Screen Broke! What is this? (Pic)

[MrOuija36]

Same thing happened to me... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=15820

they replaced it in store.. its UNDER the touch screen so they consider it a defect not physical damage... so i came in with that and left with a fresh one

dont let them tell you otherwise

Dont mind me, just posting what I get from picture, hope you are ok.

I appreciate your concern yes I am in the hospital at the moment. Major abdominal pain. I've had CT scans, X Rays, and you name it all day long! So far they can't figure out what it is.

I'm spending the night here. Thankfully Florida Hospital in Orlando has free WiFi! Otherwise they'd be transferring me to the mental ward!

Maybe it's Crohn's Disease?

Any change in urine appearance or muscle spasms? Loading on carbohydrates help relieve the symptoms? Could be porphyria.

...oh wait...that's a rare disease

Has anyone else ever noticed this before? Its sort of like a rectangular shape that looks like liquid all over it. Maybe the screen is cracked.

But when you turn it on you can see everything. You still notice this issue in the background but it doesn't completely obstruct the screen. Has anyone else seen this?

Since you asked, that pattern is sometimes refered to as "Moire" pattern.
It is caused by an interference in light that has opposing polarity.

more info for polarization if you want to read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization

Your case could be either LCD liquid leaking, or delamination of the polarizer for the LCD.

I too have seen this on my buddy's Touch. About a week after it started the "Touch" screen quit working. Nothing on the screen would recognize his touching the screen. Took it into the sprint store and the exchanged it no problem.

[No1ustad]

had it happen. they'll first blame it on the screen protector. if so just tell 'em to take off the screen protector and then they'll see and swap it out.

My Touch has started doing this as well. I would have to like it is the outside display detaching from the display. I have never dropped mine nor had it in my pocket when I sit done since I purchased the phone back in December. I am curious to know if this is happing on the touches with the older displays (the ones that fade out when looking at an angle). I noticed the newer displays are much more crisp then mine.
