hi, my phone got into water. i had it dried on hair dryer, rice and silica gel for several days. when i try to turn it on, it vibrates but the screen is black. if i charge it, the only thing that shows is the percentage but remains unresponsive. which part of the screen should i change? thank you
Sir, Last evening Im using FB app and suddenly within a minute my phone screen turns black and everything inside working but black screen remains the same. From last 1.5 years, I didn’t let my mobile fall from hand. Need your assist and advice.
I have a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1045). It’s screen started to come off due to swollen a battery. I followed YouTube videos to use a hair dryer to carefully remove the screen and fix the battery issue. When I reinstalled the screen the lights on the side come on but the screen is black with a small gray area on the left bottom side of the display. Phone turns on and receives calls and appears to be working properly but does not show anything on the screen. I don’t know if I too much heat while trying to remove the screen.
Could it be a problem with the screen, flat cable or main board? Is there anything I could do to test if the LCD has gone bad or entire screen with digitizer has to be replaced?
Thank you. The battery issue is resolved but my Nokia 6.1 display is not working. It has a black screen with a small gray area. I replaced the display with a new one but I still have a black screen (no gray area). My phone turns on and appears to work fine other than no display. The touch screen is also working. Can this be a problem with the main board of the phone or a loose connection?

Hello Santosh, I was using my phone and charging my xiaomi 9T when all of a sudden the screen died! I can still hear the sound of charging and my daily alarm. Touch screen seem fine also when i try to swap away the alarm. No display on screen despite multiple restart/reboot. What could possibly be wrong with the phone?
Did the Phone Fall anytime? There could be 2 Reasons: 1) The connector of the Display is Lose in the Main PCB of the Phone. Remember that the Display and Touchscreen and two different things. The Touchscreen has different Connector to the Main Board. (2) The Display has gone Faulty and needs Replacement.

Get the Phone checked and see if the Display Connector is Fixed Properly. If it is Properly Fixed and the Problem is Still there then maybe you have to Replace the Display.
Your Touchscreen is OK. The Display is Gone Faulty. Replace with Combo Set. Also Install a Protective Gorilla Glass of the Duplicate Combo for Safety as they are very delicate.
You mean you Replaced the Old Display with New One and it is still not working. If yes, then there is serious problem with the Board. It is better to get Rid of such a Phone and Buy a New One.

Don’t switch ON the Phone it Shorting May Happen. Disassemble the Phone Completely and Clean with Tinner or IPA Properly. Assemble Back and Check. If the Problem is NOT Solved then Disassemble again and Apply Liquid Flux All Over and Board and Give Heat. Assemble Back and Check. If the Problem is still NOT Solved then the Phone is Short. It must be Checked Properly by some Experienced Technician if you have No Experience.

However, if the digitizer or LCD is also damaged during a fall, that screen no longer carries value because it cannot be refurbished. Repair shops cannot sell broken LCDs to refurbishing companies; therefore, they cannot offset the cost of an LCD repair. That is why repair stores often charge a little extra if there is damage to the LCD or digitizer, to make up for that loss. Repair stores that don’t have an additional charge for an LCD repair typically inflate their glass repair price to make up for the loss from damaged LCDs. If they have one price, that means everyone is paying more to cover the cost of customers who have damaged LCDs and customers who only have cracked glass. This is why TCR separates the price of glass and LCD repairs for you! If you only have cracked glass, you only have to worry about paying to replace the cracked glass.
If your phone or tablet’s glass is shattered there will be cracks or chips on the screen itself. If it is just the glass that is damaged, the device may still function and you may be able to use it normally. If this is the case, it is likely that only the glass needs to be replaced. To prevent further damage to your device it is best to get it repaired quickly. For example, if liquids seep through the cracks it could cause permanent damage to the LCD.
Many people may continue to use their touchscreen with shattered glass and delay fixing the glass on their devices; however, if the touchscreen isn’t responsive, it could be a sign of more significant damage to the device’s digitizer which is integrated with the LCD screen.
A pixelated screen can indicate LCD damage. This would look like a patch of multicolored dots, a line or lines of discoloration, or a screen with rainbow colors. For many people, these colors are an easy way to know that their LCD is broken and that they should get it repaired.
Dropping your phone isn’t the only reason you’ll end up with a pixelated screen. Over time, your screen’s LCD may break down through regular use. This happens to other devices aside from your smartphone or tablet. Pixelation can happen to TVs and computers, too. People typically decide to buy a new device when this happens. Fortunately, with an LCD repair, you can fix the device without needing to replace it.
A black screen or black spots on your smartphone or tablet is an indication of a damaged LCD. Often with a bad LCD, a phone may still turn on and make noises, but there is no clear picture. This does not necessarily mean any other part of the phone is damaged and a simple screen replacement will get it functioning again. Sometimes it can mean a battery or other internal component is damaged. It is best to have a highly qualified phone repair technician diagnose what is wrong so the appropriate repair can be made.
Fortunately, your mobile device is fixable whether you cracked the glass or damaged the LCD. Stop by or call TCR: Triangle Cellular Repair at (919) 263-2699 for a free diagnostic and quick, affordable cell phone repair in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. We’re always happy to help!
The first thing you need to do when your LCD screen gets broken is to check your phone insurance. You’ll need to know whether it covers your cracked screens and the specific conditions that surround them. Doing this helps you make the most out of the money you paid for your phone insurance.
If the insurance covers the LCD screen, arranging for a repair will be straightforward. In a lot of situations, your main issue will involve going about your day without a phone. You can expect it to return within a few days.
Take note, you might still need to pay for the excess charges. The only time problems start is when you can’t get any replacement when your screen breaks. In that case, you’ll need to do the repairs on your own.
A good option while putting your cracked phone to the repair shop is to use an old phone. If you still have your old phone stashed away somewhere, it might be your best bet for now. Look at your drawers and check whether your old phones are still functional.
If your old phones aren’t there anymore, you still have friends and relatives. Ask them if they have gadgets they’re willing to lend. That way, you’ll have something to use while you decide what method to use to repair your cracked LCD screen.
In 2017 alone, around 5 million smartphone owners in the United States broke their phone screens. That shows how likely it is for you to break yours too. Accidents can happen even when people are careful.
It can get difficult, especially when the screen itself cracks instead of the glass cover. Repairing your screen will need you to take it apart using these steps:
Remove your battery cover as well as the battery and all the cards from the device. Once done, you can now unscrew the back of the device as well as remove the screws around the LCD. The screw types will depend on your phone brand and model, but the most common ones include T4, T6, or #00 Phillips screws.
Most devices have a cable that runs from the LCD to the control board. Disconnect the cable by lifting up on the connector. You also need to do the same on the cable that runs from the glass to the control board.
Try using a pry stick to remove the LCD from its own housing. Some devices might require you to remove the glass off first. If so, you need to use a heat gun on the glass for about half a minute to make the adhesive loose enough.
It’s important to remember that some devices like the iPhone combine the glass and the LCD together. That’s why it’s important to look at your replacement LCD and see if it also has the glass with it. If they’re connected, there’s no more need to pry them apart.
Put the replacement LCD in the housing of the cracked one. Once you’re finished, you can now reassemble the device. It’s easy as long as you reverse the steps you took when taking it apart.
There is always the option to send your phone to its manufacturer for the repair. But if you don’t want to pay a lot, you should try a local repair shop. The great thing is that it only takes a short Google search to find the ones near your area.
It’s always important to check the customer reviews before you commit your phone to an expert. Not all repair shops are the same. But if you find a skilled technician, you can rest easy since they can repair your screen fast.
In some scenarios, your phone will sustain irreparable damage alongside its LCD screens. You might think that it’s already worthless and hopeless. But the truth is that there are some websites out there that will pay for your broken device.
A good example is the shopping platform eBay. Some people buy broken phones since they want to salvage other parts to repair their own phone. It won’t net you a lot of money, but you can at least save some money when you need to buy new phones.
Some will also give you credit if you’re buying a used phone. Keep in mind that you might get a better deal if you take that instead of getting cash. But it’s only good if you’re buying a used device.
You have a lot of options if your phone’s LCD screen gets broken. No matter what you choose for your LCD phone screen repair, keep in mind that these options are always available for you. Look for the best option and commit to it as soon as you can.

OK, I have been reading these comments and while there are some that are correct, there are few or more that are way out there. Guys, as a electronics tech, I have fixed many phones such as this in my time. Yes the cheap screens will fix it most of the time, but there are times when this is not the case. There is no easy fix for this.
First you have to diagnose the problem and the cause and then fix it. Sometimes its as simple as restarting the phone and sometimes the problem is hardware of the phone.
1) Check if the screen responds to any touch at all. If it does work but you get “ghost touch”, problem is likely going to be fixed without replacing the screen. Usually one of the connectors are dirty or not plugged in correctly. Easier fix is to open the iphone, lift the screen from the rest of the case/motherboard and unplug the lcd and other connectors that run from the screen to the board. You could use 99% alcohol and a tooth brush. Scrub the connectors gently and wait a few seconds for the alcohol to evaporate before plugging the connectors in. Usually this will fix the trouble and you will have a perfectly working phone without replacing any parts. IMPORTANT: Do not use 50% or 75% alcohol or acetone. Low grade alcohol is 50% water (and we know what water does to the phones)and the acetone can short out the motherboard or melt the certain parts that are important.
2) If only lower or upper or left or right side of the screen work, chances are very high that you need to replace the screen. You can try the solution above, but it will rarely work.
3) If you had a cracked screen and replaced it with the new one and now touch is not working, chances are that you either did not assemble it correctly or the screen is bad. If your old screen was responding to the touch and the new one doesnt, simply try to install the old one again and see if it still responds to the touch. If it does then the new screen is defective and you should return it. If it doesnt then try the first solution again to see if this will help.
4) Everything is installed correctly but the phone still doesnt work. This can be a bigger issue with the board. There is a tiny little IC(chip) on the phone that controls the touch. There are also few tiny little resistors and capacitors that are connected to the same part of the system. If one of these are bad then your phone is pretty much done. Yes they can be replaced, however finding the person with the skill and equipment to do this it likely near 0. most of the resistors and capacitors are covered with the ceramic coating that is nearly impossible to remove, but it can be done. The best thing technician could do in this case it to reheat the motherboard. This likely will not fix the problem permanently but you may get few extra days, weeks or months before its done for good.
The iphone uses BGA type of chips for all of their phones. These are “ball grid array” chips and they have these tiny little ball of solder that connect to the board. Some may have 10 and some chips have 50-60 or more of them. You can not see them like you would on a SM chip(surface mount). While you are using the phone they have electricity running through them . This makes them heat up and cool down constantly. Problem that occurs is called “Cold solder”. Over the time because of it heating and cooling the solder become brittle and it cracks. Once it cracks it will start to cause problems. This is why sometimes if you press the phone in certain spot it actually starts to work. Well, you are forcing the chip to connect to the board by pressing it in, but once you let go it stops. This sometimes can be fixed by reheating the chip, or to use technical term, “re-flowing”. sometimes it needs so little that the heat may just connect the broken link and it will be fine. Temperature you use to reheat it very important. If you take it to the shop and you see them using one of those industrial heat guns used to strip the paint from home depot, you will probably need a new phone. Temperature is important, but the force of the air flow just as important.
I know most people wont read this whole thing, but there is some useful information I wrote here and everything I wrote applies to almost any phone on market today. All of the phones are basically the same. They all have the same parts, only difference if what those parts are going to look like and their location o the phone, but they all need to have the CPU’s, memory chips, power management chips, lcd or touch controller chips and so on.
Is your phone"s screen behaving oddly? Have you noticed your iPhone or Android phone"s display glitching? It could be doing so for several reasons. From loose internal connections to buggy software, many issues can cause a smartphone screen to flicker.
The first thing to do when trying to fix a glitching phone screen is to restart your phone to ensure that this isn"t a temporary issue. Performing a restart kills any active third-party background services and processes that could be causing the display problem.
Restarting will also refresh your phone"s memory components if any of them crashed during a task. After rebooting, if the display is no longer flickering or glitching, you should review all the recent apps you"ve installed. If the problem comes back, try the next tip on this list.
Rebooting is the most basic troubleshooting step you can execute, and it does the trick for most problems. However, if it doesn"t fix your flickering display, consider wiping your phone entirely by performing a hard reset. Doing so will restore your phone to its factory settings and clear the cache.
If there"s any unprocessed data hampering your phone"s functions, a hard reset will clear everything right away. However, before performing a factory reset, don"t forget to back up your Android phone or your iPhone. Note that backing up a Samsung phone is slightly different since you need a Microsoft account to do so.
If your Android screen is still flickering, try switching to Safe Mode for a couple of hours. Safe Mode lets you use your phone without third-party apps and services. Unlike a factory reset, Safe Mode retains your phone"s data, and you can return to the regular experience anytime you want.
However, note that Safe Mode is merely a diagnostic tool and won"t solve the problem. If your phone works fine in Safe Mode, it means the problem is caused by a third-party app, not your phone.
The auto-brightness (Adaptive brightness) setting is responsible for constantly altering the screen"s illumination based on light sensor data. But a software update or hardware defect could lead to unexpected snags, including display flickers. Therefore, another straightforward action you can take is to disable the option from the Settings menu.
Alternatively, there"s also the option to reset the Adaptive brightness, which can come in handy if your phone struggles to adapt to new lighting conditions. To reset your phone brightness:
When rendering graphics, your phone dynamically decides whether the CPU or the GPU will handle the job. While the transition is usually seamless, a damaged or aged phone can struggle with screen compositing (layering images).
There is a minor delay between tasks when the phone doesn"t have anything to display. Hence, the flickering. But disabling hardware overlays can help. To do so, you"ll first need to enable Developer options.
Once in developer mode, head back to your phone settings and scroll to the bottom until you find Developer options. In it, scroll down to find Disable HW overlays and toggle it on. Note that this will consume extra power since disabling overlays forces the phone to use GPU rendering.
Unfortunately, there"s no guarantee that any of these steps will work. Sometimes, a glitching phone screen is due to a hardware failure, and there may be significant costs involved for repair or replacement. That"s why it"s worth giving each one of these tricks a shot first.
That said, your last resort is to get in touch with your device"s manufacturer and have your phone screen checked out by a professional. If none of these techniques worked, you might be facing a more complex issue. In these scenarios, the only option is to send your phone in for repair or replacement.
Since your phone plays such an active role in your life, you need everything to work correctly. Smartphones house many delicate and interconnected components, and the malfunctioning of any one can cause flickering displays.
Don"t worry; a flickering phone screen is usually fixable, assuming it"s a software issue. Even though mobile phones are complex and can be daunting to repair, trying these at-home tricks first can save you a lot of money versus buying a brand-new device.
As an official phone repair provider who has been in the business for almost a decade, one unique question people ask when they visit our service centres to replace their phone screen is: "what"s the difference between original and copy phone screen?"
Well, the answer is, there are many differences between these two screens, which is mostly in their quality. And while “copy” phone screens are somewhat cheaper than the originals, it doesn’t justify the difference in quality. So, before you regret replacing your phone screen with a forbidden part, the tips below will tell you the critical differences between original and copy phone screens.
Generally, phone screens manufactured from your brand"s factory are the original ones while ‘Copy’screens are the ones designed and produced by third-party manufacturers and factories that are not related to your brand.
Many people usually like to go for copy screens because of their cheaper price. However, the "real" differences between original and copy screens lie in their quality, and here’s what you need to know about them.
One of the principal issues with "copied" phone screens and why it differs from the originals is touch and digitizer problems. And that"s a big problem since you"re going to control the device with the touchscreen anyway.
As far as we could remember, phone manufacturers build the touch panel/digitizer with the LCD itself, while the copied screen manufacturer build it separately on the surface glass. Hence, there"s a difference in touch sensitivity. Additionally, copied phone screens usually drop the high touch sampling rate, meaning your screen may not respond to your touches faster.
Here"s also another major issue with the digitizer on copied phone screens. When you crack a copied screen accidentally, the touchscreen stops working, stopping you from accessing the device until you fix it again. Meanwhile, the touch on the original phone screen works perfectly, even after undergoing severe cracking.
Besides having touch problems, most copy phone screens usually have poor display properties. That means you get lower brightness, colour accuracy, sharpness, contrast, etc. And when the display isn"t great, watching movies and viewing other content becomes boring.
For instance, if the original screen is supposed to have 480 nits of brightness, but the copy screen has just 200 nits, the screen becomes unusable under bright lights. Moreso, copied phone screen seems to have more blue light, which, in return, affect your sight and disrupts your sleep at night.
Among others, copied phone screens drop higher refresh rates, and that"s a bummer since most phones come with at least 90Hz refresh rate screens. What that means is the copied screen won’t feel smooth as it’s supposed to be.
It"s not all about the display quality. A copy phone screen may also affect other parts of the phone system if its specifications don"t tally with the original one. In such a case, it could drain your battery at an alarming rate, or at worse, damage your backlight.
If you happen to have a phone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, then replacing its screen with a copied one is not an option – it’s going to mess with your fingerprint accuracy.
We know copied phone screens for their poor quality, and it also extends to the fingerprint sensor. Hence, it takes a longer time to unlock your device. And in other cases, the security of the sensor is not accurate. We"ve seen situations where phones get unlocked with many unregistered fingers after replacing the screen with a copied one.
If you care about your phone"s security and you don"t want a sluggish fingerprint sensor, then we recommend you only go for the original phone screen replacement.
That brings us to the last difference we’re going to mention between copied and original phone screens. They manufacture copied phone screens with poor glass materials. Hence, they break quicker than the originals. And when they do, you’ll be left with only one option: to replace the screen again.
The major reason for choosing the official service centre over third-party/local repair shops summarizes what we"ve said earlier. The official service centre is the reliable place to get original phone screen replacement parts.
Why? As of today, smartphone phone manufacturers/brands release genuine spare parts only to the official service centres and affiliated repair centres. That means third party repair shops get their spare parts somewhere else: usually third-party factories/companies not related to your phones brand.
Besides offering you the original screen spare parts, the official service centres also have other advantages. These include certified and well-experienced technicians to fix the screen, the use of modern tools that won"t damage your phone further, and most importantly, a reliable warranty. Local repair shops usually don"t offer these features; most especially a reliable warranty, which means you"re on your own if the replaced screen gets faulty afterwards.
As far as choosing the official service centre is concerned for genuine screen replacement, then you shouldn"t shy away from Carlcare Service if you own a TECNO, Infinix, or itel phone with a cracked screen.
We"re the official service center for these three brands to cater for your mobile repair needs. And for screen replacement, Carlcare delivers excellently. Our brand-trained technicians replace your cracked screen with genuine OEM parts at affordable rates.

If you did a screen replacement and you feel like the new screen is not as good as the old one, then the above question is what you have running through your mind. Does the mobile screen quality actually degrade or reduce after you replace a broken screen?
The direct answer to this question is NO. A screen replacement does not reduce your display quality, neither does it degrade the screen quality. All replacement screens from the manufacturers are produced with the same quality as the original screens. They are designed to give you the same feel and look as though you were using the original screen.
The only difference between the original screen and the replaced screen is that the former was fitted from the factory, and the latter was hand-fitted by the technician. This means that even with the same quality, a wrong fitting from an unprofessional third-party technician can result in a lesser screen quality for your mobile device.
If however, you do not get a genuine product for the replacement, you can experience a degraded screen quality. If you took your phone to just any random phone repair shop to get the screen replaced, there are chances that you may have a non-genuine display which will give you a poor screen quality.
It is for this reason that you are always advised to only take your phone for repair at accredited after-sales centre where you can get quality spare parts for replacement. Apart from the screen, there are other sensitive parts of the phone that you might want to replace, and it is advisable to always go to outlets where you can get genuine products.
When presented with an option of genuine or copy screens, some people might decide to go for the cheaper option which is often the copy screen. When asked, they could say things like “no one would know the difference”, “it is the same display anyway”.
Well, this is not true at all. The genuine screen was designed by the manufacturer to have the same qualities, feel and design as the original, and to fit the phone perfectly. The copy screen or the non-genuine display could just be some other random unbranded screen in the market designed and manufactured independently by third-party companies, which coincidentally happens to be compatible with your device.
The screen refresh rate is lower:Your genuine screen display has a refresh rate that is designed to fit with the RAM, processor, and storage capacity. With the copy screen, you will find the screen refresh rate to be a lot slower than before.
The screen/glass scratches easily:You will also experience that the copy-screens appear far coarser and scratch easily when compared to the genuine screen. Even a rough fabric or a rough surface can leave some abrasions on the copy-screen. Before long, even the screen display will be a mess for the user.
The Digitiser, 3D touch, and other screen features will not work as well: If you settle for a non-genuine display or a copy screen, do not expect the 3D touch to be as effective as it would have been with the genuine screen.
The screen display will not be as brightas what you get from the genuine phone screen. Also, you can also find that the edges of the screen would be darker. The contrast and vibrancy, when using such screens usually appear “washed out”.
Weak fingerprint recognition:If your phone is the type that has an on-screen fingerprint sensor, the copy-screen may have problems recognizing your fingerprints. In very terrible cases, it may even mismatch fingerprints, thereby reducing phone security.
It can cause other issues due to mismatch:In some cases, copy-screens do not have the same performance specification as the original screen and can drain your battery faster. Some reviews also show that it damages the phone backlight.
There are several other issues you may have to deal with if your phone screen was replaced with a copy-screen. A careful examination of these points will show you that if you get a copy-screen, you will likely need another screen replacement in no time. It is safer and cost-effective to go for a genuine phone screen instead.
Carlcare is the official customer care support for Infinix, TECNO, and itel devices. If you are using any of these brands, you can visit Carlcare to get genuine phone screens for replacement. There is a Carlcare app on Infinix, Tecno, and Itel devices, and you can use it to check the cost of the screen, and the cost of the service.

If you ever notice multi-coloured or single-coloured vertical lines on your laptop screen, it may be a result of a hardware failure or due to damage to the screen. To try fixing it yourself, first unplug your laptop, hold the power button for 30 seconds and restart the laptop. If you continue to see coloured lines, the issue is probably with the LCD screen, which will need to be replaced from the brand’s service center. To be sure about the LCD screen problem, try connecting your laptop to another monitor and see if the issue persists. If it does, the issue is certainly in the LCD panel.
On turning on the laptop when you see the lights blinking and hear the fan working but if the laptop screen is blank and doesn’t display anything, this is again an indication of a faulty motherboard. The first thing to do is to transfer all the data to another drive to make sure your data is safe. Before going ahead and getting the motherboard repaired or replaced, you could try performing a hard reset (also known as a factory reset), which can mostly help in resolving the blank display issue.
Firstly, check if your laptop’s brightness level is set to maximum. If the display is still dim, try restarting the device. This could just be a system error that can be resolved by restarting the device. Also, check if the AC adapter cord is loose and firmly connect it to the outlet and laptop. If the issue still persists, it is mostly due to a failure of the LCD. Behind the LCD, there is an inverter board and backlight bulb which control the picture.
The inverter board converts the low voltage your laptop uses, into higher voltage required by the long bulb that lights up the LCD screen. If the inverter board or bulb fail, you will experience the problem of a dimmed display. Even if one of these two components fail, the screen will need to be replaced, unless the service center can help by just replacing the bulb. We wouldn’t recommend you try resolving it yourself, as this is more complex and you could end up damaging the circuit board and the backlight lamp. So, it’s best to leave this job to an expert.
