Samsung Galaxy Tab S with strong yellow tint - is it broken? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
Maybe one of you can help me with the yellow screen. Wha is the problem and what exactly is broken? The display has no cracks and the device ist working properly.
When I bend the tablet, the yellow tint disappears... Maybe a connector problem? Does anyone have experience with it?
Please check my video with the problem.
Thx.

I have the same issue ?

I can't tell you for certain, but you are definitely talking hardware error. Your obvious first step is to open it up, check ( remove then re-attach) the display connects , if problem persists then its a display thing. There is no display fix possible, you either get another, or another tab.
I could be wrong but that's my opinion: )

Got the same problem. However when I bend it like you in the videonit gets back yo normal colour screen and it stays like that for some time. Is it possible it's to connection? Have you solved your problem?, THX

Blank screen

I have been using CRC 12.11 for a while. A strange problem started all of a sudden. My screen went white although it is working. Soft reset didn't solve the problem. Hard reset solved the problem for a while and then it came back. I noticed this at the time it happens. While everything is fine, the screen fades out, a few lines like scratches appear and then the screen stays white. I hear system sounds, the phone rings but no display. What has caused this?
I flashed another ROM but when my phone restarted it was still white. I hard reset and now I am waiting. If it reappears, it means it is a hardware problem right?

I had this same weird issue once on my rom, i think it's because of the Big storage bug.. Flashed OEM rom and went away.. only saw it once!
I reflushed several ROMs that I used to have before without problems and still have the same. I can't install OEM, I think it's because of the bootloader version but I don't remember exactly the procedure to correct this and I don't know if it's worth the effort in downgrading to OEM.
Another thing I just noticed is that the screen is not aligned in the center. There is a small gap on top of the screen as if the image has moved downwards. Maybe this is the cause of the problem. Noone had similar issue? I don't believe it has to do with big storage because I have been using it fot a while and this never happened before, not even once.
Any ideas will be apreciated as my only choice right now is to buy a new phone.
same thing
i´ve been looking around and some people say is because the magnet in the pouches, affect in some way to the screen ribbon or something like that.
that is a common problem with the hermes, if u search the forum u'll find a couple of threads like this.
it's a hardware problem, next symptoms will be the green/red buttons and d-pad stoping to work
I know theres a few links in the FAQ about the white screen issue, its fixable in some cases.
problem solved!!!
i just took it apart, one of the ribbons which connect the green and red buttons was kindda folded also the connectors , so i just blow some compress air and tried to unfold the ribbon, put it back together and voila! like new. Just be carefull cause it´s like fragil.
same exact problem word for word
The same exact thing happened to my hermes. I guess I can attempt to put mechanical skills to work and fix this problem.

[Q] LCD stopped working .. Could it be software (root) issue?

Hello XDA ..
My G2 LCD stopped working for no reason .. It started flickering and losing colors two days ago .. and yesterday it went completely black .. I did not drop the phone or damage it anyhow ..
I opened it up and checked all connections and it looked fine .. the LED and digitizer screen work fine as well as the capacitive buttons at the bottom so I figured it is not a connection problem ..
I had Cyanegon on it for like 5 months and never had an issue .. I recently installed Virtious Sense ROM and I have been switching between the two the past week ..
My question is ,, do you think it is a software problem for example the lcd driver got messed ..?? or is it just the lcd was broken somehow
I am intending to buy a new lcd and replace the one I have now but I thought I should make sure that the one I currently have is actually broken before I replace it ..
Thank you,,
Edu
PS: if you can think of an easy way to check the functionality of the LCD let me know ..
Its rather hard for a software (even if it is firmware) to cause problems to an LCD. If you can se the backlight turning on but the screen not showing anything, i suggest you start trying out some unbricking methods.
Now, if the screen doesnt turn on AT ALL, then its possibly a hardware fault. The only way to be sure is to have an extra lcd available to connect to it. You could also try and give your lcd to someone with a Desire Z to try out your lcd on his phone and see what happens.
The "easiest" way though is to get a new one.
is the ribbon cable connecting the screen to keyboard damaged?

Right side of screen partly unresponsive to touch

After I replaced the the whole screen assembly, about 2 cm of the screens right side is almost unresponsive to touch.
It always works, if i touch a spot on the screen that works 100% and then immediately after that touch a spot on the rigtht side.
Sometimes it also register a touch if I try like 10 times.
Could this be software? The phone is not rooted og flashed. I have tried to restore to factory defaults. I'm thinking maybe I could get lucky with a different ROM/Kernel?
I'm also wondering if it is a loose connection to the digitizer? But the I think its wierd that it works when I first "Activate" the screen by touching it on another spot first.
I hope someone can come up with some ideas to try before I open it up again, as it is quite hard to get appart, and I'm worried to brake the new screen.
Regards
TJMacGyver
have the same problem, and i dont think its a software problem you can test the touch screen by using htc help app go to : hardware misbehaving / hardware diagnostics / line drawing test you can view it by drawing lines on screen
have you found a solution to the above problem?

Screen problem (Hardware Issue)

I left my redmi note 5 on charger and I slept, next morning the screen was flickering , then it shows a black screen, after restarting the phone, it worked for a little while, then it shows different colors which appears as columns (picture attached), the phone physical state is perfectly fine, it wasn't dropped at all and the screen is in a perfect state too.
I was running Android 10 MIUI 12 ported from redmi note 7, I tried to flash original firmware, and a different rom, but nothing changed, so the issue is not related to the software.
My question is:
Can I find any member here who faced the same issue and knows what happened to the screen? Any hardware expert here can tell me what might be damaged inside the hardware?
Thanks in advance.

What part of the screen exactly?
I don't have much information about hardware related issues, so I don't know what is happening here, I see light coming from the screen even when there is nothing but a black screen, and when I reboot to recovery it starts to show different colors (like the previously attached picture).

The thing is that, your screen is damaged. I can say this because you said the screen turned on but there is no picture showing up. Replace the main screen in service center buddy
