Hi Everyone,
Ive recently purchased a prophet that had a broken lcd screen. I took apart my O2 XDA Mini and switched the screen around with the prophet, as they both use the same screen from what I am aware.
The prophet booted all okay but the screen quality/ resolution is not showing up correctly.... the thing is ive tested all the functions in the device and everything is working as it should be. Hard reseted the prophet took it apart to ensure that the screen to the mainboard was secured and all is fine.
Does anyone have any ideas i could try or know of the problem? will a rom upgrade help?
Thanks!
Okay so just skimming through the forums on cracked screens, it appears that it may be a problem with the ribbon.
I've read something about gold and silver/black ribbons, the two types appear to be the same physically but different in type.
If someone could enlighten me in this i would greatly appreciate it.
Okay just thought i'd update that i replaced the lcd screen with a second gen lcd and that did the job....
Although everything works and seems fine... the screen does appear slightly off colour nothing major but it is more noticeable when in camera mode.
Does anyone or has anyone experienced anything similiar... input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Hi to everyone.
I dropped my wizard and lcd broke so I bought a new one and put it on. The problem is that although it takes phone calls and it syncs to pc, the screen is always white with nothing written..only a white screen. I do not know whether another problem occured besides the broken lcd. I tried to disassemble and reassemble it again but with no success. Any help please?
Hi, If my understanding is correct there are 2 versions of LCD for the Wizard. Are you sure that you have the right one? I'm sorry that I am unable to offer any further advice except to say that if the phone 'phones' and 'syncs' the basics must be working. Also the white screen means that the backlight is working - the problem is the LCD drive. Perhaps worth checking with your replacement supplier that they sent you the correct part?
Good luck!
OK I have had my T-mobile Wing aka HTC Herald since last April.
Just a few days ago I encountered a problem with my lcd. And I would like your guys feedback if possible before I purchase an lcd replacement.
My problem is when I slide open the wing my screen starts to fade, (almost making it look like a negative from a picture) after that it starts to fade to different colors.
Now the problem persists when the phone is closed, however if I tap the top of my wing and hold it the screen becomes normal, but once I let go it starts to fade again.
I would like to know if any of you experienced this with ur phone and if a replacement lcd screen will fix the problem or am I sol?
If it helps im running my wing on Open Touch v6.0 WM 6.1 Build 20273.1.3.3
Thanks in advance.
LCD problems
Hello,
I too have some weird LCD problems and instead of creating a new thread I thought of posting in this one.
For the past few months, whenever I get a call or resume my phone from standby mode using the power button the entire screen goes white or sometimes it has green or blue colored lines all over them. I have to keep on pressing the power button few times to get proper display. Also whenever I open the qwerty keyboard the display goes blank. Since I am out of warranty Tmobile is not ready to replace the phone and I contacted the HTC customer service and they told that the display unit and some hardware stuff is gone and it needs to be replaced and will cost a minimum of 170$ and will increase if they had to replace some other hardware.
Please note that, my screen is NOT broken and the touch screen too works fine. Recently the display has gone completely blank or too faded even to see whats there in the screen I could barely see the today screen.
I searched and I did not find any similar issues that other folks have faced. Since the LCD and the touch screen is not broken replacing them is not going to fix the issue, correct? I was using open touch and recently I updated the latest official Tmobile release of ROM 6.26.xxx. I also tried the hard resets too.
Any other ideas/suggestions will be of great help for me. Thanks in advance.
I am having some similar problems as well, but my problem is much more severe. My screen is completely black and it just happened this past weekend. When i slide the phone the screen used to flicker but now it black as well. Phone works fine but is useless due to the fact the the screen is out. I remember seeing a program where you can interact with your phone via your pc when something was wrong w/ your screen (cracked, broken, etc.) I have searched the forum but to no avail. The program was very simple and effective. I plan on replacing my phone but would like to retrieve some info off the one I have. I just need that program! Anyone please HELP US!

Hi to all,
I have strange problem with my Elf. My screen stopped responding and I thought that the problem is the digitizer. Hard reset didn't help. I ordered a new one and changed it. Unfortunately the situation remained the same. So I got the same working phone from a friend and decided to change some parts to find out where the problem is. The result is..
My front panel(with the new and after that with the old digitizer) connected to the working phone - not responding screen.
My phone connected to the working front panel - not responding screen.
I have no idea what to do. If anyone can help. Exclude the warranty.
There is a small battery on the motherboard. Does anyone know its functions?
I have a suggestion that it is something like cmos battery of the PC.
My idea is to remove it for a while and make new hardware initialization.
I am not sure about that.
I doubt that there is something with the touch screen controller(TSC2046). Is there any way to reset it?
Hi everybody,
I recently received a Qtek 9100 from a friend, but I'm having some issues with it.
Firstly, it has Windows Mobile 6.5 installed and I'd like to revert to the OEM version, 5.0, hoping for it to be less buggy, but I could not find a decent method. Could anyone advise, please?
Secondly, I'm having some issues with the display. At first I suspected a hardware issue, now I'm not that sure about it.
So,... after freezing (as WM6.5 seems to have this function really well implemented), I reset the device and instead of the boot screen I got a flickering light screen with all sorts of horizontal and vertical lines. I checked with eBay, found a new screen at a decent price and just as I was about to order the new screen, the display started working again, until last night when a soft reset sent it back where we started from, meaning all sorts of lines.
Now I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue such as a bad contact, or the lines are caused by the damn WM6.5. I'm leaning towards the hardware problem, since the boot loader doesn't show properly either.
Any advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
It can be Omap overclocking. Try to look at the wiki for a original rom for your phone
it's hard to say what rom it had since i got it with wm6.5.
i found a link on this forum to a file called RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cingular.rar
it seems to be one of the many originals, so i'll try to flash this one as soon as i can figure out the connection issue with ActiveSync. I tried both 4.0 and 4.5 but they both fail to connect i need to fix the pda's display (or wait until it solves itself, like the previous time) in order to troubleshoot the connection error
Can you get into bootloader?
no, i keep getting those flickering horizontal and vertical lines. the odd piece is that anything else besides the connection seems to work. my guess is that the active sync connection can be solved via connection manager, but since i cannot see a damn thing... it's gonna be complicated.
my best guess is to buy a new display from ebay since i found some real cheap ones ($9) and replace it, hoping this would solve the hardware issue.
is there anybody else who got those mad lines? perhaps there's a less complicated solution to this problem that you would like to share
apparently, this is not a common issue, good to know
nobody had horizontal and vertical flickering lines?
I have been searching the forums and have not found anything with this particular problem. After replacing the screen, everything works as far as function but the screen has no darkness to it, everything is really really white. Can still see some things but overall this isn't right. Anyone has some tips or advise let me know! Thanks in advance!
Update: Took new screen out and put old cracked screen back, everything back to normal. Maybe different types of screen or versions or whatever. Website where ordered said for AT&T Tilt. We'll see how returning goes.
