Fix for regions of display not responding to touch - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So guys ,many of you will at first look at this thread and go ROFL mode.. but the thing is working and i fixed my display not responsive to touch about 1cm wide at middle of the screen, legit dead area, Spen worked fine everywhere tho.
You need a cigarette lighter ,a bit of patience and about 30 seconds of your time to save you min 130 eur on new display.
Take lighter shocker , electric thing in cigarete lighter , and shock your display at the unresponsive area , in all angles and whole width of the are that is problematic. This should work after few shocks, but depends on model, and the strenght of the eletric thing ( i call it shocker) .
Down bellow are pictures of the tool , and problematic part of my display that was fixes by this method.
I dont take responsibility for damaged device, use this method at your own risk.

screen defect?

I just got a tilt about a week ago and ive noticed that in the middle of the screen there seems to be a purple greenish tint when put against incandescent light. The size of said glint varies in size but i'm unable to see what changes the size. Not sure if its heat or pressure or something. The touch screen works perfectly its just really annoying to always see such an annoying glint.
An interesting discovery is that when i press all four corners of the screen it disappears and when i press in the middle of the little square it seems to spread out. I feel like theres some kind of material or something in the touch screen that is causing this due to pressure. I keep it in a hard case in my pocket so the screen isnt pressed on inadvertently.
I've searched the forum for any answers but i havent seen anything about it. Any response or help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to get a picture of it up asap but i left my camera at a friends house and dont know when im getting it back...thanks in advanced

Do you see the same "annoying glint" under neon light (not day / sunlight)?
Lots of NOKIA and SONY ERICSSON phones for example get this screen recolorization under direct sunlight - this has nothing to do with the screen being defective but with the plastic above the screen which breaks the light and shows you this colored spots. If you can't see the same spot under direct neon light then this might be the cause.
It is normal that you get color changes while pressing the screen in. First of, you press / bent the protecting plastic and the liquid within the screen which causes the incoming light to break in a different angle, therefore the color changes. (BTW: you shouldn't do that too often, it can cause permanent stains on your screen!).
There sure is the possibility that your screen gets pressure from underneath due bad assembling! If you're still under warranty, try to get a replacement.
yeah you cant see it in day light. but i feel as though there is constant pressure on the screen between the plastic and liquid since the spot is always there and doesnt really go away (unless of course in daylight).
well im thinking im going to go back for a replacement. thanks for the quick answer!

concave touch screen !

Hi
can anybody tell me how to resolve that problem ??
Unfortunately I had the habbit of keeping my phone in my jeans butt pocket, even when I switched to Diamond touch screened phone I kept doing that, but I realized that the screen got some slight concavity on it that even reflects as irregular pattern of colors seen only when screen switched off or when on but from a sharp viewing angle.
How to correct that ??? any ideas ???
Thanks
Replace the screen.
Change phone carrying habits.
It is a hardware issue, so not easy to fix. Beware that the screen is multi layered (touch screen) so it is possible that any physical shape alterations will seriously change the way it works. It happens that screens go weird when there's dust & debris between screen and the outside body of the phone...
Thanks for your reply
Is it worth it to replace the screen ?? or maybe its better off selling it for less cash then buy another one ?
I have noticed that there is a matrix of visible small dots 2 mm apart from each other, I guess this is the touch-sensing system.
Yeah, the touch-sensitive layer got squished. It should still work fine for now, but over time the touch sensitivity may get worse. The only way to fix it is to get it replaced. If it's still under warranty you should replace it that way, better than selling and buying a completely new Diamond. If not, you can replace it yourself with this: http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03449&dept_id=088&cat_id=0695
Thanks fhsieh for the info and link.
I will replace it when it fails eventually, now I am releaved and I know that I've got a solution

Strange circle/ring in the middle of the screen

Recently, I noticed the is a strange circle in the middle of the screen. When the screen backlight is off, it appears as a black circle. When the screen backlight is on, it appears as red/yellow/black ring. Somtimes it went away by itself, and other time I have to "wipe" it away with finger force.
Anyone know what is wrong?
2 questions
1) Have you tried removing the screen protection just to see whether its on the screen protection or on the main lcd screen
2) did you ever exposed lcd it to high electromagnetic waves??
1. I didn't remove the screen protector as I believe it's beneath the LCD film.
2. I don't think it has been exposed to any electromagnetic waves, as it appears after I pulled it out from my pocket.
I've had it too but it's gone now
I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago. The place I stayed was not well ventilated and I THINK it caused some water condensation to occur between the digitizer and lcd screen. I slept in an air-conditioned room the next day and it was gone!
My deduction is that you need a cool or cold environment for the stain to evaporate.
The same problem arises again, and this time it has been a couple days but it still did not go away.
It looks almost like a burn mark.
You may have a defective digitizer.
Found another thread talking about this:

This is the so-called 'Newton ring' in optics/Physics. It means that in that area, the thickness of LCD is slightly thicker/thinner than rest of the area. This is normally due to stress at that point. It is annoying but if there are no repeated color rings, like red/yellow/blue/red/yellow/blue, it should be fine. If you have alot of repeated color rings, the LCD may approach its life end.

Thanks for the info. When you said it should be fine, do you mean it will disappear, or it just won't affect usability?
It may disappear if the stress is released, e.g., you push the area a bit or you put it into different temperature environment. But I doubt it will disappear for ever. It was not there in the first place then it came. This means some sort of stress/pressure built up there. It should not affect your daily use a lot. It is just a visual effect. But if it gets worse, the colour rings will become very dense and sharp. It will affect you visual. I had a phone pinged on LCD sometime ago. It had similar rings like yours. But it was so dense I could not see any thing behind it. I had to change it for £35.
Also I looked at another previous comment about the humidity. It could give you the same effect. Maybe you can bake your phone a bit?

Speed up the phone through changing the touch screen
Hi guys,
today it is rany sunday. So i changed my ugly scrached touch screen of the Touch Diamond. I bought it for about 10,00 € at ebay. It was coming with tools for screws with Torx. But my phone has only cross slot screws with size "Philips 000". You can buy the glass for about 5,00 € without the tools. I was glad to find this tool in my own box. I used this tutorial: http://erkinson.altervista.org/de/htc-touch-diamondsmontaggio-e-sostituzione-touchdisplay/ It's original language is italian but the google translation was great enough. The brazing for the cable of the touch glass was easilier than i thought. The two connectors from the screen and from zhe key pad i must connect two times. The first try the screen stay blank after switching on. For this two connectors read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657514
Now everything is working fine and it seems that the phone is much faster after the repair. The steering over the screen is much more smoothly and all movements are more exactly.
Is it possible that the scratches on the screen require mor calculating power while the movements with the tip or the finger?
Try it and share some results with me.
Rudi
Add 21.09.11: Now the phone is running well some days. The only thing that is not working anymore is the power consumption out of the battery. The Phone is getting hot and the battery is empty very fast. Also when the phone is switched off (not in standby) the battery is empty after about 3 hours. I disassembled and assembled again but with no new results. I was looking for some fibre of the metallized tapes. But i found nothing. Has someone experiance with that behavier?

nexus 6 screen problems after lcd replacement

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.
