I have a CU515 LG phone. I have had it about a month now. Today I removed it from the Factory Charger. The inside screen went haywire when I turned it on. Now all I have is a blank white screen. I can make and receive calls but I can not see anything on the screen including access to the menu Richard

Richard it sounds like your LCD screen went bad. If you bought your phone from your service provider, it will be under warranty. Call them!! They will replace it.

If the phone is not under warranty, you will need to replace the LCD screen. You can find a replacement LCD on ebay, I have provided a link directly to the screens on ebay for your convenience:

http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=LG+CU515+Replacement+LCD+Screen&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Here is a good tutorial on how to replace the screen. As you read it, you will find that it is very detailed and cost effective.

Please leave us 4 thumbs up :)

I found the lcd screen on a very popular web site and it cost me 15.00 that included two small tools to help with the repair. A screwdriver and a Pry tool. And shipping was included. I figured that was worth a chance of fixing the phone. I may just have had "dumb beginner's luck" but I was able to do the repair and my phone now works like a charm. The phone itself has two small screws under the decorative plastic cover at the top of the opened flip phone. (just above the chrome piece above the LG logo. Just gently pry that loose and you will see the small screws.
At the bottom of that same area you will see 2 round dots one in each corner. Once again gently pry them up with a very small tipped tool. Mine popped off very easily. That is the four screws that hold the cover over the lcd screen. You will once again have to gently pry the cover off after the screws are removed. It sort of snaps into place to secure the cover over the lcd screen. After you pop the cover off you are ready to remove the screen. The speaker is attached via two small wires at the top of the lcd screen. I took my soldering gun and removed the two wires (my phone were red and blue wires) but that is the only soldered wires to deal with. At the bottom right hand side of the lcd was a connection, I guess one might even call it a plug. Just lift up on it a little and remove the broken screen. then slip the new screen into place. Make sure you reseat the small plug at the bottom and very gently without applying to much heat attache the speaker to the two small wires we talked about earlier at the top of the screen. Oh yeah, the screen comes shipped with protective plastic covering over both screens the plast needs to be removed prior to inserting into place as you begin working with the new screen. Anyway then all you have to do is put the cover back on, gently snap in in place, then put the four screws back in and replace the decorative covers. and you should now be back in business. It took me about 10 minutes and like I said earlier cost me 15.00. I hope this helps someone. I'm not a great writer but I did find this task very easy and extremely cost effective.

Phone Fired

Phone, you need a new one, fatal error, means something inside of your phone is fried. Charger, are you sure the outlet is good for electronics, sometimes the outlet is a dud after a while, even in newer homes, that is a possible problem, or you're getting the wrong charger, sometimes there isn't enough volts, or too many and can ruin yur battery, if you would like the perfect charger, google it, and figure out the perfect charger for your phone.

Jumbled screen on LG CU515

Your phone has a LCD (liquid crystal display) and if it is dropped or gets a chemical or even water on it it can damage the fragile insides of your phone. Is there a gas at the shelter that could be affecting it? Barring that, take it to your provider and have them analyze the problem. That is a free service. Good luck.

you can manually select and move the photos in the my stuff menu, but there is an easier way
open the camera and go to Options-->(5)Primary Storage-->(2)Memory Card
there should be a picture of an sd card instead of a phone in the upper right corner of the camera screen
thats it!!!!! easy, no?

My screen is going off and on

Has the phone gotten wet?
Sounds like your only option is to ask to have it replaced under warranty. However, if they see that there was water damage, they may charge to replace it. There is a water damage indicator sticker under the battery, which turns pink if exposed to moisture.
