LG G7 Water damage, what should I do? - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hello!
My phone didn't survive an adventure with water... I sent it to LG Poland, and after one month they sent phone back and answered that warranty is void due to water damage. I think that they should repair phone because of IP68 certificate. I just want to ask you, have you ever had a similar problem and had you sent LG's phone to warranty repair? What did LG's service answer?
There's one more thing... They resent phone with damage on bottom left corner...
Below I attach photos how phone looked before repair, and how it looks after repair...

Sent my old G4 for repair during waranty (week gps signal when I got it back the screen was like yours.. They tried to fix it but couldent so they payed all my money back i paid when I bougt it..

dont try to connect it to any source of electricity or try to turn it on, put it on a bag of rice for about a week and then connect it and try to turn it on

LG has very bad aftersales service . my G7 constantly stops charging even with little bit of moisture.

Refurb has a really loose screen

I had a couple issues with my epic and when I brought it in for repair/replace under TEP, they were able to fix the ear speaker but the lines on the screen remained so they ordered a refurb which I received last night. At first I was so excited because it was in so much better condition than mine but within the first minute I noticed the screen was way looser than my year and a half old POS that's been dropped on concrete a few times. So what should I do?
I googled it and it appears that a repair store can strip it down and tighten a few screws to fix it, but if it just came from the "sprint certified" refurb factory or whatever, why the heck didn't they do it? I'm assuming it's normal and I can't really think of any repercussions to having a loose screen but it really does bother me for some reason. I haven't even put a battery in it or anything, should I take it back to the same store and see what they say or just activate it and live with it?
I'm not sure if this will even show, but here's a pic:

That gap is over twice as big as my old one...

Could call Assurion back and tell them they sent you a defective refurb. It has happened to many paying customers.
Yup just get a replacement. Took them 3 tries to get me an acceptable refurb.

Got insurance/TEP (total equipment protection)? The you should be OK. According to Sprint: With TEP you phohne will be "replaced quickly and easily by filing a claim if lost, stolen, or physically damage beyond economical repair including liquid, fire or lightning damage." [http://bit.ly/HYddCd]
This has save me sh$tloads of money and enabled me to be able to upgrade great phones when old ones died. Best money spent.

^Yeah, even I had replaced my screen a few months back. It's gonna cost you anywhere between 1-1.5k! Although mine was under warranty, so got it replaced for free.
You can get it replaced at any samsung service center and it took them a couple of days in my case.

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML Screen Marks

Hello everyone, if anyone can help me with this would be fantastic. I bought a Zenfone 2 last November on amazon, and recently it started overheating what I think caused some burned marks on the edges of the screen. I requested assistance from asus and they offered the RMA to fix it or replace it, but I'm afraid to be charged with CID ( consumer induced damage) since my phone have a lot of cosmetic damage. Should I take the chance with the RMA?

I had to RMA mine for basically the same thing (this thread). After hearing nothing from Asus for over a month I emailed them and raised hell. They responded and looked into it. They finally said that they were having issues getting the parts for it and offered me a replacement device which I accepted. My phone was in perfect shape except for the screen issue (used cases and tempered glass from day one) but it would be worth a shot. Just make sure you have a stand-in device before you send it, though.
Looking back I wish I would have just had it repaired by a local place. It would have cost me 80-100 bucks but I would have only been without my phone for a couple of days.

Screen Glass Separating

Hi all,
The glass on the front of my g4 seems to be separating from the panel underneath, up near the camera area:
{
"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"
}
I sent it in for a warranty repair with my provider (Optus, 2 year Australian warranty still has 6 months to run) but they refused to repair on the grounds that the phone was bending, causing the separation, and that this isn't covered under warranty. Quoted $260(AUD = $150USD) for repair.
Just hoping someone here might have a suggestion on how this could be repaired without replacing the screen. I could probably replace the screen myself (I see the assemblies are now going for about $50USD) but don't want to do that before the end of my warranty. My current plan is to leave it and see if it gets worse, if it doesn't get worse I'll just wait six months till I can recontract and get another phone. But if it starts getting worse it might be nice to have a backup plan (especially since I actually really like this phone otherwise).
Cheers
I have the same issue, but less large, on the bottom, near LG logo. I don't care about that.
