It sounds like they are sending you the parts for another phone.
You are right about being cautious with your wife's phone.
Can you call the shop you bought both of the screens from and verify the type of phone that they are sending the part for?
You may have 2 perfectly good screens for a Inc S.
OR, but highly uncommon that your video card has crashed in a way that it could be corrupting every screen that you throw at it.
I don't think there is any way that the screen can be damaged by the phone in a way that is causing BOTH screens to fail.
But just to be safe, I would wait for advice from someone with more experience on the matter..
That or see what the shop says.
When you heated up the unit could you have melted any solder connections around the components?
That should be lead free solder with a higher melting point than regular solder.
Good luck..

Thanks for your response and when I heated it up the logic board was already out of the phone so no heat was applied to it but I will call the shop I didn't think about it being and incredible s screen I wonder if that would make a difference although their website says the screen os for the s and 2 but again thinks for your response

Dirt under screen

I have a huge amount of dirt/dust under my screen in the top left corner. It's starting to get hard to see it, and in the day time I can't see that part of the status bar. I keep in pocket but with the charging port on bottom. I don't know how it keeps getting there, but it does consistently. Does anyone know a way to clean in out? Or somewhere I could get it cleaned? I don't have a contract/warranty. It is an inspire. It seems they are similar and the desire HD forums have a lot more people and develop then the inspire on. Thanks!!!!

I've ran into this problem on my DHD - so, the only easy resolution is to change the screen & sensor glass module (you can buy one on ebay) - or you can find some warranty center - they could repair it for some fee (probably - they will also change the screen & sensor glass module - but rather much expensive (warranty center did changed this module for me)). Also, you can try to disassemble the screen & sensor glass module, but u'll likely destroy the sensor glass or the screen or both the screen and sensor glass - besides, u'll need some special equipment, like industrial heater and so on.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to get an estimate and go from there

Repairing a cracked screen

Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.

Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway

He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.
Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.
Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.

you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....
i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>

Screen not showing image

I've recently ran into an issue where the screen on my dz does not show anything on it. The phone works and responds to touch however it does not show anything on the screen apart from a couple of white lined down the right side. Would this be a screen fault or a connector fault with the ribbon?

It could be either the main flex cable or the LCD, unfortunately there isn't a good way of testing other than replacing pieces to see what cause this. In truth your situation seems to be 50/50 caused by main flex or LCD, but I still am leaning toward replacing the LCD if you don't want to buy both

Cracked Digitizer and LCD Damage

hello everyone,
My friend's OG Pro was drop but can still power on (vibrate upon charging). The device has a 1 inch hairline crack on its touch screen digitizer but the LCD only shows a blank/no picture display when turn on.
I find this weird cause in most cases I notice that OG Pro LCD is pretty much durable even if the digitizer has a small web cracked.
Has anyone here have similar situation as my friend' phone?

The same has happened to me. I have seen people with bigger cracks on their phones while mine looked like a scratch and would not show nothing on the screen. Had it replaced and all is back to good. I guess it depends on where the crack is.

hello ricanares,
Did you try to re-connect if maybe the LCD cable connector was dislodge after the drop of your phone ?
