So I've cracked my Moto G4 Play glass, and I had to buy a new screen. After I lift up the back cover, I disconnect the old screen and put the new one in order to test it I thought it wasn't working since it didn't light up, but right after a few seconds my bootanimation (not bootlogo) showed up and the phone booted just fine. Quality was OK, touchscreen worked great and the gosthing was minimal, so I've ended up installing it.
But before I put all the screws again, I've tried out the original screen and both bootlogo and bootloader were working normally.
I really don't care since I'll be selling this device as it looks brand new, not a single scratch on it's body, but it's really strange that a screen replacement would cause such problem. Does anyone have a clue?
Hello friend, do you speak Spanish?

Hello just for information,
I broke my trinity screen and I baught a new screen to a HK seller and i replace it.
I had already flash the firmware (faman 3.6 full) before changing the screen.
So everything seems ok when I put the phone power on but As soon as I put the creen off, I am unable to put it on it appears every time in a complete white screen !!!! to have something on the screen I have to reboot the phone.
I just reflash the phone again with faman 3.6 and it's still the thame problem completly white after turn the screen off then on ...
I try also an official orange WM5 (gps active) and the screen work's well i try after to switch again in WM6 and it doest work :white screen again ...
Can every one help me ?
@ Rich: Check the 'How to dissamble the Trinity' thread. Are your sure that the LCD is broken ? Could also be just the digitizer (USD 8 at cnn.cn.shop).
If you succeed to dissamble the display you should be able to attach a new digitizer.
The only problem are the two black levers ... (one for the display cable, one for the digitizer).
Good luck

I cracked my Trinity screen with a bad golf swing. Then I bought a replacement screen on ebay, found a disasembly guide, took my trinity apart, replaced the screen, put everything back together, and it works fine! cost me 70 EUR to fix it.
do it following the disassembly guide - taking the trinity apart is rather complicated, you will not figure it out by yourself.
Sometimes I wonder what the engineers drink before designing such complex assemblies!
Hello,
I'm facing the following situation:
I droped my Trinity and the LCD broke on the left side pretty bad. It booted fine after that (the LCD was still visible on the right side) but after 10-15 seconds it just froze. The hardware buttons were not working, nor the touch commands. I could only rest the phone with the stylus.
I successfully replaced the LCD by myself and now I'm stuck with the freeze. I was hoping the freeze will disappear but I have the same symptoms as before.
I tried a hard-reset but after that the phone froze during the booting process with the logo on the screen.
I entered the bootloader and connected the phone to the PC. It worked just fine and the freeze didn't occur anymore. I uploaded a new ROM but again, during the booting process I got the goddamn freeze.
I was hoping that everything beside the LCD survived the crash but I'm starting to have second thoughts.
I would appreciate any advice or hints on how to find what could cause my problem.
Thanks
If its freezing up on you then I would imagine you've caused some hardware damage.
Like you, I would have hoped that replacing the broken LCD woudl fix it, but there's nothing to say you havent partially damaged or dislodged something else, especially if it was a high-impact drop...
PS
I wouldnt try doing any more uploads to it either if I were you. If it freezes up during one of those then you could end up trashing the program area of your device too!...
Hi guys,
I had quite the same problem, without braking the lcd but anyway it fellt from a airplane onboarding bridge :-( and then it has started to randomly freeze.
I think I may have found something. I've noticed that when I press strongly the battery it's not freezing anymore!
I've opened the phone and saw that under the little metalic protection's plate there were a contact plate between a little black component and this metallic protection'splate. I've cleaned it, apply some thermal past (like cooling artic) and the I've put a little sheet of paper between the plastic frame and the metallic protection's plate. I've all remounted.. And surprise!!! not one freeze since two day!!
I hope it will last.. but if yes this s F### great
ähm.. I release any kind of responsabilities concerning this action. I'm not a professional but as soon as it has work for me I wanted to share it ;-)
Seeeervus!!
Dodjob.
Ok, so my G2 died the other day. Well, it still works great, but the screen went to white fuzz... like what you used to see when the rabbit ears on your Tube TV didnt get any reception. Static fuzz, but thats all it showed when i powered it on.
The phone, that day before it broke, was on the boat and got really hot. Once it cooled down that night this happened.
In my grand fix it fashion, i opened the phone up wrong and ripped the LCD ribbon off the screen. Blah. So I just ordered a new OEM lcd panel/touch digitizer kit from ebay.
Popped that in the phone, and behold, it booted to the LG logo!! then the logo went out. That was that, just a black screen. But the phone still was working, i can hear it boot up and receiving texts.
I tried to boot it a few more times (disconnect the battery, reconnect, boot). The LG logo comes up, then goes out.
I found out if i let the phone sit for 30min or so, it will actually boot just long enough to hit the desktop and it seems fine. But it wont respond to touch at all, then seconds later it goes black again and thats that until I let it cool.
There is nothing else apparently wrong. It just wont respond to touch at all and the screen blanks out soon after boot. Its definitely some chip heating up too much and failing. I see on the main ribbon assembly, the one that connect the LCD to the mainboard, has some chips on it... it reminds me (A LOT!) of the TCON boards on LCD TV's. When those go bad, the TV still works fine but the display is all messed up. So I ordered that assembly and it will be here in a few days... but has anyone seen this before? does that ribbon assembly really ever fail? Again, the motherboard would be the only thing left, but that does still boot and work... I haven't tried connecting it to a TV but i wouldn't be surprised if that works... it just doesnt display anything on the phone's screen.
cable assembly didnt work :/
ordered a motherboard. this will be a practically new phone by the time its working again... if ever...
SUCCESS!!!
New motherboard installed. Finally boots and works properly. Well, it sort of has to, because there wasn't much left to replace! New screen/digitizer, ribbon assembly/charger port, and motherboard!
Just did the manual lollipop update!!!!! I got my phone back!!! screw you crappy 4" backup that i hated!
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.
Hi
Shortly
I bought a new lcd+toch screen because the old one broke from dropping on the ground, so I bought new lcd+toch and replaced it with the old one. After that the phone booted normally, no mistakes seemed to pop up. But when it got to the 30sekond mark and the at N t logo came up it had white strips from top and logo doubled up so there was like mirrored twice, everything on the screen was doubled and it not working as it should.
Thanks ahead
