So I dropped my S4 on the kitchen floor - bang, screen cracked and nothing happening. Tried replacing / charging battery. When I hit power button I get a vibration, green light goes out for a few seconds then back on - nothing else.
I'm guessing the whole OLED has gone? - or does it sound worse?
DOH!

Hi!
I dropped my defy in 2 cm of water,everything was fine for 20 min, suddently my screen stop responding, i removed the battery, place it back turn on the sceen got quite dark. Yet I was still able to see things on screen. Then it slowly got darker and darker until it was completely black. After that I tried to push the power button but the screen didn't light up, only the 4 buttons were lit.
I noticed I was still able to unlock the screen or answer phonecalls sliding my finger from left to right on the correct area of the screen, although it remainded black all the time.
What can i do? do i have to replace the lcd?
Thanks
A dimmed Red LED stays on all the time on my Galaxy S4. If i turn the phone off it still stays on until i pull the battery out and as soon as i put the battery back in the Red LED turns back on. It's not bright red like when you connect the charger, its dimmed down. I almost sure this is a hardware issue but not sure exactly where and i no longer have warranty. (notes: screen is cracked from the bottom near the home button, not other damages) Any one have had this issue?
Thank you!
I have an N9005 that I bought second hand just under a year ago. It's running the Phronesis 4 ROM. About a week ago a one pixel wide bright pink line appeared intermittently down the right-hand side. It looks like this (only bright freaking pink): http://forums.androidcentral.com/at...-bright-line-being-shown-display-p1070045.jpg
Today I was playing Fallout Shelter (always makes my phone pretty warm and eats battery). 15% battery warning comes up so I take it to charge. I notice the screen doesn't turn on. There is a momentary flash of dim colour at the top, but otherwise the screen is completely black. I tried pushing the power button several times, but all it did was a momentary flash of dim colour at the top but still black each time.
I took the battery out for a bit, then put it on to charge. The on screen charging display did not appear (stayed black) but after a bit the LED lit up to indicate charging as it would after the screen display turns off. I left it for a while and eventually the screen started working again (99% charge when I checked). I was then able to boot like normal.
However a while later the screen would not turn on again (just the momentary dim flash of colour at the top before black). I didn't do anything with it in this time. It just sat in standby before I tried using it again. The back button and hamburger menu buttons are not seemingly lighting up either. But the led works fine with notifications. I tested calling my phone and it rings fine - if I slide accept the call where it is normally on the screen, I can accept calls and talk like normal. But the screen remains black. So clearly the digitizer works fine.
I have tried taking out the battery for a long period of time, taking the battery out and discharging the remaining power by holding the power button (5 minutes), I have tried taking the phone apart and cleaning the display connector with some isopropyl alcohol and firmly reattaching. Screen is still black.
Is this a problem with a malfunctioning LCD or could it be something like the GPU? I don't want to pay $150-$250 for a replacement screen assembly only to find that it's some other problem
Thanks in advance!
I would suggest to get a new device.

I prefer to repair rather than replace unless I have absolutely no other choice, thanks.
Within the latst few days, the screen on my Galaxy S5 (T-mobile version) has had the following issues:
- Screen not turning on when I click the power button.
- Part of screen flashes when I click power button before going off.
- When screen does come on, it's pulsing quickly and and colors are off -- like all green.
I haven't dropped it or anything. I bought it from Ebay in September (https://www.ebay.com/itm/361348692112).
It seems to do this whether battery is charged or not....
I have solved this. The brightness setting was the lowest and it seemed to have a problem on this setting.
Hello there,
My screen doesn't turn on anymore after I plugged out its flex cable while the device was on. It once worked for a brief moment, got cloudy, flickered and darkened and I turned the device off.
Now it doesn't turn on anymore. I hear the device is vibrating, the capacitive buttons are lighting up (so I'm assuming the device is on) but screen is pitch black.
I tried with another motherboard, and it's the same.
Is it electircally charged or something? Do you guys have any kind of fix?
