Hi guys,
I did do a search and found some info on the 'white screen' issue but most seem to be as a result of failed programming.
Mine, well, it just shows nothing other than a white screen! If I remove the battery and then refit, all I get is a white screen.
I know the unit is working as when I connect it to my PC, Activesync establishes a connection and I can use SOTI's Pocket Controller and view the MDA's screen content on my PC even though all the MDA shows is a white screen.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Is a replacement screen required?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
John
John not all the threads relate to programming issues.
There are many threads about this. Please use one of them. Here's a prime example:

I refer to this thread because it is the summary of our knowledge (such as it is) on the "physical" white screen issue. No perfect answers and no perfect solutions (but things that have worked for some)

Hi,
i have cingular 8525, but when i turn on the phone :
1. no startup screen only white screen.
2. no startup sound.
3. cannot enter the bootloader.
when i try connect with pc no hardware detected.
really need advise, what steps should i do?
Thank your for your kind
I am having the same problem
Case 1 above does not sound like the hardware fault that can cause a white screen in which case the following may be relevant:

Case 2 above gives no details so we cannot tell if its software or hardware. The above thread may be relevant assuming it's not hardware.
The hardware fault normally shows by the phone booting as normal but the screen is white or goes white after some minutes.
If you post on the above mentioned thread, you MUST provide details or else folks may get upset as it means they have to ask a whole series of questions before trying to help!

White Screen
Try this: Hook it up by USB to computer and see it the video will pass thru ( try a sample version of "pocket controller" from SOTI software)......
Mine did this and the WHITE SCREEN required calling CINGULAR and they had to replace the machine , twice actually) ...
I think the problem originated from the use of the plastic case holder which when closed would sometimes get between the two halves of the unit and cause separation)
Ahhh yes prob solved.

OK I have had my T-mobile Wing aka HTC Herald since last April.
Just a few days ago I encountered a problem with my lcd. And I would like your guys feedback if possible before I purchase an lcd replacement.
My problem is when I slide open the wing my screen starts to fade, (almost making it look like a negative from a picture) after that it starts to fade to different colors.
Now the problem persists when the phone is closed, however if I tap the top of my wing and hold it the screen becomes normal, but once I let go it starts to fade again.
I would like to know if any of you experienced this with ur phone and if a replacement lcd screen will fix the problem or am I sol?
If it helps im running my wing on Open Touch v6.0 WM 6.1 Build 20273.1.3.3
Thanks in advance.
LCD problems
Hello,
I too have some weird LCD problems and instead of creating a new thread I thought of posting in this one.
For the past few months, whenever I get a call or resume my phone from standby mode using the power button the entire screen goes white or sometimes it has green or blue colored lines all over them. I have to keep on pressing the power button few times to get proper display. Also whenever I open the qwerty keyboard the display goes blank. Since I am out of warranty Tmobile is not ready to replace the phone and I contacted the HTC customer service and they told that the display unit and some hardware stuff is gone and it needs to be replaced and will cost a minimum of 170$ and will increase if they had to replace some other hardware.
Please note that, my screen is NOT broken and the touch screen too works fine. Recently the display has gone completely blank or too faded even to see whats there in the screen I could barely see the today screen.
I searched and I did not find any similar issues that other folks have faced. Since the LCD and the touch screen is not broken replacing them is not going to fix the issue, correct? I was using open touch and recently I updated the latest official Tmobile release of ROM 6.26.xxx. I also tried the hard resets too.
Any other ideas/suggestions will be of great help for me. Thanks in advance.
I am having some similar problems as well, but my problem is much more severe. My screen is completely black and it just happened this past weekend. When i slide the phone the screen used to flicker but now it black as well. Phone works fine but is useless due to the fact the the screen is out. I remember seeing a program where you can interact with your phone via your pc when something was wrong w/ your screen (cracked, broken, etc.) I have searched the forum but to no avail. The program was very simple and effective. I plan on replacing my phone but would like to retrieve some info off the one I have. I just need that program! Anyone please HELP US!

thanks for the info
Hi everybody,
I recently received a Qtek 9100 from a friend, but I'm having some issues with it.
Firstly, it has Windows Mobile 6.5 installed and I'd like to revert to the OEM version, 5.0, hoping for it to be less buggy, but I could not find a decent method. Could anyone advise, please?
Secondly, I'm having some issues with the display. At first I suspected a hardware issue, now I'm not that sure about it.
So,... after freezing (as WM6.5 seems to have this function really well implemented), I reset the device and instead of the boot screen I got a flickering light screen with all sorts of horizontal and vertical lines. I checked with eBay, found a new screen at a decent price and just as I was about to order the new screen, the display started working again, until last night when a soft reset sent it back where we started from, meaning all sorts of lines.
Now I'm thinking it's either a hardware issue such as a bad contact, or the lines are caused by the damn WM6.5. I'm leaning towards the hardware problem, since the boot loader doesn't show properly either.
Any advices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
It can be Omap overclocking. Try to look at the wiki for a original rom for your phone
it's hard to say what rom it had since i got it with wm6.5.
i found a link on this forum to a file called RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_cingular.rar
it seems to be one of the many originals, so i'll try to flash this one as soon as i can figure out the connection issue with ActiveSync. I tried both 4.0 and 4.5 but they both fail to connect i need to fix the pda's display (or wait until it solves itself, like the previous time) in order to troubleshoot the connection error
Can you get into bootloader?
no, i keep getting those flickering horizontal and vertical lines. the odd piece is that anything else besides the connection seems to work. my guess is that the active sync connection can be solved via connection manager, but since i cannot see a damn thing... it's gonna be complicated.
my best guess is to buy a new display from ebay since i found some real cheap ones ($9) and replace it, hoping this would solve the hardware issue.
is there anybody else who got those mad lines? perhaps there's a less complicated solution to this problem that you would like to share
apparently, this is not a common issue, good to know
nobody had horizontal and vertical flickering lines?
Hi friends,
Newbie here, recently bought a Megane 2 that had installed an after-market tablet (see pic) - not sure what the model is but I know I've seen it in other people's threads, so I guess it's popular.
The problem is I am not able to configure the SWC for it - in the manual it says to press the desired button on the steering, then the according on the tablet and when it turns blue its done. However, in my case, when doing that the button on the tablet it's only flickering blue a few time and then going back to green, sign that it's not able to establish the connection.
I am not stranger of technology, however I know little to nothing about wires and cabling, so if you have any ideas regarding how to fix this please describe it as easy as possible - it would be much appreciated.
Also, if there are other threads where this issue was fixed, please point me to them - I searched the forum myself, but I couldn't find anything helpful enough.
Thank you all!
