I have been searching the forums and have not found anything with this particular problem. After replacing the screen, everything works as far as function but the screen has no darkness to it, everything is really really white. Can still see some things but overall this isn't right. Anyone has some tips or advise let me know! Thanks in advance!
Update: Took new screen out and put old cracked screen back, everything back to normal. Maybe different types of screen or versions or whatever. Website where ordered said for AT&T Tilt. We'll see how returning goes.

Hi Everyone,
Ive recently purchased a prophet that had a broken lcd screen. I took apart my O2 XDA Mini and switched the screen around with the prophet, as they both use the same screen from what I am aware.
The prophet booted all okay but the screen quality/ resolution is not showing up correctly.... the thing is ive tested all the functions in the device and everything is working as it should be. Hard reseted the prophet took it apart to ensure that the screen to the mainboard was secured and all is fine.
Does anyone have any ideas i could try or know of the problem? will a rom upgrade help?
Thanks!
Okay so just skimming through the forums on cracked screens, it appears that it may be a problem with the ribbon.
I've read something about gold and silver/black ribbons, the two types appear to be the same physically but different in type.
If someone could enlighten me in this i would greatly appreciate it.
Okay just thought i'd update that i replaced the lcd screen with a second gen lcd and that did the job....
Although everything works and seems fine... the screen does appear slightly off colour nothing major but it is more noticeable when in camera mode.
Does anyone or has anyone experienced anything similiar... input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Hello everyone...
Ive been doing as much research as I can, but can't find any solution.
I had to purchase a new LCD screen for my cingular 8125.
When i installed the screen, it only boots up with a white screen. Ive read that this has happened to a few others, but no one has posted a solution.
All cables are connected securely, and pushed in far enough. i've experiment with everything. Ive hard reset, ive even tried with another motherboard from a different 8125 phone. nothing but a white screen. I plug my old screen in (still works, just discolored), and it works fine.
Ive read somewhere that there are two generations of the screens. But the part numbers on the screens match up, so im not sure that this is the problem.
Any suggestions? Could the screen just be no good?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
I had a problem with a white stripe when I replaced my screen. I returned it and got a new one...problem solved.
i'm assuming im going to have to return it as well, but i'm trying to avoid the inconvience if possible. ive read that a few people have had this problem, and later replied to their own post saying they fixed it...but never said how...
I had this last week - it was a case of not quite seating the screen ribbon connector properly.
Severl times I fired it p only to see a fully white screen, playing around with the seating of the connector fixed it.
nope...ive messed around with it numerous times. just pulled it back out and tried again...actually hooked up what i needed without putting the phone back together so i could mess around with the ribbon while the phone was powered on...still just white....i suppose it has to be a bad screen?
could be a bad screen.
did you replace the tape that was on the LCD ribbon?
I have replaced about 25 screens and that tape is very important..trust me.
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!

link to the thread containing some info about the software... its called my mobiler
thanks for the info
Ok, I have done some searching and I am still not sure of the answer to my question.
I have a HERM 100. I broke the screen on accident, but it was having the WSOD problem anyway. I still love the phone and I am trying to fix it.
First question is I have the screen with the P/N HTC60H00037-01M. I have looked several places on ebay, and the only ones I can find selling this exact screen are almost 2 times as expensive. Most if not all the others are saying this screen will work HTC60H00037-00M
Here are the links
The cheaper one with -00M on the end in one of the pictures.
The more expensive one with the EXACT same number as my screen in the pic.
Will the cheaper one work in my phone or is there a real difference between the two screens.
Oh, and does anyone know the best way to get a chip reflowed? I have been watching and reading the WSOD thread, and the only option that seems to fix the problem permanently. I am not able to do this myself I don't think, but if anyone has a surefire way to do this at home I am willing to listen, I just want my favorite phone back.

Well at least they are both made by Toppoly and that is the crucial thing because different manufacturers use different digitizer circuits:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3372952&postcount=4
NB - This link is for reference only it was written for another Hermes owner who had bought a Hitachi part.
So I think you should be ok with the cheaper one - but I wouldn't put a 100% guarantee on that. (My understanding is that it should be ok though).
Obviously buy from a company that has put in writing that it works ok - just in case a return is needed.
Regarding reflowing the chip. You can experiment with an oven (though I wouldn't like to guess the temp or length of time) - and remove the plastic layer from the keys side. To be honest though, I'd look for a part on ebay or a device being parted out here - because if you try the oven method, you'll probably need a new part anyway

Ok, I got the cheaper one, and put the phone together. I am having a small problem. I think it is related to the WSOD issue now. After replacing it I put the phone together and it was working but the screen was very white. There were colors and objects on it but they were very hard to see, you had to look from an angle. After charging it a while and working with it (and thinking I screwed up again) I got the screen to work with some pressure on the right side. I am thinking that is the connection for the screen that you almost bend backwards. I am going to re examine that, and look locally for someone who will reflow my chip. This must be the problem.
At first I was not sure but now I have finally gotten a few minutes of non WSOD use out of it, so indeed the cheaper one WILL work.
Again, thanks mike, you are the man. I am certain I can find a dunked 8525 that will allow me to get my WSOD issue fixed.
-to sum up, the cheaper screen WILL work! good times.

Hey everyone. I searched everywhere I could find but with no avail.
Here's my problem. I replace my digitizer with another one. I replaced it just fine as far as my knowledge goes, but after all finished and everything ready and closed/screwed on, I fired it up and the backlight was GONE!
The display works, the touch works, MyMobiler works both with mouse and finger touching on the screen, but the damn screen is DIMMED! I can barely see it if I removed the digitizer or if I shed some light(flashlight) on it from an angle. But just barely.
Tried 3 different ROMs since some suggested that on another thread, did a Hard/Soft reset, with no results.
Is this a screen/dimmer problem or whatever? So if anyone with some answer please help me out. Thank you.
I know that very few look at the Blackstone section nowdays but guys I really need some advice because I need to sell it and I have to pay for repairing(hoping to avoid it) before doing so and also because I already tried everything and I had enough of disassembling it and testing every connector/flex cable if they are connected properly.
Thank you.
loose or dis-connection somewhere..
check all your ribbons are properly lined up, and connected propperly too..
