Hi,
My DZ is clearly defective. It first happened on CM7 and this is stock rom. Check it out for yourself. Whenever the keyboard it pulled out, the screen fades to black. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm posting this as I see a lot of screen problem threads and wondering if maybe this is a new one.

I beleive the cable has been damaged. Im talking about the one under ur screen, when you slowly slide out the keyboard

Did you manage to find out why it's happening? It started to happen to me as well. It doesn't seem to be a software issue since I tried different ROMs (CM7, MIUI, G-Lite) and same thing happened. I did notice later on that if I tried to open the keyboard slowly, the screen would unlock and turn on just fine. If I slide the keyboard fast like I usually do, the phone unlocks, the soft buttons and the keyboard light up, but the screen stays black.

I had very similar behavior on mine and it was the ribbon cable, I can't really think of another thing that would cause that

Alright, this problem is a bit different than what I have seen. The screen goes to white when the phone is closed, meaning the keyboard is not slid out. I tried the put a plastic piece under the D-pad trick, still a no go. Now whats weird is if you slide the keyboard open, everything works perfectly fine, the screen acts normal, but as soon as I slid the keyboard closed, the screen fades to white. If I slide it open again, it works normally without even having to do a hard reset. This time it seems to be the LCD since I tried it in another phone, and the same problem happened, so is does anyone know what part of the LCD would need to be fixed? Is the solder on the ribbon going from the digitizer to the LCD loose or is it something that I can't fix at all?
OK another thing I've found out is that it only happens with the AT&T WM6, when I have WM5 on the phone, the problem does not occur at all. If I turn the phone on in bootloader mode, the problem is not there at all either....anyone have any idea what it could be?
Tried LCD
LCD is not the issue I have replaced it. Still have white screen...
I'm thinking it might be the flex cable..

This isn't inconsistent with some of the other things I have read on this issue at all. You're saying you haven't read about it occurring in conjunction with sliding the keyboard in/out but others have definitely noted that this causes it to happen for them.
So I would look at fixing it the same way -- troubleshooting the d-pad cable. If you have already tried this, then double-check that what you changed hasn't fallen apart and also make sure you did exactly what others have said to try.
I did some searching for someone reporting a similar issue but i didnt find anything.
my question is with an issue im having with my cing 8125. when i slide the keyboard out, or even start to slide it out, the screen goes really crazy, and isnt readable. i tried to take some screen shots of it, but the issue doesnt show up on screen shots since the screen capture intercepts the signal before it gets to the display. has any one else had an issue like this? is it possible to open up my wizard and fix it, or am i stuck using the onscreen keyboard until i get a new phone?
Have you tried to reset your device? Maybe its really just a problem with your firmware. If it were a hardware problem, it would not only appear if you slide the keyboard out, i think.

Whenever i slide out the keyboard the screen either becomes unresponsive or blacks out. I tried flashing two diff roms from itje and smaberg but they both have the same problem. The screen also becomes very inaccurate and unresponsive. Anyone have such problems?
Nope, here is fine.
The question - does the situation STAY this way or just happens for a few seconds?
Now the screen doesnt even work, when i slide out the keyboard the whole screen blanks out.
custom rom?
Exactly.
The questions:
1. Do you use custom ROM's?
2. Or what did you install
Also
3. Did your phone falled down? I mean - it may be a mechanical problem with connection with 2 parts of the device, no?
I've tried 2 custom now im back on the official one, looks like its going to the service centre. I think its a mechanical problem. When the keyboard is slid out, the screen appears to power down with some colours appearing, when it is in fact still on.
I think the magnet of your x1 has some problem,as we all know,system determine the keyboard sliding by magnetic induction,
and here is a way to test it,you can put you x1 on somethings which has a big magnet, if x1's screen rotate, I think magnet of your x1 has some problem or lose,
I sent it to service center. Hope it gets fixed well.
Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one
Hi guys, I have experienced a number of screen relates issues on my D800 since the Lollipop upgrade. I am pure stock, took the upgrade OTA from ATT.
1. Knock on stopped working. Knock off works OK. I tried all of the suggestions online, update touch firmware, etc. but still no help. This is no big deal since I can use the back button to wake up the phone.
2. I noticed scrolling was unresponsive in Chrome but ignored it because I thought it might be me.
3. I was out and on the phone and I noticed I could not hear her well all of a sudden and then the call got disconnected. I tried to put my PIN in to unlock the phone but that area of the screen was totally unresponsive to touch. I could enter the numbers in the second row of the grid but there is a 1 in my pin and that would not register. I restarted a bunch of times which I had to do only with buttons because I could not click 'OK' on the screen to confirm the restart. I got a screen on the phone saying my screen was unresponsive and this is how to answer calls only with the buttons etc.
I got home and used by OTG mouse connection to enter my pin and navigate the phone. I did a factory reset which I had never done before. The responsiveness seems better now. There seems to be one section of the screen that is unresponsive, right near the middle. I can't click on any of the icons in the second row from the bottom. I can get to the notification shade which I don't think I could do before.
I am attaching an image of a memo where I just ran my finger up and down the screen without lifting it. You can see the dead area.
Has anyone had this problem or knows of any solution? Thanks very much.

I just RMA'd it. It probably is the same problem you had but I am pretty sure I am still under warranty so I just sent it in.
