Is my Milestone bricked? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I have a Motorola Milestone that was working fine until it was charging, and suddenly nothing comes up on screen. You can wake it up and the capacitive buttons function and provide feedback, but it's just a blank black screen, with backlit. You can power it off and on, and you can see the screen turn on, but no Moto logo or anything else. The buttons work as if the phone is on, and the LED even gives notifications of received messages. Anyone experience this? I cannot even see the menus is I were to try to go to the recovery menu.

Maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think it's bricked, just some hardware component died.

Black Screen

My Fiancee's G1 wont turn on at all,No T-mobile slpash screen or nothing.LED lights turn on and Call,Home,Back and Power buttons light up except for the screen itself her phone wasnt rooted,I have never experienced this before.
Can someone please help?
the phone is not turning on via the power(end) button???
try pressing the camera button and keeping it pressed, also press the power button to enter into hboot mode...if u succeed in entering that mode, the phone is fine, or else it could be bricked.
Try Home+Power see if you can get into recovery mode.
If you can wipe cache data.
Hi everyone, hope it's okay to post this here since this Question relates to mine.
I'm having a trouble like this except instead it's like my backlight went out, it was working fine until my alarm on my phone went off and when I went to turn it off I had to take the battery out of my phone because the screen wasn't pulling up. It flashed basically, so when I put the battery in the screen came on but no backlight. Could it be due to Cyanogen? I'm restoring my backup to see what else could I try?
could u be a bit more specific?phone is working??? calls etc???or are u stuck somewhere????
As I said, the screen came on but no backlight. The phone works fine except for the backlight I'm trying to figure out if it's a hardware issue or a software issue. I don't know how much more specific I can get really except that the only way to see the screen is to hold it at a certain angle so the light hits it just right.

Black screen but touch screen works?

Hello, sorry if this has been answered, i did a search for black screen and didn't find the same thing.
Basically my nook hd+ is about 2 months out of warranty. When i try to power it on, i can see the screen light up but nothing is displayed (its all black and dims slightly). When i was messing with it trying to reset it, it started to read aloud the applications i touched on or button i pressed. So the touch screen is still working even though it's not displaying anything. I tried to hard reset it, by holding down the buttons and pressing the n twice, but that didn't seem to work either. Anyone got ideas?
Don't know what that is -> "holding down the buttons and pressing the n twice".
But if I had this problem I would...
Hold down the power button for >10 seconds as this completely turns off the device, then attempt to turn it back on.
And if that failed to work... let it sit and run out of battery, then plug it in to the wall usb adapter, let it charge for an hour, then try powering it on with the power button.
And if that failed to work, since its outta warranty, buy something that works.
But that's only what I would do

Screen wont display anything, notification light works, phone kinda turns on

I have a rooted VS980 with nameless rom. Just out of nowhere i went to turn on my phone screen and the screen illuminated like it wanted to turn on, but nothing came up. It was plugged in, charging. the notification light was working and told me i had a text. I held down the power for 20 seconds or longer and it seemed like thephone restarted, the screen went black and then illuminated again. But no LG logo, no nothing. I let it die completely before trying again, and i plugged it in and tried to turn it on withno avail.. No button combo works, im pretty sure the phone is just done. I didnt drop it or anything and i wasnt doing anything to it when it stopped working. If I hold the power down for a long period of time the red led starts blinking red. I dont know what to do, any ideas?

Screen black, reboots but still black screen

Tab s2 8.
Was using practically fully charged tablet one minute, went to use again and screen black.
Back and task switch buttons still light up when press power or home. Plus volume up/down makes the louder/quieter beeps.
Power and volume down gives me the quickest flash of the samsung and android boot logos and then screen black again. Makes the email received notifications you get when restarting the tablet.
Is basically on but just no screen. But screen still functional enough to briefly show boot logos.
Any thoughts?
Update. After about 30 mins of faffing, magically returns to life. Any thoughts on common issues that might have caused? Indicator of something about to go wrong for good?
Put down gently today and the right side of the screen displaying flickering dark/black stripes. Left side of screen perfectly fine. Touch still works over the whole display. Any ideas? Internal cable come loose? Or something more terminal? How easy to check/fix?

LG G4 Screen Problem? Or Motherboard issue?

I have an Lg G4 ls991 from sprint. Haven't used it for like 2 years cause of this issue I got. When I power up the device it starts up with the lg logo then after a few seconds the screen goes black. LED lights still visible and pulsing a few senconds later the sprint boot animation can be heard but with black screen still. The phone turns on and completes the boot cycle but if I try to unlock the device it won't come one. If I hold the power button and wait a few seconds the screen will come on with half flickering and the other half normal. The touch does t work when the screen is on but when it's off and I double tap it the device appears to react with an unlock and black screen. Device seems to be running fine in the background like normal. I can still manage the volume, when pressed the beep sound comes up informing me that the volume changed. I have doubts that this can't be an screen issue but a Motherboard issue. Any thoughts on what could be the problem?
