hi guys...my screen has gone all white! i have tried every kind of reset possible, and still no luck. i can hear the start up chime, so i think the memory, OS, etc is intact fine...but there is something wrong with the display! Any ideas??
HI,
Yea its most likely your screen. I disassembled my magician to install a new case and now the screen wont power on but i can hear a startup chime.
Looks like ill have to buy a new screen or move on to a new phone.
Whitemoo.
Did you end up replacing your screen? NB, you might want to try cleaning the contacts to the LCD with some no residue flux, and a toothbrush / painting brush. The contacts just might be dirty. At the very least you can see what type of screen you need if you decide to go that way.
NB, My unit is doing something similar, but it doesn't seem to display the bootloader screen, etc. It has a samsung screen.
Also, when I try to use USB to connect to it, it gives an error message, but only after it's booted up. If its in the bootloader, I can use romupdate.exe and connect to the bootloader fine, and back up to SD, etc...
Is it definitely just the screen that needs replacement?
Have you tried to upgrade the rom to a higher version?
I met the simliar problem when I flashed my rom to 1.06 CHS, after I upgrade
it to 1.12.07 CHS or 1.13.00 WWE, it works very well.
HI YOU
I have a O2 mini(magician) after update rom is white diplays
can you upload rom for me?
thanks
Somebody Can Tell Me Where I Can Download Mini O2 Rom .please Help
I have the same problem. I open it up to check the front speaker and now I ended up with a white screen phone
That is nothing to do with rom, because I run MyMobiler and I can even everything with it in my PC, I even hear the clicks, but still only white screen on the phone
Damn speaker. It was his fault!!
Here is the cause of your problem - you connected the screen badly on assembly or it slid out when you were closing, open your device and make sure the flex cable is properly inserted. That, or you damaged the flex.
hey my problem *developed* to be like urs

Hi,
i have cingular 8525, but when i turn on the phone :
1. no startup screen only white screen.
2. no startup sound.
3. cannot enter the bootloader.
when i try connect with pc no hardware detected.
really need advise, what steps should i do?
Thank your for your kind
I am having the same problem
Case 1 above does not sound like the hardware fault that can cause a white screen in which case the following may be relevant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755
Case 2 above gives no details so we cannot tell if its software or hardware. The above thread may be relevant assuming it's not hardware.
The hardware fault normally shows by the phone booting as normal but the screen is white or goes white after some minutes.
If you post on the above mentioned thread, you MUST provide details or else folks may get upset as it means they have to ask a whole series of questions before trying to help!

White Screen
Try this: Hook it up by USB to computer and see it the video will pass thru ( try a sample version of "pocket controller" from SOTI software)......
Mine did this and the WHITE SCREEN required calling CINGULAR and they had to replace the machine , twice actually) ...
I think the problem originated from the use of the plastic case holder which when closed would sometimes get between the two halves of the unit and cause separation)
Ahhh yes prob solved.
after months of using my device, qtek s100, after a reinstall of windows (same that i'm installing everytime) when it tells me "tap the screen..." i tap, and ask me for calibrating. I'm calibrating him, and still ask for calibrating, with no end...the problem was manifested when the windows still worked and everywhere i was pressing, it was like i was pressing on Start everytime, even if i was pressing on clock for example. what should I do? pleaseeee
hello mate, why not try to upgrade your OS
hy. i've upgrade it to 1.13 which everytime worked. then i've upgrade it to 2.03 which has the same problem. does exists another OS to upgrade?
Ady_uaic, I also have that problem and FINALY i've figured it out...
above the LCD screen, there's a thin transparent glass screen (touchscreen), which has a small ribon that connects to your phone.
check this link for a picture of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Dopod-818-i...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (*)
The thing is...once, when i was opening my phone, i did a small cut on the ribon by mistake and now the screen behaves like that...I've found that if i gently push that touchscreen to the right, the ribon will sometimes bend a little bit and will make a perfect contact which allows me to keep the phone aligned...unfortunately this is only temporarely since sometimes the ribon moves and of course, the alignment is lost...So, i would advice you to check if the ribon is intact and not broken somewhere...if it is broken, then you know what to do: Buy a new touchscreen and/or an LCD w/ touchscreen included.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Keeper
(*) although similar, do note that this touchscreen AIN'T for the magician, so don't order this one!
hello..thank you for your quick answer..i will try and i'll let you know
Sound like a hardware problem ... try flushing a new rom, if not , take it to a lab.
open up the device and reconnect the display ribbon wire properly after cleaning with a soft cloth.
the ribbon may disalign after a fall or dismantling the device and certain other factors.this is the only possible fault.if it doesn't workout, you may have to get the lcd changed.
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,

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.
Is there a solution that the first thing after a cooked rom to set the touchscreen. I cannot use the screen anymore.
I have spl 3.10.cmon and ipl 2.26.0002 in my red green blue screen.
Installed the ORIGINAL)RUU_Elfin_TMO_NL_2.26.114.52_4.1.13.52_03.08.90_BLUE_Ship.
So my screen is hanging after windows mobile screen
tap the screen...
I can run mobile registry editor and active sync is also working (to explore pda via active sync)
Please Help
Flash other rom m8, this one could be with broken or conflituos DLL
I tried several roms:
[ROM]Windows 6.5 ROM 23414 SEN V1.0
ONYX ULTIMATE 4.7 (Recommended)
I think it has to to with the keyboard files ?
Tap the screen to set up your windows phone is the message. Nothing works.
Please advise.
The worst could be a defective touch screen.
I noticed that you have an awkward spl and ipl combination: 3.10 and 2.26 respectively. I'm not sure if that works. Have you ever successfully flashed any ROM with those combination? If not, I suggest to re-unlock and use the same ipl-spl combination.
I'm just second guessing and you may want to wait a little bit more for someone to confirm if your ipl-spl combination works.
i can load different .nbh
Now my ipl = 3.14.0002
SPL 3.10.cmon
Tried onyx_5.1.2.nbh
This message appears again:
Tap the screen to set up your windows phone.
Cannot push this message away.
Maybe we are not on the same page so I have to verify. What happens if you tap the screen when it prompts you to do so? Tapping screen should lead you to the alignment screen. Does it?
The ROMs you tried shouldn't have such problems unless as I've mentioned - you have a defective touch screen.

How can it be defective i did not do anything but turning off the device and
turn it on again.
Could it be a virus on the elfin ?
lets check if ur screen is broken or not
what we gonna do is use ur pc and the programs below to remotely control your device
1. download and install msp_remotealignment.exe (zipped) and run the program while you have your device connected and active sync working.
choose the first option on top "Skip Screen Alignment" and press SKIP. your device will reboot and go through all the customizations and reboot again...
check to see if your touch screen works.
2. at this point if your screen is still not working....then we have 90% the screen or digitizer is broken...so now to cover the 10% so download and install MyMobile123_06152008.exe (zipped)
run the program while your device is connected via active sync and see if you can control your device remotely...if so....sorry for the bad luck....your digitizer or touch screen is defective.

Thanks for your help.

I can control device but no touchscreen.............
Is it possible that my input (start/settings/personal) is wrong ?
No virus ?
When is the touchscreen loaded ?
Another solution ?
I have service manual. Can i check this somehow ?
Please advice.
If it is your digitizer that is broken, they are fairly easy and cheap to replace. The digitizer is attached to your front plastic, the one you are touching with your finger or stylus, so you buy it in 1 part and that part just connects into a connector below. There are instructions on the net somewhere, but no soldering or special skills are required. The only thing you will need is gel glue that attaches the digitizer to the rest of the body at the front, but if you are careful removing the old digitizer, you'll be able to re-use the sticky residue to attach your new one.
Oh, the tip on removing the old digitizer - warm it with a blow dryer a little bit, it will loosen the resin glue.

Where can i buy such thing

I cleaned the cable and it is working again . Perfekt thanks
So my Titan has been on the fritz for some time. It started with the front keypad " up " button becoming hard to register. My screen, upon startup goes white, phone is responsive however. So the rom does boot up. this problem was sporadic, until one day powering on an off did not fix the problem. Before the screen stayed white, I lost the ability to open the keypad without the phone's screen freezing. I could slide the keypad maybe a quarter of an inch open, any further an it froze. So, my question is, What could be causing this problem, an, what could be a possible fix? I have already loaded up a rom on it hoping this would remedy the problem, no joy. It is a sprint titan, flashed to cricket, currently loaded is dcd 3.3.4 with a hardspl I believe. Open to any an all fix's. I will try an post back. Would like to get it fixed so I can sell it.thank you all for your time.
Time for a new phone sounds like a hardware failure when roms don't fix the problem
It sounds like it is your ribbon cable... you can get them online, and they aren;t overly expensive if yo ucan replace it yourself...
ok, the ribbon cable. I'm somewhat handy with things. does anyone know of a guide for opening up this phone?
there are a couple of good ones on youtube
but you will need a small torx and small philips screw drivers. Like ones that work on glasses
