My galaxy tab fell onto a weight from the couch. The drop caused a dint on the back of the tablet and when I turn it on, there are colorful lines up the screen where it hit the weight. The screen is not cracked. Can this be fixed?
Nesia, it would be easier if you would post an image with your question. Right now, from what you describe, it sounds like you have a broken LCD. It will cause the symptoms you describe. Check this teardown and see if you are up to replacing it. Hope this helps, good luck/
If you drop your tablet or phone and have lines down the screen then you need the screen replaced to sort the problem. This is to everyone who has the same issue. Repair prices for Samsung tablets aren’t as expensive as their mobiles so depending on model should be cheap enough. Stay away from network shops. O2, Vodafone etc as they won’t be much use. If you can’t do it yourself find a reputable repair shop in your area to give you a quote. Samsung tablet screen replacement is a piece of cake to be honest. Follow a few repair videos or guides and almost anyone could do it.
You need to reboot the phone if it doesn’t open again its broke and it can not to be used again if it work correctly when you open the phone or tablet it will erased all of your apps and games data and photos
