Droid 2 no display just dim backlight

[djhudjr]

Yesterday my phone display was perfectly fine then i went to make a call and it wouldn't show a display just a dim back light. i thought it was just being slow so i waited until the menu, home, back, and search button stopped lighting up then i hit the lock button again and still the same thing i tried to unlock it and it vibrated like it does when you unlock it but still no display. i had my wife call me and went though i just had no display. I have seen other people post about this but no one has gotten a solution. does anyone have trouble shooting or a way to fix it i can try? any help is appreciated. Thanks

do you have a screen protector? could be messing with light or proximity sensors

The screen back light sounds like it has failed. You although it could be just an android software issue. Try a battery pull then report back

You have two options.
1. Buy a new screen assembly on eBay for your phone and install it yourself.
2. Buy a new phone through verizon or a used one through eBay.
This of course only applies if the year warrenty on your phone is up. If you are still under warranty then just call verizon and get a refurb for nothing.

Also you may want to try fighting with verizon and see if they will do anything for you cause that's ridiculous that your phone failed like that. Depending on how many years you have been with them they might do something for you.

How long have you been a customer of verizon? Also it is a little difficult if you don't have much technical experience but there are video tutorials on YouTube you can watch

LCD backlight off after 20 minutes of battery charging.

My Droid 2 don't know if in warranty because I bought from UK London, and would appreciate if someone of you experienced similar problems as I don't know its history. I just saw the battery logo waving until 20% but before putting the plug it was dead.
Thank you.
