Hi, I accidentally washed my phone in a washing machine(don't ask why) on Friday. On Saturday I dried it out and when I tried to charge it the red light has shown. Yesterday the red light went away and there was a green light shown. The thing is, I can turn my phone on, I can take calls, I can feel the vibrations when I move my finger around the screen but it is completely black. So I would like to ask, is there a way to fix it? E.g. a new digitzer or something?? Thanks in advance.
If you get haptic feedback when you touch the screen, its not the digitizer. Probably just the screen itself. You can find a new one online, just google it or check ebay

So my sister who also has an Aria dropper her phone and now there is a huge crack on the screen. She doesn't have insurance so she is trying to find an alternative way to fix it.
Simply replacing the screen would work, but another problem started happening when she cracked the screen. During a phone call, the screen will turn off, as it should, but when the call has ended, the screen stays off and the only way to turn it back on is to either pull out the battery and reboot the phone or to plug it into a charger.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Will replacing the screen fix the blackout issue? Or is this phone just trashed forever?
sounds like it destroyed the phone and the proximity sensor. i'm not sure if replacing the screen will fix this.
I actually had the exact same problem after dropping my phone during a call. I noticed that I didn't have to pull the battery to end the call if I held it up super-close to a really bright light (desk lamp, etc).
There were many times when I was on the street (in nyc), and had to find a bright light to hold it up to.
I dropped my Aria right on the corner with the ambient light sensor (in the upper right corner), which shattered the glass right in front of it.
Amazingly enough, after a few weeks, it started to get better and better - and now, nearly 4 months later (yea, i just deal with **** lol), it will hang up cals properly.
I'm actually working on replacing the screen right now, btw
My buds Droid 2 back light doesn't work anymore as well as the touch screen digitizer. Is the back light in the LCD itself or is that a seperate part? I told him I would fix it and I need to know what to order.
I'm having a similar issue, My wife got the phone wet, so we dried it out. That part went well....
Well she got a new phone, and I put the Droid 2 in a draw, and recently found it again, deciding to look it over, I charged it up, turn it on.
Here is what problems it has, No Backlight on the LCD display, No LED Nofication lights, No keyboard lights, No Digitizer touch.
The phone boots and works, sounds work, OS is intact and under a flashlight I can see the screen.
my question is does the ribbon cable control all of these? or are the seperate problems?
my d800 was immersed in the pool for a few minutes.
tried heating it with a hair dryer immediately. then left it in rice for a couple of days.
after charging for a little bit, i hit the power button. phone turned on like normal, but lcd was all messed up.
it was like distorted rgb dots all over the screen. and there was no haptic feedback to my touch.
the phone functioned perfectly - ringtones, led notifications, etc. only, i couldn't see anything.
i left it off for a couple of weeks, and switched it on again today. the display is only black now, but i can see it is backlit, compared with when the screen is off. and the phone vibrates now when i touch the screen.
so i'm guessing the digitizer works?
looking to repair it myself, whatever might need replacing.
any ideas, guys, on what i have to change here? or just leave it like this and hope it eventually works again? :laugh:
also, suggestions or links for items and instructions that might've helped you will be much appreciated.
Screen on my G2 was totally cracked up but the LED notification light still worked. Was red when I plugged in the charger. Was green when I turned on phone.
Got the screen replaced and now the LED notification light doesn't work. Charge the phone and no red light. Turn on the phone and no green light. Options for LED is turned on.
Is the notification led integrated into the screen? So I may have a faulty replacement screen?
Also read that maybe a factory reset may work but thats a last resort to check cuz I don't feel like setting phone all up again.
On a side note..do those screen repair stores you find in the mall usually use OEM or crap quality replacements? Je told me oem but i trust no one. Noticing as I press keys as i type I see parts of screen near finger get a little darker like if u press down on a LCD screen too hard. Other than that the screen is fine so far.

No its not.
Its a seperate part that attaches next to the selfie camera on the logic board.
Looks like the shop was in a hurry and forgot to connect the LED
As for the screen, I can say you have an aftermarket non OEM.
OEM they use LOCA or OCA to bond the Digitizer to the LCD.
By doing so, you have no weird darker/lighter effects when typing on it.
Just like the stock screen.
If you have those effects, I would recommend you have them replace the screen with one that's OEM and not an aftermarket.
My first screen repair story went like yours only I swapped it in myself.
Come to find out the seller sold me an aftermarket screen claiming it was OEM.
I had him refund me for it since I called him out on it quickly
Darn...hate confrontation so was hoping it was part of the screen so i can easily tell him to fix. Now he can just tell me it probably wasn't working due to dropping it but I know it was working. Could always fight the charge on my credit card if he's unwilling to do something about it.
As for aftermarket..i can tell him what you told me but he could jsut stick to his guns, lie and stay "its OEM" and probably nothing i can do about it.
Thanks for the info!
Using a light...it looks like there's nothing in there where the sensor/LED shoudl be..its like i can see to the back of the case.
EDIT: Opened up...the whole proximity part is missing!! I'm assuming the LED light is part of that since that's not working and its right next to it.
EDIT2: I guess the IR blaster is part of that too...lol
Thing that pisses me off now is that he didn't put in my factory stock part and will replace it with a possibly crappy aftermarket part.
I'm demanding some money back for this nonsense.
the story is, when i slide my brightness in between 30-60% i get this green line, and the display stop refreshing, BUT it still register my touch input.
AND, also, when this happen, the PITCH BLACK AMOLED KICKS IN.
AND, the screen gets whiter and whiter, with dead pixel dots everywhere.
if at 0% brightness, at BLACK wallpaper, there is no PITCH BLACK, all black is LIGHTED UP, like using an LCD display.
help
(UPDATE) ive tear open my s8, cleaned them with some isopropyl alchohol. and slap them back together.
one thing i noticed, is that whenever i install the wireless charging coil and tighten them with screw, i get the bloody white lines, and screen froze up.
then i disconnect the coil, everything is fine.
EXCEPT that the colour are still WASHED OUT, like an LCD panel, no PITCH BLACK at any brightness. any help?
