I just bought a new 8125 a couple months ago and I dropped it and now the LCD screen is not working properly, there is a small crack on it and it is red when u turn it on. However if the phone is off you can't see it at all. I want to attempt to brick my phone so it doesnt turn on so i can try to exchange it via warranty. What can I do to accomplish this?
Thanks

Why can't you just return it for repair because of the LCD? If you are still under warranty it should be covered without bricking your device.
i dont think the warranty covers accidental damages well cingular's warranty anyway. i think they say if u drop your phone and it breaks then its not covered.
This thread is now closed - the forum is not here to brick phones but develop them!
Hello guys I was wandering any of you can help me with a problem.

Sounds like you are going into emg mode e.g. vol up and power.
If the phone is off and you plug it into your computer do you get the charging screen?
Follow-Up Needed from Original Poster
My nephew owns an LG THRILL 3D P925 from AT&T. He dropped it and broke the digitizer resulting in huge spider cracks. So, for his birthday I decided to be a great uncle purchase a digitizer online.
I received a P920 replacement digitizer. I was told this would be compatible with the phone by the company I purchased it from.
Everthing went really well with the digitizer replacement as the process was pretty easy. However, when I attempt to power on the phone, I get a vibration with zero activity from the LCD.
At first I thought that I somehow ripped the LCD cable or the digitizer cable; however, after close inspection, I do not see any flaws in either cables or their respective connection points.
I too feel like the phone is stuck in download mode. I wish I knew if the original poster has resolved their issue, and I would not mind continuing the discovery process on how to fully troubleshoot this with you John if you would oblidge. I did not think it would be beneficial for me to start a new thread considering I am experiencing the exact same issue as the OP.
Thanks in advance for any assistance from Anyone!
Bump..
Should I just start my own post?

I work in a computer store where we replace lots and lots of screens and digitizers....it is not unheard of to get a bad one......I have seen at least three this year.....
For the past 2 weeks there is a big line of my screen at the bottom of my screen that is completely unresponsive. For example, I use the android revolution sense 3.0 ROM by mike1996, and I can barely unlock the phone because the ring is exactly in that spot, although it works after many tries. Typing is a pain in the a** unless in landscape. Anyone had this problem or a solution on how to fix it?

Thank you!
After replacing the digitizer, even though it was very complicated, my touch screen works like a charm! Let's hope it remains that way.
If anyone has this problem, replace the digitizer.

you are welcome,
now all we have to do is try not to drop it on the floor
Thanks a bunch, i'm having the same problem.
I'll sure replace the digitizer and try to fix it... it's good to know that there's more people having the same problem!!
I have two Nexus One, of of them with a broken power button.
I already bought two flexes from eBay, but none of them worked in either phone.
Is there a catch or they're just bad?
Can somebody tell me if there's any other trusted place from where I can get a flex?
Sorry for that .. i have two Nexus One phones too and i fix the power button by this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY3us4w9GL8
Thank you fancyfree.
I know how to do it, the only problem is that the two flexes that I got didn't work.
The flex from the phone that's working, works perfectly in both phones, that's why I'm saying that the replacement flexes that I got are faulty.
Hi!
I got an Xperia Z, working perfect until one night when I put it next to a TV on a counter.
Let it stay there for about 1 hour when I tried to sleep, got up again and walked over to get my phone.
Turned on the screen and tried to unlock it, but nothing at all happened. The screen wont recognize any of my touches.
Anyone have any idea at all what could've happened? Seriously, I just let it lay on the counter, no one touched it or even got close to it, but it stille broke.
Restarting the phone wont work, and that's about all I can do. I've tried letting the battery drain out several times since it happened, but no progress what so ever.
This happened about a year ago, and now I've decided to send it to a repair company and see what they can do. But before that, hit me with ideas!
Thanks in advance

It makes sense - if your digitizer is broken then you can't do anything and your screen won't recognize any your touches.
If you can't see any crack then there might be a software problem.
You have to send your phone to repair company if your digitizer/LCD is cracked nevertheless and there's nothing we can do or suggest

No cracks at all, just one small on the glass on the backside, but that's been there for like one year longer then the broken digitizer.
Got any ideas how this could've happened then? Just laying completely still, no special warmth nor coldness, no liquid touching it or anything. It just stopped working.
Might be one of natures greatest mysteriums

Have you tried to reinstall the ROM then?
I don't have any clue about that why this could've happen

No, I have not. This would be the absolutely the last exit, since I have important data on the device.
Anyway, i left it to a guy who'd change the display for me, getting it tomorrow again.
Thanks for the responds tho!
