Greetings!
I've recently gotten the LCD on my Desire Z replaced, but I noticed that the new one have a small area at the bottom that is brighter than the rest of the screen. It's only visible when I view white/bright colors. What is this, and what have caused it? Is this just a production defect, or have the technician been careless when installing it and somehow damaged it?

It's backlight leakage, and it's most likely cause during production or by the technician. It's not really damaged, just not perfectly assembled.

I have hardware version 0003, the display works fine just the top glass got cracked, can someone point me in the right direction for a new digitizer assembly? I found one on amazon new for 24$ but have no idea if it will work for my phone.0002 vs 0003 I read have different ribbon cables.

When this happened to me, I couldn't tell that the LCD had also cracked. I bought the digitizer only, and when I took apart the phone, I realized that I didn't have the parts I needed to fix it.
I can tell you that the correct P/N for the Novatel screen is 2V6A, but I am not sure of the P/N for the Epson screen. Check which screen you have by adjusting the brightness.
If when you adjust the brightness it switches with a fade effect, then you have a Novatel screen and you need the 2V6S ribbon. However, if it switches quickly and suddenly from one brightness setting to the next without a fade effect, then you have an Epson panel and you need the other ribbon cable.
So, I know it's been posted a lot in other places but I couldn't find like, a definitive answer as to if there are different digitziers? Am I just confused?
I would like to try and just replace the digitizer and glass over top of the LCD, my LCD works fine, the cracks are really thin and only a few going across diagonally. It fell from maybe 2 feet off my lap onto a parking lot surface.
I understand there is two LCD pannel types like you said, but are there two digitizer types/sizes?! for that ribbon cable.
I'm completely comfortable with taking it apart, I'm just worried I'll get the wrong part and find out the screen is also cracked and have to end up not using it for days until new stuff ships.... bleh
I've found digitizer+glass on amazon for 24-30$.
How do I adhere it to the LCD though, says doesn't include anything to do that.
EDIT: Found this gem: http://www.durapowerglobal.com/HTC-EVO-4G-Digitizer-Adhesive-_p_1166.html
Adhesive wont be a problem I just need to know about the glass/digitizer
EDIT2:
OKAY, if you want to ignore all i've said so far here is my real question of what I need to know.
http://www.durapowerglobal.com/HTC-...iginal-With-Installation-Adhesive_p_1103.html
Is there only ONE digitizer/glass piece on any given HTC EVO 4G? Or is there two different types like the LCD?
Here's the story:
I bought my HOX (Indian, International, SH24 batch) close to 6 months ago (continue reading before saying it won't be replaced). I checked and tested everything according to the guide as soon as I could and it only showed a little bit of screen flex on the upper left corner, but I didn't say anything because I could live with that (I'm not that picky). Then, after some time I found out that the back of the device had a small bump near the camera lens, and by looking it up on xda I found out that it might be the battery expanding and we all know what could follow to that. Recently, I found that the screen has two vertical lines that are noticeable on grey backgrounds. These lines are not dead or burnt pixels, it seems as if the backlight was uneven and those lines were a lighter color than the rest of the screen.
Now, here is where I start to wonder the topic title.
If they were to repair it and assuming that that's the only damage and no other parts are involved, they would need to replace at least the back cover, the screen and the battery. Considering the only part that seems to be perfect is the motherboard, and that the rest needs replacement, is it possible to get a replacement unit instead of going through the whole hassle and wait of getting the repair done?
phone received a spot of liquid damage...
liquid was cooking/canola oil... it was only a splash but a tiny drop worked its way into the corner of the lcd, this has now left the corner and is sat in the middle!
it causes a dark spot, I think its pooled in the light guide as the lcd etc is working fine, but its very annoying...
i have tried gentle heat, shaking, 'dropping' it etc to try to move it, nothing has worked its been like it a month now.
so, i guess its got to be a new lcd/touch digitizer all in one?
Is time to change buy it from amazon

My nephew was zealously playing mushroom wars, and while he was trying to angrily eliminate the enemy shrooms he was pressing entirely to hard.
I now have some seriously bleed behind the corner of the screen where the offending shrooms were. Also there are blue streaks in the same corner. which are in my opinion a much worse eyesore than the bleeding.
I assume he has not only pushed the LCD away from the digitizer, but also irreparably damaged the LCD it'self. However I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I can do to fix the streaking. I am going to tear it apart and try to fix the bleed issue.
Giving you a thanks for the AD reference
Why not try seeing if you can get asus to service it? I've never seen that happen on another glass-covered device even with excessive force used.
Looks like too much pressure was put on the unit causing what is behind the screen to be pressed upwards toward the lcd/glass. This is normally a metal shield of some sort. Pulling dents out from it may be possible with some sort of dent puller/suction cup but there is a frame in the way that may cause you issues from looking @ http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072. Also if the soft battery has suffered any crush damage or bending it may puff out and need to be replaced or you run the risk of a runaway thermal event at worst or just reduced run-time at best.
Don't you also need to remove a warranty voiding sticker to access the shielding in the first place?
I blue myself?

I actually have the same thing, have had it on 3 separate units too. Gave up on trying to get a new one after the third and will be trying to send it int asus. None have suffered any damage or abuse either.
I have the same problem out of the box. mine looks like a warped outline of the motherboard. I've been on the fence about loosening the screws on the motherboard to see if that helps, but that means removing the warranty sticker. Has anyone else tried?
Hi,
please have a look at the attached image, cause its hard to explain.
It was kind of strange... it started with some cloudy pixels in the middle of the screen, they went down to where they are now and got more intense.
Its now there since about 4 weeks without change.
Anyone experienced it? I guess I need to replace the screen, or is there any other chance? In case I have to replace it, what would I need to get? The touch screen digitzer or the full lcd display?
Thanks
Susi

Although i'm not an expert on this, But i should suggest you to replace Digitizer only because it seems like Display is okay just chemical imbalance between digitizer and display panel.
If you've proper tool to disable the device and with some flat hard plastic or something try to take this to the edge where it easily go out. To me Display seems okie. Because such things happen when we put phone in tight jeans and due to over compression such happens but it has nothing to with display panel, its just chemical in between display and digitizer.
I had an iPod 4th Gen,. Same kinda Dark black spot i've noticed after single drop on top right corner and later it disappear automatically. So just saying try that first rather buying whole new panel or digitizer. Flat blunt plastic to take that bubble to the side
