Hi all,
since 2 days ago I have this problem. The screen switch off itsel,and sometimes the power buton just doesn't work.
Also, sometimes, pops up the window saying if I want to swich it off, like when we press the power buton for a few seconds...but without doing it!!
I really don't know what to do, is very anoying. I thought might be because the other day I went for a walk, and was raining, so could get wet(?) ..don't know if that could be the problem, but anyway, that was friday, and today Sunday still happen the same.
Any ideas? Might get the buton blocked? If so...how do I unblock it?
I check the screws, and don't know what tool would be good if i need.. might be an special one ?
Thanks in advance.

Screen switches off
I have a Tytn (Hermes) the phone comes on sometimes and works , then on occasions it would be on , but the screen is off . The backlight stays on but nothing on screen. Push the power button and sometimes it will come back on , other times i have to remove the batt and wait a couple of hours before the screen comes back on . When it is like this then even if you reboot , it goes past the htc logo and just before windows loads the screen goes off .I have re installed the shipped roms again as at first i thought it was a software problem . I can see my phone on active sync and i can also load software to and from the phone , even with the phone screen off . any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks

Hello,
I need some help/advice here. My HTC HD suddenly stopped responding to touch screen taps
I did soft-reset several times and screen keeps giving me a hard time. Sometimes it responds, sometimes - not. Finally I decided to give it a hard reset.
Now I'm completely stuck. It boots up to the moment where you have to tap on screen to continue initial setup process. Since screen does not respond - I cannot go any further.
What should I do now ? I'm in USA and bought this phone brand new almost a year ago. It worked fine till now.
seems like u need a new digitizer http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=digitizer+touch+hd+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=digitalizer+touch+hd&_rdc=1
How hard is it to install digitizer by myself ?
This morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped working. Hardware keys are still working but device is not responding when the screen is touched. Already tried a hard reset but no success, now I am stuck at the align display screen. Also can no longer get to the bootmenu, so can't reflash my device! Any suggestions on what's wrong or how this can be fixed? Thanks for any help!!!!
I'm curious
Didn't you see any spots (like oil spots on the water) to the touch screen ?
I had the same problem .I replaced the touch screen and the phone is working again .
No, nothing, was working fine at night, when i woke up just randomly stopped working. The display is not cracked or anything, so wondering whether a screen replacement will do the trick? ALso strange that I can no longer get to the bootscreen to enter HardSPL...
Had the same problem, the issue (with mine anyhow) was the digitizer, which is an overlay that sits on top of the actual LCD screen to give it touch capability....
good post here

I had a similar problem,
To get past the Align screen I had to apply pressure to the top of the screen opposite side of front facing camera - then use the screen as normal
I reflashed the original rom (manually getting to bootloader) - it worked for a bit but ended up sending is back to 02 for repair.
All they did apparently, was to reflash the ROM again and its been working since.
Had the same problem a couple of times a while ago, when i was trying out WM6.5.
All buttons worked but not the touch screen. Never really found out exactly what the problem was, but the first time I managed to get it working again by resetting the alignment:
While gps button pressed (under green button), press center D-pad button this will bring you to alignment screen.
The other time the "alignment trick" didn't work, but i got it working again, after flashing the original ROM couple of times. (And doing hard reset between each time)
I think I used this ROM
You say you can't get to the boot menu, do you run hard-SPL?
most likely its an hardware issue - had this one too, of course out of nowhere!
flash with original rom and if you cannot align screen (as the hardware seems to be broken) send it in for repair. it will be under guarantee, if screen isnt broken.
I had similar problem, I passed the alignment but i had a huge offset in the touch.
I replaced the touch screen and it solved the problem.
You can find it in ebay for 1 US $.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for all the help guys!!! I do run hard-SPL and have flashed many ROMS - just don't know why it won't enter the bootscreen anymore when I reset the device and press the camera button. Did manage to upload original ROM again by using activesync, now trying to restore original hard-SPL so I can send off the device for repair.
Hi, i had also the same problem, i find a threat in the internet... try to push the upper corners on the device with your fingers and then tab on the screen to see if the problem solved.
I had the same issue.
Its more than likely your digitizer. I tried flashing 100 different roms but always stuck at the align screen stage.
I actually have the barely used digitizer if anyone wants it (for a few dollars of course hehe) My mainboard died a couple of weeks after i installed the digitizer.
needless to say i moved away from the ****ty build quality of HTC to the MUCH better build quality of the iPhone.
!NEED HELP ASAP!!
Went to unlock my phone and the bottom half of the screen was black then once the back picture loads the top half is perfect (no problems) but bottom half goes from black to having random lines all over and cant see a thing from half way down!
The touch is fine it responds to touch i just cant see anything from half way down that im touching!
This has just happened and im going crazy! i dont know whats going on!
some1 please help me!
ive done a soft and hard reset and nothing has changed!!
Got my S7 Edge for just over a month now, and yesterday it started showing a black screen from time to time when navigating the phone. Note that I haven't dropped the phone, changed anything to it or made it wet. So after the black screen flickering, it only got worse, the black screen appears everytime for like half a second when i touch the screen, and when it gets noticably hot it simply stays black with rainbow lines flashing over the black screen.
Booting in safemode doesn't help. The flickering seems to be reduced just a little when I put it in the charger.. Not sure why.
I feel let down by Samsung (again), and I am bringing it to the service center tomorrow to have it fixed (and trade / sell it when I get it back) but I wanted to make 1 last cry for help on XDA, since maybe someone has a magical solution that will prevent me being without a smartphone for 2 weeks+.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Nothing we can do.
Factory reset phone is your last resort.
