Hi
i'm Claudio from Italy and my htc display suddenly became black
When i push keys the keyboard light and i hear bip but nothing in diplay.
If i connect to PC i see the files and the SD .
I'm not expert so i ask if there is a solution or i must throw away the HTC.
Thanx very much
You might be able to sell it for parts, got get a new LCD screen
hi,
do you think it's no possible a software problem(virus) ?
Tnx
Claudio
Welcome to forums
To discard that a hard reset should be done, but have in mind if it´s the screen problem that maybe you won´t be able to use it.
Good luck,
It sounds like most likely a flex cable problem. Flex cable and hinge can be purchased on eBay as one unit (the assembly makes separation impossible), however, there is always some danger that problem may be caused by the LCD itself or the mainboard. The only way to diagnose the problem is by process of elimination - to try your board in another working machine and then trying another screen in your device.
OK
I'll try
Thank you
I'm guessing this is your problem =] (oj)

Where could i purchase such parts, As i'm thinking of revaming my uni with a new case and screen bits as well as a new battery =]
- i've found a case for the vodaphone version which is sliver, but gives me a full re-kit : Screen case, Keyboard case, + Keyboard.
but tbh i really want a new full black XDA Exec (02) re-kit with the same parts

I broke the screen on mda and purchased a replacement but I think i fried my main board during the installation of the lcd. Is anyone selling a mainboard for the wizard or know where I can find a mainboard? I have checked on ebay and have found broken phones with bad usb connectors or headphone jacks. I don't need that. If anyone is selling a mainboard for the wizard as well as the housing, as long as its in good condition, please let me know. Thanks --> Mistawright
Are you sure it's dead??

I've just received a new screen for mine from HK. When I first put it in all I could get was a white screen, nothing else.
After ages of stripping down etc I found that it was the screen connector causing the grief - tape it down with some electrical tape and away it went.
Got versed in the art of connecting the screen to the main board and holding the battery in place at each stage of the re-construction to ensure it was still working.
I dropped mine and had vertical lines on the right side of the screen. Now, with the new screen in, initially it was fine but has just started wavering a little on the right side, so I may have had more than just a screen issue. Still as long as it lasts until my Kaiser arrives from T-Mo I'll be happy.
So are you selling a mainboard or not? If you are not what was the point of your post?

The point was in the subject of the reply: ARE YOU SURE IT'S DEAD?
I offered help based on my experience changing the screen and questioning wether your mainboard was really dead or not.
But if you don't anybody offering advice and only want to buy another mainboard without really checking if yours is dead or not then I'll shut up.
lets start from the beginning.
1) I broke the screen.
2) the phone would power on but cracked screen.
3) I bought a replacement
4) after taking the phone apartment and replacing screen phone does not power on
5) Amber light does not come on on phone when connected to charger.
Instead of suggestions like the topic of the thread says I'm looking to purchase a working mainboard or a phone with a cracked screen that works at a decent price.
Hi,
Did you follow any replacement doc to do the job? Or you just started alone? I asked you cause I got a LCD for my friend and together we replaced it without any problems. Everything is working fine! Remember that exist many pitty hardware parts during the process you should care about it. If you missed or have broken one of them, you'll probably fried the main board or similar component!

hi everybody.
some weeks ago i bought a new casing for my trinity on ebay. as I had to open my trinity while on a long trip far away from home and htc tech support (the "hang up" button broke), i had already broken my guarantee. so i decided to change the casing myself. i managed to do that (it was not easy!!) and closed the casing and everything was alright, but some days later trinity started to have graphics issues. sometimes it hangs and the display gets kind of scrambled, when i reset it it posssibly doesn't show anything on the screen or it hangs during the boot, sometimes it helps simply shutting the device down and restarting, sometimes it helps pressing the left side of the casing (front and back casing elements) together.
what can that be? at the moment it works alright, but this is not ok for me. somebody with hardware know-how can tell me which part can be the "bad one" and what i can do to fix that? i don't want to pay the repair fee at htc tech partner, and i want to wait till the htc touch cruise is available to buy a new one!
thanks

Hi, I did similar thing...I assembled my trinity to change case to white. After the LCD did not work at all.
Of course service said, I broked garantee, and there is some problem with LCD cable plug.
what did the repair cost?
did you go to HTC? did they change the display plug?
it's a very subtle error in my case...
How To Disassemble HTC P3600
I also want to change my casing.
From what I hear ... this may be not such a good idea.
Hoever ... all I can help with is this disassemble manual for HTC P3600 (http://rapidshare.com/files/82751326/How_To_Disassemble_HTC_P3600__Trinity_.pdf.html).
Maybe disassembling, cleaning all the plugs and assembling it again can help (sounds stupid ... but who knows).
thanks ..
one of the problems with the casing i bought was that the metal counterparts of the screws were not(!) present in the new one. so i had to cut them out of the old one, heat them and press them into the new case. luckily, i had ordered two new casings (to change it again after some months when the grey/silver paint would have fell off till total aesthetic destruction - of this otherwise really slick phone - again), because trying to press that counterpart (don't know the word) without heating resulted in total damage
then I had hoped that not only the keypad, but also the electronics plate under the keypad (my "hang up" button still isn't perfect i have no "klicky" feel any more) would be included. no luck here.
so everybody please stay away from trying to change casings or any other hardware issue with your htc phones. i am opening my htc/qtek (before: s100, three units) phones for a longer time now and must say i will stop doing that and return to being a "normal" user. it all gets worse
thanks
I just remembered ... take a look at this site: http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
All the stuff looks genuine ... maybe this casing will fit you better and there are spare touch screens also.
P.S. White casing DOES NOT peel.

I went to E-care, the HTC support in Hungary. I was lucky, the expert repaired it free, but in the future there is no garantee
Lucky you ... there is HTC support where you live
my LCD screen broke.
I have replaced my LCD screen because it was cracked, the new screen does not even power up. I can hear wm6 running in the background but the digitizer nor the screen seem to be responding at all. If use the old screen it seems to work fine.
Any ideas or comments on how to get this new screen working?
btw, I have a gen1 htc p3600.

Hi,
I have a friend with a wizard that also have the problematic alignment of the screen lost.
I am considering to order this kind of replace from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.es/LCD-Touch-Screen...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
is this the correct hardware device?
thanks for the help
Rui
I guess its right, i never tried or bought it from eBay but by the pic and description it looks all right but dont go on my advice wait for other to post too.
I would suggest that you dismantle your wizard first and check the ribbon cable on your phone matches yours
I have replaced the digitizer on my old wizard before and found that there was 2 different digitizers, each had a slightly different ribbon cable. The first didnt work at all but the second worked perfectly. Also i noticed that on both digitizers the strips on the cables didnt align properly with the board, however it was still possible to solder.
Make sure you have a soldering iron with a very fine point, its very figity to replace.

Thanks.
yes I will do it first. My problem was to understand if this is the hardware component that makes the lost of align issue.
Nowadays we have to open the keyboard to recover the align values.
Thanks to all
Thats a very weird problem, it may be software related, a bug in the OS maybe?
If that is the case then backing up your phone then flashing with a rom of your choice may fix the problem (i would try that first before replacing hardware)
Personaly i would suggest the brightphone rom its clean and very fast, however you have to identify wether your phone is a g3 or a g4 and get the right rom. all in the upgrading guides

Make a search and you will find lots of posts with this problem.
It was present sincd the wm5, wm6, wm6.1, etc.
So, it's really hardware.... unhappily

Ok I need help from the gods of xda
I dropped my tilt the other day. When I picked it up everything seemed fine, yet the screen was completely white. No signs of cracks or a broken lcd. So I've tried the following: Soft reset, Hard reset, took out the battery, took apart the phone and disconnected the lcd and then re connected it. Still the same problem. WHITE SCREEN!
I can still receive/make calls, when i touch the screen in places where i remember the menus to be it still responds due to the noise, also the open and close noise still sounds.
The phone was bought new on Ebay, so i don't have a warranty through them or AT&T. After much research I hear people saying the same has happened to their phones as well and that there is a ribbon or flex cable problem. Something about still giving power to the LCD but not data, thus the white screen.
Now what I dont understand is do I need a new LCD because it has that ribbon/flex cable on it???? (link)
or
Do I need this product?(link)
Both contain a "flex cable" so im confused and frustrated, someone please help! any ideas would help

hi there, would it be possible to post the link to ebay item? i also need a new touch-screen.tnanks
I am curious about this as well. I have a friend who has a hermes and he mentioned to me that that his screen was starting to go white like explained here. I look at his phone and I also noticed that the bottom hardware keys were not working at all.
I am wondering if this same ribbon cable for the LCD would also be the same one for the bottom keypad and if I fix the screen the keys will become active again.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,

Tuck in for a long read and perhaps no single answer for all cases:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
In short, yes the d/pad cable and LCD screen connections are linked which is why it is not uncommon for the white screen to show up when the d/pad is not working.
To the OP - I would just point out that if you get the white screen after a fall it may just be a loose connection at the d/pad and no need for new parts.
Dismantling instructions here:
www.mikechanon.net
But let's not start discussing the white screen here, please use the first link I gave above if you need to post.

a user i dont recall now his name,fixed is whitescreen by replacing the camera,open the device and remove the camera module, reassemble to test.
Hi all,
I'm real frustrated at the moment with my i-mate jasjam branded hermes 100.
It started a couple of days ago when my screen would get all glitchy. I ignored it. Then i got it whenever i put pressure on certain parts of the casing and now from that it manifested and it does it whenever i hold it in a certain position etc... It's really starting to tick me off... 1300 dollars for this? has anybody experienced this issue? ive heard it's a hardware problem... im running shamanx windows mobile 6 ultimate rom...
I need my phone to keep in contact with some real important people.. any ideas?

He may have been lucky. Here we re-use threads and there have been quite a few on the white screen problem.
Here's one of the main ones - I suggest you look at the suggestions about placing a pad on the D-Pad chip:

ohk sorry but the buttons do work perfectly fine it's only the screen... also the usb port is loose so whenever i need to charge i need to push it in a particular way so i just place it on its face upside down to charge and i use an ftp program to get files off of it insstead of usb >-< it was a really nice phone till it started doing this and cbf sending for repairs il just buy a new phone when i get the money and yeah if i decide i might try something that requires opening it up but i just cbf

Well, the reason to pad the D-pad chip is because the d-pad circuit board is the one that the screen connector connects to and the chip is the one that processes the screen signals. So although your buttons work fine, it is still that board that causes the screen whitening.
The usb port sounds like the anchoring solder joints may be cracked. These can normally be resoldered.

Hi Gr33kJag,
Try to perform the solution provided by mikechannon only if u can assemble and de assebmle ur pda very accurately, because the pros and cons of that method are describle in that page.
This solution worked for me at least and i am very much thankful to mike for giving me solution to that problem.
