hey everybody, heres my issue, would like some thoughts on what to repair to fix it or if there is something i can try before i do..
i've been flashing over og droids to cricket for a little bit now, and love these phones. i flashed one for my buddy the other day and last night it fell off the couch literally 8 inches onto carpet and now his phone comes on but nothing shows up on the screen, the 4 buttons @ the bottom still work and i can navigate through the menus with the touchscreen it just has no picture?? i put my og droid next to his and went thru settings on mine as to navigate his to a factory reset and nothing has changed ;/ just wondering what needs to be replaced or if there is somthing i can bang it against to make it work again lol. thanks in advance for any help!!
It sounds like something broke in the fall, although 20 cm onto carpet doesn't sound very hard at all. Does the backlight for the LCD still come on?

I just bought my tilt from at&t about 2-3 weeks ago, and now I believe the screen is broken. The weird thing is its not cracked, it was sitting on my bed and i recieved a text and I picked it up and the screen was out. I didn't drop it or hit it with anything, now the screen is completely white, with what looks like ink in the lower right corner and thats why im assuming its the screen. So the question is, is it soley the screen or could my rom, duttys latest hybrid version, have messed with anything? And I'm not sure how that would affect anything anyway. I just don't see why it would go out all the sudden and nothing have happened to it. Im under the assumption now that it is the screen, but was wanting to if it was a hardware problem. I've searched some threads and I havn't found one where there wasn't a crack in the screen.

It's definitely the screen, the 'ink' color is the liquid crystal layer that's ruptured..
About a month ago I got my Kaiser screen replaced as it was broken, now all of a sudden the screen is all whitish and I can hardly ready whats on it!
Is the screen broken again??
I'm fixing to replace the screen in a Kaiser i bought used with a broken screen. From the reading i've done, it sounds like one of the cables to the screen is loose. Trying pressing on the middle of your keyboard and see if anything happens. The big ribbon cable has a connector there.
hmmmm coming to think of it when I pressed the middle of the screen it used to do some funny effect (like when you press your TFT monitor) but now nothing happens!
Is your screen something like this?

last night i was woken up by a text, i looked at my phone and all of a sudden the screen went crazy. Started scrolling up and down (like a bad signal/wrong format ntsc/pal on a tv). Everything got all messed up and lines and dashes all over, kinda like your screen, it started acting wierder when i began applying pressure on the top of the device by the earpiece and d-pad. So i soft-reset the device and it was still doing it while boot up, leading me to believe it wasn't a software issue.
So in my half awake state i just left it on my nightstand. I woke up and its perfectly fine now, even when i press all around the screen.. wierd huh?
I didn't notice anything like you descriped, touch screen and everything else worked like before. Only the colors were like on the picture. Tried hard reseting but didn't help. Phone is still under warranty so sent it to be repaired, i can post what they did when i get it back.
Thanks jrask. Thats exactly how it looks.
I think i have some bad news for you, the screen was damaged and needed to be replaced. I think it was cracked under the frame.
Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody would be able to maybe help me diagnose the fault\problem part with my non-working diamond...
Basically I went to a club one night and the place was unbelievably steamy / humid. My phone was working one minute and then the next it wouldnt display anything on the LCD. The backlight was working however.
Since then I havent been able to get an image on the screen although when trying to turn it on, it seems to go through its startup sequence (backlight -> vibration -> beep (i think))
I havent had any power to the phone since a day after it broke (a few weeks ago).
I'd like to get it back working again but dont know exactly what part i would need to replace. I'm fairly competent with electronics .
Any help/advite would be appreciated!
Haha, ok that's odd...
I've plugged it into my pc to get some data files off about an hour ago.. forgot about it and just looked at it now and the screen is displaying!
It is displaying and accepting input although it was flickering at first (like pixel shifting). but i pressed the power button to standby the screen and pressed it again and the display is fine with no flickering ?
Ive moved the phone about and shook it quite hard to see if there's any loose connection but the display still seems fine..
Anybody have any ideas as to what it may be?
I'm not going to deem it as fixed until I know what the problem was/is lol
cheers guys
Ok screen actually keeps flickering nonstop, and sometimes 'fades away' to gray/white/black
comes back after a few seconds though
Looks like a faulty connector?
Hey dear friends
2 days ago my phone failed to the ground from top my bed and got wrecked
My phone's LCD show nothing except that a black screen with a little light
I think and I hope it's from that cable that connect contacts of LCD to main board I think it called Flat or something else.....
I disassemble it my self and I wanna to show it to a mobile service center tomorrow....
anybody have any idea about this issue?what's the problem?
Before you start considering taking it apart, try plugging into your computer first.
I know it sounds daft, but after I dropped my phone last summer, when I tried to turn it on you could see a slight change in the shade of black, yet nothing would show. (Implying that the screen was still powered in some way, but just didn't display anything)
I'd just tried to plug it in to get the data off it before sending it away after a few days of hoping it would come back on, and the screen came back on!
It might not work for you, but it's worth a shot!
Last Xperia X1 I had for repairs had black LCD after a fall. It buzzed and started up, but LCD remained black - flex needs to be replaced.

did this problem ever come back?
Well back in February i smashed the screen on my vivd. Still wokred just a smashed screen, at that point i put it in the drawer and moved on. Well i just broke it out agian today and plugged it into my PC and now i only have backlight (no real screen) and the LED indicator is lit orange. My PC loaded the drivers fine, but ive never seen this. It worked after the drop (and used it a bit after as well) but never did the screen totally die.
Im assuming the phone is still alive, but do you think its anything more then a screen replacement? With the touch panel on the bottom im hesitant about replacing the screen myself, i think radioshack does screen fairly cheap. Thoughts?? Dead? Restorable?

i would think you would have to replace the lcd since it shows the image, might wanna replace the digitizer/screen while your at it too cx
