I am having some problems with my 8900 screen. There is a small/medium blackish green splotch that has kind of come out of nowhere. It wasn't there one day, the next day upon powering on it was there. I tried flashing the pixels to see if that would help anything, but I'm guessing that the pixels are just dead not stuck. I think I could replace the screen myself easily enough, but I am having a problem finding a replacement screen. Anyone have any ideas? I tried CNN, and a few other places with no luck. Though I did find a service that will do it for me for the grand total of $180 (I love my phone, but at that cost, I'll just get something new!) I haven't checked what screen I am in need of yet, so I would like to find a place that has all three options available, but if you know of a place that carries the screen at all, that would be great. Thanks for any help!

Try here: Wireless Parts Inc. - 8900 Javelin

They have all 3 listed - new, not used take-offs.

you probably put some heavy objects on the screen over a night, the next morning, you have a bruise on your screen

The screen replacement was extremely easy to do, especially using the tutorial videos on youtube. The only thing I had a problem with was finding a T-6 screwdriver. I finally found a set of "precision" bits and a driver on amazon that I ordered as I wanted something that would hopefully last longer than just the one repair. It's a great little kit for the price. Here's a link: "precision" screwdriver set

I did order from wireless parts Inc, and the experience was just okay. I placed the order on the 10th, and it didn't get here until the 21st, as in Monday. I'm also uncertain as to whether it is new. I am not sure how one would tell the difference between a new one and a takeoff, but the one I received had just enough sticky residue on the back to grab dust, but not enough to hold it in place when putting the phone back together. I assumed that a new screen would have some sort of peel off backing that would be removed from the double sided tape, this seems almost like double sided tape that had a solvent taken to it, but I could be wrong. Either way, the new screen works great, doesn't have any dead pixels, and most importantly it was very easy to do. Aside from the T6 I utilized a phone tool kit that you can get on ebay for a couple of dollars and it was a snap. Don't hesitate to DIY if you have a screen issue. BTW if anyone has any input about the screen being new or a take off it would be appreciated, as I would like to know if there is a visible difference.

Also, here is a link to the youtube vid I found most helpful.
