what the heck should i do to GET MY PHONE BACK AGAIN HELP!!!!

It takes effort to accept that the best thing to do is just to get a new phone. I remember when I wanted to stick to my old, microUSB-port damaged Galaxy S II but I had to accept that I needed to move on.
I know sometimes it's difficult ($$$) but yeah, save some money up and you'll see that this will be just a small episode in your history of smart phones.

maybe.....
but seriously it maybe any kind of impurity but i'm sure it is not water.
I would suggest to buy a new phone. You could TRY changing the screen, but there is no guarantee that the screen is the only issue. + a used Note 3 is almost the same price as a new screen.
Sorry that the method I suggested did not work. :/
Since this didn't work, you probably fried the screen driver when you turned it when it was filled with liquid under the display.
Change the display or the phone.
Never, ever attempt to turn on a liquid damaged device. I know it's tempting. This is an expensive lesson!

You dont need to say sorry bro.
Well from all the experience i gain from this incident and including my experience with isopropyle alcohols, i don't know definitely what happen but i can guess what may be going on there.
So, in recent months a previous phone (not my phone) was water damaged and the owner gave it to me as a last hope lol. I 100% submerged that phone in isopropyl for 3days!! lmao and as a result the phone's some part like speaker and screen (which are stacked by an adhesive) were floating in the solution and then i picked up that phone up and situation got even worse the phone's screen was a bit hanging i turned the phone on and the screen was working perfectly but as i said the phone's screen was hanging so it was not touching fully the digitizer and hence the touch was not working but the screen was turned on i dunno why.
Now i look at my phone which screen was just dipped about 15mins and still not able to show anything. I think the cause may be a part between the screen and the phone which might be displaced by that solution.
Now i ask you guys that should i remove the screen only by heating & removing and stick it again. Will this solve the problem? any advice?
