[Archived] Is this normal?

[sambo]

Basically, I dropped my phone the other day, and whilst the standard LCD damage appeared at first, now the screen is all black (that was admittedly, after I had tried to fiddle with it as part of what was open before had frozen on my screen so I tried to continue using it).

Is this normal? The phone works, as the bottom keypad lights come on when I turn the phone on. Is this repairable? I know I'll have to pay £80, but does this sound pretty standard for LCD damage?

Cheers

Fair enough, but if someone has an answer, feel free to reply or pm me!

I would think it depends in where the damage is. Dont take my word for it but I would assume the connectors from the phone to the screen are damaged otherwise it would still work but with busted pixels.

Just my guess anyway. And I would guess it can be repaired, most things can these days

Yeah it looked like usual pixel damage at first with the colours etc, but when I pressed into it a bit it went black!

Assuming it will have to be sent off and have a new LCD put in, hopefully they'll find a way to fix it (at 80 quid I should hope so!)

Red Dwarf is ace. I'm half way through the third book. Love it.

As long as its better than "Back to Earth"

Back to Earth was not very good, kind of ruined it. Should probably be left alone now.
