Hi guys, my T-MOUS HD2 just failed on me today.
I installed a NAND android update this morning and it was all good for a while, I left it on the couch for 20 min and after I came back, the display didn't work. Everything else is functioning normally: LCD's backlight, buttons, touchscreen. The phone was able to boot into android and function as normal but it's just that the LCD will not display anything (just black).
I have installed the stock rom by going into HSPL blind, but that didn't change anything, still no LCD.
My question is: has anyone else encountered this before? Could it be an LCD problem or a display chip problem? Should i invest and buy a replacement LCD screen?
thanks guys.
Hmm iunno if the problem of auto brightness persists in NAND builds too, but anyways, try putting your hd2 screen near a very bright light and try to turn the screen on, if that works yay, its not bricked, and i suggest you turn off auto brightness in settings after. If that doesn't work then damn....

Do I blame the onboard video or the LCD itself for this problem? I've taken the phone apart and re-seated the motherboard connections, which was no help. If I connect using EveryWAN the phone appears to be working fine, in fact I flashed the T-Mobile ROM and than the Button ROM thinking it was a IPL/SPL issue. Even if I try to start in boot loader mode the screen still looks the same.
Just trying to decide If I need to replace the motherboard or the LCD.
Thanks,
Bump back to the top!
Screen seems intact without any damage visible, no cracks or out?
Had this problem once with my old Universal, was the colour transfer wires that were loose, but pretty sure the Uni is totally different to our wizards.
Prehaps open her up and see if theres anything thats loose prehaps.
I had it opened and re-seated both the connecting cables, but no luck.
Ive had this problem with my wizard .. i couldnt find a solution. tho i didnt really try very hard. Basicaly just picked up another one on ebay for like £30 seemed cheaper than spending the time and effort fixing it. I think mine got progressivly worse. It used to do it occasionaly and now just it as soon as its switched on
i have a same sort of problem...
left of the screen fills with lines and the whole screen fades to white.
turning on and of the screen via power button takes it back to normal but then it happens again.
noticed it only happen in portrait so i have to set it to landscape all the time
for some rom and spl's it happens just a few times a day and others i cant use it in portrait.
If i find a solution it might be working for you to
Fading white screen of death
Could be the battery. Have you tried a new battery?
Solved.
The LCD itself was bad.
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!

Ok, I recently fell on my HTC Trophy(Verizon Version), cracking my screen. Before that happened I had a weird LCD problem that came out of nowhere. I replaced both the touch digitizer and LCD screen successfully and turned it on. It worked perfectly. No screen defects ect. Then I later turned it on and the same problem happened! Here are some pics to show you. Do I need A new LCD (oh god) or can I fix it? any answers will be much appreciated. Also, the auto thread search thing is wonderful, great idea!
EDIT:I can't see the spots when the LCD is off.
When I was doing a laptop LCD replacement screen, I had accidentally left a bubble and was so annoyed that it would not display where the bubbles were.
However after 2 weeks the bubbles just disappeared and the laptop's LCD screen was working correctly.
You might want to wait a little longer and see if the heat will evaporate it?
(Good luck)
I have a odd backlight issue going on with my G1 i took some pic and now the backlight won't come on no matter what setting I choose, if i slide open the screen and tap the backlight setting it comes on but it won't with the screen closed any thoughts? oh and when i open the screen I have to change the backlight setting in order for it come on
Question and hopefully someone has an idea could this be hardware and here is why I ask if I turn off the phone the backlight doesn't comeon at boot if i open the screen and boot the phone it does.
I am stuck and hate to set and dismantle the phone for no reason
did you drop it? a lot? lol not sure why that would happen unless the rom has a bug in it... what rom are you flashing? or is it stock tmobile firmware?
to be honest I don't remeber which rom I flashed it about a yr ago it has been working fine since I decided to dismantle the phone to check the ribbon cables as I noticed if i open the screen just a bit the screen works. however they were fine does anyone know how the screen switch on the G1 works i was thinking maybe it may be the problem as while i had it open I put power to it and played with the ribbon cable and it had no effect but moving the screen did.
Thanks,
yonu
P.S. sorry for long post
hmm. maybe a wire or sensor got unplugged or moved when you dismantled it... with out seeing it i cant really think of what could be the issue... i kno you tube has 100's of videos on taking apart the g1 lol maybe see if you skipped a step...?
Nope didn't skip a step I simply was hoping tat someone knew how the screen switch worked so I could try bypassing it as I think it is my problem
hey guys
for a long time i am having this issue with my screen.
it flickers sometimes, no pattern of times. but it does flickers almost all the time when i put it on automatic backlight, or if i set the brightness to lowest level, or 1-2 level more than lowest.
at first i thought the battery may be going bad, because i did have battery issues. but now that i have bought a new battery, it still happens.
i read that it might occur because of the s-view covers. but i have s-view covers for almost a year, and it only happens for about 3-4 months.
though i did buy a new s-view cover on august. could this be related? i think i did have flickering problems even earlier than august.
either way, i had removed the s-view cover from my phone, it does seem to flicker less. and weird thing, sometimes it just enters the s-view mode where all screen goes black except the window part... maybe the phone misses the cover
any way. what could be the problem? how can i solve it? maybe i should format the phone and install another rom? i have the latest Omega rom version right now.
thanks everybody.
anybody help?
no one?
I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues... Done a substential amount of digging and finally discovered the app "Twillight" works like a charm by enabling backlight control...Just try it out with similar issues and post your review and thank me...Cheers...
