Ok so my problem is I have the evo 4g and my lcd has gone out not the whole screen but only half of it check the pic... My question is I want to fix it is there a way I can do this at home or do I need to take it to a shop and replace the whole lcd? Any help would be great thanks...

Was it operating correctly before ? Is is a recent issue ? Was the device dropped ? If the device was not dropped. I would first do a Full Wipe. Then flash a different Rom. That way you can rule out the possibility of it being a bad flash , or Rom issue. If that still does do it, you can take a look at the link below. It a How to TUT for screen repair.

Just like pryboy says you want to rule out that possibility. If it turns out to be a LCD issues then it is a super easy fix as long as you have the right tools. I bought a set of small screws and pry tools for under 15bucks that was actually labeled smartphone repair tools. Works for me too because I fix alot of smartphones anyway. Parts for the OG EVO are super cheap too. But try to rule out all the other stuff 1st before taking it apart, which is not as scary as it sounds anyway.

    I bought my smartphone repair kit at Radio Shack. It was on sale. Bought it for $12 :). Came with a ton of stuff, and a carry case.
