you should try to hard reset or flash with other rom.. if it doesn't work i think you should sell it.. coz if the one broken is the lcd, it will cost quite expensive..
I had the same problem. Some parts of screen did not work. I had to send it to the repair service. And they have replaced a new screen.
Probably you need to do the same.
thanks
don't another way ?

Maybe dust inside your LCD... Like my, the tech guy says too much dust in my LCD...
First of all, the LCD has nothing to do with the touch screen.
It is a separate thin layer on to of the LCD called the digitizer.
It should not be as expansive to replace, but before you send it to the lab, try the following:
1) If you have a screen protector of any kind remove it.
2) See if you can get to Start->Settings->System->Screen->Calibrate
(maybe using hardware keys or some kind of remote control app)
Try to recalibrate the screen.
3) Try to hard reset your device (make sure you backup all data first!) by holding camera and comm manager buttons (on the left side) and pressing reset.
If non of that works you definitely have a hardware problem (possibly a loose connection) and should send the device to a repair shop.
Changing ROM is unlikely to solve this problem and will only void the warranty if you still have any.
Ok I need help from the gods of xda
I dropped my tilt the other day. When I picked it up everything seemed fine, yet the screen was completely white. No signs of cracks or a broken lcd. So I've tried the following: Soft reset, Hard reset, took out the battery, took apart the phone and disconnected the lcd and then re connected it. Still the same problem. WHITE SCREEN!
I can still receive/make calls, when i touch the screen in places where i remember the menus to be it still responds due to the noise, also the open and close noise still sounds.
The phone was bought new on Ebay, so i don't have a warranty through them or AT&T. After much research I hear people saying the same has happened to their phones as well and that there is a ribbon or flex cable problem. Something about still giving power to the LCD but not data, thus the white screen.
Now what I dont understand is do I need a new LCD because it has that ribbon/flex cable on it???? (link)
or
Do I need this product?(link)
Both contain a "flex cable" so im confused and frustrated, someone please help! any ideas would help

hi there, would it be possible to post the link to ebay item? i also need a new touch-screen.tnanks
I am curious about this as well. I have a friend who has a hermes and he mentioned to me that that his screen was starting to go white like explained here. I look at his phone and I also noticed that the bottom hardware keys were not working at all.
I am wondering if this same ribbon cable for the LCD would also be the same one for the bottom keypad and if I fix the screen the keys will become active again.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,

Tuck in for a long read and perhaps no single answer for all cases:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
In short, yes the d/pad cable and LCD screen connections are linked which is why it is not uncommon for the white screen to show up when the d/pad is not working.
To the OP - I would just point out that if you get the white screen after a fall it may just be a loose connection at the d/pad and no need for new parts.

But let's not start discussing the white screen here, please use the first link I gave above if you need to post.

a user i dont recall now his name,fixed is whitescreen by replacing the camera,open the device and remove the camera module, reassemble to test.
Hello, I have a Motorola Defy, that I dropped a few times, so the LCD screen got damaged with blue dots on it, I made a mistake and thought that the problem was on the touch Screen, so I purchased a replacement, installed but, it was damaged, the touch did not respond correctly, I wasn't able to type correctly among other problems.
I got a refund, then ordered a LCD screen replacement, now that I have it here, I install it, and it's broken:crying: I know, bad luck and being a rookie while trying to fix my phone, ok, I put back my old (damaged) LCD screen to use it in the meantime, and the old touch screen, but now, the old touch screen that was supposed to being working fine, it doesn't, it has the same problem as the touch screen that I bought.
Question is: the problem with the touch screen, could be related to the damaged LCD screen? or the motherboard of the phone is damaged? the phone works great, the apps, the games, everything but the touch screen and the LCD screen, but, as I said, I went back to the default touch screen after using the damaged one that I received, and it works worse I don't know what's wrong, please help me out, sorry for the long post
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Moved there.

Is this true?
true. fix some minor dead pixel if you put in freezer for one day. but your case... im dont hope much.
Try changing LCD + Capacitive Digitizer. (after trying the freezer trick ofcourse)
Well i will tell my story, which is related to your's as well,
i had a phone with resistive touch screen and it got screwed up, that is it does not respond correctly. So, i took it to the service center and they replaced the digitizer (touch screen) saying that previous one is broken. But, luckily the new one didn't responded to any touches they make.So, they replaced it again with the old one quoting that "your phone can't be repaired". So, i took it home with me.
Later i thought to calibrate the screen but the old one is not responding any more, no matter where i press
Later i calibrate it with the help of a software for windows mobile with the help of a PC. It took me to the calibration screen, from where i calibrated it, and voila, it worked... as good as a new one :victory:
long story short,
i think when you disconnected your digitizer, phones default values/drivers got messed up and are unable to find the new or the old digitizer you connect. I suggest you to go to the service center as these screens can not be calibrated.
Is there NO WAY at all to recalibrate the screen from the phone itself? or using an application? the delicalibration might be the problem....I'd like to fix it myself :/ thanks for the tip, never heard about it before!!

I replaced my original digitizer screen for the one I ordered it, it gave me problems, so I went back to the original one, which was working fine, and now it's not fully responding, that's why I'm assuming is something calibration related, thanks!
help
my search button back light is not glowing ..i saw it is also not glowing in recovery...any help
Hi guys, if someone here suffered from this kind of flickering >>VIDEO LINK.
How do you managed to fix it? What part did you change, the screen or the motherboard? Thanks. Really need some help. My phone now is unusable.
]]]]]] UPDATE 1[[[[[[[
Hi guys, just got my G2 back from the dead.
I send my G2 to a phone care in the city and they said my lcd is the problem, they changed the lcd+digitizer (the whole half of my G2 )and now the problem is gone. But When I got home I noticed vertical lines on my G2 when it is turned off, not really noticeable but if you look closely you can see the vertical lines and thinking that they change it with a low quality LCD. Even in white backgrounds you can see the lines but only if you have a clear eyes . I compared it to the original LCD and I don't see any vertical lines at all, it's all black. But the frame of the new lcd is solid like the original. So, in the future, will this new LCD survive or should I go the phone care again? Thanks!
***********UPDATE 2************
[UPDATE]
I think my G2 is working now after playing games for hours in 5 days, no flickering/stuttering/jittering noticed.
But, my IMEI was change and it was rooted jellybean when they give it to me. I don't know if they change the motherboard or the whole phone except for the body case and the new screen i purchased. I asked them about the changes of the phone because it's my second time returning the phone and the women on the counter said their tech just adjust something. I don't believe that, and then I saw the IMEI changed. I didn't ask why my IMEI was change, i'll wait til something goes wrong on my G2 and sue them. LOL.
I have some questions regarding this.
1) I'm not really sure if how an IMEI was change, is it for changing the motherboard?
2) Is it legal that they don't tell me what they change on my phone?
For now my G2 is still alive and no problem after upgrading to lollipop + root + twrp. Hope it goes all well now.

i went to lg service and they changed some filters on motherboard in 2 hours filter,EMI/Power 2 quantity i read on the paper. i was on warranty..
That looks crazy, it definitely would be a motherboard issue, or, I had a simliar issue while repairing them (I've re-sold about 20 of them) the flex ribbon sometimes gets dirty, or out of place(the one on the bottom under the speaker). You have to remove the back, then remove the speaker(6 screws I believe on the bottom, it;s an L shape). Once you do that, make sure the square flex cable is connected well, and there is nothing touching the circuit right under it(It has a plastic tape to keep it from touching).
The connector I'm referring to is right next to the USB one on the flex. For obvious reasons I got the image from ETrade supply. You can clean the connectors with 91% or higher alcohol, DO NOT use anything less.

I think i'm out of warranty because i bought it when it was newly released. Do you think lg sc will fix it by paying them cash?

When you replace your lcd they always tell you to make sure you have both connectors securely in place above the usb connector. One of them is the ground connection to your LCD!
Make sure both are fastened correctly and test before you seal your phone back together.
Keep us posted

Will go to service center after I worked for cash, lol.

I hope someone here share their experience on their 2nd LCD. Thanks!
:crying: :crying: :crying:
[UPDATE]
After few days of youtube and playing games, my phone started stuttering/flickering again like on my first post -_-
I paid for the new LCD that they change, should I pay another bucks for the motherboard problem? or they'll give me a refund for the new LCD I bought that didn't fix my problem? Please someone reply me asap. Thanks
This error is on mainboard. Fix it is very simple. I has lot about 10$ for this solution.sorry bbecause my english's bad.

Hi guys, i have a similar problem. I bought a new lcd on aliexpress.....that is the video of the problem....
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/glzqihgdzz12jsj/Lgg2_lcd.mp4
The strange thing is , not in every operation make the same problem. after days i see that problem usually on facebook and a lot on clash of clans .
I make also a screenshot on the clash of clans and when i open the picture the screen flickering .....
its like when the phone show some combination of color make this problem
My Lg PRO 2 Phablet did the same from first turn on, flickering on and off, very dissapointed as i had mine direct from Hong Kong and couldnt send it back. What i did was to tak all of the screws out and take the plastic back off, then re fitted the back only, no screws and turned on, no more flickering. Then i put a couple of screws in and tried again, still no flicker, then after a couple of more screws by the sim socket it started to flicker again! Now i just run the phone minus a few screws, it must be a pressure thing!
Hi, i have exactly the same problem, specially in combination of colors (green red and blue most of the time). how did you manage to fix your phone ? did you change the mainboard ? thanks for your help.
