i bought the screen replacement off of ebay for my captivate. i followed all the instructions perfectly for it. Now, I can actually use the phone, but eveything is green and black. After a few minutes of use it will get red horizantal lines. Is there any way to fix this or did they send me a defective product? PLEASE help me! I can not stand not having MY phone and using an old phone we had laying around until finally getting the replacement screen!!

Ok, I'm a touch pro owner but i recently came across an AT&T Tilt with a busted lcd screen for 20 dollars. I'm planning on ordering an LCD screen for it and putting it in. I figure if i screw it up, i'm only out 50 dollars and it'll be a learning experience. . Problem is I can't get the phone to work with My Mobiler. The phone seems like it is in working order besides the LCD screen being cracked. Screen comes on, buttons light up, i can hear the phone boot up and it will ACTIVESYNC. Anything way i can view the screen for thing or can someone tell me why My Mobiler won't work with it? Works fine on the Touch Pro.
Well i guess it doesn't matter now.. I've already disassembled the phone and removed the old LCD and ordered a new one. Was a pita taking this thing apart... I HOPE i can put it back together. heh.
Last night, using my nexus one, I sent a text and put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out 10 mins later, my screen was broken. The screen is not cracked in any way. The top of the screen was filled with yellow pixellines, the bottom was black. As the evening proceeded i kept it in my pocket, it still received text messages and this morning my alarm went off, so it's just the screen. As i checked on it, the scheme on the screen changed. purple colors in the bottom corners, totally black, a light pinkish layer across the entire screen...
I was wondering if this would fall under the warranty and if anyone has had a similar problem.
If it were mine, I would certainly be trying to get it fixed under warranty.
OUCH! Post how it turns out please. Good luck.

and does anyone have any experience with sending the telephone in from abroad? like... europe
So my Screen broke and I bought a new one so I could replace it, the touch screen/digitizer didn't break though... at first the colors just started washing and fading untill the screen ended up completely dark, I could still use the touch screen and feel when I would unlock it, after a day the phone would not give me any feed back by vibrating or turning the orange light while charging, so I dismantled it using some tips from these videos:

After I put everything back together the phone is giving me feedback again and I can notice its charging because of the orange light, but the screen won't turn on. Does any one know if I might need to do something on the software side? like needing to re install anything? or do you think I just got a bad screen?
Update: I just took it apart again and reconnected the ribbons, its back together and the screen still won't turn on.
You have the AMOLED screen and not the LCD?
Did you compare the #'s on the old and new to see you got the right part?
Cables are the same, they look the same, part # and stickers are different...
What are the part numbers on your new and old screen? I just went through the same thing, but I'm fairly sure I got the wrong screen replacement. Will have to look more into it later tonight.
My screen wont turn on at all. I was so excited to get my N1 back in action as well.
well like 1 week ago i dropped my samsung galaxy s and my screen cracked up pretty bad, so i went to a phone repair shop yesterday and had my screen replaced
i was using it today and then colours began messing up and i began to see red, blue and green beside every icon or detail on my screen then after about 2 hours the screen wouldnt light up, i can unlock it and use it fine, so the touch works fine but well with a black screen.
so is this a problem with the replacement of the screen or can it be fixed by myself because the repair shop is really far away from my house so i cant go there oftenly.
Hello,
I know a lot of us are having problems with displays and digitizers and im wondering if anyone else has this problem. Yesterday i replced my screen because it had a dead zone. I booted up the phone and everything worked great until i locked the screen. When i pressed the power button to unlock it there was just a black screen with lots of white lines forming. Without fail the phone will do this. I restart and its fine but when i lock it, it gets screwy. I really need to get this working since i dont even have a backup phone right now. By the way the display is not oem its a knockoff.
Since you change your LCD....it might be a different panel from your original. Check your kernel or flash the kernel again.

Same thing happen to me about a month ago during my G2 screen repair. I bought mine on ebay from a seller that had sold hundreds of them, figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunatly I never figuered out why it was failing and just ended up returning it for a refund. The second screen I bought was from etradesupply and it worked perfectly. Hopefully someone has a fix for this weird issue.
I had that exct thing happen to me, well rainbow colored lines. I shattered the screen on a corner drop. I took it to Gopher Mods, they replaced the screen and within a few minutes it happened. They replaced it 2 more times and eventually the last time the screen popped out a little bit since they did not add enough glue/sticky tape inside and the lines dissapeared. They also gave me a full refund, with which I got another G2. So two working phones now lol.
Basically the screen might be pressed in too tightly causing the cable inside to be kinked too much. Its very easy to damage the video cable in this phone mind you.

Try installi mg dorimanx's kernel which detects your panel type of search the thread for a kernel swap flashable. Your new panel may be of a different type causing the white lines.
