lg g2 vertical stripes on the screen - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my lg g2 fell from a height and the display had these colour changing stripes on it. When I press on the bottom part of the phone, near the LG logo, half of the stripes go away, and then comes back when I release the pressure. Also, when the screen stays on for a few minutes, the screen gets blurry and a slight green tinge is formed. I saw one thread where the problem was the radio wire touching the LCD circuit. But that wasn't in my case. So is my screen really gone or there is something I can try before getting it replaced?

you can try with a heat dryer, open it, remove battery main board....

And then what? I tried opening and saw that the general issue that is the white radio wire touching the lcd circuit is not the case in my phone. I also put a plastic piece of paper on it so it doesn't touch. Is there anything else I can do?

Screen fading white. Is it my LCD? Flex cable? Other?

My display is progressively showing a mostly white, "washed out" display. It goes from completely normal to the washed out screen you can see in the attached pictures. (two "washed out" screens, followed by two normal) It happens much more frequently in portrait mode. When it first started happening, if I would open the keyboard just a little bit, the "white" would go away and the display would be nice and bright like it should be. At the time, it made me suspect the flex cable, so I disassembled the Hermes and made sure all connections are tight. That did not fix it and it is getting worse. Applying pressure to certain parts of the outside of the device can sometimes cause this to happen, other times it's completely random. Can anyone confirm if it is the LCD or flex cable? I don't mind replacing a part if I can be sure of the problem, but I don't want to waste my time and money if I can't be SURE it will fix the problem.
NO, I can not send it back to AT&T for warranty repair.

Screen protector "delaminating"!

I've been keeping my Touch HD carefully covered while waiting delivery of a screen protector.
When I came to apply the screen protector, I was horrified to discover that the top touch layer of the display seems to be separating from the glossy black bezel underneath in places
Note that the very edge doesn't seem to be separating, it seems to be just "internal".
Although it doesn't seem to affect operation of the device, it looks rather unsightly and I'm especially peeved after looking after it so carefully.
Anyone else seen anything like this ?

Don't wait and take it back to the shop for exchange!!!
Isn't that your screen protector coming off???
check carefully around the camera: if you see an edge, i bet you already have the screen protector! once i applied mine incorrectly, i could see exactly the same effect...but it was the film...
OMG, I am so dumb
I had peeled off the printed "protector" that came on the display when I bought the device, but there is indeed ANOTHER ONE underneath
It must have been applied so perfectly at first that I could not even tell it was there !
Thanks so much guys.. PANIC OVER, I hope

No more panic for other users! Thread renamed and closed!

[Q] Black spots on nook color screen

today when I powered on my nook color I noticed it has big black two spots and some distorted lines. Here is the image:

}
It also looks like the screen cracked (white aslant line), though I have to say the front glass is perfectly fine (not even a scratch). I haven't used it for about a week and I don't remember having it dropped during that time. Does anyone know what is it? Is it even possible to have broken LCD with front glass being untouched?
I'm in Europe right now but I have valid warranty - does anyone know if there is any B&S support here or I have to send it to my family in US?
Wow looks pretty ****ed up.
Wish I could tell you whats wrong but to tell the truth, the best thing I could give you is a guess...

Yup. You're screen is pooched. You can try and find a 3rd party screen replacement overseas, but your best bet is to send it back to the states and see if you can get it repaired or replaced under warranty.

[Q] Plastic layer on camera?

Hi guys,
For a long time I'm wondering is there's a plastic layer on the camera when you buy it. I notice something that could go for a plastic ring-formed layer around the camera lens, that holds a little dust at the rounded edges with time, but cant be pulled off? I tried all differend kind of things, but it won't come off... Still, I asked everyone of my family to see if they agree they see a plastic ring too, and they all said yes..
Have you noticed anything like this on your S4 camera?

Yes, there is a plastic guard on camera.
In my case, it popped out a bit from corner some months ago, which I later pulled off.
I cant seem to pull it..

there is a plastic layer over it
remember I tried to pull it off also and had some trouble since it seem not to remove
try with a sharp razor (at least that way I managed to remove it)

I was replacing my broken screen with a new assembly and I think I may have broke my screen when trying to press the speaker grills in. These dots are whiter than the area around them and are invisible on black. Did I break the screen while pressing the grill in, or is it defective? And can I fix it?

I think i may have found the problem. The upper portion of the last layer of the screen (the reflective layer that has the print on the back) seems to be peeling up. No idea how to fix it.

I sort of fixed it by placing some pads I made with cut up sticky notes pad on the areas where the layer was popped up. Still some distortion on the top dot but it's not so sharp. The left one is gone.

That dot on the left looks like mine (exact same area) when I put the screw in too tight. I loosened it a bit and now it's gone, but that whole row across the screen no longer responds to my touches.
