Hi all-
My MZF went for a swim a couple weeks back. Put it in a bag with some DO NOT EAT desiccant packets for a few days, actually got it to turn back on, except the Power Button didn't work and the camera crashed every time I tried to open it.
I replaced the camera module and volume rocker/power strip with OEM used parts from eBay. Phone came back on, power button and camera worked, and everything actually seemed good until I plugged the phone in to charge.
I came back a little while later and the screen is black. Phone still vibrated on fingerprint touch, and when trying to power up/down with the power button. Did not come back on reboot, and every so often can see a very brief flash on the screen. No sound either. Thinking I somehow fried the display when I plugged it back in. Thinking about getting a replacement, but all the used ones on eBay are scratchy and/or burned in, and all the "new" "OEM" ones just seem shady.
Anybody ever done anything like this? Looking for any insight!
get a scratched screen and lay a glass screen protector on it this will hide some imperfections and prevent more. i replaced my screen once already and it waqs a pain but my moto branded part works great it came from a bad imei number
Found a decent OEM screen on eBay, didn't appear to be in too bad of shape. Definitely going to put a screen protector on it to help with any scratches. Sitting in my PO box right now, and and gonna try installing it this evening!
I am debating replacing mine. The screen scratched at the FFC and made any front pictures blurry. Did some rigging as a temp fix, but the camera sensor is now not covered by the plastic. If I do replace of, I'll do a tear down video. The screen isn't too hard to remove. Of almost came of when I ripped the protector off.

I was putting a zag screen protector on my evo and i used there spray and did what i was suppose to and when i finaly got the thing lined up and good to go i let it sit there for 20 minutes put my battery back in and noticed i have a grey out spot on my lcd screen under the glass by the home button i think the screen seal is no good anyone have this issue be4. I didnt spray my phone down. Sucks cause now im unrooting it and gonna take it in cause power button is squeeking and not working all the time and the grey spot is getting annoying..
Assuming you didn't spray to much, and assuming you squeezed as many bubbles and all the liquid underneath out and picked up the liquid quickly with an absorbent of some kind...then likely just coincidental. The replacement phones are crap. I'm taking mine back again because there is something wrong with the sound processing, I get crackles in the speaker and on headphones, and their is dust under my screen
I am pretty new here and have loves the source of all things EVO!
I flashed my first rom, broke the screen two days later, and reflashed it to stock so sprint would fix it. They replaced the front half of the phone. The glass, LCD, digitizer, bezel, and buttons. Here is my question: Now when i press firmly on the glass the LCD distorts like a computer monitor. It only happens when I press pretty hard while putting on my 3 layer case as one piece, so I am pressing pretty hard. I know thats probably how I wrecked the first screen, so I've stopped that. However I do not remember the origional screen doing that. Is sprint using lower grade glass screens?? Has anyone else noticed this?
I've broken my screen, to be accurate not me but some dude, he paid for the new screen. Ofcourse, he picked the most ****ty store he could to fix it to pay less money for it, it was horrible. Light from the side of the phone was leaking, the buttons didn't light up well, the front camera lense was missing and most importantly the screen itself wasn't like before. First of all, it fell off from the phone all the time ( with just the two connectors connected ), it was horrible pale and etc.
Being the social akward I am, I was silent about it, and got used to the screen after I glued it.
Anywho, yesterday without any warning or anything screen stopped working. Sound is playing, digitizer is prolly working, screen? nah. Black screen. I opened it up few times before as the LCD connector disconnected, it was okay. Now the connector was inside still, connected and I opened it and tried to tighten it up, thought it was loose or something. Nope, still no screen.
Now I come to you, xda, with the need of help.
Where can I buy a REAL. LCD2, like stock screen?
And if its possible, how can I identify if the screen I got earlier IS lcd2 original screen? ( the seller said it was, obviously it wasn't )
Thanks! ( Really hope for fast answer )

Hi,
I have attempted a glass only screen repair on my Note II which in hindsight was probably a mistake. Initially, I though things were going bad as I cracked and heated shards of glass away from the disassembled phone. Fully expecting to need to buy a new LCD/digitizer I eventually removed all the glass. Before cleaning the screen, I plugged it all back together and to my amazement it worked. Everything turned on and the digitizer worked so I turned it off and went about cleaning it up.
I then realized I could remove the backing that the glass was on, the bit with the black bezel. I don't know what this was or if I should have removed it or not. I cleaned what I think was the digitizer and LCD, put the new glass on and assembled the phone and this is where I'm stuck.
I try and power it on and all I get is one little red LED flash when I press the power button. When I press the power occasionally the screen flickers briefly as if it wants to turn on. I can't reset (10 seconds power) or hard reset (volume up + home + power). The phone is at full charge, it takes charge (my power supply "whistles") and the battery is at 4.1V.
Does anyone know what this symptom is or what I may have broken? I'm thinking I could have ruined the screen somehow, perhaps I shouldn't have pulled that last piece of plastic off or perhaps I have killed the motherboard but I don't see how..? Thanks for any assistance!
So I fixed the phone. Solution posted in case anyone else runs into this issue.
When I was removing the last layer on the screen or cleaning the goo off, I must have broken the screen. The red LED flash when I was turning the phone on is normal, it is just that the screen was not working. I got a new screen assembly and replaced the whole thing.
I've replaced about a dozen phone screens for myself, friends and family and I would strongly recommend replacing the whole screen assembly on a Note 2 instead of a glass only replacement.
I am a tech that does glass only replacements every day on s3 n2 and s4 and I can tell you that the black layer you removed was the digitizer and front half of the lcd that's were you messed up

I had my note 4 screen assembly replaced after I dropped it. However, the screen is no longer completely secured in the phone. The screen pushes into the frame if I place pressure on the screen and I can get my finger under the edge of the assembly on the top left corner. The home button is also loose, but gets tight like it should be if I hold the screen down. This is an annoying issue and I've recently noticed that dust is getting inside the phone, which I'm worried will cause hardware damage. The front camera is already blurry and cloudy from dust getting inside. If I take the screen off and apply new adhesive, will the screen sit in the frame like it should or is it impossible to restore the feel on a phone with a screen replacement to what it was like from the factory? I hope you hear from you guys, and thanks in advance.
I would take it to a local Sprint service and repair location (or where ever you got your screen replacement). They should be able to reseat your screen in the housing and clean your camera right up. In terms of applying new adhesive, you shouldn't really need to. The 15 some odd screws on the back should take care of it. Source: I'm a S&R Technician
Thanks for the help! My problem is that I'm hesitant to return to the shop where I got the screen replaced, because when they originally replaced it I was unsatisfied with how it fit so I went back and had them do some more work. It was alright at first, but it began to get steadily worse in a fairly short amount of time. So I'm a little cautious of going back there to ask them to do more work. If I asked them to reseat the screen assembly, do you think it would help? Also, is it possible to return to an almost-factory feel with a replaced screen or do I need to accept that the assembly will never be quite as tight as it originally was?
Similar issue
I had a similar issue and I took it back to sprint which they fixed regardless of my device being rooted.
Did you have the screen replaced before you took it to sprint, or was the screen loose from the factory?
you can find the replace guide at ifixit, I don't leave the link,you can google it.
If you want to buy original LCD screen ,you can go to the HCQS.
