Since yesterday and suddenly my handset (XDA Orbit) can´t work. The reason is that a white screen has appear, with the red led switched on, on the top of the PDA and the vibration activated (This 3 elements appear at same time, together).

Any one knows what is happening???
Any solution???

Just bought mij S100 and already a problem. My phone automatically shuts down the display, this is nothing strange. But when I want to turn it back on again using the on/off button, sometimes it does not react (sometimes it does). When this happens, i also cannot receive any calls. I tried to call myself with another phone and it did not ring. It looks like a crash to me. When I do a soft reset it works again.
I have the newest Qtek rom (1.12.00 WWE / 1.12.550 WWE) installed. Originally the phone came with T-mobile software.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
If there is a problem with the power button, then you can go into Settings - Button Lock - do not lock buttons. This way you can turn on your device using any of the green or red buttons.
hi robbertje,
sometimes i have the same problem on my MDA compact (=imate S100).
on/off button does not respond - display dark.
soft reset resets the MDAc and everything is ok.
then a few days no problems. if this problem occours then more times.
I found out that if my MDAc is in this state and if I pull the SD Card out of the device, the screen is on but frozen. The time which is shown an the screen is not correct. Seems that it shows the time when the device went to the freeze status.
Also battery is very low after such problems.
I used to have it when I first upgraded to big storage. A hard reset seemed to fix the problem. What I found was that the screen would react, but it could be up to a minute after I hit the power button. Same thing when the screen was on, I'd hit Start and wait. After a while the start menu would pop up. This was before I even managed to install any other software so it's a windows bug that's fairly random. I haven't had it happen for a few months now, though.
I think PPCProfiles made the problem. I reinstalled PPCProfiles and it seems that the problem is solved but I will see ..................
Hey, I've already ur problem. It's an hardware problem!
The mess is that, when the PDA is cold (strange, huh?) it won't reactivate, causing to do a soft reset. Mystically, the LEDs are still functioning (I mean, if it's green, it will continue to blink BUT doesn't change for any reason)
The only way to fix it is to send it to the repairing center. Sorry for who is out of warranty.
Cheers,

new ROM?
In this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25761 it is said a new ROM wil fix the problem ...
Is this possible?
check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27956&highlight= too - may not be relevant, but it shows that power button wierdness can actually be the result of a dodgy battery.
remove your battery,and wait 1 day,my problem solved this method...
Hello I've got an Tmobile Ameo wich is a brand of the HTC Athena with an Olipro SPL copyed on it with the Athena Unlocker by Olipro.
Today I've copy much Data on my Microdrive useing my Windows Xp PC and the Programm WM5torage. I did this serveral times before and it works everytime smooth.
But today my Battary went out of power while this copyprocess and I didn't recognize it because the Athena was turned to Silent.
So my Display went of.
So I changed the Akku but when I pulled out the empty one my Athena show a very strang just white Screen.
I put the new full Battary in and tryed to launch.
But if I drop down the power key just the light of the "OK" and "Windows" Buttons goes on. If I press the powerbutton agein they went off again. There is nothing on the screen.
If I try to Hardreset the device then there happens nothing instead of the Actionkey light went green and off again.
But one time I tryed to enter hardreset mode I first saw the Screen with the different Colors from the Bootloadermode but then a verf similar screen but just with a blue color and colors between grey and white.
After this I recognized that If I touch some places of the device the Display turns on but only white and after a time off agein.
This is very strange because nothing mechanical happent to the athena.
Entering Bootloader Mode ends in the white screen too without success.
What should I do?
Edit:
I just recognized that my Windows Mobile is still running.
If I press the Voice Button there are 2 beeps and if I say a name he also repeats.
So it must be just a display problem but I dont understand because the display still works.
Edit2:
Next Thing if I press a bit on the back of the device, the screen is normal again but after sometime there comes grey lines and then it goes fully white very slowly.

Yes I also think so.
Do you know how long it takes to let an Athena Repair?
Hi,
I've got this strange issue with my HTC touch where occasionally it seems to switch itself off and refuses to power on for a long time. I have to do all sorts to try get it to come back on - remove battery, sim, memory card, etc. Sometimes (during one of these times that it won't turn on) it'll power on to the initial boot splash screen (which is an Orange logo one) and then the colours will go all funky (like inverted) and then the screen just blanks out into black.
After a while - I've found no set pattern to turn it on - it'll power on and things will work ok.
It's very frustrating when this happens as there appears to be no set way to get the thing to turn on. I hold down the power button and the device just remains blank.
I've had the ROM changed to Onyx 4.6 (Ultimate), but this problem existed with the stock ROM on the device. I was hoping that the ROM change would cure it, but it still seems to be happening.
" but it seems to be happening "
So wait, did Onyx solved your issue or .. ?

Sounds like a bootloader issue.
i have the same problem
have the same problem, I believe it is heat related i didnt have this problem in winter and it occured more when i went on a holiday (3 times) to the south of france, kroatia and italy.(i'm from belgium)
only thing that solves the problem imho is pulling out the battery and letting it cool down for some time (sometimes long sometimes less long depending on ambient temperature).
I think it overheats because htc service center repaired it with a 6.1 instead of an original 6.0 wm.
Anyone encountered the same??
(btw not everytime i see the flickering (inverted) splash screen)
This problem seems to be really big.

Hi,
I have got my trinity phone one year ago and never had a problem since last week. When starting my phone, it stops on the first screen (with "orange" logo) and nothing more happens.
I tried to reset it without succeed. The phone is not detected by the "activeSync" to make it flushable.
Help please !

my problem is mor or less the same... only that dont apears any image on screen and the green led is constantly on...
I have loaded a long time ago an old version of ROM Gelly.
This ROM worked perfectly to a friend who suggested to do the same with my trinity.
The PROBLEM is that when i try to open the pda it freezes to the first srceen showing the rom version and after....nothing!
I tried to load again Gelly from the bootloader, it begins to run, it runs about 1% then the trinity makes a flash (this means it loses the connection with the pc) and then shows me again the first screen....
Please i need help!

try this to
hi,
2 things ...
have you tried a hard reset ? (hold both softkeys & hit reset button)
and when flashing:
when you first run the rom upgrade from PC with phone on Activesync, it is quite common for phone to hang at the bootloader screen ...
worry not -
just re-run the upgrade from PC again immediately, without disconnecting or attempting to switch phone off.
(the word USB should be visable on device under the coloured bars)
if you do get hung up at bootloader screen a hard reset should at least get you back to where you were, and you can try re-flash again.
hope this helps,
regards,
Kevin
My trinity won't work anymore...
Hi all!
My trinity wont't work anymore. When i press the ON/OFF-button, the display is lighten up a bit, then the buttons are lighten up. And nothing more.
When i will go to bootloader mode, it is the same.
And when i will to a hard reset, the trinity ask me to press SEND or END key for restore factory default or cancel. When i choose the SEND key, on my display some ridicoulous letters appear, but nothing more.
When i try KITL mode, everything is the same.
Can someone help please?
Because i can't do something on my trinity
EDIT (maybe this can help my helper ):
After some time, the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore.
When i try to charging the battery, it only works, when the buttons are not lighten up (when i switch on, charging is ok; when the display is lighten up a bit, charging is ok; when the buttons are lighten up, charging won't work; when the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore after a time, charging is ok)

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!)

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.
