that's cool man, lol....but hey thanks for the link, I actually found the thread with the official latest RUU and just ran the exe.....thanks though!!!

Had the same problem on my phone. took it to an actual sprint repair center and they replaced the lcd.

First off, sorry, I know this is a dying thread buuuut instead of starting a new one I was wondering;
If you haven't taken your phone in could you post a pic, as best you could, of the burn? I thought this was an issue with my screen as well, but when I took my phone in to the Service Repair Center to have this random reboot issue looked at I brought this up. Guy said it was from pressing too hard on the screen .... now I know I've seen LCD monitors that have had this issue, the result of someone smashing their finger into the screen and it sort of looked like this, but I'm positive this isn't the case.
I've seen pictures of others and it looks like mine, so that's what I thought it must be. Guy basically said, with all confidence, that that was the issue. Then he proceeded to tell me to not put the phone in my back pocket and sit on it. Well, no ****. Unless someone sat on my lap and did this, which is unlikely as I would have instantly removed the phone (also the spot probably would have been bigger) so I'm sure that isn't the case. But I couldn't really argue with the guy seeing as to them, the customers never know what they're talking about.
So I guess, long story short guy said he couldn't replicate my reboot issue and said a new battery would fix it. Suffice to say, that wasn't the case and I was able to replicate the issue in 3 minutes once I charged the new battery up. But; could a picture be posted? I've seen pics, now I'm searching and I'm not finding anything .... here and over the interwebs.
If this thread dies, that's fine, am pretty much at the point I'm just going to go through insurance anyways to avoid any run around.
Thanks if ya can, and if not, no big deal.

sure I'll try and post a picture later.....now on mine it's more noticable on a white screen but it can still be seen on darker screens.....it looks like 2 more may be popping up as well.....I may get **** for this, but I have the best buy insurance and I just took it up to them and they are going to send it in for repair or may junk it out for a new one (im waiting to be called back until they have a loaner phone)

Cool man, yeah I too really only notice it on white / lighter screens. Like I said I guess it could be from pressure but another pic I had seen looked similar so that's why I think that's the case, even though he sounded pretty sure. And I wouldn't sit on my phone lol I baby my electronics to the point of it being almost ridiculous. Thanks for the response.

htc droid incredible teardown

im trying to repair a friend's incredible of mine and he said that ever since he replaced his cracked screen the power button hasn't been able to turn on the phone. So what i did is try to open the phone up myself and see if he is missing any parts from the mobo. If you guys have any pictures of the mobo of this phone it would help me identify what could be wrong.

You're best bet it to try to find copies of the FCC approval teardown. Often, but not always, they're floating around out there.

alright thanks and i actually did figure out the problem. There's a small part missing from the power button that keeps the phone from turning on. I was able to use a small object to poke it and it works. but i will need those fcc approval teardown pics. so thanks for the suggestion

Phone repair?

Okay so, earlier today I was running in sweats with my phone in my pocket (yea i know, im stupid) and it fell out onto the cement. Unforunately for me I didnt have a case (lesson learned, order one now). Results of the drop are in the images But yea no damage to the screen at all, just some scratches to the side and the battery door (which im going to replace) but what do I do about the side? Is there anything I can do to fix it, or anywhere I can go to fix it or like anywhere I can send it to fix it? Any help is highly appreciated!

Send it to lg for repairs
AWESOME G3

They do scratch fixes? How much is it? Does the warranty cover it?

They gonna replace the bezel. You have to call for price or just stick in a case and forget it.
AWESOME G3

Thank you so much!

I doubt you will get the same phone back so if its still running good you should keep it. You never can know what kind of crappy refurbished phone you will get back. Besides you will never see all of the scratches and scuffs with a case on.

theyd send back a used phone? wouldnt they just replace that one part?

Yeah they probably would but at there own speed. Your phone would most likely become a refurb replacement for somebody else in the future. I might be wrong maybe lg is different from most other manufacturers or maybe the manufacturers are doing it differently than they use to.

oh okay, thanks, you just saved me a **** ton lol

You should still call and ask as I said I could be wrong. But if I am right your phone is probably running better than most refurbs out there.

Ill do that, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

I lost my C, anyway to replace it?

So basically I've lost the C from the back of my HTC. The T came off as well but I stuck it back on. Anyway I could replace it?

Try sending it back to HTC for repair?

Duck tap and some spit should get the job done.
I kid... As said above; try calling HTC.

Just so he can get one letter? Seems troublesome and redundant.

don't see the problem, its a hardware defect and it doesn't matter how big the issue is. from a failing volume button to a cosmetic letter falling off. Warranty = warranty and should support any kind of problem.....including a simple letter falling off.

Spending most likely several weeks without your phone so they can glue a letter on teh back seems like overkill to me, but hey, if you're THAT principled.

its not about principles and its not about me, its about personal preference. if the OP chooses that road then let him. he's in his rights. who are we to judge that ?
but i see all of this will get out of hand soon i guess..... time for me to stop posting again.
OP good luck on getting the C back. whatever you choose to do i hope it will feed your needs.

SOrry if you took that as an attack, I meant if ONE is that principled, not specifically you. Warrantying something like that seems purely something one would do on principle.

well i don't really agree, its cosmetic and small i agree there. is the phone damaged so it doesn't do its job.....no also not the issue. but a person can expect, seeing the high cost of the device that it would be flawless. of course bad things can happen but getting it fixed under warranty should not be a problem.
in fact when the user wants to re sell the device its worth more with all the letters complete. not talking about the letter itself now exactly but seeing the device in a 100% completeness is much better for the seller in the end, and when he/she can do that under warranty it might help the seller in the end to drag a bit more money out of the deal.
hope i made my point clear in a nice way as intended.

same thing happen to me..
I just pealed off "h" and "t" and cleaned off the glue.. now it looks as slick as ever xD

I decided to just leave it as it is. I can't be bothered with sending it back just for a letter lol. Really the only reason it bothers me is in case I want to sell it, but that won't be for a while yet!
I'll wait and see what happens.

Pick off the other letters, then colour the spaces in with a permanent marker or a little bit of nail polish.. I doubt anyone is going to look close enough to notice (or if they do.. I'm sure 99% of people aren't going to care, as long as you aren't trying to palm it off as being new..)

You are seriously considering a repair on that device ??
My initial response was under the assumption that your post was a joke. ..but apparently not ?
A digitizing screen would likely cost more than a replacement device. (Used)..and given the condition of the other components. ..you can almost guarantee that you'll find more trouble inside....
If you don't mind my asking. ..what happened to the phone. .??
I'm not trying to make light of the issue. ..or discourage you from trying if you truly want to attempt a repair. ..but my gosh it looks pretty serious on the surface. ..
We have good people here that are willing to help. ...but as you can see. ..The general consensus is a dead horse. ..
Perhaps you can look into a clean device for sale right here on the XDA site ??
You may be money (and time)... ahead by going another route. .
Either way. ..we are here to help if we can. ..g

Honestly the point of the thread was to see what parts I needed but ended up realizing that yes, indeed it isn't worth fixing. Meant to say - ended up figuring out also the parts and seeing as to how expensive they are...eek.
Also. It was dropped about 3 times from a very high surface. First time the glass shattered. Still worked...second time, stopped responding to touch. Was dropped twice in same day from said surface. I work on really high buildings cleaning windows - doesn't help that I am blindly clumsy. My job will be the death of me.
Hey, if you don't mind - could you help me with my flex problem? I have another thread - it won't accept Sim cards and says service state: radio disabled. Been two weeks and still haven't gotten any further. Have tried everything.
