I just got a Qtek 9000 which only shows a white screen. Initially it was completely dead, and only showed a red light when I connected it to a charger. But after reading for a while on the internet, I managed to flash an original rom onto the phone. But the screen is just white when I power it on. The phone seems to be in working order, because after about 30-40 seconds after I've powered it on, I get the "beep sound" (that comes after installing a new rom onto the phone and you're supposed to calibrate the screen etc)
I've tried flashing the rom again, but the screen still stays white.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Do I need a new screen?

Before you buy a new screen try to READ the Wiki, perhaps you can find a solution there
Good luck
I can't find anything anout it on wikipedia. Any other suggestions?
Well, I think I have narrowed it down to one of three possible things that can be causing the fault. I've disassembled the phone and tried powering it up with only the screen connected and I've disconnected all other ui modules and speakers and mic.
Still the screen stays white, so I think the problem must either be with the screen, the flex cable that runs between the two "pieces" of the phone, or the ui module that connects the screen and the flex cable.
So does anyone know where I can get these, or some of these parts cheap? New or used, or perhapse someone's got a faulty phone they'd like to sell?

Hi,
I bought my TyTN 6 months ago. I upgraded it to WM 6 from HTC update and and few weeks later during wirting a text message my screen went white and I couldn't do nothing. I restarted it after 15 minutes and I discovered that all data is gone. I got plain OS.
From that time the situation was accuring again, but after few seconds it was working ok and white screen was disapearing. I was using different OS versions, as well as Shap's form 3.54 up to 4.31 but it on every the situation become the same.
I contacted with HTC but still i didn't get any reply. Any idea what the problem could be? Is it the screen? Please help...

It's probably flex cable problem. There's been a few issues this type.

Do You know is it possible to fix it and if YES how to do this?
im having the same problem with my softbank xo1ht. if i hard reset screen returns but after about 15-30 mins screen fades to white and i cant see anything or use any function??? please advise
My screen was going white like for almost a week (coincidentally after going through airport security xray). I called for a warranty replacement and wouldn't you know it, after I called I have yet to see the white screen on the old one.
Are your hard buttons (d-pad, answer, hang up, mail, IE) failing as well? Try pushing down on your device right under the bottom right of the screen and see if it'll turn white.. or put it in standbay and press down above your d-pad and then take it out of standby and see if that fixes it..
your probably running into a hardware problem which is discussed here:

I just realized that my phone was like... dead. It turns on and I can synch with it in windows, but the screen is completly black and without image. I can receive calls. Before this I was not able to turn it on. Then it turned on and showed something like ChipID error, then it went black until now. When I plug it to the computer it doesn't seem to be charging (no orange light) I have hardspl in it. Also I didn't do anything special with it, I simply foud the phone like that today, it has been weeks since I flashed a rom or something. Any ideas?

Could be a faulty screen. Have you tried a hard reset
Yeah, I also did some hard resets. I think the screen got damaged at some point when I was unable to turn on the phone. Eventually when it worked it showed some weird error after startup in a message box. After this allways black screen (and no backlit and orange light of charge), also reflashed because the thing is working, it vibrates on startup (after 25 seconds) and plays the htc tune, it enters windows mobile too and I can receive calls but it keeps it all black.
I contacted the customer support of the online store, I will simply ask for a repair or replacement.
Thanks.
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.
Hi Guys,
After I "replaced" the screen,it was blank, yet booting and visible to computer,
I decided to recheck - and switched to the old screen. It didn't work either!
So now I have two sceens but non is functional
Any ideas?
Btw, i found this topic

Got the same problem right now, trying to solve it. Was about to post new topic but saw yours. Can you boot your device into bootloader? Mine seems to be able to do that and I see everything but once it shows the Google logo during normal boot or recovery, the screen goes dark and blank.
Very mysterious indeed, never seen this issue before...
Hoping someone can shed some light on this...

Can you remind me of how you did it?
Cause vol up+power\vol down+power won't work for me
What screen have you bought?
Cause I was super anxious about getting original Hydis, now chungwa they now sell everywhere
at first, I would think that I somehow messed uo the cable - but if you are saying, that you are able to boot
mystery!
I guess, we need some experienced service man here

Vol down + power. Though upon further reassembly, it seemed to get worse. Now my screen won't even light up or show anything. Try shining a flashlight on the LCD panel. Do you see anything? If you do, it's likely a bad data cable. In which case, you should find one on eBay.
deltatux
It isn't working at all(
But I can't be 100% sure, cause I've so many change cycles
Buying things on ebay means +1 month of waiting, so I'd prefer to know exactly, will the new cable heal me tablet
Anyway, have you decided, what happened to your screen?

For me since I shone a light and there is something showing underneath and I know that the panel should work since I did see a Google logo and fastboot did properly show up before I reassembled it again 2 times before it completely disappeared, It's likely the data cable, so I repurchased a data cable from eBay.
Have you tried shining a light on to the LCD panel to see if you see anything? If not, it's likely a faulty LCD panel.

Good morning, I need your support, my computer does not give an image, only the screen shines, I can touch it and vibrate what I know is on and the touch works without problem, calls also enter without problems, last night I turned it off without problems, but today in the morning to turn it did not give image, the screen is in white background very tenuous, was using the GSI pixeldust, already installs the stock rom by fastboot and does the same turn on but the image is not seen only a light ...

my screen is not completely white, only a faint glow is seen and it is appreciated when you are in complete darkness. I tried reinstalling software but it does not work, I always get the same result.
