Ok, so yesterday, my screen faded out and I had to reset it. Happen like twice, and then the phone became unusable. I tried to soft and then hard reset. Nothing worked. I tried plugging it into the wall, and that didn't help, then I plugged it into my computer and I thought it was working. As soon as I put the phone down, the screen faded away and washed all white.
I picked it back up and it flickered, so I squeesed it very tight and it came up perfect. As soon as you set it down or even lighten the grip, the screen fades. If you grab it right back everything is fine. I was going to pop open the case and see if there was a connection loose, but figured I'd ask first.
When my phone stopped making noise a while back, I opened it and reconnected and got sound back. Didn't know if it would work the same way with the screen. Anyone have any experience with this issue?
Thanks..
Search for white screen. Most hermes will suffer from this eventually. I am about to do some surgery on mine...

aright previously my LCD screen was cracked well i got the replacement LCD screen and it works fine. BUT my problem now is that its just displaying a white screen. Nothing else. I take off the battery put it back on turn the phone on and i get a white screen no letters no nothing.
Does this mean my phone is a brick?
i still get response when i hold down the comm button it vibrates. The volume slider responds with the volume going up and down. and when i try to hard reset via holding the comm button,voicebutton,camera button and hitting the soft reset button it responds to it and resets the phone apparantly.
So i know for a fact the actual phone works..but its not displaying anything but a white screen...is there anything else i can do ?
If you have replaced the screen yourself, it may be worth trying to re-fit it again. Make sure the connectors are in pefectly, and make sure there is no dirt on them. If the pda still responds to button presses, it's fine, it's only the srcreen that's damaged/non-functional...
To see if this is the case, try tapping on the very to left of the screen, and see if you get the start menu pop. If you don't it's prolly the connector not plugged in properly, if you do, then the connector may be damaged...
ok im trying now..but how could it be the screen if the screen is giving me a perfectly white screen and its been tested to be working correctly?
sweeet i reconnected everything and it worked thanks for the recommendation dood much appreciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nice to see that my reccomendation worked for you. I've never replaced a colour LCD screen before, but some of the B&W ones i've replaced have had similar faults. It's the same with old cartridge games if you think about it, you used to have to blow on them ocasionally...
Modern technology may be perfect in every respect, but the manufacturing methods arn't.
please help me with my phone or let me know if it has happedn to any one else
Well i was on my phone and everything was fine however when i reset my phone with the stylus it turned back on but the screen was just black... now i can touch the screen and i hear the clicks and beeps as if the touchscreen is working but i cant see anything
I have a black screen also
I'm having a similar issue. It just began a week ago. My screen began fading out but when i'd open the keyboard it return to normal for a little while and then start to fade again. now its completely black and i can't use it at all.
i charged my phone completely and when i turned it back on it worked and it seems thats all i did because everything else was not helping but when i charged it complete it worked again
Screen went white & buttons didn't work.. took to get phone fixed... and...now buttons work but the screen has a weird yellow tint
what is the problem, and how to fix
bump. anyone?
Can you say a bit more about it. How strong is this yellow tint. Can you upload a picture.
It's difficult to know if this is caused by a new screen that has a faint yellow tinge or whether it's a definite fault.

My phone started getting the white screen issue, the buttons stopped working.
When I'd turn the display on, it would be all white, id have to press it a few times then it would be ok, the buttons seized to function.
I took it to get fixed, the buttons now fully work, but the screen has a weird yellow tint all over. It didn't have it before. I was mad at the repair shop, the guy told me that its the LCD screen connector cable or whatever... but I don't believe him, as he doesn't seem to know wtf he is saying..
please help
Mine started doing this recently. Screen fades to white and nothing works but I can still hear if I'm on the phone. For me, turning it off and back on resolves the issue (I can see the display again). I suppose some aren't so lucky..
More than likely the LCD connector cable has a problem. Why he didn't fix it, I have no idea. If you feel up to taking it apart, you may be able to push the connector in further, OR you could buy a new screen. Then again...
Hi there
I have rebuilt many hermes with the same problems. I researched the issues on here and elsewhere - Its nearly always related to the entire Dpad/cable/connections . I have repaired nearly all of these quite simply by dismantling them and adjusting/cleaning and reassembling them - things move and get out of contact etc and this is what happens with these - get a torx driver and have a go - after a few tries you will usually solve the problem
Happy to assist anybody who would like a hand
Kind regards

my htc hermes (herm100) does the occasional white screen here and there, but i dropped it (like a foot away from the floor) and it almost always white screens, the phone will come on, the ATT logo (like the bios thing) will load up and everything, but as soon as its about to play the 3g animation, the screen fades to white, but everything works, the 3g sound plays, the screen responds to touch, etc. the screen also displays perfectly when i start to do a hard reset, the screen comes up to press r and all that, then space to boot, then the screen goes white again. i've taken the phone apart, checked everything out, made sure the ribbon cables and such were set properly, everything. If this helps, my camera had stopped working the night before...when i would click the camera button or started it from programs, it would say somethin along the lines of "the camera could not be started. initialization of camera failed" and i was actually gunna be asking about that right now til it uber white screened. Any help is appreciated.
White screen
Hi i'm also having the same problem with my hermes 300, Dropped off the back of the bed onto skirting board, about 1 1/2 feet. Started to white screen soon after this. Like you say when you format it the screen is fine until it gets past the first boot screen then slowly fades to white. Have heard stories about the ribbon cable to the navigation on the front. any help apreciated
Update: Took Hermes apart nad reseated the d-pad ribbon, everything seems ok. Thanks to Mike channon for the Disassembly manuals. Hope this helps other people.
Just got myself a transformer today and it seemed great, however right after about 5 minutes the thing goes nuts like someone is swiping or touching the screen. Mostly just one spot on the left side and it will do it whether I'm holding it or it's sitting by itself. Can't seem to find anything posted about this wondering if thats because it's not common or I'm just not looking for the right stuff? Any help would be great, will likely return it tomorrow anyhow but if there's a fix would be nice.
Yeah, I got this as well while playing Angry Birds (F'd up my scores ! ). I don't know if it will work for you, but I just cleaned the screen really well with a cotton ball and alcohol, dried it, then used a microfiber cloth to clean it up (the ones that come with glasses, screen protectors). It worked for me, i think there was some gunk on the screen and was registering as a touch..
Try a factory reset and if it doesn't work take it back for a new one.
Thanks I can't see it being something on screen but will give it a wipe done here in a minute. Also tried the factory reset seemed to help but still getting in same frequency just not as badly. will see if the cleaning doesn't work I'll take it back and replace it.
This is the biggest annoyance that I have as of recent.
I have particularly oily fingerprints which causes smudges constantly.
I love the sensitivity of the TF, but if there is excessive smudging, the residue will register as a screen input - Wish the sensitivity could be adjusted.
Weird things happen when I need to clean the screen... I.E. I will be using a browser and use a single touch to scroll down, but it will zoom in/out instead; the long press menu will show up in a random spot persistently; -or- the screen will be completely unresponsive.
When this happens - I turn of the screen, clean it, turn the screen back on, and I'm good to go (note: sometimes I cannot even see any smudges where I am having issues).
This happens to me FREQUENTLY when i use the tab outside during humid days. I am thinking a screen protector may help, but still havent gotten one to try it out.
I had this same problem before the touch screen completely stopped responding on me.
For mine it only happened after waking it up from sleep mode though. When I turned Timeout to Never the ghost touching stopped.
Well tried as suggested the cleaning of the screen and all that but it still did it so took it back to the store got lucky and they still had one left, and exchanged it. New one hasn't had any issues at all. Thanks all.
I just took mine out of the box for fun (it was packed up for rma) and when i turned it on the touch screen worked. The ghost touching stopped to. But i still have a strip from top to bottom on the right side of the screen that registers two touches . So ill probably still send it in for a replacement.
