Tilt 2 Touch screen issue

Hi All,
I have a Tilt 2 and today I notice that I have a black stain on back of my screen. I first thought it was due to humidity since I am in mexico right now on vacation. But after playing around I figure out that looks like a burn pixels and also my touch screen fuctionality is not working any more. its like its froozen. I have tried to reset but its not helping.
I am thinking maybe this has happen due to some pressure on the phone during the flight i am not really sure. Do you think the LCD is bad? do I need to change the LCD or is there any other way to fix this. I see these items on ebay. do i need to buy both items?

I would appriciate any help
Thanks.

Update:
Looks like its not a dead pixel. some how the humidity has cause water to go behind the screen between the LCD and front cover. Any ideas how to get ride of it with out opening up the LCD? I tried blow dring but that has not help alot. The strange part is it goes a way after a while and touch screen starts to work but then it comes back again.
any ideas would be appriciated.
Thanks.

My screen is broken but what part of it?

I've searched and I can't find anyone else that has the same screen issue as me (they may have but without a picture I can't be certain).
Anyway, I was pulling stuff out of my gym locker yesterday and something knocked my Evo out. Of course it fell flat on the bench, thus causing the screen to become damaged. However, my "cracked" screen doesn't look like any of the other cracked screens I've seen online. My front piece of glass (the part your finger actually touches) remains intact and in great condition (I know I can still unlock the screen because I can feel the haptic feedback of the capacitive buttons), but it's like the screen behind it is what's actually damaged.
Is that correct? And what part would I need to order to replace it. Thanks

I believe that its the lcd

yep thats the lcd itself

Yep, sounds like your digitizer is ok, but your lcd is borked.

Thanks everyone. Will probably be picking up an EVO 3D, then selling my OG after I fix it.

[Q] Back light only comes on after replacing LCD and Digitizer

Hello, and I appreciate everyone who has taken a look at this post.
I recently replaced my LCD and Digitizer. A couple of months ago I dropped my phone into the bilge(bottom of a boat) filled with oil. When this happened the digitizer had a crack in the corner and the LCD got flooded with oil, not to mention the phone. I took of the back cover and let the oil drain out. I didn't open up the housing or anything. I soaked up as much oil as possible. Still though, half of the screen was a few shades darker and difficult to read text messages and playing games were out of the question. Everything else was fine, the OS didn't slow down and I saw no signs of rust anywhere.
During the holidays, I got the digitizer and LCD. So I followed the video on youtube from this website on how to take apart the Xperia Play. I replaced the LCD and I used the same adhesive strip over again with the digitizer. Now when I turn on my phone, it vibrates, but the back light comes on periodically for about 2-3 seconds and then turns of. And then a few minutes later the back light will turn on and turn off again. i get no picture from the LCD. I have turned it off and on a few times. Same thing. I have also tried turning it on while holding the power button and random combinations of the other buttons. I plugged it into my pc and when the back light goes off, my computer detects a device but shortly after losses it.
I have read through other threads to see for similar stories. The only thing i can think of is maybe, I damaged the strip of the LCD or i fried my mother board. I just would like to know if it is another problem or if anyone has some good solutions for this.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. I love this phone and this n00b needs some help. Lol.

If it was just oil you dropped it in then the electronics will probably be fine as it is non conductive so the problem probably lies somewhere else. I do many phone repairs, mainly to iPhones, HTC's etc, but I have never done an XP so not too sure on specifics but what you describe would probably be ribbon cable related, either not a perfect connection or slightly damaged. It only takes a slight nick on the ribbon to render it useless. I replaced a digitizer on an HTC sensation once and the phone did exactly the same as what you describe. I took the new one off and put the old cracked one back on and the phone was normal again.
Dunno how much that helps but hope it's of some use

Screen not displaying anything at all

I know it turns on, it vibrates, and the notification light turns on and stuff, but the screen does absolutely nothing. The bottom buttons work fine. I dropped it on a tile floor screen first and it cracked, most of the crack being centralized in where the lcd ribbon is on the top left. The screen doesn't look cracked or anything. I tried opening it and reattaching the ribbon, but it didn't work. Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to fix it? Id rather not have to spend $300 for a whole new screen. Thanks

That screen is gone as you allready suspected. Take it to a service center or replace it yourself.

so nothing else could possibly be wrong with it? I just don't see how a cracked screen could do this

Go to the nearest Samsung repair center ,and pay 500 $ for it..Or replace it yourself but this means you'll lose the warranty.I feel sorry for you and for your N2..Why did'nt you bought a case?I actually have the Samsung Cover + and my dad dropped it .Nothing bad happened.

I called samsung and they said it would be $180 to fix it which seemed cheap but I don't know. I'll probably just sell it as is, buy a temporary phone, and wait for the s4 to come out. I had a case on it, but not the flip cover ones because they were annoying and didn't protect the sides at all. Plus this was a little more forceful than a regular drop.

No Display after dropping phone

Hi,
Unfortunately for me i dropped my phone and cracked my tempered glass in several places. gladly the screen underneath was perfectly fine after drop however, it has developed a fault as the screen won't turn on at all. I tried turning it off and restarting and although i can hear the boot up logo sound i see no picture at all. i can receive calls but cannot answer due to screen not displaying.
The screen had four main pressure cracks.... one is top left, one on the ear speaker, one bottom middle and one bottom left of phone. hopefully you can see it in picture.
Can you give advice on what to try or do to resolve this? will i need a new screen or disassemble to see what the issue is?
I've only had the phone for 2/3 months at most
Thanks in advance

looks like i will answer my own question....
i bought a replacement lcd & digitiser, one complete unit and swapped the necessary components over to new screen. all is working and good. not sure if the screen is repairable but there are other parts inside this screen worth selling on. it still has a non cracked immaculate screen along with the charging port and other stuff inside old screen.
at a cost of £70, i consider this an expensive fix
Thanks for the input kakawak
cheers
