Magnet damage or something else!

**Dstrcto47** · 09-02-2012, 01:03 PM

I believe I have magnet damage as there is like little black lines on the top left of my phone. I tried taking a screenshot but it didn't show up! I believe its from a hotel card. Does anybody have a fix for this?

How would a magnet damage the screen ?
LCD screens aren't affected by magnets the way old CRT technology was.

I'm with jrham, that was old CRT monitors. These screens aren't affected by a magnet - - and certainly not by the incredibly weak field on a hotel room card. You must have bumped it into something, or something similar.

Well damn...yeah it keeps getting worse too! Like its crawling to the other side of the screen...I'll bring into sprint and see what they can do I guess

Cracked LCD is what that sounds like post a photo

I posted some photos of what it looks like. Sorry for the bad quality! Had to use my webcam

looks like an adhesive issue like it heated up and separated . But hard to tell. Either way looks like a factory defect and should be covered.

Where do I bring it then? Into sprint? They cover manufacture defects for free right?

always start there if not happy might have to go through HTC directly, But Sprint has always been good at dealing with things for me. Make sure you go to a repair center and not a authorized seller.

alight will do! I was hoping to have a simple fix i could do myself because my sprint account is suspended so they won't repair anything until i my account is back up
