[Q] My SLCD is faulty?

Hi,
I bought a Desire few deys ago and unfortunately it has slcd screen.I have noticed with screen checker that on black screen there is back light bleeding on the top right corner and on the left side as well. is this normal? are there any other people with the same bleeding issues?It is very annoying,i thought for this money i get a good phone...
The bleeding is similar like on the How to know if your HTC Desire have Super-LCD screen? on youtube at 50 sec(sry i can't send url)
and i also attached a picture.
Can i exchenge it?Is it faulty or normal?
Thx for the answers!

I downloaded a display testing app, and didn't see this problem at all. I went into a completely dark interior room and ran it again, and could barley see a tiny bit of this in the upper right corner. Since I haven't noticed it once in actual use, even at night, I'm not going to worry about it. However yours, as shown in your photo, is much worse than mine. I am uncertain how the warranty folks would feel about it, but it's your call whether to try returning it. Does it bother you when using the phone?

Hi,
If i'm using it nightime i can see proper bleeding on the right and left side as well if the background is black otherwise it is ok.Daytime i can see only bleeding on the top right corner with black background, but i think it shouldn't be like that, that's why i need info from other people who has Desire with slcd screen. As you wrote you did not realised the bleeding only after i metioned it.
I am waiting for more info, after i can make a decision to take back the handset or it is normal.
Thx

Hi guys,
please share with me your feedbacks if you have SLCD screen. I am very confused now, that this problem is common or only my screen is faulty? Because if it is only for me I have to exchange the phone.
Thanks

Hi,
If it is really looking like on this photo... i dont need a slcd screen to tell you that this is not acceptable... return the phone.

I agree with this. If my Desire looked like that - it would definitely be going back to the seller.
As to test on my phone - I can't as I have a AOMELD version of the phone. However, I too, don't need to see an SLCD to know the above is simply not acceptable.

I have the SLCD screeen. I have the exact black light bleeding on my screen also .
If all the SLCDs are ike this ,a replacement phone also will be similar .So no point in returing .Also there is no return possible in INDIA . .

I'm sure this is normal for LCD screens, there is a YouTube video comparing an AMOLED N1 to an SLCD N1 and there's a lot of backlight bleed on the SLCD...

Hi
thanks for the answers.So no point to exchange it, this thing is normal if you have slcd screen...Very strange and annoying.I thought this handset is almost perfect, i am going to sell it now.
thanks

Looks like Samsung's decision not to supply the AMOLED screens to 3rd parties is going to be the downfall of the Desire...

Hi! I just got a HTC Desire (SLCD) and have the same problems with the backlight bleeding (in the top right corner and in the left side but more at the middle point). You concluded it is a normal issue, but however there is people saying they don't have the problem in their SLCD Desires... Perhaps it would be worth trying to exchange it? what do you think? is out there more people with no bleeding SLCD Desires?

SLCD
i have an SLCD but no bleeding that i have noticed mine is 4 days old so maybe they fixed something definitely return it

im so glad ive got an amoled desire in all my previous htc phones with lcd screens, i neva had any bleeding like that so i'd take it back and get a replacement

New screen needed

Anyone know where i can get a new screen from for my desire in the UK. my phone fell off quite a low table yesterday & i could see the screen starting to leak, the touch glass on the outside is ok though. So if anyone could point me in the right direction to get a new screen id be greatful.
By the way its the old type screen so does that mean i have to get the same type ?

you could go to www.cnn.cn for AMOLED screens, just make sure your device supports it (you have to make sure you don't have the SLCD version).
*why don't you just send it in for repairs??*

If it's anything like my old G1, it would cost him literally about 9x less to buy a screen and fix it himself (T-Mo wanted £150, I did it myself with a screen from eBay for £20)!

mine is the amoled type but can i fit the SLCD screen if i wanted to ?

no one is really sure, but if you fit the slcd screen, you'll most likely have to flash a compatible HBoot.

Should Fitting a Amoled Screen into a SLCD phone work?

Hey Guys,
I can't really find much about this on-line, i had a SLCD HTC Desire but i broke the Screen and Digitizer so i bought them both but all i could find on ebay was amoled screens so i bought one thinking it should work, but ive connected it all up and im getting faint lines across the screen, is it a faulty screen or do i need a slcd display?

should fitting a porche badge to my car make it go faster ??
I think your have to sort out the hardwear first ... which would be a new mobo ... + a new screen .... mmmmm bar the case you have a new phone !! lol

[Q] Replace an AMOLED with LCD screen ?

Hello everyone,
I know there's a lot of threads about broken screens out there but I could not find a precise answer to my question.
This is what happened. My HTC Desire (with AMOLED) fell on the ground. When I picked it up I noticed a crack. It seemed like it was not on the touchscreen but underneath it. Also, in the first hours the display worked well like always despite the crack. Then, the next morning, I woke up to a surprise. The screen was now loosing it's colors and everything was in a kind of violet range. The next day, the screen was completely black (but I could feel that the touchscreen was still working because of the small vibration during unlocking).
Of course, the "official" screen replacement is too expensive for me and I think I can do it myself. The problem is that I can not find a site that's selling AMOLED screens for HTC Desire, only LCD. So there's my question : is it possible to replace an AMOLED screen with a LCD screen (on the HTC Desire)? Or maybe someone knows a site that's selling AMOLED screens for HTC Desire?
Thank you in advance.

Switching screen for screen won't work. At least you would need to replace the digitizer too, and I'm not sure will it work with your motherboard. Total cost of screen + digitizer would be around $110.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

I know people mentioned different digitizer for different screens. I'm not sure that's true but a different motherboard would be required.

Replaced screen but still not working.

Hi guys, I just replaced the LCD in my old desire z. In the previous screen, I dropped the phone and from then on the screen wouldn't turn on. So now I've replaced the lcd but it is just the same. The screen doesn't power up. The digitizer seems to be working with the capacitive buttons lighting up. I am assuming that something else seems to have been damaged in the fall. Probably not worth the money and time to figure it out and fix it?

That would be hard to rule out unless someone can test that LCD you are changing with does not have any problem. Another question is that which instructions did you use to change your LCD ? Once I mistakenly stood over my Desire Z which was only few months old then, LCD cracked at that time.
I bought LCD from the following seller on eBay (i checked today and he do not have HTC Desire Z LCD any more)
(Sorry i am not allowed to add URL, if you PM me i can send you details)
In terms of instructions, the only video available in those days was youtube. com/watch?v=Us-28oXfIbg&list=PL604790BEFD39AE09
Now this guy has few other videos on HTC Desire Z.
From the posts of this guy, it appears he now opened up shop for parts and repairs. See if he could help. Nothing wrong with emailing him.

I have pages of htc desire z lcd on ebay.ca...
The problem is probably the flex cable.
Most of the time, lcd screen show signs of weakness : fliker, dead pixels, color lines, shot off after few seconds, etc
