I recently replaced the screen in my phone, but then new screen receives no touch input. This is the second screen I've ordered that had this problem, though the last one had lines after turning the screen off and on once. I've replaced screens before, so I generally know what I'm doing. I'm pretty sure Something on the inside is damaged.
Also, the battery is also keeping the back from going on all the way. Not sure what I managed to do to everything.

Hello everyone...
Ive been doing as much research as I can, but can't find any solution.
I had to purchase a new LCD screen for my cingular 8125.
When i installed the screen, it only boots up with a white screen. Ive read that this has happened to a few others, but no one has posted a solution.
All cables are connected securely, and pushed in far enough. i've experiment with everything. Ive hard reset, ive even tried with another motherboard from a different 8125 phone. nothing but a white screen. I plug my old screen in (still works, just discolored), and it works fine.
Ive read somewhere that there are two generations of the screens. But the part numbers on the screens match up, so im not sure that this is the problem.
Any suggestions? Could the screen just be no good?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
I had a problem with a white stripe when I replaced my screen. I returned it and got a new one...problem solved.
i'm assuming im going to have to return it as well, but i'm trying to avoid the inconvience if possible. ive read that a few people have had this problem, and later replied to their own post saying they fixed it...but never said how...
I had this last week - it was a case of not quite seating the screen ribbon connector properly.
Severl times I fired it p only to see a fully white screen, playing around with the seating of the connector fixed it.
nope...ive messed around with it numerous times. just pulled it back out and tried again...actually hooked up what i needed without putting the phone back together so i could mess around with the ribbon while the phone was powered on...still just white....i suppose it has to be a bad screen?
could be a bad screen.
did you replace the tape that was on the LCD ribbon?
I have replaced about 25 screens and that tape is very important..trust me.
i just replaced the screen on my focus n i used it all day n made some calls then all of a sudden the screen went black on a call n it hasnt come back on since. i have tried taking out the battery, plugging it into the computer, i even updated it. and still yet a have a black screen. the touch funtions still work i can use the phone unlock it select things i just have no display. please help
Screen issue? You might need to take it apart again and check the connectors...
i tried that today n still no luck
As I said, screen problem? Although new, it might be gone. Which might also indicate another issue related to the screen (some circuit overloading?)
Ok, so first thing's first. I've been researching this for a few days now before creating this post. The touchscreen issues I'm finding online, are similar to what I'm experiencing, but the solutions have already been done, or my phone is not responding to them. I'm making this thread to see if anyone else has experienced the same issues or has any new news before I a) return my phone to stock, b) replace the digitizer, or c) buy a new one or upgrade to the G3.
My G2 was rooted, but kept on stock ROM with only small tweaks here and there. After the latest update, I noticed my work G2 had much better reception, so I returned my phone to stock to download the update. After updating, I re-rooted the phone, this time, the only thing I changed was the keyboard which I replaced with the G3 keyboard. Everything was fine for months until about a month ago.
It started with not being able to pull down the notification shade on the right half. No biggie, but after a week or so, it got worse. While using instagram, I noticed that the confirm button was sporadically responsive. Sometimes it worked fine, other times it didn't work at all. It began to progressively get worse on an almost daily basis. I decided to see what was going on and enabled both input options in the developer options menu. I found that the entire right side, about 1/8" was not responding to touch, the area not covered by glass screen protector( i removed it later while trying to troubleshoot). The upper right area showed about a half inch block that wasn't responding (the area where the data ribbon is). I was ok with that as instagram was really the only thing I used being affected.
About a week ago, the mid left screen area started being errratic. It began to get worse and started to affect the front touch screen buttons ( the area where the other data ribbon is). I enabled the input options again and saw that I now had a good portion of my left side of the screen was unresponsive. Even though I didn't drop it, I thought maybe the data ribbons had come loose as those 2 areas are where they are. I opened and disassembled the phone and re-sat the connctions after inspecting them. I double-checked all the other connections and LDIs in case humidity was the culprit. Everything looked good. Didn't fix the problem.
I've had to set my phone to unlock by facial recognition to ensure I don't get locked out, and changed my pin to use numbers not affected. I'm going to replace the digitizer, but wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue, or knew if it was, indeed, a software issue before I spend $75 (I will be replacing the digitizer and LCD to get it working sooner rather than risk damaging the LCD while replacing the digitizer and having to wait another week). I don't want to send it in to LG because I bought it on ebay and have no proof of purchase for warranty, and I want it working sooner.
One thing I noticed that may help with diagnosing, the screen now looks different when off. Before, in direct sunlight, you could see the dotted matrix from the digitizer, and that was it. Now, I can see the retangular pattern across the entire screen. I checked my work G2 which I just received a few months ago and the rectangular pattern is only visible on the edges of the screen, the center is black with only the dotted matrix visible. Keep in mind, this is in direct sunlight. In shade, the rectangles are visible on both.
I'm hoping it's a software issue, but I'm wondering if the digitizer is starting to separate from the LCD. I don't see any acutal separation though.
Thanks for reading the book, and for any feedback. Also, because it will probably come up, I want to avoid upgrading if I can because the G3 is just a little too big.
I restored the phone to stock with the most up to date software. Still doesn't work. It appears to be a hardware issue. I really thought it was software because the dead spots word for a split second after turning on the phone. Oh well. Guess I'm going to order a new digitizer or LCD combo.
Pulled my phone out of my pocket this morning and saw lines, distortion through out the screen. Everything except the top 1/4 of the screen. Screen wasn't hit. Was working fine a hour a so earlier. Really just want to know if anyone has seen this before. I'm pretty sure it's the screen but want to make sure before I go and order a new one. Thanks for any help.
Maybe loose connection between lcd and flex cable? These screens don't just get defective out of no reason.
Hello,
The left side of the screen shows some Missingno type glitching (I've attached some pics)
Does anyone know where this type of problem comes from?
I had the screen replaced and it worked beautifully afterwards for a couple of days...
I also installed system updates.. so I'm wondering; is this a hardware or software issue?
Thanks for your time and interest

Happened to my wife. Needed to be returned and fixed, hardware glitch not software. I am not sure if it was a screen issue or some other hardware.

Did you have the screen replaced because of the screen flashing, or did the flashes start only after you had the screen replaced?
If the problem has been consistent over the course of two different screens, it would point towards a hardware fault on the sending end of the display connector, right where the ribbons leave the motherboard.
If this problem is brand-new, it might just be that the display connector was not fully secured when the new screen was installed.
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Left side goes all grey and static looking.
I took it apart and reseated the screen ribbon connector and at first I thought it made a difference, but now it continues to glitch out. I took it apart a second time and it has the half screen right at boot up. Sometimes it goes away just setting on the desk but seems to come back regularly. Its only the visual part of the screen, the touch points are still all in the same locations. And when I took a screen shot while it was glitching, the screen shot came out normal. So I am hoping its only the screen/digitizer that is going bad.
I am going to buy a new screen and see if that fixes it. Its only $60 on eBay and its pretty simple to take apart. I will post back if it fixes the problem. That way if someone else has the issue they will know.
Moto x style display problem
I have got the similar problems with display and I will return for warranty repair. I will tell you later what happened.
Downgrade to Lollipop , It worked for me.!

(This is the tip for everyone)
I replaced the screen and that seems to have fixed it for now. I haven't had much chance to use it since the screen replacement though. I will update in the next week or so and let everyone know how the screen replacement holds up.
The replacement screen only lasted about a week and now the righthand side has glitched out. I am going to take it apart and put it back together but i think its time for a new phone.
These phone are getting cheap and I really like it so I may just get another. Although the lure of a dual sim version is attractive.
