Water/oily substance underneath the screen?

bassballboy · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2009, 02:59 PM

I'm just wondering if this is a common problem that anyone else has had.
After takinga shower one day I noticed that there is some sort of fluid underneath my screen, I'd guess it is water. I can move it around it I push on it, and it's transparent... It's just annoying looking. I figured it would go away but 5 days later it's still there. Any ideas? I'll see if I can get pix later.

Yeah, there was a thread about this.

"Rainbow like circle on display" Or something to that effect..

Personally, I've never had this happen to me on my TP and i've had it since release day.

You shouldn't take a shower with your TP.

Yeah I'm glad I'm not the only who noticed he said "after taking a shower" which caused me to think it might be connected some how.

LoL

Do you really think I took a shower with my phone? What I meant was that it was sitting on the bathroom counter, aka maybe the steam affected it I thought. But if that's all it was it should be gone by now, I'm going to go and read through the linked threads real fast now...

yep. have it right now on my TP, already had one screen replaced due to it. had 3 vogues replaced do to it. my friend's vogue now has that problem and so does my dads.... sprint used to just replace the entire phone, now their techs take it apart and just replace the screen.

Yeah I was thinking steam myself. I take mine in the bathroom when I shower, but I stick it in a drawer during. I'm odd I know.
