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..

Hi guys!
Long time no post!
I hope you can help point me in the right direction.
Two things started happening with my 8525 TyTN, rendering it unusable. I do have a backup one, so it's no panic. But I would LOVE to try to repair this.
Here's what happens!
1 - The two LEDs in front don't work! No green; no blue; no amber. (HOWEVER, When I first replaced the battery after a hard reset, I did see is glow red for a second!)
2 - None of the buttons on the front work! None. Start/End, the D-pad, mail, internet explorer. All dead!
Interestingly enough... the LCD screen is perfect, as is the touch screen.
The unit also works perfectly fine.
I did a Hard Reset.
I am using WM6.0.
I am wondering... PERHAPS there is some kind of ZIF cable that goes from the body to the top panel? MAYBE that came loose?
If you have seen inside your TyTN, is there one cable/ribbon for lights/buttons?
If so, that would explain it!
If there are two cables/ribbons.... one for lights, one for buttons, then the odds of them BOTH falling out are near impossible!
I would LOVE to hear any ideas or thoughts!!!
Thanks as always!!!!!

Hello and welcome to a new phone!
I have a similar problem, mine sometimes gets a white screen and the D-pad buttons rarely work for long.
It is quite possibly a loose ribbon cable.
There is actually a thread here about this issue - just do a search for 'white screen' or similar and you'll find it. It was posted to within the week so shouldn't be far from the top if you browse for it, but I can't remember which Herme's category it was in.
There's even a full guide with pics to pulling your 8525 apart!
Cheers! Oggy. ó¿ó
try a new rom,.
I have the same problem. I thought it was bcs my TyTN fell down once. It started with Iexplorer always popping up when I wanted to do something. I thought the IE button at the top was stuck or something and when I pressed hard on the message button everything was okay. All buttons worked. But after a few days they stopped working and pushing the message button wont work also. And both the red and green call button leds are always shining. It sometimes happens that the dpad works for a second and than nothing.
I used the original wm5 and flashed to 6.1 now, no change tho.
it's not the rom, tried several roms now
for me it's just the call answer button, but this is annoying enough
there are some topics in the hermes section which describe the problems you encounter or even worse problems (the lcd flickering or just giving you a bright shining white) and they all say it is a loose cable connector right under your dpad
some of them opened their tytn (guarante already gone) and put some sort of paper or rubber or sth else on the connector.
other say tighten or loosen the screews worked for them, but none of the solutions seem to be final, it always works for some time.
if you have still guarantee i would try sending back or try somewhere else a repair, that is what i will do with tytn
i hope i do not have to pay for the repair
good luck
Loose screw
I was able to fix this problem after ATT told me that I was out of warrenty and it was going to cost 499.00 for a new phone.
I it turn out it is a loose screw on the inside and to get to it you have to undue 11 screw to get to it. I might be able to fix it for you. I dought you would be able to get into this phone and not hurt any of the other functions.

Hi,
could you advise how you managed to fix it?
Thanks.
button failure and white screen
I have the same problems, if I turn off and on for 3/4 times everything back to normal. But is really annoying because I miss calls.
To me seems a software issue.... I can solve it by turning off the screen does not make sense hardware problems
have a look to this post:

I have still to test the suggestion of schaps advance config version 2.02.1.0.0
Sorry it not a software issue and you can flash a 100 roms and it still won't work. You simply have a bad flex cable and possibly a defective dpad circuit board. You have to crack open the phone to replace it and it has to be carefully done. There are tons of DIY's about opening the phone and replacing the cable. There are even YouTube Videos about it.
Yesterday I dropped my Touch HD. I was sitting down, and it was in the pouch, so I thought there wasn't any damage done. The phone seemed to work like it should. However this morning I noticed that in Opera my screen wouldn't rotate. So I tried different programs like the HTC Album, and the G-Sensor calibration. Neither of those give any sign of life, GSen doesn't work either.
I did a soft-reset, I don't want to hard-reset just now...
I didn't find anything using the search but did anyone else have (or hear of) this problem? Can I assume my G-Sensor is dead? I have warranty so its not that big of a deal, but still...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457985&highlight=sensor
give it a good shake, might be that the part that moves in the gsensor could have gotten stuck
Thanks for the link Juggler (wonder why I couldn't find it), however the solutions there didn't help me. I tried altering the settings in Advance Config Tool like in the other topic, but its still not working (didn't think it was a software problem anyway, but I'll try everything that might help...).
I tried shaking, tapping, and hitting the phone as hard as i dared to (don't want to brake it even more ), with no success.
The people in the other topic also had one of the bubbles in the calibration tool stuck to the left, hitting it on that side got the sensor unstuck. However both of my bubbles in the calibration tool remain dead center, so it looks like the phone isn't receiving any input from the accelerometer at all Its either broken or disconnected then.
I guess I'll have to send it back, unless anyone here has a miracle solution?
The problem seems to be solved... I have hit the phone a lot harder then I dared to do last time, en it's working again
I think it's a strange weakness though, my previous phones have had much more to endure, so I hope this is not a sign for the durability of the Touch HD in general... Especially since I'm not the only one with this problem.
Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help!
I'm sorta new and not exactly sure how to submit questions.
I installed the SPB mobile shell on my elfin htc and now the touch features don't work and my phone won't sleep without what appears to be the backlight on. Can someone provide some directions on how to fix this? Can't get to the bootloader either.
if you reset your device, can't it boot up into windows mobile?
if it boots up, why not connect it to the pc and try removing the last app through activesync?
if there isn't anything that important on the device, did you think of a hard reset?
Thanks for the quick response, however, I did do a soft reset, the screen is not responding (completely frozen). I've already removed the program, I thought was the culprit (spb mobile shell). I did a backup, but without touch features, I can't restore backup. I can't do a hard reset that's not working properly either. Any additional ideas, I'm at a complete lost.
Hi
Touchscreen of my HTC Touch (P3452) stopped working. I tired following:
- hard reset
- hard reset successful, then It asked me to tap the screen for alignment then I tap, it worked but on Calibrate screen where you align your screen touch is not working. nothing is happening after that even power button is not working. my Touch is not hanged coz if I touch the screen after It goes to sleep, the backlight will turn on.
So I though may be something wrong with the original ROM, then I tired flashing it with cooked ROM's but nothing worked.
I am still stuck at calibiration screen
-
Plz help, I miss my HTC Touch (P3452) so much!!!
If your touchscreen is not working, there could be only 2 solutions.
- Get a digitizer off dealextreme.com
- Hard reset device.
my $0.02.
Cheers.
What's a digitzer and what does it do? I've looked in cell phone accessories and did a search on dealextreme.com, however, unable to locate such an item. Can you provide a little more detail. Desperately trying to get this phone to work and right now this appears to be the only solution. Hard reset isn't working.

Come on, Google man!
http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.506~search.htc touch digitizer
Digitizer is a 'panel' which is above the LCD, which senses where your hand is at on the phone.
Something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet
It is just something which sense where is your fingers are in the touchscreen.
Hi toot-b:
I had a similar problem a few days ago. My screen stopped working completely. I gave it a few taps and a squeeze and it started working.
After a while it stopped working again and did not respond to the squeezing too. Then out of desperation, I tried searching the internet. One guy had given the most idiotic explanation I've ever come across.
He had advised to take a blade and peel away the LCD screen and after taking the screen away, to rub the copper contacts with the blade and then putting it back in!!!
Well, I was really really desperate and I had to try it. I didn't remove the screen completely. I just took the screen off a wee little bit on the bottom right corner near the camera button. I kinda got scared after that and put it back in.
To my surprise, the touch screen started working perfectly and till now its doing great. Try it at your own risk. All the best!!!!

i have opened hd2 so to fix something but i opened it between the touch screen and the digitizer...i have touched some things but till yesterday touch was working just fine but now it wont respond..anyone help???
Nothing much to say, other than that if you're lucky, you just dislocated the flat cable going to the motherboard, and you need to relocate it; just search for a disassmbly tutorial on these fora, or even on youtube, since there's at least one I know of.
Hi all,
First of all let me appologise for my bad english.
I have a G1 and yesterday after i called someone the touchscreen stopped working.
Now I tried a few things to test if it was really not working
- flashed a new rom to see if it was the rom
- used a backup when it was working.
- Reset the phone.
Now I opened the G1 and noticed the Flex Cable has a little tear in it.
At first i thought that was the problem, but i dont think that cable breaks that easy if you make a phone call.
(I reassembled the phone and the lcd screen is working and all but no touchscreen)
So i was wondering, is it common of the touch screen just stops working?
And is there a way to test the touchscreen?
Many thanks,
MacWell
I'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong place or if this already has been answerd, but i couldn't find it with the search button.
not sure if this helps but if you have a screen protector, than remove it.. try cleaning the seams... not sure if it will help but i read a few posts saying it helped others...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I do not use a screen protector.
I ordered a new G1 flex cable and I hope this will fix the problem.
However if it doesn't fix the problem I think i'll buy a new touchscreen for the G1.
But if anyone has an idea please tell me
