Hi Guys,
As others, droped my phone and broke the front digitiser glass so got one of ebay and tried replacing it. after replacing it i could not see anything on the screen, I could atleast see something before.
so I thought screen was broken so replaced the screen but same thig. Ii vibrates when i power up, even charges and my PC can see the phone when I connect it
Just wondering if it could be any cable although I have opened it few times and made sure cables are connected properly
any help will greatly be appreciated
regards
Looks like no one knows the solution!
would any one know any good repair shop in London or England?
regards

hey all i am currently having a problem with me htc s621.
when my phone is on it randomly turns to a white screen after a 2 day period or so. and after a while of turning off phone/taking out battery/taking out sim card and doing this a lot it goes back to normal. im getting pretty mad and was wondering if i need to get my phone replaced or what.
any advice is helpfull. and the phone is not updated to 6.1 or anything like that. btw it all started to happen after i dropped my phone one time. i am not sure if that helps or not.
thanks in advance

The phone may be damaged. Is it a stock phone or has it be flashed with a rom?
it is purely stock no upgrades at all. today it did something new, it was white then 20 min later wen back to normal without me turning it off or anything. should i bring it in into warintee or anything i can do to help it?
I have seen simular situations before. It is possible that when you dropped it, the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the board became dislodged and is only making a partial connection. Or the LCD is just plain broken and needs to be replaced. You can get a new LCD on ebay for around $30 USD and do it yourself or take it to a repair shop and have then look at it for you.
i believe i will take it into the store tommorow. get a professional statement and opinion to see what i should do. thanks alot guys

I recall reading some time back concering the cause of the white screen had something to do with the backlight time, try making some adjustments with the backlight. Also do a serious search for that old thread dealing with this problem..............!
You would probably need a new screen and the best option would be to replace it yourself because you could find a cheap one off ebay and then just youtube and you could find on how to install the new screen.
hello guyz!
my samsung galaxy 3 i5801 display got damged recently!so i took my cell to local samsung cervice center! he said that the display screen is not available! so he replaced my damaged screen by a duplicate screen! the problem with this screen is it shows different colours when seen from different angles(basically its a TFT screen i guess)! this really hurts my eyes ! so i am planning buy a new screen where can i get one?
i search them on ebay and i found some!but i could not decide which one to get! all are for i5800 and mine is i5801 ! i guess it dosent really makes any difference! As i am not allowed to post urls please search "Display Screen For Samsung Galaxy 3 i5800" on ebay.com and tell me which one to buy!
Thank you!
How much did you spent on replacement LCD ?
Did samsung guys sold you a duplicate/non-company authorized screen, this would be the strangest thing I heard about any company service center.
I don't think you should be buying it off Ebay without knowing about details of screen and a couple of reviews about it.
I recently saved my Galaxy 3 as it suffered from non-functional touch screen and a broken volume button connector, had to fully dis-assemble and do the stuff to fix it.

Hi are you still want to use your Samsung I5801? My phone(I5801) display got damaged. Please let me know. You can email me at "Sanjayforweb (at) gmail (dot) com
I have a huge problem, basically I was sick and tired of my black housing for the phone, so I ordered the white one from ebay. I was so happy it came that I forgot to shut down the phone, well during half way of the work, while I was trying to pry it open I remembered and turned it on and it worked I opened it a bit more open and it suddenly went black and since then everything is working except the LCD.
I have no idea whats the problem is the LCD broke or what?
Also when it shut down and me trying to reconnect the LCD flat cable to see if thats the problem I was nervous and did that which you see in the picture. Now my issue is what if I buy a new screen connect it and it doesn't work because the FPC connector?

The connection pins themselves do not look damaged, on the plastic shroud. The socket should work fine.
It's a little hard to make out fine detail in the pic...take a magnifying glass to it and check for cracks or splits in the pins.

Hmm it seems like it goes one small one then longer one, its hard to see from he picture but I think two of the longer ones are missing. And what should be the problem with the LCD because that happened before I damaged the socket.
Between thank you for the fast reply.

Well I don't see any missing pins, but you'll have a better view.
As for you LCD...no idea. Generally it's a good idea to turn everything off before you open electrical equipment. You could have caused a short in the process of opening it live.

Would that be on the motherboard or the LCD, basically should I bother repairing it or just sell it for spare parts thats my issue right now.

If you try to power it on does the vibrate activate...basically does it do everything you'd expect EXCEPT the screen doesn't work or does it do nothing at all?

Like I said earlier everything works, I can still receive SMS, phone calls (I can answer them since the digitizer works), e-mails, Facebook msgs, vibrations, sound, microphone... Everything works except the LCD.

You might try replacing the LCD and hope you haven't damaged the connector. If you have, a self-repair is unlikely given its size and that of the pins.
Or you dump it and buy a new phone.
Either way it's gonna cost you money. The first is cheaper but may not work.
I think that's your only options.
Yeah I knew from the start it was gonna cost me money, but I wanted the cheapest way out
Thanks a lot for the help I think I am gonna try to fix it. Get some experience while doing it too

Hey did you ever figure out the connector issue? Same problem
Hey XDA Users,
So yesterday I dropped my phone and it fell vertically top first and when I picked it up nothing was broken luckily. However, when I turn the screen it comes out blurry. Anyone, has any idea how to fix this? I'm sure is a hardware issue since i have tried everything in the software department.
I would really appreciate any suggestions, like I said before nothing is broken. I can call, send msg, browse the internet, listen to music. Everything is ok other than the clarity of the screen.
thank you guys in advance for any suggestions or possible solutions. :good::good::good:

I have tried that but the SS comes out clear crystal and I have tried to take a picture but the camera is not able to capture the blurriness of the screen. But I will continue trying to see what I can do to show the problem.
I have taken a video and some SS from that so you guys can see what happens when I turn on the screen. As you may notice it get several black lines as soon as I turn on the screen but it goes back to normal after a 1 sec or so (normal, I mean without black lines) but the blurriness doesn't go away.
thank you in advance to any reply.

unfortunately your digitizer has taken a blow and nothing can solve that except a replacement which will cause huge,still u can find out with local tech if any wire has gone loose with the connection of digitizer, if u want to do it by urself just watch videoes on youtube how to change digitizer on 7100 and see how u can check the wire connection

I have been looking all around Amazon and eBay and I can't see to find just the Digitizer. I keep finding this item over and over "LCD touch screen digitizer front glass"??? Is this it?
thank you very much for your replies.
It may not be the digitizer or lcd. I had a s2 with the same problem of streaking lines so I order a lcd with digitizer when I replace the new one the same problem persisted so I suggest u check first b4 wasting yr money. Goodluck cheers

Hello guys, after screwing up my phone I'm using my tablet a lot more. So i'm experiencing some problems. The screen problems increase when i use the tablet more often, but i don't have this phantom touch problems it's actually the screen stop working. It just stays on lock screen and me unable to unlock it, i restart the tablet and still doesn't work. However the strange part is that when i hit the back of the tablet in something it immediately starts to work??? I know about the N7 touch screen issues, but i thought they were software based? But mine looks like it's hardware problem? Can you explain me and help me? Thanks.
Can somebody answer me??

If it's hardware, it's most likely, though not exclusively, the cable connections. You need to take the back cover off, and reseat them one by one. Takes a little work because there are 3 cables, one with 2 prongs. Reseat all of them if you can since you don't really know which one caused the problem.
Warranty?
Ok i saw some videos that it may be replacing the screen cables just as you said, but i have warranty. What to do? If i take it to warranty center it's most likely it will work there at the moment? It stops in random times.. What to do?
Removing the back without voiding the warranty is very simple but make sure that you will wear some sort of protective gloves and not touch any copper foil at all ( or you end up with finger prints.. ). Simply reattach the touchscreen connector cable only and you´re good to go.

Thanks for the info. Actually i can fix it easly not by hitting, but just by pressing the back cover. I saw where the cables are in a video and can permanently fix it by putting something between the back and the cables to keep thwm in place. And when i press they just go in place. For now i will just press it when needed. If the problem increases i will open and reattach all cables in place. Thanks for answers.
