Broken screen or what?

A relative of mine also owns a G2 but recently they experienced a weird issue. They just picked up the phone just to see that the screen went bad. Wasn't in the process of flashing anything. The phone ran CM7.0.2 for the longest time. It was all black with a white line running across the screen and the capacitive buttons are stilll lit. After a week or so, the white line disappeared and its just a black screen now.
There's no water damage as it went nowhere near water and the water damage indicator is still white. Could the screen be broken? A loose connector? Any help?

I don't know much about the g2 but try and enter the bootloaders. If they come up then its programming. Something like that happened to my hd2 cuz a bad flash.
If they don't then its prob the screen.

You think just ordering a new screen from Amazon or eBay and replacing it will do trick? And yeah I just thought about bootloader as I wrote the question.

if it ran a long time i would guess a hardware failure (if it doesnt even show up bootloader)
so you need to replace the display.
does the display even initialize when powering up the phone?
when switching the phone on you see its "switching" from black to dark gray (lighter black as it is when powered off)
cause if it doesnt even get power, it could be something on the phone too which doesnt give (enough?) power to the display...
Yeah. but I'd take it apart if u know how just to check

Try to connect with adb just to make sure your phone is still working before you spend money on a screen. Unless it rings when you call it or something.

new screen wont work

I bought a new screen but the screen stays black and everything else work I can feel my phone vibrate when I touch the screen but cant see nothing at all has anyone else ran into this problem?
You mean you bought a replacement screen and put it in yourself? I'd check all the ribbon cables because it seems like your digitizer is working but the oled isnt getting signal/power

+1 to that. Sounds like user error! Probably excited and wanted to put the phone back together asap! Lol

Help with screen replacement

I replaced the touch screen and LCD today and I am not sure what is wrong with it. It powers up fine but there are streaks up and down the screen where the LG logo is during the power up screen. After it starts up the screen gets whiter and whiter. Turn it back off and then on again and it looks normal, and then after about 4 seconds starts to get lighter and lighter until about 12 seconds in everything is very white and washed out, almost unusable. Touch screen works fine and then if i turn the screen off and on again the same thing happens.
Did I get a bad LCD? Could this be from a bad connection? Help
Try bad connection first. Mine did some thing till a reconnect

Not sure if LCD's are different but a buddy of mines just replaced his screen and screen shows nothing, no image at all just sound. He took it to a pro shop instead to see if perhaps something got damage in the process. Hope is that and not the screen itself

I fix screens alot. Sounds like a possible bad digitizer. I've fixed over 500 iPhone screens and around every 1/10 screens I order will be DOAs or bad right out of the box.
ya
Im thinking thats what is going on here....i heat gunned the screen to see if that would have any effect and actually it improved...now instead of having half of the screen non responsive tot ouch im at a 1/3 or even less....probably going to ship back to LG and have replaced uinder warranty

LCD screen issue

I've quite recently replaced the screen on my device yet the same issue in the images occurred as when it first went. I left it off for a couple of days. Turned it back on and is working again however there are very fine Black horizontal lines through the screen and the back light dims and brightens when using the touch screen. Any help is greatly appreciated

I assume you reflashed your phone the first time (loaded a fresh ROM). If so, it might be an issue with the screen. I know you already replaced it, but the issue might be with the screen connector cable.

All sorted. It was not only the screen but the flexi-cable ribbon. it was quite worn so I purchased another piece for it and hey presto. its all working. well...apart from the fact ive somehow broken the power switch so need to get a replacement for that somehow. fortunately i have the bugged recovery so i can boot my phone by plugging it into a charge cable to get it to boot.
