Hello just for information,
I broke my trinity screen and I baught a new screen to a HK seller and i replace it.
I had already flash the firmware (faman 3.6 full) before changing the screen.
So everything seems ok when I put the phone power on but As soon as I put the creen off, I am unable to put it on it appears every time in a complete white screen !!!! to have something on the screen I have to reboot the phone.
I just reflash the phone again with faman 3.6 and it's still the thame problem completly white after turn the screen off then on ...
I try also an official orange WM5 (gps active) and the screen work's well i try after to switch again in WM6 and it doest work :white screen again ...
Can every one help me ?
@ Rich: Check the 'How to dissamble the Trinity' thread. Are your sure that the LCD is broken ? Could also be just the digitizer (USD 8 at cnn.cn.shop).
If you succeed to dissamble the display you should be able to attach a new digitizer.
The only problem are the two black levers ... (one for the display cable, one for the digitizer).
Good luck

I cracked my Trinity screen with a bad golf swing. Then I bought a replacement screen on ebay, found a disasembly guide, took my trinity apart, replaced the screen, put everything back together, and it works fine! cost me 70 EUR to fix it.
do it following the disassembly guide - taking the trinity apart is rather complicated, you will not figure it out by yourself.
Sometimes I wonder what the engineers drink before designing such complex assemblies!

Hi
I have a Qtek 9000 and recently I broked the display. As I had the service manual I thought I coud replace the display by myself. I bought a new LCD + touch screen on ebay and the replacing of the LCD was easy and went quite well. The lcd works fine but the touch screen don't. I cheked and clean all the contacts but couldn't make the touch screen work.
So I wrote de seller and we agree to send back de display and receive a new one that he will test bofore posting.
I placed this new display and the problem remais the same. The lcd works fine but the touch screen don't, so I think the problem could not be here.
I made a hard reset and even downgraded to the original ROM but the touch screen still not working.
Can anyone help me with this
Thanks
Have you tried the touchscreen side of things before re-asembling the casing?
I have had problems with the seal on the casing around the screen activating the touch screen permanently - so that it runs really slow (if at all) when using the keypad.
damn, did you get the touch screen to work at all?
which LCD + touch did you buy from ebay? hopefully we can avoid this seller and get something that works.
ever thought of buying the touch screen separately and putting that on?
Let us know how it goes.
whitemoo.
after disasembling/asembling device had the same ussie with touch,after a cup of hours using it.
armandoramos try to open,when UNI works,only a part of UNI with LCD(look page 21 in service manual-bottom picture,page 22 & page 23-middle picture),then try how works your touch.If it works-you just had pinch the LCD coaxial cable module.
i had a problem with my touch screen, i was lucky enough to find a second hand uni in a local market with a busted lcd but working TS.
i swopped over the TS and re-assembled my uni, one thing i did have to add was a tiny piece of foam between the ribbon cable assembly and the case, this was to push the two ribbon cable sections (TS and LCD) together, for a better connection, relying on the sticky bits alone was not enough.
hope this helps.
Hi All...my Display gets looser and looser. (excuse me for my bad english)
Now I still have my old universal, on which the display was broken. Now I want te replace the display of my old universal with my new (1 year old) universal. I got the service manual (pdf) but when reading it I must say that it looks pretty difficult to replace the screen...
so my question if anyone had experience replacing the screen?
Regards
Arjan
Hello Arjan,
I've had my Exec in pieces quite a few times trying to fix a faulty touch screen issue.
It is quite easy to take apart and remove the screen. There should be no more than four screws to remove and the case just unclips.
The screen itself is easily removed once the case is apart. There are just three small ribbon connectors to remove. Your new screen will just slot in and you can put the connectors back on.
Clip the case back together and put the screws back in.
It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to do it carefully. After I'd done it once it took me no more than five minutes.
Good Luck.
Thanx for the reply....
will give it a try
Hi Lakota
I replaced the screen by a new one (lcd + touchscreen) bougt on ebay but the touchscreen didn't work. After cheked all the connections I sent it back to the seller and got a new one, but the problem remains the same. Do you have any idea of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
its the csble running down from screen to jasjar. when sreen get twisted wrong way it breaks the cable inside jasjar. send to pocketpctechs.com for excellent service bro. they will even call u if there are any other issues with your device so when you receive all will be working bro.
hi everybody.
some weeks ago i bought a new casing for my trinity on ebay. as I had to open my trinity while on a long trip far away from home and htc tech support (the "hang up" button broke), i had already broken my guarantee. so i decided to change the casing myself. i managed to do that (it was not easy!!) and closed the casing and everything was alright, but some days later trinity started to have graphics issues. sometimes it hangs and the display gets kind of scrambled, when i reset it it posssibly doesn't show anything on the screen or it hangs during the boot, sometimes it helps simply shutting the device down and restarting, sometimes it helps pressing the left side of the casing (front and back casing elements) together.
what can that be? at the moment it works alright, but this is not ok for me. somebody with hardware know-how can tell me which part can be the "bad one" and what i can do to fix that? i don't want to pay the repair fee at htc tech partner, and i want to wait till the htc touch cruise is available to buy a new one!
thanks
christoph
ESD?

Hi, I did similar thing...I assembled my trinity to change case to white. After the LCD did not work at all.
Of course service said, I broked garantee, and there is some problem with LCD cable plug.
what did the repair cost?
did you go to HTC? did they change the display plug?
it's a very subtle error in my case...
How To Disassemble HTC P3600
I also want to change my casing.
From what I hear ... this may be not such a good idea.
Hoever ... all I can help with is this disassemble manual for HTC P3600 (http://rapidshare.com/files/82751326/How_To_Disassemble_HTC_P3600__Trinity_.pdf.html).
Maybe disassembling, cleaning all the plugs and assembling it again can help (sounds stupid ... but who knows).
thanks ..
one of the problems with the casing i bought was that the metal counterparts of the screws were not(!) present in the new one. so i had to cut them out of the old one, heat them and press them into the new case. luckily, i had ordered two new casings (to change it again after some months when the grey/silver paint would have fell off till total aesthetic destruction - of this otherwise really slick phone - again), because trying to press that counterpart (don't know the word) without heating resulted in total damage
then I had hoped that not only the keypad, but also the electronics plate under the keypad (my "hang up" button still isn't perfect i have no "klicky" feel any more) would be included. no luck here.
so everybody please stay away from trying to change casings or any other hardware issue with your htc phones. i am opening my htc/qtek (before: s100, three units) phones for a longer time now and must say i will stop doing that and return to being a "normal" user. it all gets worse
thanks
I just remembered ... take a look at this site: http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
All the stuff looks genuine ... maybe this casing will fit you better and there are spare touch screens also.
P.S. White casing DOES NOT peel.

I went to E-care, the HTC support in Hungary. I was lucky, the expert repaired it free, but in the future there is no garantee
Lucky you ... there is HTC support where you live
my LCD screen broke.
I have replaced my LCD screen because it was cracked, the new screen does not even power up. I can hear wm6 running in the background but the digitizer nor the screen seem to be responding at all. If use the old screen it seems to work fine.
Any ideas or comments on how to get this new screen working?
btw, I have a gen1 htc p3600.

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!
I have just got my replacement digitizer in the mail 2day from Hong Kong and installed it just now, all is working perfectly as new again. I did a hard reset when the touch screen was first playing up, so I have lost all my themes, settings etc but luckily my office docs etc are still intact.
Anyhow, I made a video on how to replace the touch screen, its only quick as I did not go from the disasembly part, as there is already videos and tutorials on this, so I just documented on the actual digitizer replacement, which is actually basic 2-5mins work, but I thought a vid would be good for any noobs needing it in the future.
Once I edit it all up I will post the video here.
If anyone needs help on replacing the digitizer just ask. DON'T be tricked into buying the LCD + Digitizer if you only need the touch screen, as it is very easy to do without the lcd, though some ppl disagree.
Thanks for reading, thread will be updatd with Vid asap.
Hi X86
I have a crack on the upper plastic case, thats prob. why I have dirt showing on screen. In your opinion where is it located and can I clean it ?
It seems as if (if the crack is on the actual original housing, not just a add-on case) that dirt/dust has fallen down inbetween the digitizer and the LCD, so you can see it through the touchscreen right?
This is fairly simple to fix, you will either need to patch up the crack with silicone or something (best from the inside so it does'nt look messy) OR buy yourself a whole nw housing which cost about US15-$20.
Then just pull your elf/in apart and use cotton tips and wipes to thoroughly clean the LCD and insides.
If you need any help, just let me know via PM or here.
?Good Luck!
Thanks
That was my feeling, now I just need courage to take apart the casing (either repair or replace )
Thanks for bringing up this issue in the forum and extending your hand to others.
I appreciate it alot.
Hi x86
I have read the sticky for disassembling the elf. Can you tell me if it's necessary to unscrew anything and remove the rear speaker in order to remove the front panel ?
Edit: I think I found the answer in the next pics, the 4 screws attach to the front panel, right ?
Hi, i've just entered the world of winmo. i've recently wrecked my Elfin. But i can't seem to figured it out whether it's the LCD or the digitizer is broken...
1) my Elfin's screen turns to white with a few red and black stripes on the lower left corner, it doesn't react to any touch gesture.
2) i can still activesync the device and seems that my SD card is still working, i could copy out my PIMcontacts...thank goodness
3) the alarm still rings the next morning, i assume my device is still operating, of course now i've taken out the battery.
4) i've ask the phone shop for repair enquiries and they said that the replacement parts are not for retail selling in my country, Malaysia... so it needs to send back my Elfin to OEM and takes about 3 weeks time and cost around USD $ 130 bucks....
5) my friends told me it wasn't worth it, thus i was thinking of looking for help online and finally i found this thread...
6) can anyone offer few pieces of info? i thank you 1st.

That sounds like both a Digitizer and LCD issue.
Red and white strips is caused by the screen, while the phone not sensing your fingers is caused by digitizer.
But you still managed to use something like mymobiler to rescue your stuff right?
Yeah, you're in Malaysia right? In Singapore, to get this items, we have to get it off ebay or dealextreme.com.
But be careful with this, it void warrenty.
If you send it to HTC service centre, it may cost $160> Singapore dollars.
Cheers,
Jeremy
