Aftermarket, used and original screens compared

An aftermarket (OEM) screen’s durability and picture depend on its maker; no fixed lifespan can be promised. An original screen is the maker’s part, and a used screen is removed from another phone. You notice the difference most in picture quality, brightness, touch sensitivity and battery use.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first.
