Hi,
I have a friend with a wizard that also have the problematic alignment of the screen lost.
I am considering to order this kind of replace from ebay:

is this the correct hardware device?
thanks for the help

I guess its right, i never tried or bought it from eBay but by the pic and description it looks all right but dont go on my advice wait for other to post too.
I would suggest that you dismantle your wizard first and check the ribbon cable on your phone matches yours
I have replaced the digitizer on my old wizard before and found that there was 2 different digitizers, each had a slightly different ribbon cable. The first didnt work at all but the second worked perfectly. Also i noticed that on both digitizers the strips on the cables didnt align properly with the board, however it was still possible to solder.
Make sure you have a soldering iron with a very fine point, its very figity to replace.

Thanks.
yes I will do it first. My problem was to understand if this is the hardware component that makes the lost of align issue.
Nowadays we have to open the keyboard to recover the align values.
Thanks to all
Thats a very weird problem, it may be software related, a bug in the OS maybe?
If that is the case then backing up your phone then flashing with a rom of your choice may fix the problem (i would try that first before replacing hardware)
Personaly i would suggest the brightphone rom its clean and very fast, however you have to identify wether your phone is a g3 or a g4 and get the right rom. all in the upgrading guides

Make a search and you will find lots of posts with this problem.
It was present sincd the wm5, wm6, wm6.1, etc.
So, it's really hardware.... unhappily

I have a problem with the screen on my wizard...
When I close the screen, the characters appear with wriggly lines in them, as if they are breaking. If I slide the screen open, even just a little, the characters are stable.
Any ideas?
It seems more like a Hardware fault the software,but no harm confirming.The 'Digitizer' of the Lcd is faking out or connection problem of the connectors,did you disassemble the device recently or something for repairs,or did it fell on the ground and got damaged.
Which OS version Rom your are using,if you have upgraded to any custom Rom,may be,I don't think so,but might be there's a chance,reflash the Rom again and check if it helps.
cheers
I flashed the rom & reinstalled the OS, but still the same problem. So it looks like a hardware problem.
Probably some connector cable or something.
Are these difficult to open, or should I take it somewere to get it fixed?
Well, if it's still under warranty,then I'll suggest you contact the vendor from whome you got it and let them fix it,otherwise,if you got any experience and knowledge of disassembling and repairing it,then download the service manual from the vendors website or from the xda-forum wiki and try out.Otherwise consult a repair shop.
Cheers
Well, I got a manual for the wizard, openned it up, tightenned all the connectors & cables, and now it works like a charm!!
Thanks for the replies.
Hey i don't know what happened to my Wizard but suddenly after installing two Alarm Clock softwares i just started losing my Screen Alignment. To fix it i even tried re flashing my Wizard but this time the problem started early and without installing those programs. Did anyone of you have the same problem?? If you do have a patch do post it in reply. Cause after using the ROM I'm using now all the other ROMs seem to be too Slow.
NOTE: Information about my Wizard is updated and in my signature.
Thanks in Advance.
HI,
Have you ckecked the connection between the screen and the print? Maybe it has a bed contact?
If you still have warranty, the you better send your phone back to let it repair
good luck

Hey im sure that there are no problem with the HARDWARE cause if there were problems with the hardware then it should not even work after i align screen and secondly if you know any ROM faster than mine (mentioned in my sign) cause when i switch to nayother ROM they seem to be too slow.

Well there's your problem right there. Anyone that sure of anything can't be right about it.
Seriously though. This sounds like an intermittent fault, and that is the domain of hardware failures. This kind of thing happens when hardware ages. Especially around things with moving parts. That slide-out keyboard wreaks havoc on the ribbon over time, and eventually, they just give out. You may have one that's merely loose, or it may be getting ready to break, or it may already be broken and just touching often enough to make you think it's okay.
The chances of this being firmware or driver-related are really slim. If that was the case, the error would be constant, not intermittent.

Sorry! but i dont guess i said that anywhere by reflashing i meant reflashing the same ROM. If the problem still presists then it might be a HARDWARE fault but for now its working pretty fine.
Forgot one thing, if this is an HARDWARE issue then is it fixable?? if yes how?
hey man i had this annoying issue whenever i remove the battery..but it should be OK when u do alignment a couple of time repeatedly...try it and post the results here..
I have had alignment problems for a long time. Clearly mine is hardware related, since stock and custom ROMs both show the same problem. Sometimes I'll go for months with no problem, and then I'll have to start realigning several times a day. Thank god for smartskey, otherwise I could rarely close a program. I was told that it was probably a hardware problem and that it would've been covered under warranty (if I was still under warranty), but I never sent it off. Somebody else told me once that It was probably due to there being pressure put on the edges of the screen from the frame around the screen, and if I disassembled it, made sure the seal/padding wasn't touching the touch-sensitive part and then reassembled it, I should be fine. But I looked up the process in the service manual, and WOW it looked like a lot of work with a lot of places where I could screw up the phone, so I just live with it. Sometimes sliding it open and closed would totally mess it up. It seems to help if I just squeeze the edges of the screen to really "seat" it, and then align. Then it seems to stay pretty well aligned for a good while. Good luck!
I cooked up a ROM and installed it and it works now i dont have the problem. Please try my ROM and give me feedback link to it exists in my signature. Thanks. TC
Aaaaghh. I am on a trip overseas and the backlight of the LCD screen on my Dopod 838 Pro just went out. Under a bright light I can make out the screen changing as things happen, but it kind of makes it hard to read (impossible!!). Luckily TomTom kept talking to me, although not as good without the picture of the map to follow!!
Anyone heard of this before? Have read of a few "white screens", but this seems different to other posts.
Would appreciate any tips on fixing or replacing the screen. I plan to try to pull the machine apart and make sure a connector hasn't come loose when I get home, but am hoping I am not up for a new machine just yet.
Although this may be an excuse to upgrade to the Touch HD when it available in Australia!!
Thanks in advance.
3 things
try 1st
make sure your brightness is turned up, settings/system/backlight
try 2nd
backup device, hard reset, see if this works. ( the backlight should not be a software issue, but it is possible)
try 3rd (although I would try this 2nd if you can, because if this works will not lose your personal data like you will in step 2)
take apart and check the flex, (common cause of this problem)
Thanks, time to find my torx screwdrivers!!
Have been playing with as many settings as I could see with a bright torch, and then tried a hard reset (fortunately it was still able to connect to my PC for backing up data).
Even loaded a new ROM OS.
It happened to my Jasjam and I found the scroll wheel circuit board was the culprit (don't ask me how). I managed to get a "broken" Jasjam off ebay for a fair price and cannabalized it for the part I needed. Fixed it nicely.
I don't know if your is the same thing but if you can get a hold of a "broken" Hermes it might be worth a shot. Found the "broken" Jasjam had nothing wrong with it either. Good buy for $120AUD...
Cheers...

Oh thanks heaps man I just fixed my JasJam backlight problem by replacing the scroll wheel circuit with another one!!! This was definately the issue, i would have never thought of trying this! This should be added to the wiki.

Hi
i'm Claudio from Italy and my htc display suddenly became black
When i push keys the keyboard light and i hear bip but nothing in diplay.
If i connect to PC i see the files and the SD .
I'm not expert so i ask if there is a solution or i must throw away the HTC.
Thanx very much
You might be able to sell it for parts, got get a new LCD screen
hi,
do you think it's no possible a software problem(virus) ?
Tnx
Claudio
Welcome to forums
To discard that a hard reset should be done, but have in mind if it´s the screen problem that maybe you won´t be able to use it.
Good luck,
It sounds like most likely a flex cable problem. Flex cable and hinge can be purchased on eBay as one unit (the assembly makes separation impossible), however, there is always some danger that problem may be caused by the LCD itself or the mainboard. The only way to diagnose the problem is by process of elimination - to try your board in another working machine and then trying another screen in your device.
OK
I'll try
Thank you
I'm guessing this is your problem =] (oj)

Where could i purchase such parts, As i'm thinking of revaming my uni with a new case and screen bits as well as a new battery =]
- i've found a case for the vodaphone version which is sliver, but gives me a full re-kit : Screen case, Keyboard case, + Keyboard.
but tbh i really want a new full black XDA Exec (02) re-kit with the same parts
Help please, this is driving me nuts.
The phone - HTC Rogers Magic 32A that is rooted and rom'ed. (I dont have the phone in from of me to give detailed info (spl/radio/rom), sorry)
The problem - the phone has a cracked digitizer. It still works but is very cracked. I ordered a new digitizer via HK, which did not work. Ordered a second and still no love.
So, I think that it may be a problem with the replacements and drivers / roms or something of that nature. The part numbers on the digitizers were slightly different that the original. (Original - Synaptics 940-255-3R2, Replacement - Synaptics 940-255-3RA)
The process - I have removed the old digitizer, then installed new and restarted. The touch screen does not work. If I then shut down, install old digitizer and restart, the touch screen works.
So, can anyone give me a plan of attack. I am thinking of bringing the phone back to Rogers stock and trying the new digitizer.
Advice please.....
Remount, stock with RUU and return phone. Get a new one.

Cant do, past warranty, not original owner. Any other suggestions?
Anybody have any further insight?
Trying to replace a digitizer, (should be easy, but none of the new ones work, tried 3). I noticed the part numbers are not quite the same from old to new.
I am going to go out on a limb here, working on the assumption that because of the different part numbers, they may require different drivers. Maybe the digitizer was undated in the newer models of the Magics?
So, my question.
When in the boot up / rom installation are the drivers for the digitizer called. When a rom is first installed, is the hardware detected and the correct drivers are installed. From then on using the same drivers throughout.
Is the device capable of seening diffenerent hardware after the initial installation, and if so, can it do anything about it? (install new drivers)
ANy suggestions anyone?
Can't post a link, but search digitizer in this forum, it talks about using ION ROM from Amon_Ra for aftermarket touchscreens.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like the problem. I will update this post if I can confirm.
going to 1.5 ION fixed the problem?
