Everytime i touch my screen or phone, the brightness goes to maximum (as bright as the camera) when i don't touch it, it goes back to normal. Pretty fancy effect, but i doubt that's good for the battery life. I checked all connectors (including camera on mainboard) and everything seems fine.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
So, the display doesn't go off completely until the phone suspends? If that's the case then you got a transmissive display. I hope your previous display wasn't a transflective one, otherwise your replacement was a downgrade...
The backlight goes off after 20 seconds (its configured like that) and then it doesn't flicker anymore. It only does the flickering (normal backlight => i touch it => maximum brightness => i don't touch it => normal backlight) when the backlight is activated.
The weird thing is, that it also does this when i touch the case and not the screen, this makes me think that it's fixable.
I need some help here: what exactly is the difference between a transmissive and a transflective display?
Problem solved. There was not enough pressure on the back of the upper side of the slider. Put in a little piece of plastic to keep the pressure on the connectors. Now working fine.

Hi guys, I need some help here. I literally threw my wizard out of the window shaking out my bedsheets and it dropped three stories into the backyard.
When I turned it on again (the drop had opened the battery case), at first the screen was bright white, then turned darker and darker showing some sort of noisy stripes (static, not moving). When it goes into standby and is turned on again from there it does the same thing.
some facts:
- there is no visible crack in the display (neither from the side, I disassembled it)
- all buttons and the touchscreen are still responding (u can see that because the background lighting responds to them)
- the wizard is still accessible via usb
- I don't know whether the phone still works because I can't enter the pin w/o display.
It seems strange to me that the display should stop working while the touchscreen and the background lighting remain unhurt. I am thinking about replacing the display (only available together w/ the touchscreen and bg-lighting), but I am afraid that it might rather be a problem with the communication between the main unit and the display, even though there was no visible damage there.
Does anybody have experiences with that kind of behavior of the display?
Is the display that vulnerable that it breaks before the rest (light, touchscreen)?
I didn't find any cases similar to mine in the forum. If there are and my questions would be answered there, please direct me there.
Thanks for the help

Try taking it apart, the force of inpact could have made a connection loose.
Disassembling I disconnected everything possible. Next thing would be to take apart the display/bglight/tscreen.
did you mean that? looks pretty fragile to me...
thx
yeah, I wouldnt mess with the display .. lol .. I meant a connection somewhere inside the device... like a loose ribbon or something
Yeah, seems hopeless. Guess I'll have to buy a new display and hope it works :-(
I'll post again once I got some results...
Problem solved
For the archive:
I exchanged the display and apparently only the screen was broken and the rest was unharmed.
I'd also like to add that two days ago (1 week after I repaired the thing) I dropped a plastic bottle on the phone in such a stupid angle that it broke the touchscreen. the next thing I will report here is whether it is possible to exchange the touchscreen only by doing some soldering.

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?
Sometimes the touch screen is not responsive. I need to press screen at various places to get it work again.
Any idea why this is happening?
Due to ROM bug or Hardware issue?
It may sound funny but my TD2 is the same and after few checks I found a way to fix it..... You must look at your display in an angle and you can see that in the center is a spot which is darker than the other display, after this you must suck a little right above the spot and everything is back to normal....
use a duct tape to suck it
this might be caused by extra pressure was placed on the screen. I found out about this when I accidentally slept on my phone for a whole night
My Atrix's screen randomly stopped displaying anything. You can see that the backlight turns on and off but nothing ever displays. The screen isn't physically damaged and the touch sensor is also functioning just fine. If I plug it into my Lapdock - I can use the phone with no issues, I'll just never get any sort of display on the cellphone's screen (Outputs to Lapdock's screen just fine).
Any ideas or suggestions?
are you able to adjust screen settings when you're on lapdock? (and does this change anything?)
It does sound a hardware issue with your screen... maybe others on here can offer more help
Just tried playing around with the settings - no luck
Do you think maybe the display cable somehow disconnected? I'm not sure how the Atrix is designed but I think you'd normally have a separate cable for backlight, touch, and display. Maybe I'll try disassembling it and report back.
Hello.
The other day my phone suffered a little water damage. Not submerged in water or anything, but a couple drops found their way into the phone. The phone was turning off/on and functioning, but the display was black. I could feel buttons being pressed and stuff...the screen just wasn't illuminated. Well, I left it alone for a while, and now the screen works to a degree.
It's functioning perfectly, except it can't go above 40% brightness or the phone's screen goes black. As soon as I move the slider at or below 40%, the screen works perfectly again.
Obviously whatever illuminates the screen is damaged to some degree. The same thing happens when using apps like Lux...so I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem now. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea what exactly could be damaged so I can fix it myself, or have anything to try before taking it apart again.
Thanks!
