I cut / creased the touch screen layer, the "glass" image is fine...but don't want to ditch the device just ecause the stylus functionality goes a little haywire sometimes. Anyone know who could fix it?

Hello, I am a true noob so please forgive me if I sound dumb.
I had a broken screen so I bought a new one on Ebay. I changed it perfectly, it looks good but now when I touch the screen it acts like I touched the top left corner (in portrait)no matter where on the screen I touch (so it opens up the "Start" menu). In landscape it acts like I touched the top right so it opens up the drop down menu with all the running programs.
I would really appreciate some help. I try re-aligning the touch screen but it does not recognize any touches at all. I have to soft reset the phone to get out of the re-align program.
I don't want to hard reset because I have read many cases where the phone gets stuck in align program as it is trying to setup and they have to install remote access or something to get around it.
I would like advise on whether it is the new screen or the phone. Is there something I can check for inside or should I send the screen back for a replacement.
Thank you for your help.
Having replaced the touch screen in a Palm with success, I would say that...
You either have a problem with the connector for the screen, recheck the connection
Someone sold you a bad screen.
Something else is wrong with the device.
At this point I don't know that in your position I wouldn't do a hard reset. What is the worst thing that can happen? The device is already broken in it's current state.
Good luck.
Thank you
Thank you very much for your help. I will try the connector. if it does not look damaged then I will return the screen.
Did you replace just the screen itself, or the screen and the digitizer? More than likely your digitizer is broken aswell. If you replaced them as a set, request a new one from wherever you got it, and if you just replaced the LCD, then you need to buy a digitizer aswell.

Well, I only received the screen. I cant figure out where the digitizer is on the tilt so I don't know if I changed it or not. Does any body have any picture??
I think I read somewhere that it all comes as one piece(the screen and digitizer), but I can't confirm it.
Indeed they most of the time do come as one peice, so if your connection is good on the mobo, then I would say that the digitizer you recieved is bad. The digitzier is the super thin peice of glass that covers the LCD screen.
my galaxy ace had dust under the screen. to remove it, i disassembled the phone. I removed the dust between the glass and the screen, assembled the phone again and booted it up. But know the phone does not respond to any touch.
to find out what the problem is i'd like to know how the screen works. I believe that when I touch the screen, this is sent from the front glass to the 'phone', which makes the screen show the according view. So when the screen does not respond to me touching the screen i'd have to look for a new glass or could there be another problem?
i''ve cleaned the screen with lcd screen cleaner (on both sides because there was a fingerprint on it on the back side). I don't know if there was some sort of layer on the glass which could be removed by this cleaner, which actually would be essential for the touch function.
i hope someone can help me. I'd like to use this ace for a longer time...

thanks! i've used that tutorial for replacing the broken screen my ace came with from my sister. I replaced it and then everything worked fine again. However ,after that screen replacement, there got dust under the screen which I tried to remove this afternoon.
The dust is gone, but the screen doens''t respond to anything now.
I'am wondering if i 'broke' the screen and I should get a replacement screen, or that i may have damaged the lcd screen (which is fine i think, it displays everthing perfectly). or maybe the glass is fine but some connector is defect (i've disassembled the phone again, checked everything and connected it again).
Hello. I need a help about my nexus 6 if someone understand its inner components .
I replaced the screen and after that everything works well except serverals screen flickerings and artefacts which appears randomly, not very often, especially on in cold temperature or if I bend or touch the phone harder. After flickering screen stays black and I'm forced to press hard right upper corner of the phone or bend it a little bit to get it back to work. I think there must be some flex cable maybe not well fixed, can you please help me which one can make this issue? Or could it be something else? Maybe whole new LCD part defective? On which part of the phone should I focus if I will disassemble it again?
Thank you very much.
So my phone cracked up today(rip) while I was doing some gym exercises. The phone fell from like 1.5 metter or so and the screen cracked.
The problem is that screen won't turn on, even when the phone looks like it works. I tried to furce shut down and turn it on and back and recents buttons work, but screen while stay black. What should I do? I will replace the screen but I'm not sure why screen won't show up, maybe something got disconected with the fell? Does anyone has any type of experience with this?

So, your screen is broken, and you need to have it repaired, what is the problem? Some parts still working?
Just get it fixed...

I really don't know why you asked this question, but I always try to be helpful. Since you did drop it, and from such a height (do you like keep your phone in your pocket while doing pull-ups? Mine's always in my bag and I use BT earphones).
Since your screen is cracked, and that impact could've damaged your phone in many ways.
1. You could've damaged your digitizer, which is a screen replacement situation
2. You bent a cable from your screen to something else, and that may be the issue, still would need to replace the screen.
Your buttons working have no relativity with the screen not working, it works with other hardware not interacting with your screen.
Don't go for third-party screen replacements that "fixes your digitizer seperate from the touch", it mostly doesn't work, and it'll be a waste of money, if you bought it from OP Store, just RMA it, or if you bought it from a seller in your country, just order the screen off eBay, and have it fixed. Your shop will most likely replace it with a non original screen, which will be horrible.
Cheers!
I think he is confused about the glass versus the AMOLED panel. A lot of times, you see folks with broken glass, but the screen still works (still displays graphics) and he is wondering why that isn't the case. At least, that is how I'm interpreting the question.
The answer is that the "screen" is composed of layers. The top layer is the glass (which for Super AMOLED also incorporates the touch panel or digitizer) and below that is the AMOLED which actually displays the graphics.
Since the glass is broken, and the AMOLED is not working, it's possible (or even likely) that the AMOLED was also broken in the impact. Yes, it's also possible that a connector has come loose. But from what I'm reading, it's actually common for the AMOLED to break before Gorilla Glass does: http://www.gophermods.com/amoled-vs-lcd-tale-two-screens/
A lot of times when you see folks with glass broken, but everything (touch and graphics) still work, it may be with LCD screens; which are supposedly more durable (more possible for glass to break before the LCD).
I take extremely good care of my phone and one day, this thin white line horizontally ran across the screen. It bothered me but all the touch functions and screen sensitivity were in tact so I left it for a few days. When I would turn it on the bottom half of the screen would be white but I could get it to go away by touching the top half and I could touch anything under the white block too. But now I can't even do that, it does some weird flash and won't let me look at my phone at all. When the white line appeared at first I did a factory reset etc. But it didn't help. I don't know what happened to it, the screen doesn't have one crack or scratch either. So my question is what the heck is wrong with it? and if I were to replace what is wrong what would that be (screen, lcd, touch digitizer) or something I didn't list? please help!!
