No backlight on screen

Dropped my phone in the toilet, fished it out and brought it back from the dead-again. After I let it dry out for a day or two, everything worked, except the red and green buttons were constantly lit up. That was when the screen was completely backlit. Now the screen won't light up at all, and I know it's not the backlight settings. Is this fixable at all?

Same problem. Replaced broken LCD with new one. First it only gave white light. Now it works fine, only no backlight. Who knows a solution?

Mine is all good now, so if you want a working device or parts, let me know

[Q] Capacitive buttons not lighting up

I just noticed the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone are not lighting up. Is there a setting for this or does my phone have a glitch?
If purchased online can it be swapped at a Tmobile store?
The phone hasn't been rooted yet.

You probably came from the Vibrant with its capacitive buttons with their lights that always turn on. On the mt4g, they only turn on when it's dark enough to need them.

My bad on the capacitive thing. The buttons never light up though, even in the dark.

Capacitive button replacement part

I think the LED that lights the "Search" capacitive button of my phone is burnt out, since this button won't light up. It's not a Rom issue because the light doesn't light up at boot, nor when I change Roms.
I was wondering if anybody knows which is the part that actually has the LEDs. I think it might be the whole LCD part, but I'm not sure, and want to be positive before buying a part I wouldn't need. Thanks.

Well honestly, I'm not so sure about that. I've been looking at pictures/videos of the motherboard and the lcd display, and from what I can tell, the bottom of the lcd display is actually between the digitizer and the motherboard, so I do not see how on earth the LEDs could illuminate through the lcd display, if in fact that's where they are located.
From the picture I attached you can see what I think MIGHT be the LEDs, only if they actually shine at an angle. I thought maybe someone here might have taken theirs apart, but I guess I might just have to take mine apart and see for myself, if I muster up the courage.

Yes, it seems to be where leds are. However, we need to buy and replace the whole lcd part to make leds work again. Thanks for your discover :laugh:

S6Edge+ cracked screen, wake up problems

i have a S6 Edge+ and its got a cracked screen. it has a big black spot the size of a fingertip on the right middle like something stabbed it maybe.
sometimes when i got to wake it up, phone is on and i press the power button the lights on the bottom come on, the cascade window button and the back button............but the screen does not light up. it kind of flickers and i see the permanent damaged part, a green strip down the right side of screen but does not turn on.
sometimes i have to press the power button to wake up and put to sleep 6 or 10 times for the screen to light up.
my question:
do you think this is simply from the screen being damaged.
have you seen anything like this before on a phone
do you think if i spend the money to fix the screen this issue will be fixed?

Fixed by Sony, phone is insured.

Yes, take it to Samsung store to repairing.

Ok, I have booted into safe mode and the problem does not exist. this means its a sofware issue, obviously. Here is the dilemma, I have done factory and hard resets to include the cache partition. How might i go about fixing this issue until they release a new update from android 5.1.1???

Can anybody tell me what core we use to put the touchwiz snappier, I saw one one topic but I can't find it now. We only have to put the code and the phone was so quick like the day we Unbox the phone. Thanks

Nokia 6,power / volume buttons question.

Hello,i don't know if this is correct section where to describe this problem,but anyway is just an question so let it go.
Like title says,on Nokia 6 there is a problem with buttons design or i broke them ? Because i can see the backlight from LCD through power button,its just a very small space betwen aluminium body and those button,
where you can cleary see the light from screen.
I observed this after i did an hard reset,and i pressed maybe a bit to much power + volume up buttons,but they're working fine.
Also remember,in order to check this for me,do it in a dark place with LCD brigthness at least 50%,and move your phone whille looking at those buttons,you can only see the backlight from two differents angles,at least on mine.
So please check and report back to me,to know if this from design of the phone,or i broke them in some way.
My phone is global version,TA-1021,my english is bad sorry for that,i hope you understand me.

Normal, my ta-1033 is equal.
It's a build default.

You mean you can see an very small light from these buttons too right ? I barely see the light without case that cover those buttons from scratches & dust particles.

Yes! I have a transparent cover, and I have the same "issue".
It's normal, don't worry about it.
