reset ure device, happened to mine cas I was running to many apps and jammed it up
Droppend mine too and I got a white screen too. Sometimes, the screen would show the real image for a few seconds, but then it would fade away... Had to bring it back to the store for repair. Luckily my device wasn't scratched so they repaired it for free.
After my jasjar was dropped, when it boots up the screen freezes up and goes white sometimes straight away, on a few exceptions it does last a few hours, I noticed (but don't understand why) that the device works longer when I'm in cold enviroments?!? When the jasjar does boot up the slightest movement can cause it to freeze up except today when I was working In low temperatures
I've contacted a repair company to see what they say, I suspect the cpu is damaged but i could be wrong.
I'm ordering a a TyTn in the near future, but I would love to get my jasjar working proper again with WM6 looming

Good evening... Well recently, i bought a Screen Protector from ShieldZone for my hermes. Well I applied it to the screen and so forth to the rest of my device, then i realized the touch screen doesnt work. I take out the battery for a few minutes, and it starts to work, but after a few seconds, it stops working again. Any suggestions?
This happened when i put my first screen protector on too.. What happened is you put the sticker on to tight; there is an equal pressure over the entire screen , so the processor cannot distinguish your pen touch from the rest of the matrix. All you have to do is take the protector off and reapply it with less force and it should work. (It took a few tries on mine to get it right, did the same thing on my wife's Treo 750.)
well,sounds strange,did you align the screen properly??
Im using a not so costly screen-protector on my hermes without a problem.
Probably u may remove the shieldscreen and make sure dat its not a hardware issue,good luck
yeah i took off the screen protector and still i have the same problem. Anyway i can change the pressure settings?
well,Im not sure about pressure settings but you may try re-aligning the screen (in settings) ,it shud help mostly,hope u have warranty which is not void...
I had the phone unlocked, and I put in the latest Cingular OS, even though i am on the TMOBILE Service.
I have the wierdest thing happen this morning!!! I woke up and turned on my phone, and there is a little smudge in the center of it. Almost like there was a air pocket between the protector and the screen, so i took the protector off, and it was still there!!!!!!!!!!!! So, i pressed down on the little spot and it moves around just like an air bubble would. I turned on my phone to see fi there would be any problems and for some ODD reason, everytime i tap the screen it smushes in that spot. It looks like when you press on the lcd screen of your computer and the pixles kinda move around a little!
Was wondering, I have a Cingular 8525 and would this warrant a repair? Meaning, Could I call them up and tell them what happned and they would send me a replacement?
This is really getting frustrating... I had this phone for only 8 days and its already giving me a headache.
my alignment is off and i have to realign it until it gets messed up again. i have a screen protector on and it just seems so unresponsive. im using farias crossbow rom on a 8125. thanks!
you should send your wizard to service.i had same problem with my kjam and i sent my wizard to service.they changed the screen.i dont have screen aligment problem any more.but before you send your phone to service dont forget you must flash your phone with offical rom.cheers
do you think cingular would replace it for me? i bought this phone about 1.5 yrs ago when it was available to cingular and dont have any insurance protection or anything.

I'm getting same issue and i'm calibrating the wizard once a day (sometimes more often) but i also have a screen protector and i play Solitaire a lot (dragging the cards constantly may be the issue? )
I've also dropped it once but only a scuff mark came out as a result of it. I guess i should try the warranty
Mine was having the same issue. It seamed to me at the time that the dust that was gathering under the plastic lip around the screen was heating up and expanding, causing pressure on the edges of the screen. After removing the screen from the casing and cleaning the entire thing with alcohol swabs, then replacing, the problem hasn't occurred for almost two months.
If you're not comfortable taking the device apart, I recommend contacting HTC directly to see if they will perform a warranty repair, or get a price quote on screen replacement.

my first for ages.
I recently purchased a wizard which looks to be virtually brand new.
now the other day I updated it the the o2 uk latest rom as it was running a really old rom.
and it has been running perfectly, i have not looked into running any other rom or performance upgrades etc.
now I was using the device in landscape and after closing the unit my screen went bright white and my pride and joy is now not usable.
I can still acept calls, the touch screen still works but the screen is pure white.
Ive contact a few places and they all say the screen has died and needs replacing
Does this sound right.
its a £80 fix if this is right. im so gutted.
any advice is great before i pack it up and send it off.
anyone please....
Can you put it into bootloader mode? If not i would say you have a loose connection on the screen to the mainboard i had the same problem with my old phone the screen disconnected for the main board so no display! If you cant get it replaced take it apart and carefully check the connections if still doesnt work i would try another screen or buy one.
even when i reset it, it stays whits so cant see anyhting on screen,
ive had someone take it apart and re-seat the cables and still just a white screen
so im off to purchase another one in hope this is all thats gone
as your phone is booting up press and hold the camera button, is the screen still white?
cant tell now. ive sent if off for repair.
Im gutted.

I had a similar issue, the keyboard sliding in and out must have worn out the switch that detects when it is open/closed. I had had my wizard a year and the screen started flickering, i dealt with it for a while, then the scree was stuck blank white unless if i pressed on the area of the phone that had the contact.
I had to send it back and got a refurb.
sounds like thats what happened to you too. Hopefully when you get it back it will be good as new
ive sent mine for a screen replacement tho not a repair.
now im worrying that its gonna come back in the same state.
Gulp
got my wizard back after having the screen replaced.
2 days later when ever i touch the bottom of the screen with pen, finger or even breath on it.
the screen goes off and the phone locks up and dies.
I have to take battery out and restart it and it then works great till i touch the bottom again.
Sound like a dodgy screen or something else.
Seems like a flexi strip(The one conecying the display to the mother board) sometimes if the strip develops a tear or is not properly connected this issue usually happens.
the shop doing the repair have said there is the following issues
1- padding issue on the screen (either too much or not enough)
2- Problems with the main board. (something on there is failling, hardware wise)
How the hell could this be happening on a device that was working perfectly
apart from the screen had died.
have they done more damage attempting the repair... I think so .!
I had the white screen 6 months ago. Luckily still under warranty period so got it repaired. It was the flexo-cable. since the fix no problem so far despites using the phone (also in landscape mode) daily.
when i got it back after the screen was replaced my xda worked great but as stated as soon as some preasure was applied to the bottom of the screen it would just die there and then.
I would have to take the battery out and then it would power on as normal
but again if i put presure on the bottom of the screen.. bang DEAD !
so sent it back to them and they told me what I stated above !
now waiting 2wks to hear what they are gonna do about it
not a happy bunny
still nothing back from the company thats doing the repair.
i dont know why they do this.
Im now thinking of getting my Xda back, selling it either on here or ebay and purchasing a new one.
Should i quit now or wait out for the miracle that they fix it completly.
Anyone in the uk reconmend a good repair company please im pulling my hair out.

theres your answer
I have an unlocked Cingluar 8525 (TyTn) I have had it for like 5 months now. Upgraded to WM6 as soon as I got in in July. Recently it has started slowing down and lagging a lot. So last night I restarted it cause it froze. When I did that it would freeze on the WM startup screen. So I rebooted while holding the 2 soft keys and then clicked yes to restore. That worked. Then today the phone fell off the arm rest of my couch onto carpet and I went to go send a message and it was all white. So I restarted and now everything is just a blank white screen, no startup logo or nothing. Has anyone had this problem before? I tried resetting it again and it didnt work. I have tried turning on with no sim card and same problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
It is all too common,
I've been told it is due to a loose connection between the ribbon that attaches the screen to the mother board.
I think its a design fault - the ribbon is linked to the two parts of the Hermes (screen and keyboard) and surely all that opening and closing is essentially moving something that is designed to be a static item. This I think weakens the ribbon connection, causing the white screen of death as I've nick named it.
Here is a link to dismantling the hermes to reconnect the ribbon.

Though you should know I attempted this tonight with very little success.
I still have the white screen issue. Its very frustrating that the reason I bought this phone (the slick keyboard action) is the reason I cant use it anymore.
Hope you have more luck that I did, Let me know...
PS - If you have never taken it apart before (I did to replace the screen) It should still be under warranty - or if yours is second hand - you could send it to apex laptops for repair.
i got a crash i resetted ther phone .
after that phone works but the screen stays verry dark.
as if the backlight is broken.
i can see verry little on screen since its just so dark.
phoen works i can get phone cals etc but i just cant see a thing.
whats the problem . is my screen broken ?
please explain the word "crash".
did it fell down or did just windows crash?
if windows crashed and it didnt fall down, you can call htc or go to the shop where you bought it.
DN41
i got an sms .
then phone stopped working .
the touch screen didnt work anymore and i had to take the battery out.
i put it back in and turned on phone.
phone worked but screen stayed dark , i can see something things on screen but its verry dark.
now i put it on the charger and battery was goin empty verry fast even thoug it was on the charger it didnt seem to recharge .
while in the charger the phone was getting verry hot also . so i cant do a thing now .
edit .
im thinking isnt it just possible that since the battery looks dead, that the screen just isnt getting enough power to be lighter ?
since both problems came at the same time i guess they must be connected in some way .
i mean is it possible that a new battery solves the problem or isnt it worht ordering a new battery ?
CRashed ...from a window
My phone crashed too... Crashed onto a carpetted floor from a window (about 5 feet) while being charged, and landed on the edge of a barbell. What was it doing there u ask? I wanted to get the best 3g reception thats why. I use it as my main modem/router y'see...
Yes i got a really dark screen too, and two vertical bright lights. the screen was alright, no cracks, nothing. but the buttons was dented since it landed on the barbell(which was on the floor ).
Sent to the shop and told me it'll cost me about 170usd to fix the lcd,..and said it's gonna cost another 50 usd to fix the touch screen. Knowing the shop was b.s'ing since i know the lcd could just be the only one affected so i plan to buy just the lcd. did a few practice disassembly, and eventually after the 3rd disassembly and reassembly the screen was completely dark...even if it did lit up, i cant see any image.. so i guess i'll just get the lcd+touch screen. since i dont wanna go through the hassle of soldering the fine connection anyway, i decided to buy the lcd+touchscreen online cositng about 140usd..
well, obviously mine's a hardware problem.. Buy yeah I'd say that the hd2 is sooooooooo fragile, your hd2 problem might be mainboard related.
ps. still waiting for my replacement lcd+touch.. who knows if mine is motherboard related too(since the buttons get hot, but i can still recieve calls+use as a modem)

if you can see the screen at all, you might check your backlight settings to make sure they didn't reset to like 10%.
Otherwise, I would take it in to get fixed. Sounds like the backlight died.
Have you hard reset to make sure it isn't a software issue?
