Hi, I've dropped my phone and now the screen does not turn on.
The touch works, i can receive calls (and talk) and the glass is not working.
It seems that something disconnected from inside.
Any suggestion? Open the phone and review something?
Thanks!
Wait what? The touch works but the glass doesn't? They are the same piece. You've got the LCD panel which is the screen display itself and the digitizer which registers touch, in other words the glass component.
Which of the two does not work?
Since he claims he can answer calls, it appears to me the screen is still registering touch input (I assume he swipes the screen even though it stays black).

I was wondering if anyone can help me fix a problem I've got with my tp2. Basically the device turns on and I can make phone calls and use programs fine. However I can't use the touch screen at all, the hard buttons all work, but touching the screen has no effect.
When the screen is turned off I can see a rainbow pattern on it and it moves to my touch. This could be water damage but I don't remember dropping it in water. The water mark is red on the phone and battery, so it probably is water damage.
Just wondering if anyone knows an easy fix for this. Thanks for reading
Just had exactly the same thing happen this week. At first if I turned it off and firmly pressed my thumbs up the screen (as if I was pushing the rainbow marks to the edge of the screen) I could get it to respond for a while. Then it started to get larger spots and now I can't get it to respond no matter what I do...
If the touch screen is not functional, then you'll likely need to replace the digitizer. I would suggest purchasing the LCD/digitizer combos, as they are easier to install for first timers.
Hi guys, cracked my note 2 glass last week and decided to replace JUST the glass myself. This included me warming up the screen with a hair dryer and replacing the glass. All went well, was VERY careful only to find out when I turn the phone on the screen is either blank OR white, and you can faintly see the boot logo. This alternates randomly when im prodding the motherboard. Does this mean there is a dodgy connection? Can I fix this, or have I completely melted the amoled when heating?
Forgot to add: Phone turns on fine, boot sound is there, capacative buttons light up. Even touch screen works (I can answer phone calls)
Thanks guys
Hey guys,
I have an S3 that was dropped and now the screen remains black but the notification light still turns on and it still rings/vibrates when it gets a call or message. I was told it was a digitizer issue and hence ordered a replacement but now I'm reading that it may be the LCD? The glass portion is completely fine, not a crack or any sign of breakage to be found it's just that the screen remains black.

If the glass on the outside of it is undamaged, then it likely is just the digitizer. Try putting on the replacement digitizer and see where that gets you.
My S3 has been working fine for months sort of. I bought it off of ebay with a huge crack in the glass, then my brother dropped it and all the glass fell out. To use the phone we has to touch the bare LCD of the phone, which after a while we just but a screen cover over it. I waited 2 months, bought a new glass replacement and put it on, everything worked just fine. After a little the home button when pressed to the left a little would make the screen go crazy. it would start tapping and swiping in random places. After locking and waking the screen the phone was normal again. after that, i removed the glass again, and this time when putting it back on if i pushed the home button it pushed the glass down a little, which would turn my screen black. locking the phone and waking the screen again turned the screen back on. Also the screen was a lot less sensitive, i'd have to tap a key 2-5 times sometimes to hit a specific letter. whenever that happened i put 3 dsi's to weigh it down and push the screen down, which would improve the sensitivity. that worked twice, and now my screen doesn't respond to touch at all. the screen will wake, but only when i press on the bottom right corner of the screen will it respond to touch. Any word on what could be the problem? i need to know what to buy to replace in the phone. I've already taken the whole phone apart and plugged everything back in, after i had tried everything to get my phone to respond. Could this be a digitizer problem, or an LCD problem? any possible fixes without having to replace anything?
The first issue was using the device without the glass installed. By touching the bare LCD you most likely damaged it. Your best bet at this point is probably going to be to replace the Touch assembly ( Glass / LCD Touch digitizer ) . Also keep in mind, when doing any sort of Screen replacement. Be sure to keep everything as clean, and dust free as possible.
Our tablet stopped responding to touch, so I replaced the screen and digitizer (as I have before when the screen cracked). Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue. It boots up just fine, but screen does not respond to touch. What is the next thing I should check?
