Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

had the same problem its a hardware issue. tmobile sent me a new phone no questions asked
Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one
Woke up today to my alarm. Was going though emails when the screen started flickering. I rebooted the device and after a few more flickers it went black.
A little background - Phone is running Galaxy S 3 software. Didnt drop it recently or do anything out of the ordinary.
I can unlock it and it kicks back with vibration. I know it unlocks as then i can hear the volume key chimes when pressing vol up and down.
Could this be a power cable to the screen came loose? or am i screwed and have to get a new phone??
Any help would be very appreciated.
You could always try getting to the camera app, either through the lockscreen or the camera button. It should light up your screen then you could go change the brightness in the settings.

Yeah i tried that. The screen itself is just not turning on. Time to get a new phone i guess. I have ready horror stories about trying to replace them. I just wish Tmobile had a HTC device that i liked.
So after the last two weeks of using a blackberry,:crying:, i finally ordered a GS3. When i got it yesterday i decided to pull the SD out of the mytouch. Then the phone booted up with the screen working again!!! I have been playing with it all day and there are no more flickering or dead screen issues. Looks like i have a back up now. I still dont understand what was wrong or why it just decided to work after two weeks of being shut off.
I dropped my S4 the other day and cracked the glass but it continued to work. A few days later I picked the phone up and hit the side button to bring up the display and now all I get is a flash and the screen remains black. Rebooted, pulled battery and still does the same. You can still hear emails coming in and when I get a phone call I can swipe the screen and take the call but it remains black. The only thing that lights up is the led and the menu and back button. I took it apart looking for a loose cable but saw none. Any ideas? New digitizer?

Hi
I'm a long time note line user and am thinking of getting a used note 10.1 2014. I'm concerned about the black screen issue I've read on Amazon reviews. I checked out a review unit a local t-mobile and it had the same problem. Is this really that common? Is there a way to safely get a used one? Thanks for the help.

@swid441 Black screen issue? You backlight bleeding?
Not back light bleeding. It's the issue where screen goes and stays completely black. Tablets is on and capacitive buttons work but no display- all black.

I've had that happen to me after I dropped mine once...with 2 cases on. Anyway, to fix it, I just open up the back and reconnected the screen, very easy to do, I think it jarred the tiny connection. The tablet is so awesome otherwise and it might never happen if I hadn't dropped it
Edit: I popped the back cover off, unhooked the LCD ribbon cable and plugged it back in. Put the cover back on and tried to power on. Nothing happened. Not even the soft keys lit up. Plugged the power cable in and tablet came on like it never had an issue. Glad I found this thread before I spent $150 on the LCD and digitizer.
What did you use to open up your Note? I rebooted my note the other day and the screen was black. The buttons light up but the screen is off. I want t to try and reconnect the cable before I but a new lcd and digitizer.
Did you open it from the front or the back and what did you use?

If its still showing black screen, keep reconecting, smoothing the cable oit and pressing the un sleep key to see if the screen is on. The cable is so sensitive it takes me about 6 tries to get it perfect. I use whatever I have around to open it, like my thin nail file, very carefully, around the silver edges from the front. I remember I saw a youtube video of this somewhere. Good luck
I broke my phone and just received a new one from the Geek Squad. Two things. When I make a phone call the screen immediately goes black and won't come back on until I push the on button on the back. Really sucks, hard to end call. Also when it times out I have a really hard time getting the screen to light up again. Some times it takes 8 to 10 times pushing the on button and swiping the screen. Any ideas?

I would go back and Tell them to fix it. Did they repair your screen? It is possible that the proximity scanner was not plugged in properly or out of its slot.
