So I Was Replacing My Invisible Shield And I Thought It Be Cool To Put A Hairdryer To The Screen... (That Way All The Humidity And Micro Bubbles Would Go Away) And When I Went To unlock The Phone.. It Lost Its Sesitivity... So I Turned It Off.... Tried Turning It On... And Smh.. It Shows "HTC" Then Goes From White To Black...And Has A Big ASS Screen Bleed Now.. Will Warrenty Cover THis?? Or Is Therte Away Around THis..........????:confused:

:(Helpppppppppppp!!

Might need to replace the digitizer. Try finding out if its covered under the warranty. Don't tell them the truth, just tell them that you woke up after leaving it charged and that when you touch the phone it had restarted and that it was hot and that's what happens.

And we wonder why companies are getting harder and harder on folks who need to do legitimate exchanges. :mad: Be honest or just buy a digitizer. Dishonesty is what got this country where it is now!

Could it be he needs to replace the lcd instead of the digitizer? He said the screen was bleeding.

Can't say I disagree with this but I recommend telling the truth... and that truth is:

1. He turned it on.
2. It doesn't work.
3. Warranty replacement please.

Seriously, why on EARTH did you put a hair dryer to your phone... No offence, but it's your own fault. This is why it's so hard to get legit replacements and why insurance costs a fortune.

This is why we can't have nice things!

I've changed many screens and digitisers, I'ts common ground to use a hairdryer to heat the screen to warm up the glue before you pull it apart! Honestly you must have been heating it for a good 10-15 minutes man,Next time do it in 1 min spurts.

Is there a reason why you have to capitalize every single word? It makes your posts hard to read.
Getting the stickers wet is very bad, honestly I think that your chances of getting it RMA'd are pretty slim. You can try replacing the screen if you're handy with that kind of stuff but a new lcd won't be cheap.

Yea if u leave the sticker red they wont replace it. And there are ways to change it back to white, I'm not going to tell u how but if u want to know look it up, reason I'm not telling is cuz how do I no u didn't drop it in water. And about the screen y n the hell would u have it on high? U do no that hairdriers get hot right, and heat can F**k things up right. O n next time heat the screen protector up first (and not while on the phone) then apply it to the screen, and rub the air bubbles out.
