My screen on my Galaxy S7 active decided to stop working. The phone was not dropped and always had a tempered glass screen protector on it. Phone was never exposed to water or any other harmful environment. I was justing texting on the phone one day and the screen started to get these multicolored lines across the screen (vertical). I then restarted the phone and now the whole entire screen is covered by these lines. I have a link to a video showing the problem I am having. I am thinking it may be a loose screen connection inside the device? Any tips on how to diagnose this issue would be greatly appreciated.

the blocked off static has me concerned it may be the lcd ive seen just the static part and applying pressure to the back of the phone where the lcd connects to the board
your best bet is to take it to a samsung repair center

Hi all
I have had my Galaxy Nexus for near to 5 months now and it appears to have developed an unusual fault on the screen. I have been contemplating taking in in for repair/replacement for a while now after the screen has a single dead pixel, but a few days ago I noticed that I have what appears to be two blisters or bubbles in the screen just below the top surface. I don't have a screen protector so I'm not being dim.
I have cleaned the screen several times with the usual screen cleaning products as well as car polish and a tiny bit of T-Cut, all of which have made no difference at all. I am also certain that it is not a scratch or other mark as when the screen gets greasy you can clearly see the smudges across the mark which wouldn't happen if it was a scratch or the like.
I have attached a few photos of the mark, which I have circled to identify. Thanks for reading this I would like to know if anyone else has encountered this sort of issue before or whether this is a case of me being pedantic. My concern is that i don't want to send the phone in for repair/replacement for a few weeks to a month without me being certain that it will get fixed and the whole ordeal to be for nothing.
Again many thank in advance for your help and advice.

I had my note 4 screen assembly replaced after I dropped it. However, the screen is no longer completely secured in the phone. The screen pushes into the frame if I place pressure on the screen and I can get my finger under the edge of the assembly on the top left corner. The home button is also loose, but gets tight like it should be if I hold the screen down. This is an annoying issue and I've recently noticed that dust is getting inside the phone, which I'm worried will cause hardware damage. The front camera is already blurry and cloudy from dust getting inside. If I take the screen off and apply new adhesive, will the screen sit in the frame like it should or is it impossible to restore the feel on a phone with a screen replacement to what it was like from the factory? I hope you hear from you guys, and thanks in advance.
I would take it to a local Sprint service and repair location (or where ever you got your screen replacement). They should be able to reseat your screen in the housing and clean your camera right up. In terms of applying new adhesive, you shouldn't really need to. The 15 some odd screws on the back should take care of it. Source: I'm a S&R Technician
Thanks for the help! My problem is that I'm hesitant to return to the shop where I got the screen replaced, because when they originally replaced it I was unsatisfied with how it fit so I went back and had them do some more work. It was alright at first, but it began to get steadily worse in a fairly short amount of time. So I'm a little cautious of going back there to ask them to do more work. If I asked them to reseat the screen assembly, do you think it would help? Also, is it possible to return to an almost-factory feel with a replaced screen or do I need to accept that the assembly will never be quite as tight as it originally was?
Similar issue
I had a similar issue and I took it back to sprint which they fixed regardless of my device being rooted.
Did you have the screen replaced before you took it to sprint, or was the screen loose from the factory?
you can find the replace guide at ifixit, I don't leave the link,you can google it.
If you want to buy original LCD screen ,you can go to the HCQS.
Alright guys, I need help. I purchased my device right at the launch day. After a month, I accidentally dropped it badly, and even after it had tempered glass at the time (didn't have bumper) the screen got cracked along with tampered glass. Device was new at the time and I didn't want to spend another 100 bucks for display. And it wasn't that much badly damaged either, so I could live with it.
Fast forwarding to this date, after 2-3 months, the device was lying on the bed. A minute before it was working completely fine, but now it's display is dead! It was just lying there and there was no damage done whatsoever.
LEDs, charging, everything works just as fine, but the display shows some random greenish strips at random places when I press power key to turn it on.
Now, earlier accident was not covered under warranty, but this is definitely not my fault. If I take it to care center, how can I convince them that the screen did not die because of accident and that the accident was 2 months before.
Kind regards
try to heat down and the bottom of the screen. sometimes helps for amoled display if there isn't any visual damage to actual screen under glass.

Like I said, there are 2-3 cracks on screen as well when it was dropped earlier.
i have tab s4 t835.
accidentally tab slipped from hand and hit floor from about 2 or 2.5 feet height. nothing happens but there is grey whitish blurred area created on glass shown on picture attached. s pen ..touch image all working good on it.. as screen turn ON this greyish area almost non visible.
can someone help me what is this and how i remove this from screen or glass..?
This looks like you damaged the lcd screen when you dropped it. I don't think it is anything you can "remove" short of replacing the screen. Which, for Samsung, is usually pricy.
but the screen works good at that portion even s pen works fine..
That doesn't mean that liquid crystal matrix under the glass isn't damaged. The display has multiple layers, and you can damage one without breaking the others. The problem with Samsung is that they laminate the layers in such a way that you really have to replace the entire front assembly to fix a broken screen. This looks like a damaged lcd to me. There is probably a screen repair shop near you that could evaluate it.
u r right ... i must get it check from repair shop or samsung and see what tthey say... but im also thinking now i will use it as it is as it didnt cause any hinderance to me
That's the thing about damaged screens. You usually can still use them fine. With Samsung, I'm guessing the repair will be in the $300 rang. Which is 50% of a new device. And probably 100% of the current eBay identicle unit replacement cost. It is crazy how quickly the value drops out of these tablets. After two years and the emergence of the Tab S3 and Tab S4, trade-in eBay sale value for my Tab S2 dropped from $650 to $120.
Let me know if the techs that look at your tab agree with me. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a beer next time you're in Lubbock.

yep,
Looks like damage to one of the inner layers in the screen sandwich. Fortunately along the edge and not in the middle of the screen. It could just be 2 layers pulled apart because of the hit, but I don't know of any way to repair aside from a complete screen replacement.
Does that part of the screen still light up, or are there dead pixels?

Hi,
Unfortunately for me i dropped my phone and cracked my tempered glass in several places. gladly the screen underneath was perfectly fine after drop however, it has developed a fault as the screen won't turn on at all. I tried turning it off and restarting and although i can hear the boot up logo sound i see no picture at all. i can receive calls but cannot answer due to screen not displaying.
The screen had four main pressure cracks.... one is top left, one on the ear speaker, one bottom middle and one bottom left of phone. hopefully you can see it in picture.
Can you give advice on what to try or do to resolve this? will i need a new screen or disassemble to see what the issue is?
I've only had the phone for 2/3 months at most
Thanks in advance
looks like i will answer my own question....
i bought a replacement lcd & digitiser, one complete unit and swapped the necessary components over to new screen. all is working and good. not sure if the screen is repairable but there are other parts inside this screen worth selling on. it still has a non cracked immaculate screen along with the charging port and other stuff inside old screen.
at a cost of £70, i consider this an expensive fix
Thanks for the input kakawak
cheers
