Side not missing :
I took the photo's with my old XDA II so give me a break here anyway cut to the chase the tiny little screw is missing on that one side. I've tried radioshack/sears hardware etc, and I cannot seem to find a replacement, I don't know where to go or what to do from here.
*EDIT* - I just realized I posted this in the wrong category it should be moved to Accessories, since a screw is an Accessory, I'm sorry.

How wierd is this...I have the same screw missing on the same side!
Could it be a design fault?

I'm not sure, I don't remember it falling out, but I just recalled seeing that it was gone.
But I've also looked at : http://www.itbox.com.au/catalog/images/itbox-xda-2-s.jpg
and I notice there are screws in both sides! Maybe its a common thing to lose a screw on that side because of the keyboard or something... but I want a new screw!

I too missed it a few days before. I had to take it to service center and get it fixed with a new one.
They charged my Dhs 5 (aprox U$ 1.35)

same screw on same side.
That screw just popped out. Good thing the unit was in my pocket and the screw didnt get lost.
I was forced to buy a specialized screw driver just to put the screw back.

Your lucky you still had the screw. I've Had the exact same proplem except my screw got lost!! Anyway After much argueing with orange, I got a contact number for HTC that got me though to an answerphone. I left a message on that and they called me back and sent me some screws for free!!! If I find the number I'll post it up here. As they sent me four screws I could send one out to someone if they REALLY need it. You will need a Tork 6 screwdriver to fit it back.
Please tell your company who you got the phone from as well as calling up HTC. When I spoke to orange and HTC for that matter they told me that they have had no other reports of this happerning to others despite loads reports of it on here.

thats interesting that it happened to all of us that same way hehe, well I need a new one and I've tried every hardware store possible =(

Am also missing one. is my 3de MDA! first 2 where exchanged by t-mobile for the missing screw and a hardware problem. think they aren't really tightened... hope anyone got some link or adres where i can get them!

Note 2 glass screen replacement story

So I watched the youtube videos of how to do and ordered everything but the 2mm tape...so we searched all of the local stores and no one sells it. So I read somewhere here before the idea of someone using superglue...and had a little trouble using some guitar pics that the replacement kits send you and used a credit card to get the middle broken glass instead...it was actually a success...the only problem with the phone it has a spot on the screen sorta looks like its touching the digitizer...is that really ever gonna b a problem? The superglue and/or the spot??

Only time will tell. ..
But for now. . If the device runs properly. ..then roll with it. ..
I do however. ..pity you if the screen needs repair again. ..as it will require the new screen and digitizer next time around. ..
The 2mm tape would have been the choice for me. ...g

I wouldn't be able to stand my phone looking like that. I would've paid whatever to have it repaired professionally.

Yea the price locally here was 250 $ with a 75 $ deposit I would never see again...I mean the phone works 100 percent but it will b taken care of to the fullest...it does bother me but its a quick fix that I did for around 50 bucks...im pretty sure I can take it back off because it didnt need that much superglue...jus mainly the corners...I just dont want to attempt it again without the proper tools again...its a story I wanted to share if someone is really desperate and cant fork out 250 bucks to get it fixed...

Will you believe it? I got from e bay whole kit including glass and tape and everything for 22 bucks. Replaced the screen after watching YouTube videos.
Then somehow there was moisture left in the center and it looked like your phone currently is...
I couldn't stand the sight of it... took it to att repair and warranty store and they gave me a new one, not knowing that its screen was replaced by me. He said its not my fault that moisture got into the screen.
I think I was lucky but hey, it was worth a shot.

ya this is why I always replace screens with the lcd and digitizer already together, too many things can go wrong.
but in your case if the phone is still working and you can handle to look go with it, if not then I would look into the whole replacement and hope the $ comes down some lol.

[Q] What should I do with this screen?

Hello,
I've had my desire for almost a year now, and it broke yesterday... I was playing with my 6-year old nephews, and my desire fell out of my pocket. I didn't know that it was broken until I wanted to check my whatsapp a few hours later, and when I did, the screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
... (lol the image is way too big)The touchscreen is working fine, I can turn it on and unlock it, I can even send an whatsapp, because I knew where the icon was. So what should I do with it? Repair it if it's possible? How much would that cost? I now have an iPhone 3gs as stand-in, should I keep that for as long as my contract lasts (1 year)? Or should I buy a new one? If so, which one would you advise me? A cheap one please, as I want to save for the PS4 later this year.
I'm running Sandvolds ICS for those that want to know...
Thanks!

There's a possibility that the screen cable is slightly disconnected. Try to disassemble the phone, and check the cable.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try
Edit: Yeah I tried to take it apart, seems I've got no T5 screwdriver at home... Basically, if I would take it apart I would have not any idea what te screen cable is... Is it the LCD connecter? I do know quite a bit about software and that sort of stuff, but I'm a n00b at replacing hardware :S

I had the exact same screen on my Desire :silly:
That screen is broken and you need to replace it. I would recomend a professional to do it because I tried to do it myself and I destroyed my phone. And the other thing if you decide to go on with replacement - Desire had two different screen types and every type had one or two subtypes which are NOT compatible with each other so you need to know exactly what type of screen you have

Exchanging at Best Buy due to stuck pixels

I noticed stuck pixels (whenever I'm on a black screen i see two colors red and blue) on my NX 7 only hours after purchasing it, which was the 21'st of December. Due to Best Buy being crowded during this time of the year i tried to ignore it, and I hoped it went away. I tried the apps that were supposed to fix stuck pixels, but they didn't make anything better. On Thursday or Friday I'm exchanging it, for another. I've unlocked and rooted it, but I'm going to flash it back to stock. Do you think they will give me a replacement, if not what should i say because i really don't want to deal with the stuck pixels?
Should I just keep because i may get one that's worse?
What should i expect?
Thanks for viewing.

Best Buy didn't give me any grief when I had the same. I wiped and flashed the stock ROM and recovery, and on the initial setup screen, the rep could clearly see the dead black pixel.
You should have no qualms about exchanging for another. If the next one also has any bad pixels, exchange it too. You're not paying the most money in the world, but enough that you should get a properly working device.

Yup, they said it was defective and they gave me another. Thanks.
The replacement has light bleed, YAY.

Best buy will eventually black ball you for returns as they did with me. Return it and get your money then buy it somewhere else.

I had the same problem, and actually made them open 3 new units in store before I found a perfect one. The manager was getting a little annoyed with me, but I'm not going to accept anything less than perfect. In the end I got what I wanted.

No backlight - FIXED

Hi,
I had some trouble with this phone. Long story short, I worked in US and my job take a open me a plan with at&t so I can use the phone back in canada with rogers.
Since the Gpro is only available in US, I thought it was a great idea to have a ''unique'' phone.
It worked fine for 2 weeks ( led notification stop working). UNDER light use.
Then after some time, the LCD ips backlight stop working. With a flashlight I was able so see the screen but it wasn't clever.
I asked LG several time, but the moment I told them the phone is in canada, they wont help me, even if I paid with us money on us territory.
Like if I live on the moon, it took 40 minutes to get to the border....
They finally admit that some of the first batch got problem with the screen, but still wont exchange it.
F*ck them, I tried to repair it myself.
#1 - Clean the contacts with 70% alcohol. No luck
#2 - Buy a new IPS LCD on ebay . No luck.
#3 - Clean the whole device with contact cleaner. No luck

#4- Then I do remember some HP laptop and Xbox 1st gen got soldering problem, so you put it in the oven and they work again.
So nothing to loose, I put the MOBO in the oven, convection bake, 375*´F for 10 minutes. Smell of plastic and the mobo bent (use aluminium support to avoid that)
YES! It worked. But since I use the contact cleaner, my screen was blurry.
So after 2 months of testing, I bought a second screen plus the home button assembly to get my LED notification back .
But the LED notification never come back
I found a app called buttonLED, so the back and menu button flash when I got a call/sms.
In conclusion, I had 2 LG , E980 and someone give the 3D (thrill), and both got problem, software AND hardware.
I'm on xda since I have the motorolla milestone (one of the first android device) and the Desire Z. Those 2 devices still working fine, the HTC desire Z 2010 to 2014!!! Still in good shape.
LG device are poorly craft from what I saw and what I can read on xda.
I repair a lot of devices, but nothing like this one. It was clearly a soldering problem.
For all of you who can have this kind of problem, use this method on LAST resort. It may not work for you, but did the trick for me.
