[Q] What is this indicative of? Screen problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought an EVO 4G on Craigslist as a gift and as soon as I got home (45 minutes later) and inside, I noticed a very weird problem with the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What the heck is this? I didn't notice it outside (where the transaction took place) or in my car. I can't not see it now...

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking at

Is this just what EVO screens look like? My Inspire sure never looked like that!

That is a problem with some evo screens. Mine looks the same. Something to do with the internals under the screen causing the whitout spots.

Thank you. Did it develop over time or did it always look like that?

This is a common problem and believe it's referred to as light leaking or something along those lines. Anyway, mine has the exact same two spots as do a lot of other people. Nothing you can do about it though and it's really not that big of a deal.

Yeah thats very common on evo 4g lcds,I dont think it develops so you dont have to worry about it getting worst...I have the same prob.with new lcd replacement.

Get yourself a soft case and cover up her flaws. You should check ebay. When I cracked the screen on my evo (I realize you didn't crack your screen) they had all the parts I needed, including the screen for $25

Major problem after screen replacement.

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:

Guide to changing the faceplate

Hey guys I need to replace my face plate (see picture) and was looking for a guide on how to do it. All the ones that I found are for changing the whole screen, or is it more or less the same thing as doing that? Thanks

You are going to have a super tough time doing this (I'm not even sure if it is possible). The display is physically bonded to the faceplate.

Well that sucks.. can anyone else confirm this?
That's how it was on the SGS2, so it wouldn't surprise me.
For the first time ever, I cracked my phones screen. Sucks it was my damn SGS3. I need to replace mine.

That sucks man, I just got some paint peeling off at the bottom of mine, bothering the hell out of me. Would hate to spend 200$ just to fix that.
Yes the screen is glued to faceplate which is glued to the digitizer, this is my understanding at least. Good luck Bro.

Yeah it's a pain. I'd rather use insurance to fix this one. It's the same price and I get a brand new phone.

[Q] How to fix the Spen if its stuck in the phone

Does anyone know how to separate the Silver plated part from the black part of the spen? The silver part is not aligned with the black part and it always get stuck in the phone and needs to be pulled out really hard. I tried with other spen on my phone and its fine so i know its because of it not being aligned.
Pics?

Well I'm sitting here looking at my spen and, ,it has the same size gap between the silver top piece and the base.
The only suggestion I can give you is call Samsung and ask them about it...I'm sure they would be pleased to send u a new one..not very expensive for them. Just my suggestion. :beer:

[Q] Water Damage, Number of LDIs

Due to an unexpected flash flood, my phone got wet. Now the screen's dead and I think my speakers are starting to go out.
I just checked the LDI on the battery and the one in the battery compartment. Are there any other LDIs that are underneath the plastic?
Think there is one more. Check ifixit to be sure.
