Hi,
My daughter's G1 has started to develop an issue with the screen (two months out of warranty...). The screen doesn't appear to be refreshing properly and there are several lines or what appear to be previous screens running horizontally across it when closed. This is started as a problem when the phone was closed and appeared to disappear when it was open, but it is now happening either open or closed. I'm pretty sure the phones been dropped a few times.
Is is worth me opening it up and checking the seating of the ribbon cable connectors or does this sound like a more serious fault?
help! same issue
not finding much info on the interwebs, but having the same problem. My display appears to be interlacing horizontal lines of the widescreen and normal (closed) views. Also when moving between homescreens, apps menu and status bar. Any help, links, etc is appreciated.

Re-seating the ribbon cable hasn't made much of a difference. Can anyone suggest where the fault is likely to be? I don't want to shell out £20 for a ribbon cable only to find out it was the screen or main board.
I had this problem with an lcd that cracked... not all the screen was messed up just the bottom half... but the top had vertical lines jump from nowhere (red and green i think, its been a while) and the screen would almost always have a faded lockscreen in the back
As the title says, my G2 suddenly developed the white screen with black vertical line in the center issue. I've read the other threads with this issue- my question is will I have problems having it replaced by HTC because it is rooted? Should I just buy a new screen and replace it?
The phone is receiving notifications as normal, but nothing can be seen on the screen except white/grey background, vertical line in the middle and eventual (in about 2 mins or so) darkening around the corners. The phone was not dropped or anything, was just in pocket- took it out at some point, turned it on and this was what I saw.
hope this is in the right forum. any assistance/advice greatly appreciated.
so no advice from anyone who may have already sent a rooted phone to htc?
So, I guess I screwed with something on my phone, but my display now shows "color bleeding" mostly when i open the phone up in horizontal mode. Would this be a problem with the flex cable? if so, just replacing that cable should fix the problem right?
I am able to disassemble the whole phone no problem.
I am experiencing the exact same issue, its bloody annoying.
I'm fairly certain it is the ribbon, but I wouldn't know where to get a new one, so havn't tried swapping it yet.
Did try disassembling and cleaning it out a bit though, no luck

Could you post a picture of what you're talking about?
Sadly enough, I do not have a camera other than the one on my dz... a screenshot wouldn't do anything since it just looks fine.. but it's something with the physical hardware part. I'll see if I can borrow a friend's camera when it happens again, but essentially the red and blue colors look like it's splotched in different parts and sometimes it even "pulsates"
it doesn't do it in vertical mode, but in horizontal mode.. it appears instantly.
Thanks to someone in another post that led me to the amazon link for the ribbon cable.. the phone now has no color bleed. Woohoo!
For those who want the link:

It works great and looks exactly like the original.
I'm experiencing a slight color disfiguration. I traded my girlfriend my phone for a few days and when i got it back, the bottom half has a yellowish tint. Is the flex ribbon the reason why it's like this?
is it the same tint whether or not you're in vertical or horizontal (keyboard open) mode?
if so it might be your flex cable or it might be the actual screen itself.
Yeah, the yellow (and now with blue) tint is in both modes. lower half of both sides (vertical and horizontal)
wait, does the tint change on the screen? as in does the tint stay in the bottom half of the vertical screen and stays in the right half in horizontal? or does it shift so that it goes to the bottom half in horizontal? if it stays in the same physical space in both modes, then it might be the screen itself, but if it shifts.. it's most probably the flex cable.
yeah, it shifts. but now the blue and yellow lines is throughout the screen. initially, i thought it was a ROM thing, so i changed it to see it in a different rom.
sounds like a flex cable problem. I can't guarantee it since it's one of those "replace it and see if it works" deal.
Cracked screen (video was fully functional, digitizer didn't work) replaced. Upon boot the right half of the screen was full red and the left was black. The"Google" splash screen looked normal, The 4.4 swirling colored dots behaved normally with all colors showing in either half. After boot the screen displayed oddly on the right half, with some edges flickering red, some colors appeared nearly normal. I could go on but I think this is good description.
All other functions work well, including the digitizer.
I reseated the tiny video flex cable and the problem persists.
I ordered another video flex.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Did the video flex fix it?
Fixed!

Ordered a new video flex cable and it fixed the problem.
My phone fell on the road and the screen broke, so i ordered a replacement screen with digitizer from aliexpress and followed the diy guide from ifixit. When i switched on the phone i got only two vertical white bars. I managed to unlock the phone by drawing the pattern and switched it off normally because i knew where the buttons would be even i though i couldn't see anything.
Did i do something wrong or is the replacement screen defective ?
I have the same problem as this video
