Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge. It fell and bumped on the front screen. The touchscreen is (was) still working, but there was some flickering and the half-bottom of the screen had bands green and black continuously. I don't understand completely the damage because for example it seems that I can even only replace the "outer" screen but I think the damage is deeper.
There is a photo:

(XDA doesn't let me post the link, fix the link by yourself, please)
I even tried to search for the replacement screen but didn't find it. Could you link me a website where to buy the screen replacement? How do you think is deep the hurt?
More than this, some days (a week circa) after the broken display it was charging and was possible to use (even with the broken screen - in fact touchscreen was working). But suddenly it stopped charging at all. Plugging-in the cable makes the phone show the icon of the charging forever (it's turned off) but never shows the precentile. What is the problem? It was charging some days ago!
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I might have broken the screen on my HTC magic (sapphire) but i'm not completely sure. The screen does not show any signs of cracking, however shows a static screen of red green and blue horizontal lines (ill provide a picture). It is clear the phone still boots as it responds to touch (the vibrator goes off when I tap what would normally be my lock screen). Interestingly, the phone battery drains almost instantly (within 30 seconds) from a full charge and the processor gets warm, however, if I disconnect the screen it will remain on for a normal amount of time (vibrates, so I know it actually turned on, but no red light indicates battery is low).
So can anyone provide a diagnosis and possibly how I might be able to fix it? I appreciate any help.
Thank you.
I am not sure about your symptom. However, I found my htc magic had a vertical line last year but display ,multitouch, everything work fine. Luckily, it was in warranty, after I sent to the htc service center, they replaced my screen and the problem gone.
Thanks for the reply, did your screen look like the photo I provided of mine?, or was it just a single line through? I had a look on ebay, screens are only about $30 and by the look of things, not too hard to fit. However I am a bit hesitant as I cant be sure that the screen is the problem, because there's no signs of cracking, its just perfectly straight red green and blue bars vertically down the screen, which seems to me (i am far from an expert) like the screen isn't broken, the signal going to the screen is, also and it seems weird that the screen would cause the processor to heat up so much and drain the battery so fast. Anyone else with any ideas?
hi,
i have just bought out my dead elf from the closet to revive it back to life after reading the jtag method its been more then an year it had been lying in my drawer...first a little history my elf went down when it fell off my hands and the lcd started to malfunction it was like half screen black and half white but i cud still use the set ....then i dont know how it happened, now it wont even turn on if i tilt my device towards light a bit i can see that the lcd turns on for a sec without backlight then off...and nothing else no led no vibration or sound..!!!
so today i tried to jtag it and the worst case happened the copper plating on the pins came out.. ...so is their any other pin out??? i can see the exact same pins at the back on the same location are these the same pins..???
bumppppppp................
Hello my daughter do have this mobile phone. She came with it to me and display was filled with random color stripes over whole display ( verticall ). I have tried to restart phone but it wont turn on no single mark of life ( no charging marks of charging not even single vibrate if i try to turn it on ). I have tried to do restart or go to the download mode but nothing has work. She told me that she has dropped her phone but only thing that was broken was cover glass and not single scratch on display etc. Any ideas what can be broken? Could some cable got disconnected by dropping it?
I think that the LCD has a mechanical damage. I saw a phone once. The display glass was fine but not the lcd. It had wierd random color lines.
In that case replacing the LCD display was the solution.
You should try to charge the battery. Maybe it is empty but you can't see the charging?
Hello everyone,
i recently acquired a used P10 plus almost for nothing.
the guy i bought it from said it fell on a carpet and it wont turn on anymore.
the symptoms were:
*black screen
*red led blinking (first 3 fast blinks, later only 1 every couple of seconds)
So i thought to myself, probably battery issues from the fall, maybe it disconnected somehow.
I disassembled the phone, reconnected every cable, but still same symptoms.
i read somewhere that red led usually means battery dead or the small charging motherboard (?) is broken. So i ordered both from Aliexpress and installed them today, but still the same issue.
i connected the phone on the charger without the battery, the screen came on (but it seems its broken also - only vertical lines and a crack, lol).
Any ideas?
should i order a new screen and try to fix it or should i give up? (i read somewhere that people couldn't power up their phone after screen replacement)
thank you guys in advance!
well, i guess ill just give up.
i was hoping for an idea of what to do, but nothing.
a shame really, i was hoping to get it back to work again.
cheers!
My galaxy s5 started acting up a month ago. The screen will flicker green/yellow then go black, or stay black entirely. It got a lot worse recently where it will only work hitting the power button 1% of the time. Is this a hardware issue? Or software?
When the screen dims before sleep, it spazzes out too. I've noticed it works better when it warms up from charging too. But still fails to display way too much. It still registers touch when black. I replace the battery a few months ago BTW.
If the device has no hope, can you guys reccomend a good cheap phone?
Put your phone on max brightness & set your phone to never turn the screen off
Leave your phone screen turned on with max brightness for a at least a few hours
If that doesn't solve it then you may need a new screen - it is a hardware fault on these devices with these types of screens
If I were you I'd also follow the advice of
TheFixItMan said:
. I'd make sure to run a slideshow in your gallery while having your screen at max brightness though as this may reduce the risk of having burn-in on your screen.
If all fails you could buy a new display for your S5. I did so myself recently as I kept having "snowstorms" on my display when I turned my phone/ the screen on. Worked for me, managed to get a new and genuine one from a reputable seller on eBay. Hope you won't have to resort to the latter though.

@TheFixItMan thanks for the advice, I tried it last night, and it didn't improve at all. Is there any possibility that the device isn't giving the screen enough power? Because I have better success when its plugged in. What do you think caused this to happen after 5 years?
@James160103 Thanks, I tried it and it didn't work. I'm exploring all my options. For $10 more then an OEM gs5 screen, I can get a gs7.
Perhaps it's got something to do with your new battery then, did you buy a genuine Samsung battery? How about sticking the old one back in and seeing if that makes a difference?
Also try using a genuine Samsung power adapter and charging cable.
It's worth a try anyway. Let me know if that made a change.
If it doesn't help you could remove the screen from the phone and press the flex cable from the digitizer downwards to see if it might be a loose connection between the motherboard and the screen that's causing the problem. I'd try that as a last resort though as you could damage your display in the process (replaced the screen myself and managed not to break anything, did it for the first time). There's lots of videos on YouTube (I recommend JerryRigEverything) that could help you out.
While this is unlikely, you may want to try before buying an S7.
Also, try booting into TWRP and playing around with the brightness settings and turning the display on and off again to see if it's some bug with the OS (again, unlikely but it's worth trying).
Please let me know if any of the oprions worked for you or made a difference, cheers.
@James160103 my old battery can't hold a charge, so I disposed of it. My new one has been fine for a few months without any problems. As far as a charger, I have a better charger then the stock, and a thick gauge nylon wrapped cord, that's been doing fine for the last 2-3 years.
The whole display issue isn't just on the OS, when I boot normal or into recovery it stays black, or flickers for a split second.
I did notice that if I hold it in front of my car vent, with full heat. Once its warm it seems to work, just until it cools off. I'm guessing its a hardware issue at this point, but I'll try to check the connection.
Thanks for your help
Facing this exact issue. It has gotten worse now.
