Have you tried pulling the battery?

The OG Droid is an ancient phone by today's standard, I wouldn't be surprised if the display was shot

 

[HavingPhoneProblems]

you mean taking the battery out and letting it sit out overnight?

No just for a good minute should be enough. If that doesn't fix it, you probably have hardware related problems.

i did and i didn't have any luck but what do you mean hardware related problems?

 

[Danvee]

Meaning something that will require physical repair or replacement of broken/defective parts. Maybe a bad LCD, maybe a loose/broken cable...
Without the necessary diagnostic equipment, it's difficult to impossible to know definitively which it is...

exactly what Danvee said.

Recommend you bring it into a cell phone repair shop and have them take a look at it. They'll most likely need to take it apart, unless the repair person has seen enough of the same problem and can just give a diagnosis right there. Considering the age of the phone though, they may not even carry parts or access to them even.

There's not much else we can do to help unfortunately. It seems like a hardware related issue and needs to be repaired.

 

[HavingPhoneProblems]

well can you recommend any repair shops?

That's kind of tough considering we are all over the world and have no idea where you are. Try a Google search in your area.

I'd recommend you go on Yelp and search for "cell phone repair". Good luck.

 

[Danvee]

I'd start with whomever you purchased it from. They may have a recommendation.
