hi everyone, this is my first official post on the forums, and well i need ur help on my phone, for some reason when i slide my phone the screen shows like random lines etc, then when i slide it back it does the same, and itll take like a good 30 mins to get the screen right to its proper look, usually itll show like blue, or green, and even sometimes i get that "White Screen" where id see it everytime i slide or slide it back so idk, and even when i soft reset, either the screen is out of line or itll show those random lines again also to add to that sometimes the soft keys on the front dont work at times soo idk if its the ROM i just put in which was from T-Mobile or my screen :/.....i need ur help, cuz i might consider getting the screen replace or load the bootloader....appreciate the help and btw heres my video i just posted to give a good clearance of what im talking about and when i show the phone up close im fiddling with the power button to show how it is, thnx

im sure its the rom, i used pdaviet's rom and it did that ****. i replaced it with a different rom and it never did it again.
well i just redid everything and EVEN on the bootloader still had the whacky look on the screen...
ok well i put the old rom, the one that came with when i first got it, and still no luck....could it be a faulty screen connection? or the screen dying? and btw the phone has a real irritating noise.... and also on bootup he screen wont be aligned....idk what to do...
God..... Vital information you didnt put in... if you hear the noise, then its a goner. it prolly has a leaky capacitor, or the screen is some how desoldered and shorting out the board.

well whats the best bet? should i get this repaired as soon as possible???? or get a new one? and doubt bout the second reason, cuz the noise stops when my screen is off(of course) and sometimes when its in portrait mode, ya the screen would be on and would be white but none of that hating noise

ok heres what iv done about a month ago i was at my friends house
and decided to conect to the wireless network shortly after loading the home page the wireless disconected. i was unable to turn wireless on after that and since then my systems just litteraly shut-down 1 by one i lost abilitie to send sms. then i lost abilitie to even answer phonecalls id click answer and it would disconect straight away. and then this morning i turned it on and it just goes to instant white screen i cant even load bootloader it only shows a whitescreen no matter what i do. i cant think of anything else to try iv had a look on the forums and everyone just says to load the bootloader by pressing camera button and power button but it still goes to whitescreen the led at the top of the phone flashes red then about 2 seconds later goes to whitescreen my computer doesnt even pick it up now either is the phone just "dead" or can it be recovered?
alright heres an update to my atom so far iv managed to get rid of the whitescreen but cant for the life of me get past this new screen its just rainbow lines it looks as though all the lines on the screen going top to bottom have been coloured a diferent color
anyone know how to fix it? iv tried camera plus reset button and same thing

hi, just curious as to how you manage to get rid of the white screen, incase this happens to my unit/device as well?
ahaha yea im still trying to work that out myself i mean the phone still boots up and it can still recieve calls but only get a plain screen with multi coloured lines across it so cant use anything whatsoever or call anybody cause cant type anything in the screen i even bought a new screen adn have the same problem not sure if theres a way to totaly wipe the system and reinstall without having to use the atom screen or not if there is i would love to be told how to do it
The title basically says it all. I have a rooted mytouch 3g and the phone works perfectly fine when you are using it. The problem comes when the screen turns off to go to sleep. when I try to turn the screen back on to wake it up, it goes all berserk. I get these horizontal black and grey, monochromatic lines that pop up and move all around the screen. If it gets back, it kinda freezes on there, then the screen turns black again. I have to try to wake the phone back up and it keeps happening still. It's only after the fifth or sixth try that the screen still does it, but then my lock screen FINALLY comes up and I can unlock my phone. However, at times, this does not happen at all, not even a little bit. I'm stumped. i have reflashed my cyanogenmod that I had on it and it is running the latest because I thought maybe that was it, though I doubted it because I have two other mytouch's and a g1 that are running the same ROM and have no problem like that whatsoever. can anyone shed some light on this issue please. I would really appreciate it. I have been worrying over this all day trying to fix it to no avail. Once again, thank you for any help I get.
LOOOONNNNGGGG shot from a noob! Factory rest? pull the battery for 5 min? What vs of ROM r u running?

I did a wipe. Reformatted the memory card as well. I had cyanogen 4.0.1 then 4.0.2 and now 4.0.3 but had the same problem with all of them. Just havent pulled the battery but i doubt it will affect it.
Had the same issue when using a few of the Hero roms. would hit the button and the screen would flash some junk on the screen and then go back out. Had to hit the button about four times before it would finaly come back on. Have not had that problem with Cyanogen's though.
This is kind of a retarded question but its worth asking. Has the phone ever been wet? Have you takin into the bathroom while you shower? I have been thinking long and hard about disassembling my MyTouch just too see how its built (it still has a warranty, DAMN void stickers). Just by looking at the back with the cover off it is very suseptable to humitity. I do alot of phone repair and i have seen this problem many of times when there is corrosion on the flex cable. its only spazzes out when theres a sudden power surge. Have you tried a factory ROM
The MyTouch i use to flash roms on to "test" em out use to belong to a freind. She had droped it into her cranberry juice and vodka one night (I'm sure it was a great night). After disassembly to remove all the sugar before reboot i took a good long look. They are EXTRMELY easty to dissasemble and reassemble. about eight screws total for removing back cover and boards. Few connections. Give me a bit and I'll see if i can figure out how to post pics.
AS promised. sorry for the bad quality. By the way, After cleaning all the syrup from the boards with 91% rubbing alcohol, I have flashed it about 12 times looking for a good rom.
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.
Im starting to think the conection for the screen is faulty.
But I'd rather know for sure than send the phone off for weeks to be fixed only to be told they wont do it
The colours have been going pink/purple ish, and the whole picture has been jumping to the right.
It happenes for a while, but when I switch the screen off a few times it fixes the problem.
Is the conection for the screen around the bottom of the device? where the buttons are?
Because it seems to happen when I press hard around that area.
Id rather know for sure before I start opening it up
If it happens again, ill throw up a photo if it will be of any help.
Thanks
SORRY
thinking about it, this thread should have gone into 'HD2 Q&A' - But I forgot it was there!
Feel free to move it mods
Booooiinnggggg!
Come on people help me out
Today morning wokeup with a bright day,
I saw my phone working normal
I have mahdi rom on my phone..
But theres no issue with rom or any mod is what im sure about..
I looked at my phone..
And im having a very thin blue line on the right of the screen which is probably a hardware issue as it doesnt get captured in the screenshots..
And my power button doesnt work anymore any better.. After fighting with it and has been same since 6 months.. It works..
And the line came from today morning..
When i boot the phone its in red at google logo and fades away n when completes the boot.. It comes from start with blue everywhere on screen..
I have been using the phone like 2 years and so please help me with the problem if anyone else may have came across
Do a factory reset and report back! ?
it does appear even on the twrp,bootloader and even on boot logo of circles too,
so will a factory reset solve it?

I don't think so, it is probably a hardware issue. Maybe you can check the inner parts of the phone or send it to a repair service. It seems like the connector between the motherboard and the screen is the reponsible.
