Hi guys
I had a weird problem with the screen of my P3600...
I was using it as a gps with tomtom in a friends car, and that moment i had it screen down and was just supporting it with my hand on my leg. I was holding it gently and had no pressure on it!
I had turned of the screen and since we were on a highway i was just waiting for the exit witch was still a bit far. Around 5-10 minutes latter i turn around the phone and to my surprise the screen had 2 horizontal cracks all the way from one side to the other... The screen is still 100% visible and there were no liquid crystals spill, but 80% of the screen has no touch sensibility.
Resons why this happened? I would assume heat, since it was connected to the car lighter, and was on my leg, and also it was arround 35ºC... But then again, it wasn't unbearably hot, only warm... If it was because of this, i believe it has to be a factory fault. The screen has to be able to sustain more heat than this.
I've send it to RMA, but I'm afraid they just deny it saying it was because of a drop. There are no marks on the phone as it never dropped on the ground!
Anyway... Can you guys point me out to some site that sells spare screens for my P3600? I want to check out the prices so i have a better idea if they decide to charge for the repair, if they are charging too much, and if it's worth doing it myself.
Thanks in advance for any help!
(Sorry about my English )
im really desapointed about it, generally screens cost pretty much, i dont suggest buying new, asumming you have never drop the pda, you have to put press on them to change the screen with the warranty, go to other service poits and ask, they have to change the screen tell them to check everything inseide the phone first ( they can see if enything else is moved ( that means there was a drop) if not, they cant refuse to change the screen)
fixing it by your self seems to be hard.. ... i dont know... try harder making them change it free of charge...
similar problem
Last week when playing a game suddenly the screen went black and a couple of large cracks appeared on the screen. sound and phone were working but no picture.
I got the pda from my company and got it replaced right away, was told it was a known problem(in my company with a couple of hundred P3600 users)
Sorry for OT but I have to say it must be a cool company...
Well I had my HD2 for about a year and a half. All was well till a few weeks ago when the screen stopped responding after when I held down the power button to make the power down menu pop up in Android. Of course I worked around this and used a shutdown app. So all was again well till today when the screen stopped working completely on wakeup. I couldnt even unlock the screen. Finally after dozens and dozens of wakeups I finally got the screen working again now fearful of touching the physical buttons on the bottom of the screen. From reading it seems like the digitizer is at fault for this and I need to replace it.
So I am wondering what would be more practical, just getting a digitizer or just the whole screen assembly to avoid the problems of regluing the screen to the digitizer? I'm fairly technically versed and I do have a heat gun and tools for this operation but I really do not want to bump into a problem of either getting air bubbles or dust under the glass.
Has anyone ever replaced just the digitizer? If so is it hard to remove and replace and simply not worth the potential saving in money?
Hi,
HISTORY:
I've had my defy screen shattered a while back and sent it to Motorola for repair (they did a terrible job at that). Ever since I got it back I can see small dust particles accumulating inside the screen. Gradually after a couple of months the top right corner became non-responsive and I left it that way for another 4 months until now!
As the warranty period was over, I thought of trying to clean the dust and see if that works. Unfortunately the connector on the touchscreen(digitizer) broke off and it stopped the touch completely.
My Question:
Is it possible that I had damaged something else(can something else be damaged?) that caused the touchscreen to cease functioning? :crying:
I can change the digitizer after buying it from ebay. But I would hate to waste any more money if this doesn't solve the issue. How likely is it that the touch functionality will be restored if I change the digitizer?
LCD is working fine, and I can use the volume rocker and power button perfectly.
P.S. please don't flame me for asking already answered question, I've been through a lot of threads before opening this one.
Hey guys so earlier this year I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. I ordered an lcd + digitizer from ebay and installed it myself. Everything had been working fine for a couple weeks but then randomly one day I woke up and the bottom 1/4th of the screen didnt work. Also, my screen is not very secure onto the device. I can peel off the lcd if I desired. I put double sided tape on all the places that a guide showed me but the screen just doesn't seem to stay in which causes dust and other particles to get in between my screen. Could this be the problem?
Some things i forgot
This started off with only a small portion of the bottom part of my screen to stop working. But then it turned into my whole bottom 1/4th of the screen not working. However, the first time this happened, I fiddle with the screen since it comes off and just moved it around and the bottom 1/4th worked again. However the problem reoccurred and I can't seem to fix it this time.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried to open the phone again and press down on the digitizer pins to make sure they were secure. Still didnt work
sorry for posing this as it offers no solution
but just to say i have the same situation on a nexus 5.. came compete with frame.. worked for a week then bottom 1/2 inch stopped working
My upper 1/4th of the screen stopped working... Seems to be like a fairly common issue with the LG G2 and some cases appeared all of a sudden without drops or water, some other with a bit of liquid or slight drop to the floor.
In my case I think it was due to excessive moisture when I used the phone while sweating profusely.
A screen replacement is at hand right after I get my smartwatch
I recently dropped my g2 and cracked my screen. Screen is still working except a small part. The problem is my phone is heating up a lot. Could it be from the screen. If replace the will that do the job or there could be something else wrong.
Just thot someone could share their experience
Also the phone is now losing battery quickly and charging slowly probably due to the heating.
It only heats up at the top where the motherboard is located espeacially where you connect the touchscreen. Also the screen crack is also at e top just next to the speaker.
