Thunderbolt Screen Failing Slowly (almost a useless phone)

[Heisdan]

I've already replaced this screen on my phone and its acting up again. There is a line going from top to bottom that does not register at all. That makes my phone almost useless for most things!! I'm wondering if the screen I just put in is faulty or if this could be software or installation error? Help :'(

Did you replace the screen the first time for the same problem if so I'd be more incline to believe it was a something else shorting the screen. Did you replace the screen yourself? Did you buy the phone directly from verizon?

I was thinking about doing it myself when my screen cracked, but I am glad I didn't. The benefits of having someone else do it you will get quality parts, if you send it to VZW, you will get a refurb phone. I think your warranty is void now. I would call VZW and ask them.

I replaced the digitizer/glass the second time. The first time I replaced just the digitizer and I feel the problem it failed is incorrect assembly of the digitizer glass. But like I said, the second time I have no idea why it failed.

I've never had a Verizon warranty. I tried to go without it this time and it didnt work out :/ ... ??lesson learned??

Update: Since last post I've disassembled the phone, looked it over for any incorrect assembly problems (twice) and I haven't found anything. Still the exact same scenario.

Has anyone replaced a digitizer/glass assembly before? Where did you get the parts and how long have you been using the phone after the repair?
