How to Fix the LG8500 Chocolate Cellphone Screen

if your LG8500 Chocolate Cell screen randomly becomes WHITE, buy a FLEX CABLE and follow these steps. *evil* Telus was going to charge me $150 to fix it; doing it myself cost me about $10.

the phillips screwdriver i bought at a dollar store. you could probably find them at a walmart or superstore too.

Thank you so much! It works for me. I just finished repairing my Chocolate. It's been stashed away in my room for years until I came across how to fix it and wondering if I could. Perseverance! I did it thanks to you. Take care.

My piece of shit "chocolate" phone snapped in my jeans pocket while bending over.

I'm on a 3 year plan, and the phone is quite obviously not capable of surviving 3 years.

Telus's stance is that they are the service provider and cant do anything about it.Call LG

LG's stance is the warranty is up.Call Telus.

Seems they have quite the little loophole to avoid responsibility.

Does anyone know of any class action lawsuits against telus for this kind of ignorant bullshit? pm me if so.

Mine did the same thing. Only thing I noticed different in the process was a little D shaped rubber piece fell out during the "Take off black thing" part (1:17) and I have no idea where that was supposed to go. Also, when connecting the cable, the little door that goes over the end didn't want to stay down even though I made sure the cable was lined up right and not blocking it. But the original had tape over it, so I put that back over it. :/
