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
Hello XDA,
I dropped my phone a while ago and the outer screen got cracked, nothing happened to the screen it self, so i kept using my phone for a month or so before i found a place to replace the outer frame only, the screen used to work perfectly, after i changed the frame, i had touch problems, so i decided to change the whole screen, after changing the screen i had a dead strip, the touch is not responding in that area, here is a screen shot, Could it be a problem with the new screen/digitizer or connection problem? Please direct me.
Hi guys, I recently replaced the glass on my note 2 and the repair was successful. Everything on the phone is fully functional.
However, I notice that the phone sometimes switches to a strange discolored mode and then back to normal.
When the display is discolored, it looks like what is happening in this video:

So does anyone know what the issue is? Have I damaged the ribbon cable somehow?
The LCD and digitizer seem to be unscathed. When the screen is not in "discoloration mode" the colors are crisp and clear.
Something really strange I've noticed is that sometimes the screen only discolors when I pull down the status bar. It will only be discolored for the status menu. The rest of the screen will remain fine. This does not happen all the time. Sometimes the entire screen has no discoloration at all.
I'm not sure what I've done but, any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
So while walking downstairs to my basement, I tried to put my phone back into my pocket and it slipped and dropped on the hard floor. It dropped about 4 ft and it had a hard plastic case around it (one of the Korean model cases with the small section exposed though). The glass screen protector I had on it cracked, but the actual screen is fine. I tried turning the phone back on, but only the notification light comes on and it keeps blinking green and blue.
EDIT: So I guess the LCD is broken cause the digitizer is completely intact and there's no indication that the phone was even dropped. Usually its the other way around.....

Exactly the same thing happened to me. No visible damage, but screen wont come on. LED is blinking blue and green.
Do you have any new updates regarding your phone problem?

The only new thing that I discovered was that the backlight is probably broken. I can see a very faint image of the LG boot logo and the carrier logo when the phone boots up, but it just hangs there and the LED keeps blinking till the battery runs out/is taken out so I don't know what else is up.

No cracks at all. The only crack I had was on my tempered glass screen protector. I thought it was the actual screen, but I took it off and the screen was unscathed.

Take it back to and tell them that the phone just stopped working. I'm sure they will fix it under warranty.

Ive just dropped mine from sitting on the loo, 2 foot drop if that and again, wont turn the screen on led flashed blue/green omg, not having a good day after being late for work cos the car ran out of petrol while I was scraping the windows, then broke the key off in the lock for the shed, had to break into my shed only to find the petrol can was empty, defrosted my wife's car and went n got some petrol in the can, fitted the filler pipe to the can, on putting the petrol in the car the pipe snapped off so had to go hunting for another, now I've just dropped my sodding phone gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ive just shined a light on it and it is on and working but screen is black without the torch, managed to turn brightness to full, no better.
Update, phone was deemed not repairable by my phone insurance through my bank so they sent me a brand new one yummy ?
ok so recently i dropped my phone on some concrete floor it has a case on. when i looked at the phone and no scratches and scuffs were found but when i tuned on the screen it was glitching badly the lock screen was moving up and down a lot . i then took out the battery and put it back in. when the screen turned on the lg looked weird the color was white , you can still use touch screen etc and see the lock and home screen but instead of the normal colors the screen was red and white any one can help me?? i dont think this phone has warranty please help me im very scared ... to fix the screen i dropped the phone on the concrete phone multiple times and it fixed it but any light pushing or light drops makes the phone go back to the screen again so i have to drop it some more times to fix. please help me before i break the screen digitizer or lcd :crying: ]
Unfortunately, even if you had a warranty it wouldn't cover damage caused by a drop.
I think your only option is to take or send the phone to be repaired. It might need a new screen assembly.
