Hey all. I'm having a weird issue. A few minutes ago I proceeded to flash my rom like I have numerous times in the past. When I started the RUU everything was going normal, but my screen on my phone went dark, I believe it was restarting at this point. But after the rom updated I never saw my screen come back. Its as if it had died. But theres seems to be some light coming from it. please help. I've tried everything with no success. (Hard reset, Soft reset, bootloader mode) I've posted a video to better demonstrate my problem. In the video I'm turning my screen on and off. If anyone can let me know if this is fixable please let me know what I must do.

Sorry, I posted the wrong link, let me see if I can find the correct one.
What ROM were you flashing?

Everything works fine except that the screen is white with jumbled colored lines. I had MyMobiler running and I could see the phone perfectly from it and use it. A soft/hard reset will not work and I tried flashing back to button rom with no luck.
This happened to me before but I flashed button rom and everything went back to normal. Then it happened again 2 weeks later and this time I decided to try stuff out and discovered that putting backlight to nothing then putting it back on fixed the problem. But this time, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Should I try the method posted in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424553
Aye, I posted that, and it is the fix of choice around here for that problem. Do it and all should be fine again.
Ok I will try that in the morning but I didnt think it was hardware related since I managed to fix it by flashing the first time.
Well, it seems to be a tempormental problem. Some people can "slam" their keyboard shut and it will fix it for good, while others have to take their phone apart to get it back to normal.
Thank god! I successfully fixed my display by flashing the original cingular 8125 rom !!!!
Now I have regrets about slamming the keyboard/'gently' hitting the display poor phone.
Ok I spoke too soon.. after the flash was completed, it went back to the messy display.. Well I know now that it is not hardware related.
Update: I had my phone plugged to the PC with USB and had backlight constantly on.. 3 hours later, the screen came back to normal... Hmm?
I have found a permanent solution for this. I have noticed this problem occurs when my battery is very low and my phone turns off right when I switch the phone on.
So to solve this, if powering on phone didnt restore the screen, just press the reset button until the screen fixes itself. It has worked everytime my phone had those white and colored lines.
im not sure if its related but i upgraded my phone to windows mobile 6.5 a few weeks ago. (not sure exactly which but can find out if needed) I used oliprio spl 2.4.
everthing was working fine other than the usual bugs with custom roms but today when i woke up i tried to turn my phone on and it wouldnt start. i soft reset it and it seemed to be starting up fine until it got past the windows mobile 6.5 screen. it then went to a blank white screen. I tried soft reseting a few more times but no luck. I hard reset it after that but the same thing happened.
I tried re flashing the same rom and the 6.1 rom from htc but it wouldnt even find the phone. i tried putting a new spl on it but it wouldnt work either. ive tried flashing on the blank white screen and in the boot loader. The touch screen still sorta works. backlight comes on if i touch the screen but if i hold the power button the screen to power off comes on but cant be used
I feel like i"ve tried everything but nothing seems to get me anywhere closer to fixing it. If anyone needs more information to help me just ask. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
hmmmmm, couldn't find much

there are seriously A LOT of posts on this subject as it covers a lot of different cell phone and carriers. I posted my search link at the bottom of the links so you can see them
Seems to either be a bad flash, screen or something on the board
Good luck, hopefully it's software related
Before I start I know how touchy people are about searching forums and the wiki etc... but I already have!
Ok so, I tried to flash a new ROM to my phone last night, I have done it before without problems however this time I was having trouble getting the phone to connect to my laptop (I run Windows 7). Both USPL and HSPL wouldn't work (in fact active sync wouldn't even recognise it).
So I went to bed, woke up and... My phone didn't work at all
I spent ages trying to get it too work, I tried putting it into bootloader, but nothing happened, I tried getting it to Hard reset, but nothing happened. (By nothing happens i mean the screen doesn't turn on).
The only sign of life i get from it is the little vibration that usually occurs after the 'smart mobility' screen appears. Except this is delayed by about 10 seconds from after pressing the Power button.
The delay makes me think that there is something else wrong with the phone other then the screen...
Please help!!
Oh and I am sorry for the essay... I only just realised how long and rambling it is haaa.
UPDATE: right it just connected to activesync but still nothing on the screen, is there any way of checking for definite that the screen is broke before I fork out for a new one? There is astill the massive delay between turning the phone on and getting the little vibration...
Try removing battery overnight, then re-inserting. Then try to get to bootloader or hard reset
how exactly did you manage to brick it? did you flash the rom in question with uspl, or do u generally have hard spl installed? i dont know but it looks like the bootloader is somehow broken ...
Ok I will try doing that, thank you for helping
And no, I didnt get as far as flashing the ROM because active sync never recognised the phone in Bootlaoder. I usually use USPL.
Did you fix it? and if so how?
I have very similar issues with my HD right now. Screen went black, bought a new LCD and still the same problem. Oddly enough the only way I can get the screen to come on is to take the battery out and set both battery and phone body in my window sill for half an hour or so. It is cold here right now and they are both pretty cool to the touch when I take them out. Put it back together and tada! Screen comes on. I dunno what the deal is also, don't know if its the battery or phone being cold that makes it work again??? I am going to try and figure it out.. Try it on yours it may help
HI all,
My hd2 has fallen yesterday, and now i have noticed the keypad lights wont turn off :-(
the device goes to stand by mode fine, screen is off, but the keypad stays on.
any ideas, what could happen? Has anyone had this problem??
Thanks
I now have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it? If yes can you please let me know how did you fix it. Mine is giving the same problem and I didn't even drop it
Hard Reset
@Don001: Tried Hard Reset including flashing back stock ROM and trying every available update of Energy ROM. Didn't work . Is there any app like KeyLedControl that does the opposite....instead of keeping the lights on....switches it off instead? Mine is always on....and never switches off.
Tried to google it and someone suggested that the phone needs a bit of cleaning but...I saw the videos to disassemble....man that's hard
Any other suggestions?
I have the same problem, and mine didn't even fall.
And also hard reset it to stock rom.
i have the problem that my keypad flashes constantly since i installed a custom rom
it goes in this sequence.
* *** * *** etc.
hmmm....
if there is nobody who can answere our prpblem, maybe we should send it to rep?
One of the phone repairers suggested Chemical Cleaning. Not sure if it is going to fix it though...Going to give it a try. Will see how it goes
My HD2 has started to do this since yesterday too.
The keypads stay on but do very slighly dim but still on all nite, killing my battery!!
any suggestions?
This may or may not help
Look at the bottom of post # 4 there is a link to switch the lights oof, it may be rom specific but its worth a try

Thanks but How do i install this on my HD2? I have duttys ROM and this is a .zip file not a cab?
FIrst of all, sorry for the thread, but I`ve been searching all over night to find a topic with a solution. So I was with using my phone normally (with a GE ROM and a diferent kernel), then suddenly the screen went out. I flashed everything back to stock, the phone didn`t boot up one single time. So I came up with a post in wich a guy said his phone does enter in recovery mode, but he was not able to see the screen. Searching the youtube, looking to a video I was able to perform a Factory wipe and the phone does boot (with sound and the capacitive button`s lights!). However, the screen remained blank, black.
Can someone help me? It has to do with the motherboard? Before going blank, the screen showed some white lines and other coloured strips, with some kind of interference. Any ideas?

could possibly be a dud screen, happened to work colleague, got it fixed under warranty, it just randomly died, had the same symptoms. can hear sound but no picture. they just put a new screen on.
