Can you say a bit more about it. How strong is this yellow tint. Can you upload a picture.

It's difficult to know if this is caused by a new screen that has a faint yellow tinge or whether it's a definite fault.

My phone started getting the white screen issue, the buttons stopped working.

When I'd turn the display on, it would be all white, id have to press it a few times then it would be ok, the buttons seized to function.

I took it to get fixed, the buttons now fully work, but the screen has a weird yellow tint all over. It didn't have it before. I was mad at the repair shop, the guy told me that its the LCD screen connector cable or whatever... but I don't believe him, as he doesn't seem to know wtf he is saying..

please help

Mine started doing this recently. Screen fades to white and nothing works but I can still hear if I'm on the phone. For me, turning it off and back on resolves the issue (I can see the display again). I suppose some aren't so lucky..

More than likely the LCD connector cable has a problem. Why he didn't fix it, I have no idea. If you feel up to taking it apart, you may be able to push the connector in further, OR you could buy a new screen. Then again...

Hi there
I have rebuilt many hermes with the same problems. I researched the issues on here and elsewhere - Its nearly always related to the entire Dpad/cable/connections . I have repaired nearly all of these quite simply by dismantling them and adjusting/cleaning and reassembling them - things move and get out of contact etc and this is what happens with these - get a torx driver and have a go - after a few tries you will usually solve the problem
Happy to assist anybody who would like a hand
Kind regards
John
