I am posting it here since I only experienced this with Xperia but I guess it should work with any LCD.
Two days ago I sat on my Xperia X1, literally- Result a distressed LCD with a huge white spot covering nearly 3/4 of the screen. There was also a burn in of the today screen. The touch screen worked, but due to the whitening and the burn in, it was unusable.
Bummer I thought. Then something told to me by a LCD technician came to mind.
Here is what I did;
1. poppied out the battery
2. Placed the xperia in the freezer (i an not sure what the temp was but i had set it to -60 deg Cel (thats the min my fridge can give)
3. Let the unit freeze for 18 hours
4. Took out the unit
5. brushed off the ice
6. wrapped it in paper towel and let it sit for several hours to warm up to room temperature
7. after several hours used a hair dryer to gently blow on the set
8. popped in the battery
9. switched it on
Problem solved- no white spot, no burn in, just plain bright wvga goodness again.
Note- steps 6-7 are for getting rid of any condensation moisture that may accumulate on the cold phone. Do please make sure your phone is dry of any condensation on inner circuits before powering up- you may damage it further.
Do this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for any damage to the set, blow out or nuclear detonations.
