lcd screen break factory

I had a broken LCD and digitiser and found a solution on another forum, so I thought I would share it just in case anyone else runs into this problem. - This also works for those who just want to factory reset their phone and don"t have a broken LCD and digitiser. Anyways...

How do you fix that which is broken? Specifically, how do you access your smartphone—to wipe all of your important data off of it, presumably before shipping it off for repair—when you’ve destroyed the screen?

If neither of these solutions work because your screen is too damaged—I dropped my iPhone 4 in a pool once, so I feel your pain—you have two other options.

Once you toggle the factory reset, you’ll need to power on your smartphone in order for it to trigger. And once the factory reset finishes, you shouldn’t be able to locate your smartphone on either Find My Device or Find My Mobile, since it will no longer be associated with your account. (It’s back to its default settings, after all.) That’s a great way to check and make sure the reset worked, in case you can’t see anything on your shattered screen.

You may get one or two lines appear without external influence, but no more than that. This is damaged caused by pressure or impact to the screen from an external source.

I"ve seen screens like this in the past. It can be either the VGA (but I guess you tried it on another computer and tried another screen on this computer).

Sorry to be the extreme minority here, but- I have had screens develop stripes and streaks all on there own.  If you do not see evidence of something physical, I have to go with the user!

Based on my experience that"s clearly physical damage. I"ve seen it a few times on laptop screens, and once on an external monitor which was dropped.  In the situations where I have seen this happen, there wasn"t damage to the surface layer of the LCD panel, but rather the internal layers were cracked and causing the rainbow stripe effect we"re seeing in the picture you posted.

I"ve had that "just happen" before.  That was the end of my Lenovo X41...  It was sitting in tablet mode, nothing touching it, just there by itself when it the screen blew up like that.  No visible damage anywhere and was working just fine until all of a sudden it wasn"t anymore.

That broken spot on the screen lines up with where I have seen thumbs on flat displays where the corner of the frame is in your palm.  Most of the time people are grabbing the displays there to physically move the displays around in cubes like if you want somebody else to get a clear view of your monitor. Trying to prove that it was intentional will not be fun.

Lines can show up on their own.  That black spot?  That can only happen from physical damage.  The diagonal split down the right is also clear evidence of a physically cracked LCD.  This did not happen on it"s own.  Last time I saw a monitor that looked like this a student had thrown it on the floor, and then stomped on it.

We inspected all of them before sending out to customers (SOP), and of the 12, we ended up RMA"ing 4 or 5 of them for various manufacturing defects...some had scratches on the screens, at least 2 had dead pixels. These were brand new, out of the box. Clearly was not a good run from the factory.

Hitting the edge of the screen will do it, but it could be something from a shelf above that fell on it, accidentally running into the edge of a desk causing it to fall to the floor, or it could intentional damage with a hard object wielded by an emotional person.  That black area at the top looks like it might be close to the point of impact.  Any bezel damage?  Obviously if the bezel is damaged/cracked, its more cut and dried that something hit the screen or the screen hit something.

Replace it and don"t speculate on how it happened. If there were witnesses, they can testify as to what they saw/heard to the person"s manager and HR.  If it was intentional, the manager and HR need to determine the liability of having someone who has shown they can have violent outbursts plus the screen replacement versus the costs hiring and training a new employee.

It is possible (barely) for a screen to break on it"s own or after very light pressure, like someone gently poking it. But, I"ve only heard of this happening with glass screens.

When manufactured, glass can store an incredible amount of pressure and force - look up Prince Rupert"s Drop for a great example. So, it is possible in extremely rare occassions that a glass panel gets through QA after a major production problem, and ends up in a screen. That glass would usually break during assembly or shipping, but not always. So, it"s possible for a screen to be delivered on the verge of cracking; a light poke in just the right place, a change in temperature/humidity causing pressure from the case, or even just time could result in a large crack. But as I said, it is extremely rare, and the glass is teetering on a razor edge the entire time.

But that screen does not look like it has a glass panel, and I don"t see any cracks. I"m 99.99% sure that was caused by an impact. You can get lines of miscolored pixels from degradation or manufacturing errors, but you don"t get regions that are completely white (like the bottom) or spots that are completely black (like the top) unless there is real damage.

Edit: and an extra thought: you have tried to move some of the desktop icons into that solid white or solid black area, right? There"s a chance that this is an elaborate prank on the new guy, and we are seeing an excellent desktop wallpaper. After the recent thread about reminding users to lock their screens, it is a possibility.

I"m gonna say it MIGHT just happen depending on any extreme thermal changes to the screen/ the environment the screen is in, but more likely it was a frustrated end user.

On the function keys (F1 - F12) on your laptop does one of those have an icon with two screens, and if it does, press that to see if that sends a signal to the external monitor.

Accidental Damage is any damage due to an unintentional act that is not the direct result of a manufacturing defect or failure. Accidental damage is not covered under the standard warranty of the product. Such damage is often the result of a drop or an impact on the LCD screen or any other part of the product which may render the device non-functional. Such types of damage are only covered under an Accidental Damage service offering which is an optional add-on to the basic warranty of the product. Accidental Damage must not be confused with an occasional dead or stuck pixel on the LCD panel. For more information about dead or stuck pixels, see the Dell Display Pixel Guidelines.

The LCD glass on the display is manufactured to rigorous specifications and standards and will not typically crack or break on its own under normal use. In general, cracked, or broken glass is considered accidental damage and is not covered under the standard warranty.

Internal cracks typically occur due to excessive force on the screen. This can be the result of some object hitting the screen, a drop, attempting to close the lid while an object is on the keypad area, or even holding the laptop by its screen.

Spots typically occur due to an external force hitting the screen causing damage to the LCD panel"s backlight assembly. While the top layer did not crack or break, the underlying area was compressed and damaged causing this effect.

If your Dell laptop LCD panel has any accidental damage but the laptop is not covered by the Accidental Damage service offering, contact Dell Technical Support for repair options.

One of the most concerning issues to plague smartphone users is a black screen, often referred to as the “black screen of death.” However, despite the harsh name, this issue can be remedied in several ways.

To fix a black screen on an iPhone or Android, the first (and easiest) step is to do a hard reset. This basically entails rebooting the phone’s software. A hard reset can be performed right on your phone, although the process differs depending on what type of device you own.

If you’re still staring at a blank screen, it’s possible that the cable connecting the logic board to the LCD screen has become disconnected. This can occur if you accidentally drop your phone a few times. In order to regain your screen’s functionality, the cable will need to be plugged back in.

If you want to repair a broken iPhone or Android this way, it’s best to seek help from a professional. While you may find DIY instructions online, you could risk causing irreparable damage to your device if you don’t know what you’re doing. So, if you suspect that your phone’s LCD cable is disconnected, search for a place in Las Vegas that fixes phones.

When your phone screen goes black randomly, it may be an indication that something is wrong with your operating system. In that case, a factory reset is often beneficial. During a factory reset, your device’s data and settings are completely wiped, returning the phone to its original state (i.e., the state it was in when you first purchased it).

macOS allows remote screen access via a local network using Bonjour, but only if you enabled Screen Sharing in the Sharing preference pane. If you might have done so, follow these steps:

With Screen Sharing enabled, if you also clicked Computer Settings and enabled a password for VNC viewers, you should also or instead be able to use standard VNC screen-sharing software from any computer on the network (including a Mac), or one that can reach the network remotely.

A broken iPhone screen is no fun. After all, we use our phones for almost everything. If the touch response isn’t working, using your phone can be difficult, and it might not be possible to use it at all. This can make it hard to keep up with friends, plan your day, and even do your job.

There are several reasons your iPhone touchscreen could stop working. One of the most common reasons is physical damage. If your screen stopped working after it hit something, the damage is most likely physical.

The iPhone actually has two parts to its screen. The top part is the digitizer and the part underneath is the LCD screen. The digitizer is the touchscreen and the LCD screen displays the contents of your iPhone.

When your digitizer isn’t working, your iPhone touch response won’t work properly. Meaning you’ll see your screen, but you won’t be able to interact with it correctly. Sometimes, only part of your screen will work, or it will take extra pressure to tap something.

If your LCD screen is out, your iPhone won’t turn on at all and you won’t see anything on your screen. Alternatively, your screen will be blurry or fuzzy or will have some sort of visible damage.

If there’s a problem with your digitizer, there are a few fixes you can try before taking your iPhone to a repair shop. However, if it’s the LCD, you’ll need to start searching for repairs straight away.

Some users might have activated certain accessibility settings that can interfere with how the touchscreen works. The most common culprit is Touch Accommodations. If enabled, your iPhone screen will seem buggy and you’ll have a difficult time navigating the touchscreen.

If turning your iPhone off and on again doesn’t do anything, you’ll need to do a factory reset. Be sure to back up your iPhone before moving forward. If you can use your screen in some way, navigate to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.

If you can’t navigate here, you’ll need to plug your iPhone into a computer to perform a factory reset. After resetting, in rare cases, your touchscreen will work again.

If your phone is an older model or you’re on a budget, consider exploring other repair alternatives. Screen repair shops and kiosks are popular, and some of them do a great job for a fraction of the price. However, you might not get the best repair.

You can also attempt the repair yourself, but if you make a mistake you could do more damage. If you want to try it yourself, you can buy iPhone screens online and most of them include a DIY toolkit.

To do this, your phone screen will need to at least partially work. If so, try to make your way to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control and turn that on.

If Siri’s enabled, you can enable Voice Control by saying “Hey Siri, turn on Voice Control.” Once enabled, you can access your iPhone without using the touchscreen.

If your iPhone stopped responding to touch after damage, heat, or salt water exposure, a repair is likely needed. However, a user might have activated Touch Accommodations, which could be the culprit. There are also rare cases where a software problem can cause the touchscreen to work and a factory reset could solve the problem.

No matter what happened to your iPhone screen, it’s important to get your device functional again. After all, we use our phone for everything nowadays, and not being able to use it can change how we engage in daily life.

Okay so, I misplaced my phone yesterday, and when I found it, it was broken. Everything seemed fine, but when I turned it on, the display was patchy and a section of the touch screen wouldn"t work. I tilted the device a little to reveal a couple of otherwise-invisible cracks in the screen.

just to recap quickly: one day I turned on my laptop and there was a big nasty crack down the screen running from the top in a jagged line across to the side. the machine was never dropped, hit or abused in any way, so to anyone out there who doubts that this kind of thing can just happen... well, it can.

anyway, after taking the machine to an authorised repair centre, instead of contacting apple for a warranty repair as I"d asked them to do, they just sent me a quote to replace the screen at a cost of around 950€. now, if I"d dropped my computer, or some accident had happened to it, I would have just had to swallow it and accept that this is how things go. but seeing as nothing like that had ever happened, it"s a little harder to come around to thinking you are going to have to shell out for something that obviously was defective and snapped all of its own accord. the repair centre suggested that if I wasn"t happy with the quote I should take it up directly with apple..
