Hi,
I dropped my Orange network SPV M3100 (on NYE of all times! ) & now have a white screen instead of a functioning phone!
When I fire it up after it's been turned of for some time, the Orange ROM splash screen appears, followed by the Microsoft Windows mobile 5 screen, but it then defaults to the white screen. I can still synchronise the device with my pc and the screen lights up when I touch it, I just can't see anything on it.
The contract is nearly up on this device and as I have already broken two of them, I'm reluctant to claim on the insurance yet again so would like to look at repairing it.
Any ideas gratefully recieved.
Cheers
Mike

Hey guys,
ActiveSync wasn't finding my phone last night, so I soft reset it. When it started up, it's stuck on white screen (where the blue, windows mobile screen should be). ActiveSync cannot see the phone at all.
I've read the post: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I've put it into bootloader menu (SPL 1.09) and connecting the USB cable changes "serial" to "USB"
Windows XP finds "HTC USB Sync" device and ActiveSync's wheels start turning.
A few seconds later, ActiveSync stops wokring, saying the device can't connect.
All I want is to recover my SMSs, the rest I don't care.
Is there a way to connect to the phone's files in 'HTC USB Sync' (bootloader) mode??
*crosses fingers*please say yes, please say yes*
All the best,
Dax.
i have the same problem!
I managed to upgrade to 1.09 while stuck in this white screen... is there any fix to the white screen?
The other forum post didnt work, tried the battery off for 20mins, the usb plugged in with no battery (phone doesnt even turn on this way)

please help you brainy guys
Have you tried to flash from SD card... There is a guide i WIKI.
yeah, I had to hard reset and lose my data
i also have the white screen. it just died one day, at the time i didnt even know about roms and i'd never heard of this site.
any help getting it mended would be well appreciated.
Hi Toppy,
Try pulling battery out, other than that, only thing to do is a hard reset.
Sorry
Details for a hard-reset should be easy to find on this board.
Great reason to backup frequently.
(I use PIMBackup 2.5 everynight at 4am and sbp backup twice a week at 4:30am)

Creation magic,
Did you follow my suggestions?
My phone gives me white screen every now and then when I reset it. I simply reset again and it's fine.
Seems to occur more frequently the longer I leave the phone without total formatting. (It's Windows - it needs ocassional formatting)

Hi,
I bought my TyTN 6 months ago. I upgraded it to WM 6 from HTC update and and few weeks later during wirting a text message my screen went white and I couldn't do nothing. I restarted it after 15 minutes and I discovered that all data is gone. I got plain OS.
From that time the situation was accuring again, but after few seconds it was working ok and white screen was disapearing. I was using different OS versions, as well as Shap's form 3.54 up to 4.31 but it on every the situation become the same.
I contacted with HTC but still i didn't get any reply. Any idea what the problem could be? Is it the screen? Please help...

It's probably flex cable problem. There's been a few issues this type.

im having the same problem with my softbank xo1ht. if i hard reset screen returns but after about 15-30 mins screen fades to white and i cant see anything or use any function??? please advise
My screen was going white like for almost a week (coincidentally after going through airport security xray). I called for a warranty replacement and wouldn't you know it, after I called I have yet to see the white screen on the old one.
Are your hard buttons (d-pad, answer, hang up, mail, IE) failing as well? Try pushing down on your device right under the bottom right of the screen and see if it'll turn white.. or put it in standbay and press down above your d-pad and then take it out of standby and see if that fixes it..
your probably running into a hardware problem which is discussed here:

Ok, I have this Cingular 8525 that I bought it used and use it for 6 months then suddenly the the touch screen stop functioning. Thought I have to change the whole screen and I eventually bought and installed it myslef successfully! and after installing the brand new screen w/ digitizer that I bought it from ebay with instruction on how to installation. the touch screen still doesn't functioning. I did the reboot, now it's in green screen where it say " windows mobile " " then top the screen to setup " and I can't use it. please anyone can help me to figure it out whats wrong with my Cingular 8525.

hi all
my htc touch elf (P3450) display turned to white with black patch at one place & some lines all of a sudden. it was working all fine. i was charging when a call came. i disconnected recieved the call. after that the screen turned white
Tried restarting but no result.
I can hear the notification of a message coming. but no ringing tone when i tried calling from other number
Please bail me out.
regards
Hardreset could be the solution
not resolved
i cannot see anything on the screen except white screen with black patch.
i tried hard reset with imaginary screen but not resolved
i see no visible screen cracks
how to check if screen is crack?
It may be that the LCD is cracked, thats what it sounds like to me, anyways. Check the connector as well though to make sure it is all connected correctly.
The white with black patch does sound broken to me though (Sorry!)
Stu
Hi Stu, I just received my friend's ELF. His display turn white, but the device still be able to receive phone call. trying to enter bootloader, all I get is white screen with some black-horizontal-thin lines. Tried to hard reset, now it seems the device is on phone setup position so I can not get anything.
Is this LCD issue? Could it be broken? FYI, before this happen, there's already one dead pixel on the screen.
BTW...is it possible that upgrading to cooked ROM can bring LCD broken? may be, unsuitable ROM?
regards,
Bom81
Not sure if flashing a cooked rom would kill the screen - although I would say thats very unlikey.
It does sound like the sceen is broken, theres one way to find out - If you don't mind giving it a go - you could always try your screen quickly in his phone - I'd imagine you're fairly familiar with the internals by now
(I do have a spare screen laying around now - JTAG is no longer able to pick up my bricked elf at all - full battery etc how I was doing it no longer works - guess it is dead for sure now!)

Hahaha..LOL, Today I did want to put my LCD on my friend's elf. but I forgot to bring the opening tools to my office. guess I'll do it tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know after my experiment with this thing.
A little bit Of Topic on this thread, I think so, your device has problem
so even the JTAG method will not be able to connect to the processor. Too bad you're in england, otherwise, the spare screen could be very useful here. LOL
UPDATE
ok..confirm the LCD is broken. I've changed the LCD with mine, and the device is working fine. i guess the dead pixel is the cause of the problem.
Should be able to find one cheap enough on ebay - I do seem to find it cheaper to buy another faulty one (maybe even bricked) as long as the screen is working
Need help on my HTC Touch
Hi Guys,
I really need your help badly. I have an HTC Touch (Elfin), I presume (128/256MB). The problem is i have downloaded the official windows mobile 6.1 rom and extracted the .exe file using Winrar. After which, i copied all the files to the sd card and renamed the .nbh file to ELF0IMG as instructed in the forum.
I put back the sd card and pressed the camera button and the power button at the same time. When it booted up it says reading from SD card and I can see that it is extracting the roms and ext roms. Afterwhich, there was a progress bar and then soon after a while screen turned to blue and then white. Currently now, as I am tying this the screen is still white. Please advise me asap in what to do? Thank you very much.

Ur display screen has been broke as simple as that..
Ok. Here is the thing.
I've droped my phone down, straight on the screen, no problems. 5 minutes later, when my brother was trying to play on it the screen turned white, with no stripes.
After 1 month i even forgot i had an htc, found it in my office drawer, and i thought of reinstalling the rom. But before that i pushed very hard on the screen, i took the battery out, pushed it in the battery space and after i started it worked like a charm.
