Having the same with my G900 since a couple of weeks. Sometimes after some use the screen goes back to normal again. At first it was just anoying but it got worse since a couple of days, and after dropping it (again). The phone gets slower and the screen just stops, goes black and the phone restarts after a while.
Once I dropped the phone, and the front cover got loose near the fastport. I was able to close it, but it clearly shows damage. So I probably can't get it repaired under warranty. Therefore I'm thinking of carefully opening it myself. If a loose connection to the screen is the problem, I guess it could be fixed. At least I can try to wipe away the dust under the screen.
My guess the problem is in the screen connector. It's a touchscreen, so it can also make the phone instable if the connection is bad. Maybe my dust-problem is related to this, but I don't think so.
What bothers me is that I have been dropping all my SE phones (K700,K800,C702), but none of them have dust or screen problems and all still work fine except my G900, the most expensive but less sturdy of them all.

I was having the same problem, screen goes dim. Constant restarting of the phone. I decided to buy a new LCD from ebay and fitted it today.
Now my phone works perfectly again. Would recommend it to anyone suffering from problems like this with their phone. |

Hey Phantsm, if you replace your LCD, will it fix it permanately? or will the LCD screw up again later? |

Hey everyone, This site is awesome. I had the same problem and found the solution here. I replaced my screen and it works perfect. Although it took me over a month to get a screen because of a bad e-bay deal. I still have not got my money back. After ordering from someone else, I received the LCD in less than a week.
One comment. I thought I would replace my case while I was at it. The case face was cheap and there was strange striations in the plastic like there was liquid between layers. And yes, I took off the plastic protective cover. The more I fiddled with it, worse it got so I keep the face but replaced everything else.
Now just trying to polish up my old display. Maguire's is working ok on two applications. Think I need something with just a little more grit. |

hi all!
I've got a G700 with the same problem, i bought this phone as a broken. but its not so common than a g900 restart problem. I want to buy a lcd-display but i dont want to spend money needlessly. So i dont know if mine is dimmed or darker, any idea?  |

you can try your lcd in another g700 also. then you'll see if the lcd's working fine.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my SE G900
and like most of you I'm going to replace my lcd too
I found some Lcd's for the SE G700 and G900 on ebay and other sites
But those aren't touch screens
Is that a problem?
Is the touch screen of the G900 apart and does it use a normal LCD screen?
Or is it a LCD and touch screen in one part?
For example: Do I need a touch screen digitizer like this one
http://cgi.ebay.de/New-Touch-[....]76dcfc&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
and a LCD screen like this one
