I have a Realme 12 Pro Plus that I recently had repaired after a nasty fall. The glass was shattered, but everything else was functioning well. I got the glass replaced locally for about 5K INR. Fast forward two months later, my phone started showing a black display, even though it still rings and vibrates. I took it back to the repair shop, and they quoted another 5K INR to replace the entire display. I'm trying to understand what components make up the phone's display to figure out why it's not working anymore. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like a real hassle with your screen acting up! When your phone's still powering on but showing a black screen, it usually means there's an issue with the display or the cable connecting it. Since they only replaced the glass initially, there's a chance the underlying components like the actual display or flex cable are damaged. Replacing the whole display assembly is often a safer bet to get everything back to normal.
As for pricing, full assembly costs more because it includes all the essential parts. If you’d like to try fixing it yourself, checking online for parts is an option, but make sure they’re reliable. Also, official repair centers, while pricier, often guarantee better work and parts.
In short, the black screen likely points to an issue beyond just the glass—not performing a full replacement originally may have led to this.
Thanks for the detailed info! Just to clarify, since my phone has an AMOLED display, when the glass was replaced, did they also replace the display itself? So now, if the glass is fine, only the screen or flex cable needs to be addressed?
