Okay, yeah I know I am an idiot... but, I had my 8525 in my back pocket and was drinking a lot. so i sat on it, and i think i crack the screen, doesn't really show... but it only shows multi-color lines.... Are there any good place I can send my phone in to be repaired? I don't have a reciept for the phone, still have the original box and stuff from Cingular. Any ideas or suggestions on a possible screen replacement?
It's not in bootloader mode is it? Does it have an SPL and IPL number on that screen?
no it's not in boot loader mode. I can dial with my BT headset and receive calls. I just can't see anything on the screen except for smudge multi color crap... I'm thinking the screen is jacked up.

I got the mda vario from tmobile uk. I dont know what happen. Different colour blue, red, white vertical lines that start from up to down. If I connect the device to the computer or to the charger the orange light is on. PLease HELP ME!!!
Sounds like a graphics hardware problem to me - but worth trying a hard reset first - turn device off, hold comm and record buttons at the same time, turn device on still holding buttons - text should appear on screen, press green (call) button and hard reset should begin. Make sure you have backed up any important data before you do this.
im having this problem too, but my lines turn black and only effect half the screen. It starts with the screen going fuzzy.
I've had this happen when the phone was charging and it caused temporary screen burn because i recieved a text.
I try hard reset but nothing. It changes a lot of colours...
Sounds like a graphics hardware problem means that there is no hope?
Thanks anyway!!!

Isnt it under warranty? If it is get it repaired - if not maybe a loose connector inside, could be worth a dis-assemble and push all the connectors tight. Or if your not up to that take it to someone that is.
Unfortunately I dont have any warranty!!!
I find the disassembling manual but do you know where can I find the screws and other staff in the uk? Do you have any idea?
Otherwise I live in York Uk, do you know any place near here?

Really need help here,
My hermes suddenly decided that visuals are no longer needed.
That means the screens stays off all the time (yes even in bootloader mode).
It works, receive calls and flashes roms but in no situation can I see anything on the screen (pitch black screen).
I've got no warranty so I took it apart and checked each cable and connector - no issues were seen. I tried changing SPL-s, RUU, Roms all worked but left my tytn with that black screen.
Did anyone see this happen or has any advice?
This sucks big time :-(
No one? Oh man, I guess it's dead then :-(
Last bump before giving up and throwing it away - please?
send it to me if your gonna throw it away : - 0
I've given up on mine as well. It has white screen though. Where do I dump this thing?
If it is out of warrenty, I would take it apart as is sounds like the hardware, check the connections to the LCD. Does the backlight still work, or if you put it in strong sunlight, can you see the LCD working?
My Hermes had a white screen also. I found that if I squeeze the bottom right hand corner whilst resetting it would sometimes work. It seems there is a chip on the switch board that needs the right ammount of pressure on it. I think it was a design flaw as the herm200 and 300 are different. If applying pressure works and you are confident enough take the hermes apart and put a couple of small pieces of plastic or paper between the front buttons and the small square chip on the switch board. This worked for me.
The service guide is available if you google. Let me know if you need more info.
As for the black screen that sounds more serious sorry not seen that one.
what are you guys willing to sell your pdas for? Mine fell in a puddle and i need one for parts. The white screen might be fixable the first couple of times but then it dies off for good, the black screen i've never heard of.
So if you want to sell for a reasonably cheap price let me know, i can buy a new keypad online for $50. So around there would be nice!

I just tested this on mine and actually got some results.
mines the opposite though, it will NOT work with any pressure. I left all the screws loose for that board under the buttons, and left the LCD assemble screws out on that end and it works, But if I press the keys it whites out again and won't come back until I repeat the dis-assemble/re-assemble
I had a similar problem but this was after someone dropped mine on the floor. The screen would just be white screen, while everything worked. If I pressed the bottom right of the phone it would sometimes come on and stay on for a little while but would eventually always go to white screen.
I did manage to use the phone but had use a program called Net Control which allowed me to control the phone over WIFI with the phone screen shown on the PC. Got the phone replaced in the end by the people who dropped it.
i got the flex cable and my phone still has the white screen problem....wtf///
Hi guru's... I have an HTC Touch that I have had for ages and still like (I want a 3G version of this phone, HTC) but I cracked the screen on the weekend and it's now all white, so can't see anything on it.
Until I look at getting it repaired or replaced, can anyone think of a way to turn Bluetooth on so that I can still use it in the car? I turn it off before I go away to save power. I have the CPU overclocker installed that has a little BT icon in the bottom right corner to let you turn it off and on, but I can't seem to jag the right position blind.
Anything I can do via my PC? Phone works perfectly otherwise...
Umm, just had a thought, anything via remote registry?
Simon....
No-one got any ideas? At $150-$200 to repair, I think I'll hang on to it for a while and see what new stuff comes out over the next few months...
Try something like MyMobilier or SOTI Pocket Controller...
Cero92, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou... MyMobile did the job perfectly.
Hello good folks,
I would like a bit of help with sorting my phone out. As of Thursday morning (2 AM or so) my phone has a black screen. The phone switches on, the touchscreen works (I can unlock it, put it to silent, hold the power key and tap the places on screen that would normally switch it off to do just that), the volume keys work, I can receive calls, the back light works.
Everything is as it should be, but I cant see a damn thing!
I should note that this happened once before, about a month ago and a few hours later it was back to normal. Also, I have noticed over the past few months a very small black circle at the top edge of the screen, about half a centimetre in diameter.
Please help!
Kindest regards.
It's the first time I read such an issue, your screen's probably defective.
To eliminate a probable OS issue, does the bootloader appear flawlessly ?
No, nothing appears at all. The screen is completely black at all times!
Your screen is malfunctioning, I don't know what's causing it and I don't know if you can fix it yourself either.
I think you are better off sending it back, if still under warranty.
Otherwise, ... ?
This just happened to me NOW....I'm waiting hopefully it will fix itself as i hear the HD2 heals itself LOL
A few weeks ago, my Galaxy S4 screen started flickering green and it would go back to normal when I would put the phone to sleep. Then yesterday, the screen went completely dead. The vibration motor, button backlights, speaker, and notification lights are responsive, also, I can feel the phone vibrating when I unlock my phone indicating that the touch screen does indeed work. The screen remains completely black through all processes, bootup, recovery, download mode, all black. Can anyone help me with where to begin in the repair process? My gut feeling is that it's the GPU.. is that possible? Is it the digitzer? I appreciate any advice as I have no warranty. :crying:
My guess would be that you need to replace the lcd.
