the story is, when i slide my brightness in between 30-60% i get this green line, and the display stop refreshing, BUT it still register my touch input.
AND, also, when this happen, the PITCH BLACK AMOLED KICKS IN.
AND, the screen gets whiter and whiter, with dead pixel dots everywhere.
if at 0% brightness, at BLACK wallpaper, there is no PITCH BLACK, all black is LIGHTED UP, like using an LCD display.
help
(UPDATE) ive tear open my s8, cleaned them with some isopropyl alchohol. and slap them back together.
one thing i noticed, is that whenever i install the wireless charging coil and tighten them with screw, i get the bloody white lines, and screen froze up.
then i disconnect the coil, everything is fine.
EXCEPT that the colour are still WASHED OUT, like an LCD panel, no PITCH BLACK at any brightness. any help?

Put everypart of your phone in isopropyl alchohol for 10 min and try again

Hi,
When charging, the amber light comes on and just above that where the top of the screen meets the metal frame there appears to be a leakage of light giving the impression the phone is not sealed properly or i cant work out if its a reflection of the amber lite hitting the metal frame, i pulled out the plug and had a close look under sunlight and i could not see any miniscule gap but it is a bit weird, just wondered if anyone else identifies, if not then there must be a tiny gap and the top of the phone cant be sealed properly, i have only had it 2 days and its BNIB.
Feedback appreciated
Thanks

Can you stop opening new "light-threads"...
Had to buy a screen replacement for my Nexus 4.
After the replacement i can see one distinct vertical line to the left. It's purple on white background.
I can also see it in recovery mode, but when i take a screenshot it doesn't show on the picture.
Is this a malfunction of the new screen, or did i mess anything up?
The screen i ordered missed the frame so i had to buy a front frame seperately and glue the screen to this.
I used this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSe1I0MlpLI
everything went well, except one thing; when i connected the flex cable to the frame (check @ 23:19) i removed the little blue transparent plastic sticker, i thought it was a protective sticker cause my screen was new.. (the guide also said i had to remove a sticker if it was new)
but i found out right after it was actually supposed to be there.. i sticked it back on, though i didnt take care to align it 100%,.
This was the only thing i did sloppy..
could this cause the vertical line? think i'm going to open it up again and try set it straight if the line annoys me too much, but does anyone know what the purpose of this little blue sticker is? it looks like plastic so i thought it weird that this should lie between a cable and the frame?
anyone know?
Not sure about the blue sticker but it's either a defective screen, or more likely a badly seated flex cable.
I haven't had to change a screen since my old Nokia n95. That had something similar. Though mine was a line of purple and the backlight would only come on if I squeezed the phone.
Taking the screen back off, removing and reseating the ribbon cable fixed this issue.
I'd say it's likely to be the cable because the colours are sent as rgb values.
In your case if your only getting red and blue to x row on the screen then that will appear as purple.
I'd be less likely to think that it's a screen problem because either the whole row would be black, or there would be specific pixels that would be missing an rgb and not the entire row

Hi, I accidentally washed my phone in a washing machine(don't ask why) on Friday. On Saturday I dried it out and when I tried to charge it the red light has shown. Yesterday the red light went away and there was a green light shown. The thing is, I can turn my phone on, I can take calls, I can feel the vibrations when I move my finger around the screen but it is completely black. So I would like to ask, is there a way to fix it? E.g. a new digitzer or something?? Thanks in advance.
If you get haptic feedback when you touch the screen, its not the digitizer. Probably just the screen itself. You can find a new one online, just google it or check ebay
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
Screen on my G2 was totally cracked up but the LED notification light still worked. Was red when I plugged in the charger. Was green when I turned on phone.
Got the screen replaced and now the LED notification light doesn't work. Charge the phone and no red light. Turn on the phone and no green light. Options for LED is turned on.
Is the notification led integrated into the screen? So I may have a faulty replacement screen?
Also read that maybe a factory reset may work but thats a last resort to check cuz I don't feel like setting phone all up again.
On a side note..do those screen repair stores you find in the mall usually use OEM or crap quality replacements? Je told me oem but i trust no one. Noticing as I press keys as i type I see parts of screen near finger get a little darker like if u press down on a LCD screen too hard. Other than that the screen is fine so far.

No its not.
Its a seperate part that attaches next to the selfie camera on the logic board.
Looks like the shop was in a hurry and forgot to connect the LED
As for the screen, I can say you have an aftermarket non OEM.
OEM they use LOCA or OCA to bond the Digitizer to the LCD.
By doing so, you have no weird darker/lighter effects when typing on it.
Just like the stock screen.
If you have those effects, I would recommend you have them replace the screen with one that's OEM and not an aftermarket.
My first screen repair story went like yours only I swapped it in myself.
Come to find out the seller sold me an aftermarket screen claiming it was OEM.
I had him refund me for it since I called him out on it quickly
Darn...hate confrontation so was hoping it was part of the screen so i can easily tell him to fix. Now he can just tell me it probably wasn't working due to dropping it but I know it was working. Could always fight the charge on my credit card if he's unwilling to do something about it.
As for aftermarket..i can tell him what you told me but he could jsut stick to his guns, lie and stay "its OEM" and probably nothing i can do about it.
Thanks for the info!
Using a light...it looks like there's nothing in there where the sensor/LED shoudl be..its like i can see to the back of the case.
EDIT: Opened up...the whole proximity part is missing!! I'm assuming the LED light is part of that since that's not working and its right next to it.
EDIT2: I guess the IR blaster is part of that too...lol
Thing that pisses me off now is that he didn't put in my factory stock part and will replace it with a possibly crappy aftermarket part.
I'm demanding some money back for this nonsense.
