Hi, after I've spoiled a little bit of water over my LG K10, (LGK420N) , my screen started flickering and now it's most of the times black,.
I can't get in my phone, because i can't see my normal screens anymore.
It is still working fine further, i recieve messages and makes noise, only I can't see them.
What can I do to recover my LG K10 again,
I can't get into the download or recovery mode because i can't see a thing.
Thanks in advance !
Dead screen probably
I solved this disassembling(with stopped phone and without battery ) the phone and clearing small green oxide near the rear speaker with ear bud and acetone, was a very little thing in my case but was worked, and previously, with hair dryer (some minutes).
you need to remove the antena protector tho acces to the zone thath i say.

My Hermes 8525 display has gone fully white.. I cant see or do anything on it.. Anyone got any idea why this is so ??
8525,

try searching...
typed in " white screen hermes" and came up with a heap of links... heres 1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2254487
Did the display fade to white? Or did you turn your screen back on and find it was all white?
There's a known problem for HTC Hermes with the D-pas causing white screen, and a little mod to fix it by putting something behind the D-Pad itself such as a small very thin piece of foam. Obviously this requires taking your mobile apart.
If you flashed and then got a white screen I'd try getting into your bootloader and take it from there....

Hi,
had the same problem. I took the battery out (read this in one post somewhere here) and then everything went ok. I also saw the post about the dpad, but was not nessesary. Although I think I was just lucky. I think that it happens often, you should do that.
Regards,
They display faded into White.. It was working fine. one fine day, as i was replying to a text message.. or when searching phone book.. or any action.. slowly the entire screen faded into white.. once i did a restart and removed the battery a cpl of times and it seemed ok.. but now its permanently white.. i cant even enter boot logger mode.. or even if i did, i wont know or cant see that i am in bootlogger mode...
Any ideas??

1st, scuse please 1st post, bad day at work...
1. Does it get hot anywhere on the front of the hermes. A mate of mine had a capacitor burn out that caused white screen...
2. Try opening the keypad then reseting. This worked for mine BUT it is a pressure issue and as I closed it found that touching a certain spot in the bottom right corner of the casing would make it whitescreen again.
Other than that you might have to open up your hermes to try and fix...
Heres how to open up :http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c02_owner=1
Make sure you have the correct tools though as it makes life easier. No. 6 torque key and a flat bladed screwdriver are good..
Cheers...
I just had the same problem on my TyTN. Everything but the cover and battery was replaced in warranty and now it is solved. It seem to be the connectors to the screen that crack.

Read the thread for this and see if you are having the same problem as many of these people. It helped me figure my own problem out a lot. Good luck

This is the same thing that happened to me At&T told me it was the D-pad because that broke before my white screen issue and they replaced it for me
white screen probs
had the same problem on a few hermes now....replaced the screen to no availl....after many other trials i replaced the circuit board under the d-pad and problem sloved.....i havnt got the know how to test the board for faults but i would agree that the board is the problem any one know what the function of the part is exactly....screen controller????
screws...
I had the same problem and was able to fix it temporarily using the foam-behind-the-Dpad-connector trick several (like 6 or 7) times but it always went white again within a few days. I finally got it to stick by loosening the tiny screws on the connector very slightly...haven't had a problem since. I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't just completely luck though. But seriously after so many times trying different thicknesses of foam and banging my head against the wall, I'm glad something worked. And now I can take it apart and put it back together in about 7 minutes, so that's a bonus! Might be worth a try if the foam thing doesn't work. Good luck.

Hey thanks all you guys.. I guess its the D-Pad connector issue.. will follow the resolution suggestions.. I will let you know if that helped...
mine fades to white everyonce in a while then comes back or i have to take the battery out and all is fine. it did it when i put wm6.1 on it. was perfect before i did that.
hi there
ive been having this issue for ages and have opened my handset to reseat the connector no fewer than 14 times in the last 2 weeks
today i had a breakthrough though,
what i did was completely cleaned the connectors using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip
the important bit: RESEAT the connector properly. it may look like its reseated but look at it side on and it should be perfectly flat, and if necessary push on it a little to make sure its seated
then, on the back cover (which you removed to get access to th d-pad) you'll notice a little rectangle 'pad' there roughly in the same place as the d-pad connector
get a white sticky label, or a post-it note or whatever and stick a little piece over that
then seal your phone back up and it should work.
i cant promise anything though, and any damage you do to your phone is entirely your responsibility
Hello,
I have an S620 running WM6.1. Everything has worked well for ages, but for no apparent reason today the screen "crashed" and is 90% white noise (like a TV with the antenna cable pulled out).
I tried a cold boot which seemed to work, but when I then shutdown and put the SIM back in and re-started - no dice. Back to WHite noise. I have subsequently tried a few more cold boots but all I get now is the top 10 % of the screen shows the green windows startup logo all squashed up.
The wierd thing is the phone itself appears to still work - but the screen is useless.
Can anyone offer any help ?
thanks
ur screen seems to be cracked.. u need to replace a new one
You can easily get a cheap on off ebay and then there is a youtube video that demonstrates to you how to install a new screen. Its fairly simple and cheap.
but if ur gettin the dream jus wait and dnt wrry
ok, thanks for this guys. Its a bit strange that its a cracked screen as I haven't dropped the phone and it looks in perfect condition from the outside. I did wonder if perhaps the internal ribbon cable might have fractured somehow or become loose.
I will crack the phone open and have a fiddle !
If anyone else has any thoughts I#d much appreciate it.
The phone isn't worth much but I really like it. I even handed back a Nokia E90 communicator (which I personally think is crap) to my company because I prefer the 620 with WM6.1.
Last night I was out and during the night I pulled my desire z out of my pocket to find that the screen was dead, the soft touch buttons were still lit up and working but no display. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot and no luck, you can hear it booting and even unlock/receive calls and txts etc once it has booted up just the screen stays blank the whole time so have to do everything on feel.
Essentially does this just mean my screen has a hardware fault? is it worth trying to fix? I assume the only option would be to purchase a replacement screen and dissemble and reassemble it?
(warranty is not worth it as I live in New Zealand and would have to send my phone back to the UK where I bought it from, also I have dropped it quite a few times so probably voided anyway...)
Thanks in advance for any input
Does it never display anything? So not even a flash during boot or something?
Because then it is probably a hardware problem.
Since the soft touch buttons do still work I think there might be a little crack or something in the flat cable that connects the bottom half with the top.
Maybe you could check whether you can see if the cable is broken or not?
The best thing to do then is to look for a replacement and try to fix it yourself or bring it to a shop where they can do it for you.
No it never displays anything, completely dead the whole time. The touch input is still working though as I answered a phone call this morning on it by making the usual gesture just without being able to see anything. Doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the cable itself as far as I can see. Yea might have to get someone to have a look at it.
My phone is acting the same. I dropped my phone in the pond before, but pulled battery out on time and had it in rice for a day. My phone was still working for about two weeks after that incident. I dropped it and had one little crack at the top of the screen and about a week after that it died when I had a water balloon fight with the phone in my pocket. D;
Do any of you know if the replacement lcd screen/digitizer for the Desire Z would work for the G2?
I had the same thing happening to my G2 screen, only it was intermittently working for a little while, then just completely died and wouldn't work. It was doing this crazy flickering thing then the back light wouldn't go on at all. If I held the phone at a certain angle in the sun, I could see that the pixels were indeed working on the display, but there was no backlight to make them normally visible.
So I purchased a replacement screen from ebay and carefully followed the directions on a youtube video for a G2 take apart. Its not a hard task to take apart and get down to the screen itself. It was rather easy. After putting it back together the screen still didn't work! Sounds work, i can also receive calls etc. But the screen still doesn't work!
Is there any way that this could be a software issue?
Oh and PS, I believe the LCD replacement would work for both the desire Z and the G2. They are identical phones after all right? I'd say its a safe bet. The screen I bought was only 35 bucks. Didn't think that was a bad deal.
Another dead screen or something else?
Few days ago my phone fell of the couch onto a rug - no big deal, so far it has survived much worse, but when I picked it up, the colors were all messed up - overly green and red. Tried restarting - no luck. Everything worked fine, except the colors, but then the screen turned of completely. I could hear notifications, phonecalls, but the screen was dead. After some tapping on the screen, it turned on again - with ****ed up colors. Then started flickering and was gone again. Few more times I could turn it on by tapping before it was dead for good.
Figured, after all these drops it survived, maybe the screen connector is a bit loose. I mean, I could sometime get a contact when tapping it, so I dissasambled it completely, secured all the connection, put it all back tougether and fired up - same thing: dead screen, phone working.
Has anyone had such problem before? Is it screen that is dead, or connector or... I have no clue... I would like try to fix it on my own, with some replacement parts I could get on ebay - but, what gave?
Whenever i flash any rom even my stock also. my phone has started giving haptic feedback. screen start shaking and screen gets touched by itself 3-4 times. even sometime my mic gets closed.the person on other side are not able to hear my voice so then i have to turn off the screen and then trun it on to make it normal WTF is this..!!.. i am getting this problem since 4 days.
i need solution please. i have green lense defy.
Do you wipe data/factory reset after flash?
Sounds like rain or wet finger. If you have sweaty hand, it is already possible that your touchscreen I'd doing weird because of water.
even my 2 month old Defy+ shows same problem sometimes...
if i blow air near earphone, this happens for sure...i guess the touchscreen sensor/controller & its cables are somehow affected by it...
still i assure u water does not enter inside from sides of the screen..
i think its probably due to wet/sweaty fingers...
So this happened last August and still no luck to this day. What happened was I saw an update for Fulmics ROM which was at version 6.0 at the time and I was still running the previous version so I updated it and the installation was successful until the screen went black while I was browsing the net. At first I figured a clean install would solve things but the problem persisted up to this day. I tried other ROMs (both AOSP and Stock) and had no luck on either. There are some days when things seem to be working fine but then the screen just turns black on its own. I was able to download some apps and even use it for a time but the screen will just go black all of a sudden. I tried wiping the storage (internal and external) and still it goes black. I tried backing up the current "working" ROM I have which is an AOSP one but then during the backup the screen went black and the file is probably corrupted at this point. I also feel that even when it "turned off" there's still power in the phone since the battery becomes drained of its charge over time. I tried replacing the battery with a new one but it didn't solve things for me. Additionally, I encountered a weird part of the recovery wherein there's an orange background and white text which really surprised me like pressing detonate. Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing the lcd flickering/fading/dying issue some other users have experienced. It is a problem with the main board/connectors, and not the LCD itself. You can try an easy fix, but it may not be a permanent fix.
You'll need to take the back cover off of your phone and put some folded up tape or a label of some sort - something with a little thickness to it - on the rear camera connector; you can also put some on the front camera connector and the metal can that covers the processor chip, but the rear camera connector is the most important spot. Here's a pic with the spots labeled for you.
View attachment 3896177
What you are looking to do is put enough - but not too much - tape on those spots to add a little pressure to the board when the rear cover goes back on & it is screwed back together. I've done this fix on a friend's phone and it has worked well, although I ended up having to do it again about 4-5 months later.
*Follow this G3 teardown guide to step 7, carefully/gently re-seat the connectors once for good measure(optional), and then put your tape on... https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/LG+G3+Screen+Replacement/33203
**Remember that when you put your back cover on and screws in that there is one shorter screw - it is labeled in step 4 of the teardown.

I followed the instructions by adding some paper/tape to the labelled areas. However, the phone now won't turn on. The last time I was able to boot it up was yesterday and it only went so far as the LG logo. The logo seemed off and broken, white lines were all over the place. I tried going to recovery but the phone just died afterwards. I tried charging it and the screen remained black but the phone gets warm specifically around the power button/volume rocker area. I was able to boot it up now and I managed to successfully install a ROM but the screen still goes black and then boot up again but I wasn't able to use the ROM. I tried entering recovery and sometimes, booting up the recovery is a success other times the screen will just go black before entering the recovery. I'm using TWRP 3.0.2 and when I tried to wipe/flash some ZIPs or just tweak some of the settings the phone will just freeze and vibrate so much to the point that the only way to stop it from vibrating is by removing the battery. What seems to be the problem in my phone? Is my phone bricked in any way?
