[Q] My screen is somewhat scratched...

So if I wanted to replace it, would i replace the LCD screen itself or the digitizer? Not sure as the photos of where I can buy both of these items do not make it very clear which part I need.

MOST phones are just the glass itself. LCD Digitizer is the LCD display this is like this

but many phones the digitizer is attached to the glass(My Galaxy S 4g) I would just recommend going to your local flea market and look for a phone guy. They're the cheapest.

Depends how much it´s scratched, but general is just the digitizer.

That's what I thought. The LCD screen is a tad recessed for it to be the top of the screen... now i know for future reference

Wow you hardly broke it :$

Are you sure it's not the shatter-resistant film that's scratched? It can be removed, and the screen won't scratch as easily (just try not to drop the phone if you do)

That would be it, the only thing i ever removed from my screen was the thing plastic protector that all devices have on their screens now.. Thanks!

HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!
Ur poor phone...when i see it i thing it is better buy a new one or insurance...

Hiding scratches/chips in the bezel

Back in the days of the iPhone 5 (I didn't have one, it's just for reference) many people complained about the black one scratching and chipping easily, and silver metal being visible underneath, there was a fix discovered. "Birchwood Casey Super Black Touch Up Pen". Since I chipped the bezel on my 360, you think this would work? If so, which pen would it be? Flat, Gloss, or Matt, I doubt it would be Matt. I'll leave pictures of the damage to my watch below.

I tripped and it hit the ground before my hand. I tried marker too, it came out almost a purpley colour. Gonna order that marker soon, hopefully it'll work.

Deleted.

Reaplaced screen, now its turning white.

Hey, so i replaced my screen the other day and it worked fine until today when it suddenly started turning white. When i turn the screen on my it looks completely fine, after about 5 seconds a white shadow starts to appear in the background and slowly starts to make certain parts of my screen white. I opened the phone again and looked at all the cables to see if something was loose, but did not see anything wrong. Do any of you know what could be wrong?

Before you replace the screen the phone was normal? It can be LCD itself, someone with more accurate knowledge can help you with this. Better luck!

Yeah, well the screen was shattered but not white. I put on a screen protector and maybe pressed to hard... :/? and suddenly there was some white lines that got worse and worse kind of similar to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI64Bcf8OiE

Is this backlight bleed, and can it be fixed?

Hi everyone,
The blue streaks have actually been there a few weeks now, but the red one just appeared. Can something like this be fixed; aside from lcd replacement?
Thank you

Okay perhaps not backlight bleed, more like stuck pixels. I've run the various stuck pixel tools for a couple days now, to no avail. Guess I just have to put up with it. Cheapest replacement lcd I've found is $40.

Has no one else experienced this with their Nexus 7?

Nope, looks like a damaged lcd. I expect there has been pressure applied to it or something. My best bet is that you cannot fit this with any software.

Yeah that appears to be the case. Well it's def out of warranty, guess I'll just nurse it along till the Nexus 7 2016 (assuming it actually is) comes out.

Question What does the Pixel 6 Pro screen look like under UV?...

Because no one asked....Well it looks like this. Wonder what's the tech behind this screen. Maybe that whole section is more "translucent"?.

That whole section is where adhesive doesn't reach hence the hollow sound it's edge glued display

Yeahhh, iv heard that hallowish sound sometimes when I tap, like there's nothing under it lol, yeah it's just the adhesive going around it, cool though

That's perfectly normal my s8,s9,note10plus,note20 ultra,s21ultra all was the same when installing Whitestone dome glass under uv light

Reinforces that adhesive bezel whereabouts.

Looked like that on my 2XL when I was doing Whitestone as well. I assume it's the LOCA/adhesive they use to adhere the display/digitizer to the glass etc.
