Screen goes out

[liljoejoe54]

Hey guys, I got my G1 2 days ago and today my screen went out. The backlight still works but it doesnt show  anything on the screen. When I take the battery out and then restart the phone once in a while the screen will work but as soon as I lock the screen, it will not come back on. But most of the time it will stay off even when I restart.I never dropped it or damaged it in any way. Anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it? I called t-mobile and they are sending me a new phone.

liljoejoe54,
Ohhh my god, I am starting to read now problems, well nothing is perfect.  good for you that they will replace it, did you buy warranty? or just they will replace it, because you just bought it?

they better be replacing it because of he just got it as long as he didn't drop/get it wet.

I have the insurance on the phone but T-Mobile is replacing it no questions asked. They didnt even hassle me about it at all. The new one is already in the mail, i just gotta send the broken one back when the new one comes in. I thought they were gonna give me crap about sending me a new one but they were very nice and helpful about it. And nope, i havent dropped it at all and it has not gotten wet. The screen just went out without warning.
