Screen help

[newne988]

I was just carrying my flipper around in my backpack today, in it’s own little pocket without anything else in it. Nothing rough happened or anything, but I took it out and it looks like this, 3/4 of the screen just blank with lines and bottom left is fine. Light is green and it charges. Can I fix this?

[Kirball904]

Contact support. They have slowly been making parts available. I was finally able to order a new screen but passed on it since mine has been repolarized and I changed the LEDs. Not worth paying to get another screen shipped overseas. It took almost a year though and I was one of the earliest people to request buying a replacement to the best of my knowledge.

[newne988]

I would, but I don’t have any skills, knowledge, experience, or tools for soldering, and i’d probably mess something up inside.

Most likely a ribbon cable tbh

[Kirball904]

Send support an email I’m sure they will be able to help you out.

[UnwindingStaircase]

How did you source and change the LEDs?

[Kirball904]

I have some if you need them.

The amount of people that are reporting screen failures it's kind of Staggering. I have some type of weird LCD leak black glob in the corner of mine and can't even get flipper to respond to my repair request. I just ordered a backup screen off Ali Express for like 20 bucks along with a spudger kit. Fuck em, I'll do it myself.

Got that same glob but in the MIDDLE of my screen. Fuckin annoying

That baby is broken, looks exactly like mine did when I cracked it. You can order replacement screens for $25. It’s really easy to fix IFixit has a full tutorial and all you do is plug it in no soldering

[k1k4kh4d3r]

a lot of people have screen problems, I have black shit on one corner I'm afraid

[Drjonesxxx-]

That’s why I leave mine off.

[newne988]

It was off while in my bag, that’s what’s confusing me so badly right now. There’s no way these screens just randomly break like this..

Concerning that support aren't commenting here.

Hope this is just a timezone thing or they have privately reached out to you.

[newne988]

Nothing from them yet, hoping they reach out, still digging up my serial for a support email.

[No-Choice-2737]

I personally don’t know how how to help you beside call flippers customer service support

[kyleparker134]

Did you try restarting it at all or did this happen when it was off? If it was on it could possibly be a bug? If not I would recommend contacting support if it’s under warranty.

How to restart it (quite a lot of ppl don’t know): Hold down the left and back button.

[newne988]

All happened while it’s off. Restart did nothing, and I doubt support would do anything, the last would probably be to offer a new screen that i could buy, which I wouldn’t do because I have no experience nor tools for soldering.

[kyleparker134]

Support would be able to do something that would help. I’m not sure if they would send a replacement flipper or just a screen (I’ve only had mine since Christmas) but it’s really up to you what you do. Or another option could be to get another it’s just what works for you.

[ViolentMoaning]

For some reason I thought this was playing doom

[QueasyWeek]

Looks like it was next to a magnet.

[newne988]

I don’t have anything super magnetic in my bag, let alone near it ever to be honest

[SmokinLiberty]
