Hi There
My JasJar has been working pretty well, but yesterday I was using the machine in landscape mode (like a laptop as opposed to PDA mode) and noticed that I could easily rotate the screen either way.
I was sure that it was only supposed to turn one way (pushing on the bttom left), but couldn't resist the temptation to try as there was no resistance at all and I thought that maybe I had just missed this cool feature.
After I had rotated it the "other" way, I could not put it back in to landscape and had to turn it ANOTHER 180 degrees. I can feel the strain on the cables and am scared that it is going to break soon
Has anyone else had this please?
Thanks
John
It shouldn't do that. Both my JASJAR and my Exec will only rotate one way.
That's what I thought.
It seems as though the "rotation limiter" for want of a better phrase, is faulty.
Has anyone else had this, please?
Update....
I looked at the bottom part of the rotating joint and noticed a screw.
When I took this out, I was able to lift up the whole of the mechanism and saw that the cable was very tight. I rotated the screen back so that it was in the correct position again and then replaced the screw and it seems to be fine, BUT, I can still rotate it both ways, so I will need to be very careful.
I think that this machine is going back to i-mate!

I unfortunatly had this probem out of the box with my o2 exec.
It survived 2 days before the screen went black.
was exchanged under o2's 28 day policy.
New one is much better better built

Thanx for reading this.
same problem
i've just had the same problem:
the screen fades to white if i turn it to the "mini laptop" position. turn it to pda position and the display works fine. no problems with orienting the screen or touch sensitivity, either. turn it around to work with the keyboar, and the image dissapears.
advice, anyone?
I have the same problem.
i purchased my machine about 4 months ago and all of a sudden the screen turns WHITE in minilaptop mode. Fixing it is either powering off and on or alternatively flipping the screen to PDA mode.
I've searched through 'White screen' and have seen many complain about the same problem. Amazingly not even one relevant solution to this problem. This is not a software problem, it is obviously an hardware issue. I am willing to open my O2 Exec and try to fix it, as it looks like a bad connection or something.. but i need some guidlines. There are alot of people with that problem, anyway please help.
My XDA developed this dreaded syndrome last night! I did a search too and no solution...
I don't want to open it up as I've only had the XDA for 2 months. Do you think o2 will replace it with a new one as I took it out on a contact (business) with them?
send it to be fixed
unfortunately in my case it was a hardware problem - the internal screen connector had to be replaced (and now the screen feels looser on it's hinge)...
at least it's covered by the warranty.
anyone found a solution? Mine happened on the weekend after having it for 4days only. Unfortunately i bought it brand new on ebay so i cant send it to o2. Any help woud be appreciated.
apparently, this is not a hardware issue
This has just happened my xda as well. I switched it off last night and put it by the bed.... Switched it on this morning and nothing but a white screen. This is crazy. I was reading a book in landscape mode last night and did nothing with it except switch it on this morning... And a white screen in landscape mode when I woke up. What could have happened during the night for chrissakes! Very disappointed. Anyone know where i can get a new ribbon for the lcd? It will probably cost an arm and a leg!
Are there anyone still working on solving this problem?
Mine got the same problem now and it is out of warranty.. I dun wanna spend a fortune on fixing it .
THanks
I've just bougt myself a MDA Vario from someone who tried to upgrade it and screwed up his phone. After reading some treads on xda-developers I've fixed the phone . Now I've got a cheap Wizard but with a little problem.
When I've got the phone closed the colours on the display are normal. But when I slide out the keyboard and the sceen flips horizontal, than I get less colours. It's similar with a normal PC that that's changed to 265 colours mode.
The phone is flashed with the latest carrier rom.
Who can help me with this problem ?
Thank
I just find out that this problem has to do with a broken flatcable. I searched on Ebay for a replaceable flatcable but I can't find one. Does anybode knows where I can order a new one ?

Hello guys ... never thought i`d post a problem thread but here i am.
Here is the situation: sometimes the screen graduately fades to black&white vertical lines. It happens 90% of the time i use the volume key in Today screen, sometimes it happens sudently when i`m navigating windows menus (Programs, Settings), and oftenly in iGo (2006). Problem doesn't ocur when the keyboard is out.
I have searched but nobody seems to have this problem.
P.S. Attached a zip with a short movie of what exactly happens, maybe someone has a solution.
I thought a OS upgrade would solve the problem, but it didn`t (i recently upgraded to TNT WM 6.1). Could it be my wizard is a G4 and i used soft spl to upgrade? (didn't install a original rom before upgrade)
I have a different screen problem. My touch screen does not recognize when I do try to use touch selection using my finger or stylus. Anyone with any suggestions?
I`ve found a thread on the HTC Hermes forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163
It seems to be a loose display connector, or not sufficient pressure on it. Hope i`ll get the time to disassemble the wizard to see if i can fix the darn think.
Nobody else with this problem, or other solutions?
Yep, same problem, found the same solution

too scared to fix it
I took the darn thing apart a couple of months ago, and noticed that the problem is with the display cable ... when the slide is closed, the cable is bent (at 180 deg), and probably the cable wires have thinned. (the problem never appeares with the slide open.
Didn`t think of a way to fix that darn bend, so i`m back at square one. Did notice though that the fadeing seems to be in direct connection with the backlight setting.
I have had the same problem as the first post and now I've got the problem of the second, any ideas?
Try flashing the 2.19er Radiorom, that solved this problem for me.
Do I blame the onboard video or the LCD itself for this problem? I've taken the phone apart and re-seated the motherboard connections, which was no help. If I connect using EveryWAN the phone appears to be working fine, in fact I flashed the T-Mobile ROM and than the Button ROM thinking it was a IPL/SPL issue. Even if I try to start in boot loader mode the screen still looks the same.
Just trying to decide If I need to replace the motherboard or the LCD.
Thanks,
Bump back to the top!
Screen seems intact without any damage visible, no cracks or out?
Had this problem once with my old Universal, was the colour transfer wires that were loose, but pretty sure the Uni is totally different to our wizards.
Prehaps open her up and see if theres anything thats loose prehaps.
I had it opened and re-seated both the connecting cables, but no luck.
Ive had this problem with my wizard .. i couldnt find a solution. tho i didnt really try very hard. Basicaly just picked up another one on ebay for like £30 seemed cheaper than spending the time and effort fixing it. I think mine got progressivly worse. It used to do it occasionaly and now just it as soon as its switched on
i have a same sort of problem...
left of the screen fills with lines and the whole screen fades to white.
turning on and of the screen via power button takes it back to normal but then it happens again.
noticed it only happen in portrait so i have to set it to landscape all the time
for some rom and spl's it happens just a few times a day and others i cant use it in portrait.
If i find a solution it might be working for you to
Fading white screen of death
Could be the battery. Have you tried a new battery?
Solved.
The LCD itself was bad.
