So, XDA I have an Incredible who's screen has gone AWOL and the phone seems to be stuck in a reboot loop. I have a video of the issue for more clarity.

I've tried taking the phone apart and everything appears to be fine in my eyes. I've attatched some pics I took while the phone was dismantled, maybe you guys can spot something I missed. Any help would be appreciated. The phone is out of warranty btw; I got it used.

might have jumped the gun ripping it all apart as i now need you to put it back together and get a flashlight led preferably what your going to do is shine a light into the lcd when you attempt to turn it back on to see if the screen turns on but the backlight doesnt also slcd or amoled?
if that fails i donno get a new one keep it in a drawer for parts or ebay it for parts...
Thanks I'll try that. As for the screen I'm really not sure if it's SLCD or AMOLED.
On the red part where the battery goes there is a gray label in the upper left corner of that label is ADR6300VW2 or vw3; vw2 is amoled vw3 is slcd. you have it that far apart you could try a new screen as for it bootlooping that could be caused by the screen or the phone could have a bad flash and a broken screen if the screen does come on with out the back light you will just barely be able to see it with a flash light shining into it. Then the solution is simply replace the back light or the whole screen it should then display and you can move onto the next step of recovering the flash from there.
Hum this sounds kinda like some of the symptoms of flashing the amoled ruu to a slcd incredible you could try to flash it to the correct one I don't know if you can use the windows tool from htc or you might have to blind hboot flash it.

Hello, I am facing a very frustrating evening with my beloved Epic 4G as the front half of the phone appears to not be getting power (i.e. no screen power/no LED when charging/nothing whatsoever). To top it off I have no backup, and I'm straight broke as can be. So I took the phone apart, and what happened is that the connection that goes between the back half of the phone and the front has simply snapped into two pieces. I've attached pics of what is broken and you can see my baby all disassembled as well (dang man this is not a very good situation). Bottom line is that my only option is to hopefully find this piece as the phone boots up fine, the keyboard lights up, and the phone even rings when called, etc... just no screen activity at all. I even Odin'd to stock w/o the screen working as the phone is perfectly fine except for the screen not turning on. I have confirmed in this video (Go to 4:05 mark in video to see the piece in 1 piece) that the piece I've shown as Broken is in fact supposed to be one piece, and given that everything else appears normal/functional I have no reason to believe that I have anything else wrong. Dang I love this phone and I need it to be working, so please someone tell me that they've got the hook up/connections to get this piece at a good price.

I take it you don't have sprints TEP? If you do have TEP I know some repair centers would fix it within a hour if they have the parts on hand.

i sympathize on your situation, also allow me to give you some advice, always make sure you have a soft cloth under the phone and you are not sitting on carpet. you can short out the phone. (static micro shocks)
Ok here's the backstory.... The charging port broke loose of the mobo from my Inc so my buddy had a good working Inc with a cracked digitizer so I thought hey I'll just swap that out no big deal. Well did some research and watched some videos and tackled it. Everything went smoothly until after I put the battery in and fired it up...... Not good the screen comes on kind but it's this weird greenish color with 1 bright line at the very top of the screen. Now I've tried switching everything back and forth a few times and no go. Now I have two phones that don't work. Anyone else see this before?

Update,
Now I just turned it on again and the screen stays black. No more greenish screen.
So you took the screen off of yours and put it on your friends? Were they both the same screen type, ie amoled or slcd?
1. Look under the battery of both devices.
2. Below the bluetooth and FC icon you will see "ADR6300VW."
3. If you see a "3" at the end (ADR6300VW3) then it is SLCD. If you do not, then it is AMOLED.
Other than that mabey the ribbon wires got bent and broken, or mabey the wires are not pluged in just right.
Sorry I never responded to this post. I ended up picking up a rezound. They both were the amoled screens. They did look different from eachother when looking from the back side. I thought I was really gentle with the cables but maybe they are just way more fragile than I thought. I'm going to order a new screen and give it another shot. I just can't let my incredible go out like that! :beer:

Hello everyone. I'm new here
I'm a new user of the LG G4. Quite happy with it right now. But I have a problem that I'm not sure if it's an issue or not.
On the top side of the screen (notification bar) I see a brighter light on the top that diffuse down (I don't know how to explain it)
I tried to take photos of it, but it doesn't appreciate too much. (I tried editing the contrast in the first one to make it more visible)

I wonder if anyone have this issue too, if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol. This is by design.
That could be screen bleed where the LCD isn't bonded properly and allows addition light in from the backlight. I would compare with other G4s and get it replaced if needed.
If they give you crap about returning it just tell them the headphone port is randomly staticy.
Try to test it with full black baground with dead pixel test app from play store and on dark room.
Before try this go to settings and do the navigation buttons invisible to dead pixel app to test all screen. If you see very much light bleed then you must go to replace it. If you no then keep your phone and n'joy because you can say it normally. Many ips screens had this bleed.
If you don't want this your only way is Amoled.
Thanks for all your answers. I wasn't sure if that was normal, because I come from a S4 with Amoled and didn't have this issue. But for what I'm reading, it is normal. I think I would try to find other G4 and see if that happens too.
I have an LG G4
Funny thing is last night i noticed the exact same thing when i realised all the icons on the notification bar had burnt into my screen up there too which got me worried, maybe its all LG G4's maybe just ours but im not happy at all
Hi all. I just found out my note 10.1 upper left part of the screen is acting weird recently, however I have no idea whats wrong with it.
Here's the thing. if i put my tablet away for some times (with screen off), and then i turn on the screen again, I wont be able to see the 'over-brighten-line" as shown in the attachment. After i turned on the screen for quite sometime (talking about a few minutes, after watching a 3 minutes youtube video perhaps), the line starting to show. Even if i turn the screen brightness to the lowest, it wont be as bright, but it is still visible. IF i turn it off again for some time, it back to normal again. then the process repeats.
Anyone know what's up with that? Can I possibly able to fix that on my own? I don't really want to send it back to Samsung, I mean first, there is no more warranty and second, I had a really bad experience with samsung's warranty services for my previous device here in my country. Or if i leave it that way, does it going to hurt the display panel in any way?
Really hope someone who has the knowledge in this is able to help me out. Thanks in advance.
[Edit]: no, i never let the device run under hot condition. only drop it like once, not from very high tho. I've never torture the device in anyway, most of the time I use it to watch movies, youtube videos etc.
Here's the attachment.

up.
anyone? I need your opinions and help. thanks..
It looks like just light bleed from the backlight. You should review youtube videos on disassembly and specifically screen replacement ones. I don't know if it is possible to fix it yourself without significant effort. IIRC the glass and screen are adhered with adhesive that makes it difficult. I'm not sure if you'd need to separate them to deal with this.
I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?
Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?
Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.
I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!
So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!
