But the display only lit up when some pressure was applied to that area. What I did that worked, it may be out of luck, was squeeze the bottom of the display screen where the home screen & task manager button would have been located (bottom, center of the screen) and it would light up. I tried the squeezing the sides the phone with no luck. I tried smacking and knocking the edge of the phone. I tried charging the phone, and that did not make the display appear. Phone would restart and turn back on but no display. I tried the soft restart (holding the power button and volume down together). The back button light still worked and I would see the indicator light above the screen blink from time to time indicating the phone was on, just no picture. My phone fell and the screen blacked out. I love the G2 (I still have it), but it isn't built for hard knocks. Other than that, twisting, pushing or otherwise forcefully manipulating your phone may solve the problem periodically, but trust me, it's no way to live! Taking it apart alone didn't look like a job for the faint hearted (and I'm a fairly confident fixer), so check your warranty first. In terms of fixing it yourself, you can try and there are videos on YouTube that show people dismantling the G2. The UK warranty for this phone is 2 years (meaning that any phone with this problem at time of this answer being posted will still be under warranty and should be sent direct to LG - register on their website and initiate the return there), but I can't speak for the US. The description of the fault by LG's repair centre was 'Screening', and the symptoms were as described in the original post here. Basically, it appears that something gets disconnected, with regards to the screen, quite easily e.g. I too thought it was to do with the power button until that stopped being effective. This would correspond to those who said pressing the power button or other forceful actions solved the problem. I'm not recommending twisting the phone as a solution, but rather to demonstrate that the physical force made the screen display properly again. I found that twisting the body of the phone got it to work intermittently and for long enough to allow me to back up the data before sending it to LG for repair, which they did with no objection as it was under warranty. I had the same issue with mine, purchased 10/2013, with what I thought was a knock/drop not worthy of mention, at least, not compared to the abuse my previous iPhones and Galaxy 3 were subjected to with no resulting failures. 6 inches), this is likely to be the cause. If you've dropped your G2 (as some in this thread have already mentioned), even from a relatively small height (e.g.
