[Q] Part of the screen can't be touched. Solutions? - Defy General

So here's the deal.
One day, I dropped my defy "accidentally" inside a water closet. I put it up high in the shelves and suddenly it drops down to the closet.
now the left part of the screen is unable to be touched anymore. as could be seen in the screenshot below. the green areas are the ones that are broken

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
as this is a surely hardware problem, are there any other solutions than:
a. buy a new LCD screen (hard to find)
b. buy a new phone
thanks for the help guys

bump..........

Sorry
Since it is a hardware problem, I can't think of any other solution besides purchasing another LCD/phone. I'm sorry.
That said, I have put my defy underwater many times. The touch screen stop working when wet, but I had no issues with it once it dried. Maybe the problem was from the impact?

[Q] Bad reception

My phone got really hot and shut off one day for about 12 hours. It finally came on and was hot again. Ever since then my phone will not get any bars and usually it is roaming in non-roaming areas.
I have took it back into bluegrass cellular and they shipped it off to htc for warranty. Got it back and when i went in, they told me it was water damaged and will not cover it.
It has never been in water. I took it apart and it was not water damaged. So I have it apart and it does not appear to be water damaged. So I tried cleaning the contacts and it is still doing the same thing. I tried extending the connectors to the antenna. But that did not fix it.
So my questions are:
1. Is there anyway to fight HTC in saying its not water damaged.
2. Is there anyway to fix this? any ideas?

[Q] Screen colors messed up (Ribbon?)

Hello Desire Z community.
I have met following issues with a Desire Z, and with a little bit of searching it appears that the ribbon might be broken inside the phone (The pictures are enormous):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, after opening the phone and taking a look at the ribbon, it *seems* to be fine. There is no clear tearing in the ribbon, and it seems like it is OK overall. Can someone of you confirm whether this issue is caused by the ribbon, or by some other variable (screen, bad connectors maybe)?
The screen is distorted, and opening the keyboard "changes" the distortion. Also touching the ribbon while keeping the keyboard half-opened modifies the distortion.
This is my dad's phone, and he rather uses the phone in this condition than his Galaxy S4 :highfive:

screen flickering and week wifi sensor

So I had my lg g3 started flickering suddenly, I didn't know what to do. this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9SqLlDOU1E
After a little research I found this solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y12XCmAYTbw
I tried it and it worked fine for now(a week passed).
but since i have done the paper thing, my wifi signal is very low, even when my router I very close to me.
Any knows how to fix it? maybe change the placment of the paper?
Thanks.
Put a piece of folded paper between processor and body. Make sure paper push the processor and the size of folded paper nearly same as processor, so pressure on full processor not only at one point and put a small piece of folded paper on camera connector. May be it will solve your problem. Good Luck [emoji106]

tablet isn't starting anymore

I have a Note 2014 without a customer rom. It did run fine without problems. Suddenly I had a pink background color out of nowhere. Then I tried to restart. I can see the first Samsung text during start and then it becomes black. I can repeat this but apart from Samsung starting text nothing happens...
after a while it started but the colors are still strange... what can this be?

Hi there,
Don't worry. I am almost sure this is the ribbon of the LCD that moved. It is a common issue with this tablet. Mine was "broken" 3 weeks ago after 4 years of usage. The fix is freaking simple. It took me literally less than 10 minutes. Take the back off, and plug the LCD ribbon back in its connector and put some tape on it so it stays firmly in place. You have plenty of post on the internet showing how to fix in detail. I had no issue since then.
Cheers
Laurent

Earpiece

Hello,
I don't know if it was always like that or if I already got dirt into my earpiece.
To me it looks like the right two thirds of the grid of the earpiece are blocked (filled with something, maybe dirt). I will try to upload am image tomorrow.
Is it the same for you? I tried to get out or with a vacuum cleaner but it didn't change.
You can see what I mean on this picture

lol, never paid Attention to it. But you are right, I have EXACTLY the same right two thirds of the grid "blocked" .. Seems to be standard? Haven't found any issues with it so far..
That's as intended, the right two thirds are just cosmetic to make it look symmetrical, the speaker hole is only in the left third.
Hi there, I have too "dirt into my earpiece". Is it so on purpose or not?
Me too
I contacted my seller and he say me "it's normal". It´s no dirt but some like protective foil against dirt / dust.
