I had this HTC Mini that it was working very well and i had no problem with it. but suddenly, one day, I woke up and I found it off. it had turned off automaticly. i turned it on and it worked, with no problem. but after a few days, it got worse. this time, when it automaticly turned off, i wasn't able to turn it on right away. but i could turn it on, a few hours later.
after that, it worked well for almost 2 weeks, but then it turned off again and this time i couldn't turn it on, at all. I tried everything I could. I changed its ROM and used the last update. I also used its general ROM. I tried reseting it. but none of these did any go0d for me and it's still off and I can't trun it on.
it's nessecary to mention this... when I push the button to turn it on, it's not like the phone react nothing, like it's dead. it works and reacts. it turns on and the white screen for turning on and saying welcom, shows up. but after that, it stops on this white screen and does nothing. it always reacted like that but after almost 5 minutes, it would turned on completly. but now, it doesn't turn on, no matter how long i wait and keep it on with that white screen.
plzzzzzz help me, what's wrong with this cellphone??!
P.S: I think it's a hardware problem, because almost 3 months before happening all these, i had an accident while HD mini was in my pocket.

Now what rom are u using?
anyway if we will not resolve it the best thing will be this: install the lastes OFFICIAL rom for our devices and carry it to repair...
I tried the official rom, but it didn't work either. I carried it to a repair man, but he couldn't do anything about it. and here, in my country, the repair men are not go0d enough to fix any difficult problem.

Everything works fine except that the screen is white with jumbled colored lines. I had MyMobiler running and I could see the phone perfectly from it and use it. A soft/hard reset will not work and I tried flashing back to button rom with no luck.
This happened to me before but I flashed button rom and everything went back to normal. Then it happened again 2 weeks later and this time I decided to try stuff out and discovered that putting backlight to nothing then putting it back on fixed the problem. But this time, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? Should I try the method posted in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424553
Aye, I posted that, and it is the fix of choice around here for that problem. Do it and all should be fine again.
Ok I will try that in the morning but I didnt think it was hardware related since I managed to fix it by flashing the first time.
Well, it seems to be a tempormental problem. Some people can "slam" their keyboard shut and it will fix it for good, while others have to take their phone apart to get it back to normal.
Thank god! I successfully fixed my display by flashing the original cingular 8125 rom !!!!
Now I have regrets about slamming the keyboard/'gently' hitting the display poor phone.
Ok I spoke too soon.. after the flash was completed, it went back to the messy display.. Well I know now that it is not hardware related.
Update: I had my phone plugged to the PC with USB and had backlight constantly on.. 3 hours later, the screen came back to normal... Hmm?
I have found a permanent solution for this. I have noticed this problem occurs when my battery is very low and my phone turns off right when I switch the phone on.
So to solve this, if powering on phone didnt restore the screen, just press the reset button until the screen fixes itself. It has worked everytime my phone had those white and colored lines.
I am having this problem for last 1 week or so. My Touch HD screen won't turn on, stays black but in the background it's working. it's responding to touch gestures. vibrates when i press call,end, home buttons. I have installed My Mobiler, so i can see the screen in my PC but it's all black in phone. Sometime it comes back in few minutes and sometime it takes hours. I have tried hard reset, different roms, stock rom, stock spl, updated radios but nothing so far. Is it a Software issue or is it hardware based?
Thanks in Advance.
anyone?.......

no i don't think i have ever dropped mine.
I have tried everything i can think of, it just started happening about 10 days ago. It's getting worse now, screen stays black for hours, even restarting the phone doesn't help.
This actually happened to mine as well, and I was very close to sending it back under warranty. However I removed the battery & SD Card overnight and tried phone again. This time it rebooted fine with screen working properly. Try this and see if it works.
The problem with the HD is its not very well put together and a number of people have had issues with motherboards & faulty/loose connections with the screen resulting in the symptoms you are experiencing.
If has since happed again and I decided I couldn't wait so I took device apart and fixed loose connections again.
Under no circumstances should you try this unless you are 100% comfortable and know what you are doing as opening up device will void your warranty
My phone died today and when I got home to charge it, I noticed that after pressing the sleep/power button, the screen turns off and then about a second later comes back on. It does this regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I took it into Sprint and they're going to give me a new one when they get their paws on some. Right now I'm just looking for ANY possible work around to the problem.
I've done a factory reset, added a pattern/code, and installed NO LOCK but nothing can keep the screen from coming back on after pushing the power button...
(I also had another problem with the phone, the camera has a HOT PINK tinge about 85% opacity. I can go without the camera for a few weeks until the new one gets here but any help with that is very welcome)

are you running a rom ?

Everything is stock.
Mine had a similar problem when I was on 2.1 I would charge the phone overnight and at some point in time the phone would turn the screen on and not turn back off. Or sometimes it would sitting on my desk and just randomly turn the screen on. After I upgraded to 2.2 it stopped. I never could figure out what was causing it to wake.
Are you using ChoiceDialer+? There is a known bug where the screen will not shut off after making a call with ChoiceDialer, though a reboot does fix it.
Recieved my HD yesterday, and this is the symptom of the issue:
When the phone reaches its screen timeout (whether its 30 secs or 10 mins) period it the phone turns off completely. It is not possible to then turn the phone back on using the power switch or any other way. The only way the phone can be turned back on is to take the battery out and put it back in.
Initially i thought maybe it was the battery and somehow it didnt have proper connection with the copper contacts. However if i turn off the screen timeout off completely then the phone stays on and doesnt turn off. So as long as the phone doesnt go into power save mode or screen timeout its fine and stays on. Its also not the power switch as the switch works fine other wise.
I rang HTC support, spoke to some clueless call centre lady who tried to tell me it might be a proximity issue. I dont think it is as i dont have any issues when making or receiving calls. The problem is for some reason screen timeout causing the phone to completely shut down. I have searched on a few forums and cant seem to find anyone else with this issue.........FML
Forgot to add, i have also done the following:
- Reset to factory default
- Checked for udpates (get a message saying my phone is up to date)
- Made sure phone sim cover and battery cover are properly secured
Nothing has worked so far

So the switch turns the phone off and on again, or just off?
switch turns phone on and off any other time but after screen lockout kicks in it doesnt do anything, i have to take the battery out to turn the phone back on.
In a normal scenario if i want to power the phone down and then power it back up again then it is fine
Hope that makes sense
It really sounds like a software issue.
Is your DHD branded or unlocked?
Maybe try install some of the custom roms from arround the forum.I use LeeDroid 1.2 and it works like a charm.
Go to "ROM Development" thread. There are a few HOW-TOs on the top. There is always a risk u mess things up but it's small and from how it sounds, u don't have much of a choice anyway good luck
Its a branded "Orange" phone from the UK. I think im just going to return it and get a replacement and if i still have issues then ill try your suggestion thanks. Really disappointing, Desire HD seems to be riddled with issues.
Hey, I'll make this as accurate as possible so that you guys can help in any way.
I've had this g1 for a while, but didn't really use it because I was using my Touch Pro2, but wanted to go back to it for a while. I charged it for a little while, and then tried turning it on, but what happened was that I saw a striped pattern, which disappeared and then the g1 vibrated. It happened again, but the colors weren't as bright, and then it vibrated again. After 2 or 3 more times that this happened, the g1 backlight stayed on, but the screen was blank, and it kept vibrating after a little while. After like 2 minutes of this happening, the backlight was still on, but the vibrating stopped, and the phone never turned on.
I tried connecting it to my computer, and couldn't do that because it didn't pop up on the computer screen (g1 screen is blank, but on). The charger works because the orange light comes on.
What is the problem, and how can i fix it?
any help will be much appreciated.
thank you
P.S. can't enter factory reset (holding down the home+end key), it does the same thing.
