Sorry if this has been discussed before. I searched, honest.
I got a T-Mobile MDA from a friend. When I power it up, the screen illuminates, but nothing displays. Oddly enough, when i plug it into my cradle, activesynch completes with no errors.
I don't suspect the screen is bad, but does anyone have any thoughts? I can't get the thing to display any info, in spite of the fact that the screen looks flawless.
I'd appreciate your input. I'm frustrated. :x
So you can access your device via ActiveSync?
You could try doing a hard reset, maybe anything in the configuration went wrong --> all data will be lost.
If that also do not work, than i think you´re connector is not connected right, or there is a hardware malfunction....

Get screen capture software at the bottom of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39266&highlight=
Use it while active sync-ing your PDA, you can know if your PDA is working or not.. or just that the screen is the one that is going boink.
BTW, try shining a light on the screen to see if you can see anything at all on the screen, probably you've shut off the backlight?
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try
Actually, I know the screen "powers up" because the backlight comes on. I just don't get a display. I'll try a hard reset, and let you know. I'll also try to capture the screeen like you suggested. Thanks for the tips.
Puzzling about why the think synchs, (like there's brain activity) but no display. Could it be a bad screen, and where could I get one cheap?
Ok, it's tarted 2 days ago, suddenly my new exec screen going to blue (Like PC)??? just blue color (Sometimes white and black stripes) and hung, so I just restart it. But today, is terrible,its happend 6 times. Tonight the worst thing happend, blue screen come again but this time with soft reset, not help at all. Every time I soft reset the splash screen comes, and then that blue screen again. It happend about 5 times, the machine finally start but can't read my sd card and I try to do soft reset but screen goes and never come back. My exec didn't start at all. I tried to release the battery, leave for few minutes and put it back try to start it, nothing happend... now my exec has die.
Anyone please help me and advice please,
What I did just cook ext ROM (So it have autoconfig for my country's operator, and upgrade the radio to 1.14.10 from T-Mobile, like I did to my alpine but it have no problem until I sold it)
Whoa... help me bro...
Thanks in advanced
Finally it's start but never reach windows screen, the blue screen appears again.
And I remember, the strange thing, my IMEI that I read from device properties is: 355195002465655
But, the IMEI at back body,(Under the battery) : 355195000360361
Why?And what happen?
guess u have the same probs as some others

oops:
saw u r already i that post.......
OK, I've got the same problems as you did. I was so upset with the device that I hit it on my lap (with the battery clip side hitting my lap) and then put the battery back on. Then it turned on! So everytime I have this problem I just hit the battery clip side and it turns on like 70 percent of the time. I just realized the SD card is on that side...hmmm..must be something to do with SD. I'm pretty sure someday it would just stop working at all if I keep doing this.
I don't advise anyone doing this but so far it works for me. I still have problems waking it up though. I really think the mainboard is messed up so I'm trying to get a mainboard, even a broken miniusb mainboard just to test it out. I opened mine up to the last screw and no loose connections noted. So if anyone has a mainboard then can sell me PM me.
If you still have warranty on the device, I advise you to send it in for warranty repair. It seems to only get worst and not better. Goodluck, hopefully we can find a solution for this. If I do get a mainboard. I'll let you know if that fixed it.
Hmm, I've guess it, I think the pprob is mainboard. I'll send it for warranty, (But I bought it in other city not in my own city) So i'll have to send it then on friday this week i'll go to that store to check arround and maybe choose the best product. I'll give the update then.
Anyway someone can give a advice to choose the mainboard?
Thanks in advanced.
bump..we need help..Is it a mainboard or coaxial cable problem? Please advise..
OK, Problem found.. Thanks Corneluis...It is a problem with the voltage control on the mainboard! Anybody has a workaround for this?
SOLUTION FOUND!!! At least for my Jasjar. Thanks, cornelius about the info on faulty voltage control which causes the Bulverde CPU to hang and give funny lines and colors to the screen. The solution is to install Pocket Hack Master and disable the Device CPU scaling in settings and set the speed to 312mhz for standby and before you turn it off. Now you can always clock it to 520 when needed but before you turn it off or close the screen make sure the speed is only 312mhz.
This has worked for me for more than 24 hours without any sngle hang.
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)
none work
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)
a blank screen
heyy guys i have the same problem with my screen, i bought a new one in ebay, after installed the new screen, i turned on the phone, the screen works fine, but when i turned off the phone and change the sim card, then when i turned on the phone again the screen was in blank!!!
guys if you can help my please i will aprecite it!!! i cant live without a touch screen
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)
about my white screen
when i turn off the phone and turn on again my screen appears in blank but when i did a hard reset my screen works fine!! i don't really understand my htc 8525 hahaha he is crazy and the call button and end call button doesn't work.
thanks
thanks guys for help me and everyone here in this forum!!!
you're a real brainy guys
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.
i just bought this x7501 with wm6.0, spl-v1.10, the image version was 2.19.453.3. i wanted to upgrade to wm8.1 so I was using Athena Unlocker trying to unlock my x7501 and the first step went okay. Then the diaster stroke when i pressed flash radio at the second step. message says it can not connect to my device. after that, i cannot turn on my x7501, it almost looked like all power has lost. when i press slide down + reset, it goes into restore factory page but when i press action key, i was told to press power button to power up, but when i press the power button, screen just goes black. when i press camera button all the way down + reset, i can see the colorful screen but then it just says loading and stay that way...help me, people, i can't use this brick as my pillow. i need it as a pda...thank you very much. sorry about my not good english.

remove your sd card and sim card and try again.
when you see the three colour screen wat SPL is being reported?
thank you. it worked. the spl says 1.20. i flashed the origional rom shipped found in the forum to my device. it's alive now.
i have another quesiont if you are kind to asnwer me. when i call x7501 from othe phone, i can hear the ring tone but the x7501 doesn't ring or show incoming calls. well, there are a couple of times, right before the the calling goes into voice mail, the x7501 showed incoming calls but just in a split of seconds, there is no way a human could possibly take the call not even a kungu master. why? do i need to upgrade my radio.? i have no probablem making calls . my current radio rom i think is 1.47. wha't's my next move. thank you. guys, you people are good.
sounds like either a phone network setting or some setting on your phone
flash radio 1.57 to allow later roms but I don't think this will fix your current problem
i upgraded the radio to 1.57 following other threads found somewhere here.
One thing i found about x7501 is the wifi is very weak. it loses wifi connection even when i go up stairs (access point is downstairs) while my other wifi enable devices (htce t3333 and my ipod) still have a solid connection. is this common among x7501 or it is just my x7501. thank you. also, another quesiont kind of not related to Rom, there is a slight scratch across the screen of my x7501, is there anyway to get read of it. i just receieved the 5 inch protector today, i want to remove the scratch before i put the film on it. thank you again.

I have an X7500 and the wifi on it is very good! I can even be outside my house in my detached garage,and it works.
Also, depending on which screen protector you just got, you may not need to even bother with the scratch.... Mine made the scratches disappear completely! It is a Clear Protector brand, but the Zagg is the same.
Later
i put the film on without doing much on the scratch. you are right, the film made the scratch almost gone. only from a certain angle, you can still tell a subtle hint, but that doens't bother me. thank you. the wifi is strange. i have 1.57 radio flashed to my x7501 too, but the connection is awful. well, i don't know. i installed garmin gps xt on it, the GPS reception is better than my standalone Garmin 260w. it's just the wife sucks.
Glad that worked to help hide the scratch. I don't know what to tell you about the wifi.Have you tried doing the dreaded hard reset yet? I actually have always done 2 complete hard resets right after flashing a new rom.
