I recently replaced the housing because of the dents and scratches on my old one with one a purchased off ebay, i used an htc universal assembly manual but when i completed changing the fascia and booted the device again i went to turn the screen round (to pda mode) and the screen didn't automatically turn itself round like it used to. This wasn't due to going slow as soon as you change the screen round and tap start menu it reacts normally.
Could this be because of the way the coaxile cable was put back? thanks.
I think there is a magnet somewhere to recognize the screen to turn around when you put in on PDA mode..I could be wrong.

I dropped my phone and the screen now doesnt respond properly: The hardware DID successfully upgrade to the XDA ROM. But touching it causes the backlight to go on, - but most of the keys dont do what one would expect them to do: The phone turns on with a reminder from the calendar on the screen which wont DISMISS or CLOSE. Pressing on the windows logo and then on the phone key causes the calendar to come up and I am not sure which numbers are entered when I do manage to get the phone to come onto the screen (none of the right hand numbers seem to work at all). Does anyone recognise these symptoms and/or could they just show that my SX-56 needs the ROM RE-flashing? I should add that pressing the Master Reset button with this ROM in place seems to make the phone shut off and then when you restart it, all of the data remains in place. I wonder if there is any possibility that the XDA ROM has prevented the reset button from working normally?
A user on another forum said that to him, '"Sounds like the digitiser is up the swanee - have you tried recalibrating it?"
10-12 vertical black lines started appearing to the right hand edge of the screen. Sometimes they are there, sometimes not. THere is usually at last one there somewhere. At about that time the screen stopped responding as I mention. Today the left third started displaying the same veritcal lines, though spaced quite far apart (about a millimetre). Screen doesn't APPEAR cracked: Does this sound like a digitiser and if so, how do you recalibrate it please or is there a link to somewhere on the XDA site which I cant find which might tell me? Or could it be the cable is loose in the circuit board? As you touch the lower right hand corner of the metal casing where the vertical lines are, those lines flash (the right 10 or 12) on and off. And every coloured bar everywhere on the screen or word of text has vertical lines on it (the white parts don't)??
Someone on ebay has said that his phone "fell from my pocket and onto the carpet and the screen cracked, I then used it for about a week" "I sold the screen to someone cause the wanted the touch pad part of the screen for there phone". and wonder what it was he sold or which part can be replaced on it? IS there a touch part and a screen part on this phone?
To be honest, itsounds like you have brocken a connection somewhere between the LCD and the gfx output, probably not possible to repair yourself.
I wonder where the break would be?
I thought that might be the case: I wonder if it would be worthwhile trying to get another screen?
I should probably try to take the unit apart and see if some break somewhere can be identified if it is a break as opposed to some electonic part having failed. It SEEMS to be in the lower right hand corner?
A few months ago the screen on my SPV M600 took a knock which cracked it pretty badly, to the point it couldn't be used. I've rebuilt two other HTC phones in the past so felt fairly happy buying and fitting a replacement screen myself, along with the fact Orange wanted well over £100 for repairing it!
I dismantled the phone back to the screen to find it had a gold LCD cable and bought a new one on eBay.
I've now tried fitting the screen which works perfectly when the phone is still appart, but when I put the casing back together the screen goes blank. The exact point it happens is when I'm clipping the side of the phone with the volume control into place. The screen gets very bright as if the backlight is either getting too much power from somewhere or the backlight setting isn't taking effect. If I set the backlight to minimum it's most noticable as it goes from dull to full brightness when I apply pressure between the screen and board on that side of the phone.
I've tried sliding a piece of card between the screen and board to see if there was something touching that shouldn't be, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
If anyone could offer me any advice on how to solve this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
I think I've solved it, I hadn't put a layer of the copper from the back of the old LCD onto the new one. It seems to be working fine now.
Like the topics states my 8125 will fade the screen every time I slide my keyboard open. It does it about halfway through the slide. Also practically non of the buttons on the front work anymore. I was told the ribbon cable may be loose, so I took it apart. I got all the way until the back of the screen seperates from the screen. I was pulling that apart and it didnt want to come so I just stoped in fear of breaking something. It was almost as if glue was holding a board on. Anyways I looked around as best I could and did not see anything. When I turned it back on it started right up but still fades out when slide open. Its been doing this for some time now and I just got back into the the cell phone thing rather then purchasing a new one. NBD ROM but the problem existed way before changing anything on the phone. Any help would be great. TIA
ttt anyone??
You will have to use a clipper preferably a plastic one to seperate the black back panel of the LCD housing,insert the clipper from the side and then run it along the entire panel till the six(i think) clamps unlock,then gently pry the back panel off taking care not to cut the flexi strip,that should do.It is most unlikely that it is a software issue,85% its a strip problem and 15% maybe because of the LCD.
Any chance you mean the ribbon cable when u say strip?
I have had the cable off and visualy looks ok.
any chance there is a replacement cable that I can purchace somewhere?
I am currently in discussions with the screen's vendor about the issue, but I figure somebody might have some advice to offer here too. I purchased a replacement screen for my Vogue after I cracked the factory LCD. Touch membrane was fine.
Opened the phone, pulled out the old LCD, replaced with new one, etc. At first, the "new" screen seemed to not power on at all - then after several cycles of open phone/test connections with old LCD/rebuild with new LCD I finally got the backlight on, yet the display itself seems to not be working. There is an ever so slight greenish glow in the bottom left corner of the replacement screen when the backlight was on.
Several hours later, during which time the phone just sat on my desk idle (but on) I hit the power button to turn on the screen and was dismayed that the backlight did not come on (simmilarly to how it was originally.) I am certain the phone was assembled correctly, all connections are secure, etc.
The vendor suggested adjusting brightness/contrast settings, which I skeptically tried to no avail with MyMobiler. So at this point, the backlight seems to work when it wants to and the display seems to not work well at all.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
I want my second screen to be on when the main screen is off. Second screen works fine when main screen is on. When I turn off the main screen, the second screen changes for a split second (you know how it changes to signature/time?) and then goes black. BUT it still works. From memory, I can swipe to quick toggles and turn on/off my flashlight and it works. But the second screen stays black.
This started after I replaced my cracked screen. After swapping it with a replacement, I was having a bunch of issues with the proximity sensor (second screen off when main is off, knock on wouldn't work, fingerprint wouldn't work, sensor app always said 0cm). I fixed these by moving over the little rubber gasket from my old screen, but the second screen still doesn’t work.
Second screen daily timeout is disabled. I wiped dalvik/cache from recovery. Rebooted multiple times. Opened it back up and reconnected the display ribbon cable. Tested the display and sensors from the hidden service menu.
Any advice?? I'd like to troubleshoot further before doing a hard reset (I have so many mods installed lol). This second screen is why I haven't upgraded the phone yet...
You forgot to put the rubber gasket for the proximity sensor back in. Without it, you'll see exactly the problems you are now. Search eBay for LG V20 Rubber Gasket Holder and you'll see the part I'm talking about. If you put it back in it will fix these issues. It's a common problem with the LG V20 screen repair.
