a couple of days ago I dropped my phone. After I picked it up I immediately noticed that the screen had a greenish tint. I was able to fix it kinda by going into the settings and changing the color calibration. But there is something else wrong. The white level and black level and also the color calibration depend on the brightness now. When I increase the brightness, the screen gets blueish and it gets hard to tell white and light gray apart. Same thing then I dim the screen. The colors get warmer and dark gray start to look like black.

How is that possible? And can I fix it without replacing the screen? I already opened the phone and reseated the screen connector, but that didn't do anything.

UPDATE: I reseated the connector a second time and now it is much better. The colortemp does not change with brightness any more and also the problem with the black and white levels is gone. The greenish tint is still there though

I successfully replaced the screen of my OnePlus 5T, however a problem remains : the speaker does not play any sound anymore.

Instead a rapid ticking noise can be slightly heard when playing a sound (music, call, video…) but also when starting some apps (WordReference for instance, which does not require any sound). The noise will last a little more if I pause the sound supposed ti be played.

I searched for a solution and found out that the speaker is dead (some talked about humidity) and bought a new one : replacing the speaker did not solve the problem.

What do you think could be responsible for this ? Are there any solutions ?

Many thanks !

What are the possibilities of things that could be broken. I do not understand what components are in the phone to make this error and need advice.

I am asking for guidance as I only want to open my phone once and want to limit the time that I can not use it and the amount of times that I open up the phone.

And advice is appreciated

Regards Jonathan

I'm experiencing some issues after replacing my screen. I'm getting a lot of ghost touches when scrolling, and every few days the screen goes crazy with clicks. Completely unusable. Can't do anything but hard reboot which fixes it. The Keyboard is a bit off. Most gestures work, but only if you use a different one each time. Example: You can't use 'V' twice in a row. You have to do a different gesture each time or it won't respond. Music gestures don't work at all.

Everything else works as it should.

Any idea what could be causing it?

I still haven't started the repair yet so I still have the old screen with the mesh still in there. I was wondering can I actually get access to the mesh without taking the glass off the midsection? Do I even need it in the new screen?

Thanks in advance for anyone who knows anything. Can't find any answers about this anywhere. Seems like everyone forgets about this small part.

I've recently bought a replacement battery for my 5T.
The replacement process went well, and all worked fine(for a bit).

On the packaging(and here) it says to charge the battery to 100% and keep charging it(which I did), let it drain completely, and then charge it back up.
Now, I did the charge up to 100% + the extra 2 hours yesterday, where everything worked fine.
I let it drain over the course of today, and plugged it in when the phone shut down, just as described.
Since then, it hasn't been charging, and keeps showing the screen described in this post, which incidentally was the very reason I bought this replacement.

What's happening? I'm confused, the charging worked just fine yesterday, so the charging plug shouldn't be the problem. Did I just get unlucky and receive a broken battery?

Thank you very much for any help/suggestions!

I saw that there is tape between the power button (connected to the main board) and the plastic button on the (at that point removed) phone cover. That tape looked really perforated and could easily be the cause of issue. Since most of the assembly tutorials/videos don’t attach any tape after installing the button, I decided to simply remove the tape and continue to use the original power button.

Has that been a good idea? What’s the use of that tape on the button?

I just received a new screen to replace my broken OnePlus 5T screen. I thought it would be easy game : dissemble, plug and done.

However, the result is not quite what I expected. The screen is upside-down and displays two times what should appear once (as you will see attached). Also : the touch screen is at the right place, as if nothing was different from a new phone with perfect display…

Have I done something wrong… ? Do you have any solution?

Many thanks in advance !

I have dropped my phone flat on the screen. It fell on the floor and after that the display went all black.

However, those are still working :

• Charging light
• Buttons
• Touch screen (I managed to turn off my alarm with my finger)

I already dismantled it and verified if the connectors were well plugged : they are now and still no light… Have I missed something? Should I buy a new screen?

Many thanks !

I’ve never opened it.

This would be something like disconnected display or maybe the display is broken and need replacement?

Everything else is working except for the screen image.
