Re: Screen Black, But On

Took it to the Verizon store and they told me there was nothing they could do (no insurance) and that I had to upgrade my phone. Only problem with that is I have 3 other lines and cannot afford to upgrade them all at this time, and I do not want to renew my contract as it expires in about 5 months. In the meantime I am using my older phone that I hate.

Pretty much are there any quick fixes that will renew the screen, or am I doomed for 5 months?
Doomed, maybe. There's no real quick fix for that hardware failure. There's a few things you can do, like search here about replacing the screen with another from ebay. It's been done.

Also, if you have stuff on your phone you want to get off, or can stand using your phone from a computer, go to this thread ---> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=110732 and follow the instructions I posted from the program I found and downloaded. It's lets you fully control your phone from your pc, and it's free. If nothing else, it gives you something to do for 5 months.
