Hi,
Unfortunately I dropped my phone on Saturday, it land perfectly upside down ( as in top bezel of the phone, not on the screen face) and my screen has died. I can turn the phone on and the led just flashes between blue and green, nothing else happens. Guy at carphone warehouse reckons the screen has just disconnected, anyone else have any thoughts? Don't really want to send it off for repair for £60.
Thanks
Jimbo

I craked my G2's screen (Fell asleep on the couch with it in my pocket). It turns on and only displays 2 green lines. The cracks are on the bottom left side of the screen. I found a site with the screen for $59.99 and a digitizer for $46.19. I talked with TMO and they said it was not covered under warranty, no insurance. They gave me a decent price on a MT4G (13yr customer).
I would like to get the G2 fixed/sold. I am not sure if there is more damage since it does not boot, etc. Should I order the parts and try to fix it myself, or is there somewhere else to send it to for repair?
Thanks,
Eric
How much do you want for it as is ?

I would see if there is more wrong before buying parts to fix it.
Try to connect it to adb and see if it's recognized. That way you don't have to see anything on the screen
your PC will tell if it's communicating.
Sometimes you can shine a flash light up to a broken screen and see the home screen.
In those cases I would try to fix it myself. If not you may need to send it to HTC.
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.
Long story short, I was working on my GF's grandmas car, and she calls so I was talking to her. I sweat a lot, and the phone screen usually gets covered in sweat. I guess some of it got INTO the phone, and broke my god damn screen. At night, the screen was flickering brightness. I rebooted the phone and it went away, so I figured nothing of it. This morning, I woke up and the screen was flickering bad and then it went black and now it randomly draws purple. the phone works as I can hear it open and run apps. The screen is just black. zero physical damage, water marks on the phone are white. I can see where it was wet on the bottom of the phone inside. Tried taking out the mobo and looking, no signs of corrosion.
help... I don't want to throw a ~$150 LCD screen at it.
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 ?
A few days ago my s4 mini fell in the toilet. I cleaned it put it in rice for 26 hours~ and also dissasembled it and blew the screen with a hair dryer. Now when I power it up it shows the logo s4 mini etc. etc. but instead of the samsung logo with the noise i get a white screen. After a while when it boots up it is still white but I can unlock it i hear the sound etc. Before that white screen i was stuck with a light blue one. Upon plugging in the charger i got solid 5 minute of "fixed" display (grayer colours, broken full brightness etc.). I ran the diagnostics test which is *#0*# I tested the colours and i found the red pixels turned to pink like red and the blue turned to purple. After a while it was quite hot and i lost that window of accessibility as the screen got stuck with a white display as mentioned above. My question is is there anyway to fix this without buying a new screen panel (which costs 85$ for my colour) or the only way is paying for the full service by Samsung?
Hi Costas,
The problem you have is called „ water damage“. All what you have done is not bad except that you shouldn't power it on. But look on the youtube how to handle phone with water damage or to bring it disassambled to some smart phone repair shop who is specialized in fixing the phones with water damege. It's not enough just to dry the components and fire it up becouse the chlor from the water make conections which you can't see by „naked eye“ and there for is washing in other chemicals neccecery to „TRY“ to save your water damaged phone. And even after this threatment there is no garantee that the phone will working as before if water have reached places which are difficult to clean. So, it's not helpful to say anything about your phone esspecially becose you have swiched it on. Succes !

First error, put your phone in rice, really that only works for youtubers.
As boombastical said, you need to remove all remaining conductive and corrosive components that were dissolved in the water
