I have problem with my camera after changing whole Main Board in Service. Unfortunately I didn't tested camera with orignal ROM so I don't know if it's HW problem or WM6 problem.
Picture is broken to (mainly) green boxes (see attachments). It already happend with my previous MB and WM6 ROM, but problem disappeared without any intervent from outside. Any Idea what it is and what to do?
I got the same Problem
I got the same problem still trying to find a fix.. flashed my rom a few times and still no change ruuning schap's 4.00 wm6.
Hope to find a solution..
It looks like a software fault but how or were can one find a fix..
I got the same but before it was working fine :s could be because i dropped it a few times to many? not sure though works fine on black satin but now i got the the green blocks to
That does not look like anything to do with the ROM or indeed any software setting. I'd say that's a hardware matter - BUT hopefully just the connection between camera and m/board. If you have no guarantee/warranty then I suggest removal of and refitting the camera.
You'll need to remove the scroll wheel assembly first.
Scroll wheel assembly removed exposing the camera multi-connector. (This connection is the problem I think).
Make sure this connector is flat and firmly inserted.

This happens to me occasionally. normally when the battery is low.
Though it did happen for a little while after my phone decided it needed to go play in a puddle last christmas. Once it dried out it was fine
i got this when i dropped my handset at first after i dropped this. with with a bit of brute force and a few dropps after it works fine again
Like the above post saying it it nothing to do with the rom or any software it is the connection between the camera and motherboard

all was ok till yesterday.. sudendly... the camera mode is showing green bars.. vertical or horizontal.. what can be the problem.. i tried softreset..
Sounds like faulty hardware but backup your data and try a hard reset first of all.
I had the same problem. Turning the phone off (although not intentionally -- I was switching SIMs so that I had to remove the battery) and back on solved the problem.
i had the same problem
I still have the same problem... I took the phone to be fixed under warranty for 4 times... they changed the camera modules twice.. and the last time they changed the whole board.. still..same problem!
now it turns out that if I give the camera a couple of hits on the table when it is showing green bars, it goes back to normal... but that's no solution...
any ideas ?!?!
I Have the same problem with my JasJam, did get hold of a Dopod main board and fixed the problem. The Camera inside the JasJam, ( had it replaced 3 times too, ) doesn't have any padding on the connector like the Dopod does. However i suspect the Camera ROM may be corrup if anyone has a copy of a new ROM for the camera i would be more than happy to change the JASJAM board back in and give it a go as i cannot access Teltras Buisness Portal and Foxtell with the Dopod IMEI. The required software wont install without the linked Imate IMEI
Sounds like the camera needs to be plugged back in to the mainboard. It may not be pushed in properly causing your problems.
Use the HTC Service Manual to take apart what you need, You will need to remove the battery and back cover, and then fix it. You can test by fixing the battery in place and testing before you replace the back cover (I use a hair band to hold the battery in place).
Cheers...

Yeah, definatly the cause in the Imate, the Dopod camera has a small amount of padding so it can't Knock out, but with frequent fiddling i think i allso corrupted my ROM...I'm a silly bugger the camera seems to operat off a CMOS oh well... will have to find a workaround for the Dopod board then
Corrupted ROM shouldn't matter if you have Hard SPL installed. Use sd card method to reflash a rom you like.

Hello guys ... never thought i`d post a problem thread but here i am.
Here is the situation: sometimes the screen graduately fades to black&white vertical lines. It happens 90% of the time i use the volume key in Today screen, sometimes it happens sudently when i`m navigating windows menus (Programs, Settings), and oftenly in iGo (2006). Problem doesn't ocur when the keyboard is out.
I have searched but nobody seems to have this problem.
P.S. Attached a zip with a short movie of what exactly happens, maybe someone has a solution.
I thought a OS upgrade would solve the problem, but it didn`t (i recently upgraded to TNT WM 6.1). Could it be my wizard is a G4 and i used soft spl to upgrade? (didn't install a original rom before upgrade)
I have a different screen problem. My touch screen does not recognize when I do try to use touch selection using my finger or stylus. Anyone with any suggestions?
I`ve found a thread on the HTC Hermes forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163
It seems to be a loose display connector, or not sufficient pressure on it. Hope i`ll get the time to disassemble the wizard to see if i can fix the darn think.
Nobody else with this problem, or other solutions?
Yep, same problem, found the same solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
too scared to fix it
I took the darn thing apart a couple of months ago, and noticed that the problem is with the display cable ... when the slide is closed, the cable is bent (at 180 deg), and probably the cable wires have thinned. (the problem never appeares with the slide open.
Didn`t think of a way to fix that darn bend, so i`m back at square one. Did notice though that the fadeing seems to be in direct connection with the backlight setting.
I have had the same problem as the first post and now I've got the problem of the second, any ideas?
Try flashing the 2.19er Radiorom, that solved this problem for me.
I have Dopod 818 Pro..
Suddenly, my SD slot isn't working, I already soft reset, Hard reset, Upgrade ROM from WM5 to WM6.1. Nothing is working,
so does the bluetooth. Everytime i enable the BT, its back to disabled.
My prophet is never dropped or damaged. it happened suddenly.
Any idea for solutions??
Same fault here. All was working OK, then it seriously corrupted an SD card to the extent that it can no longer be read by anything (I've not tried it with an other one yet). Also, Bluetooth will not switch on. The busy icon appears and it spins for 20 seconds, then just returns to OFF.
Radio rom downgraded back to 2.19.21
Hard SPL'd to 2.g4.4pda
Same fault in all WM5, 6 and 6.1 roms tested
*This began to happen _after_ I took the thing apart to clean and investigate the LCD high pitch whistle* Something has not bee put back correctly
Are there any images of the inside with significant items such as BT aerial etc highlighted? I need to get in there and look for bad connections.
I've fixed my BT problem (touch wood).
When reassembling the pda, the aerial panel surrounding the camera and speaker, was not put back into place correctly. There are three separate aerials on it.
Looking at the panel assembled in the phone, there is a small strip aerial to the right hand side, this has a single leg that extends down to contact a pad on the pcb. I'm guessing that this is the BT aerial by process of elimination
The leg got bent when removing the panel and did not make contact when reassembled. I also noticed that over tightening the two top screws will deform the panel and cause similar problems.
I now have working BT and the SD card reader has not caused any further problems.
wll, ive never open the PDA, and it happened suddenly. Im afraid to open the whole prophet to check whats goin on in there..
i0i, can you please explain me again step by step, by using picture? so i can understand completely of what you said ..hopefully i can rescue mine thanks
There is a good guide to taking apart the Prophet over at Modoco, the link is in the Prophet wiki. Otherwise there is a link to the service manual here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385944
It contains good photos and instructions. Like I said, my identification of the BT aerial is not 100%, it is only a guess based on things that work and don't work. I would not want to post photos with arrows that might be wrong. If you take it apart and look at the aerial panel then my description should be pretty clear.
Reading through the Service Manual and some posts in this forum it appears that battery voltage might be an issue with some of the more "mechanical" functions of the Prophet. Checking your battery for low voltage might be a wise step before cracking open the case. All kinds of bits ping off and it never goes back together absolutely correctly
Hi guys!
Long time no post!
I hope you can help point me in the right direction.
Two things started happening with my 8525 TyTN, rendering it unusable. I do have a backup one, so it's no panic. But I would LOVE to try to repair this.
Here's what happens!
1 - The two LEDs in front don't work! No green; no blue; no amber. (HOWEVER, When I first replaced the battery after a hard reset, I did see is glow red for a second!)
2 - None of the buttons on the front work! None. Start/End, the D-pad, mail, internet explorer. All dead!
Interestingly enough... the LCD screen is perfect, as is the touch screen.
The unit also works perfectly fine.
I did a Hard Reset.
I am using WM6.0.
I am wondering... PERHAPS there is some kind of ZIF cable that goes from the body to the top panel? MAYBE that came loose?
If you have seen inside your TyTN, is there one cable/ribbon for lights/buttons?
If so, that would explain it!
If there are two cables/ribbons.... one for lights, one for buttons, then the odds of them BOTH falling out are near impossible!
I would LOVE to hear any ideas or thoughts!!!
Thanks as always!!!!!
Mike
Hello and welcome to a new phone!
I have a similar problem, mine sometimes gets a white screen and the D-pad buttons rarely work for long.
It is quite possibly a loose ribbon cable.
There is actually a thread here about this issue - just do a search for 'white screen' or similar and you'll find it. It was posted to within the week so shouldn't be far from the top if you browse for it, but I can't remember which Herme's category it was in.
There's even a full guide with pics to pulling your 8525 apart!
Cheers! Oggy. ó¿ó
try a new rom,.
I have the same problem. I thought it was bcs my TyTN fell down once. It started with Iexplorer always popping up when I wanted to do something. I thought the IE button at the top was stuck or something and when I pressed hard on the message button everything was okay. All buttons worked. But after a few days they stopped working and pushing the message button wont work also. And both the red and green call button leds are always shining. It sometimes happens that the dpad works for a second and than nothing.
I used the original wm5 and flashed to 6.1 now, no change tho.
it's not the rom, tried several roms now
for me it's just the call answer button, but this is annoying enough
there are some topics in the hermes section which describe the problems you encounter or even worse problems (the lcd flickering or just giving you a bright shining white) and they all say it is a loose cable connector right under your dpad
some of them opened their tytn (guarante already gone) and put some sort of paper or rubber or sth else on the connector.
other say tighten or loosen the screews worked for them, but none of the solutions seem to be final, it always works for some time.
if you have still guarantee i would try sending back or try somewhere else a repair, that is what i will do with tytn
i hope i do not have to pay for the repair
good luck
Loose screw
I was able to fix this problem after ATT told me that I was out of warrenty and it was going to cost 499.00 for a new phone.
I it turn out it is a loose screw on the inside and to get to it you have to undue 11 screw to get to it. I might be able to fix it for you. I dought you would be able to get into this phone and not hurt any of the other functions.

Hi,
could you advise how you managed to fix it?
Thanks.
button failure and white screen
I have the same problems, if I turn off and on for 3/4 times everything back to normal. But is really annoying because I miss calls.
To me seems a software issue.... I can solve it by turning off the screen does not make sense hardware problems
have a look to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435281
I have still to test the suggestion of schaps advance config version 2.02.1.0.0
Sorry it not a software issue and you can flash a 100 roms and it still won't work. You simply have a bad flex cable and possibly a defective dpad circuit board. You have to crack open the phone to replace it and it has to be carefully done. There are tons of DIY's about opening the phone and replacing the cable. There are even YouTube Videos about it.
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,
Bump back to the top!
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.
