I have a Htc touch p3450 and its Lcd display is broken its just showing white light and two lines when i switch it on. so i went to a retailer shop where i get the display but when that shop guy changed the display and switch it on the lower part of motherboard near display plug is heating up then he says its motherboard is short(problem in motherboard). So he told me to go to repair shop and check it there after that changed the broken display. What u people think its natural the heating up of motherboard or its really shorted. What can be the problem. Please reply. i need your help.
Thank you
Please someone help on my problem.
Hey, not sure how much use this is, I had my (broken) elf apart yesterday whilst running it just as the motherboard, i felt it did get a bit warm, this could be because mine is broken, or we could all have this as normal behaviour. It will be interesting to see if anyone else can comment on this. I'll have a look on my spare tomorrow. Does your phone work fine otherwise?
Thanks for your reply CaptainStu. Yes except this problem it is working. But it is heating so much that its battery is also getting warm because of motherboard heating that's why i am not keeping it on more than 3 min.
I am confused what could be the reason of it.
please someone help.....
Hey smarty, this could be a bit random, how much is your device heating up by? Whats its running temperature? If you can measure that, I could probabaly get hold of a thermometer myself to see how hot the inside of the case gets after 3 mins etc, or even longer. We could, i guess, setup so we measure when at a peak load of running a movie or something that is going to be using a lot of processing power?
It's up to you, if you want to do so, I will too, so you can compare and see how different the results are, I do notice that the battery does get warm, not hot, but I think that is just with all the phones I have ever had!
In any case, I'll see what I can find tonight to measure the temps.
Stu
hai
did u check if u have the battery drain (some times it may be because of the battery drain it gets heated up) ... if not then think u should go for a change in motherboard.. i dont think it may cost u too much..
a change in motherboard in england would have cost of 170, so that is quite a bit!
First charge your phone to 100% turn it off and wait some minutes till it's cooled down then try to overclock your processor to a lower amount (of Mhz), like 150 and let it for around an hour or two and then you just raise up each 30 min the amount of Mhz by 10. This will help your phone to get used to the heat of it.
In theory it works, as I don't have the same problem, I couldn't give you a full answer which works 100% but some guys tried this too and worked for them.

yes its because of the faulty motherboard. i contacted a best repair center in my area and there repair guy said its motherboard is short and if i use it in this condition then it will become dead and if he tried to get it repair then it may become dead and its display is also broken so the display will come around in 1000 rs and the repair guy is charging 1000 rs if he able to repair it so the total cost will be around 2000rs and in market it is available in 3000rs(2nd hand) in good condition so i left it as it is.
hey friends , my hd2 was working very well untill touch screen stopped responding to any touch .. i haven't dropped nor damaged it anyway , it just happened suddenly ..
i found someone said it may be digitizer ribbon related proplem so i did what he advised :
[ Press the top of the red button (when pushing on the top your pushing the ribbon).
Press the bottom of the red button thus releasing the stress on the ribbon.
Press the green button. ]
i got it working for sometime then after i press on the red key it stop working again ..
please can anyone help me to fix this proplem .. ?
I got the same problem
Hi guys,
I have the same problem with my LEO 512, each time I try to reboot the device (Long pressing the power button) the touch screen hangs, but the buttons working properly, and whenever I activate the device by pressing the power button, or rejecting a call with it also the screen hangs.
I think there is a short circuit between the power button and the screen.
Anyone has any idea what to do to fix this issue???
Thanks
good day, unfortunately is a defect hd2 the only thing to do is send it in for service or replace the touch, have just made my warranty is also changing the screen and putting touch screen no longer equal to the original but different. the screen much more crisp and bright and the touch with a stunning response

I agree with you, I already sent it to HTC service yesterday, and first thing came to his mind that they would replace the "screen" or the touch or "both" , but he will check the power button problem first.
By the way, I got link (unfortunately I will not be able to submit it as I'm still new to the forum) this would help you. It is in the "Touch screen won't work" under the "General HTC HD2 discussion" in "HTCHD2forum(.com)"...

hey john , to which HTC branch you sent ?!
did he tell you that he can replace the digitizer only ?!!
& what about the cost ?!
also what is the important info. i can find in this forum ?
This is a common problem with the 512 HD2's. I have found that although some temporary fixes do help, such as using only the green button to wake the screen, and holding certain parts of the screen while pressing others do work in a pinch, but only a digitizer replacement will fix it permanently. The replacement digitizers are much better, and do not have the bug. Replacing the LCD with the newer one results in a much nicer picture.
Both of these parts can be found on eBay, and there are teardown videos on youtube to tell you how to replace them, saving you a fairly large amount of money if you are no longer under warranty.

Hi Needo,
I went to El Mohandeseen branch (Jovi Tronix), they have already replied me that they will have to replace the whole LCD screen with the digitizer, costing about 1,400 EGP (232$) which was a total loss for me .
Of course I refused, but thanks to "Cappii" who posted after you, I found the LCD screen with the digitzer in "ebay" which would cost about 475 EGP (78.5$) using "Edfa3ly.com service"!!!
A big thanks to you "Cappii"
I'm thinking of going to "Abd El Azeez street" first and check how much would it cost (if applicable), it would be faster than waiting for 2 to 4 weeks till I get the LCD screen from the US.
Wish you best of luck.

Anytime. If you do the repair yourself, make sure that you pay .attention to the connectors on the bottom of the main board. There are a few that are a little tricky. Overall, it's not an easy phone to repair, but it's a lot easier than iPhone 4's or HTC Arias.

Yes, I've watched how to disassemble and replace the touch screen videos on you tube before, I noticed that it is very complicated and tricky, but I like this kind of stuff, any way.

Thanks too much john , it's really great idea to use (edfa3ly.com) ..
also i've found someone can fix it for about 500 L.E (may be 400), they say he is expert with HTC & iPhone devices ..
if i repaired it myself , it will cost me about 300 L.E only , but with some risk as i heard that separating digitizer from touch screen can break it !
also i'll have to wait for about 2 or 3 weeks ..
i'm not sure about what i should do ..
what do you think ?!
& what will you do & why will you change LCD (i think the proplem is just related to digitizer ) & did you found it in " abd el aziz " ?!
& Thanks in advance sir

Hey Needo, What's up?
I didn't go yet to "Abdel Azeez street" but I'm willing to.
I prefer to have someone fix it for me; as it will be with less risk. But there is an advantage regarding getting the stuff from the US that you know they are brand new, not used.
I'm not expert in the hardware stuff, but this is the feedback I got from HTC that the whole LCD should be changed; this is why I need someone else to check it.
Could you please tell me more about this one you found, who can handle the HTC and I Phone???
Thanks my friend and wish you fix your phone soon (so do I )
Best regards,
John

sorry for being late in reply john ,
i sent it to this guy in " el srag mall " in shop called " Win Mac " he told me that he will change touch ( digitizer ) for 500 L.E in 2 days & he did it .. after i recieved it , it was working fairly good , but not like before .. then i tried to install WP7 , when it booted to welcome screen , found that i've no touch at all ..
returned back to WM 6.5 touch screen working , but not very properly .. tried to install NAND Android it gave me strange line of no.s & stuck at GO GO GO when i try to enter CWM ...
tried to boot into SD android Build , i got the same problem ..
so i decided to install WP7 again & sent it to him & told him about the problem , he told me to leave it & he'll fix it .. after 4 days i went to him & he told me that he tried to change digitizer for 2 times , but it's not working properly (in the best case , only the lower half of the screen got working) so he'll change LCD also ( the strange thing that he told me that i won't bey for that !!! & he will take my LCD instead ) ..
really i don't know if i should believe in what he say or not , but anyway i've nothing to do .. i'll wait to see what will he do !
what do you think ?!
Just wanted to chime in. I have heard various reports of having to change both the LCD and touch, although on my personal experience, the touch seems to fix it. Now, separating the LCD from the touch is a fairly simple process. Once the boards are removed, turn the unit over so that the touch and lcd are up. Heat the touch with a good hair dryer for about 3 minutes, and slowly lift with a plastic separator while its still very hot. Lift from the top, not the bottom.
There is a lot of tape on the bottomod the LCD. Heat LCD with the hair dryer, and slowly lift, keeping the frame flat on a table. If the frame warps, it will be next to impossible to reseat the touch and LCD. Make sure it stays flat.
Take your time and pay attention to all the wires. Take pics to reference where everything is. There is little to no tolerence for error on the rebuild.
I got it fixed

Hey Needo, I'm sorry for hearing that about your phone, I wish that it would be recovered soon, and this guy would be as honest as he said. I feel that he sensed that it's his fault to break the LCD. Anyways I wish that it would be fixed by now.
About me, I went to "Abdel Azeez street", hoping to find someone who might know something about this device, and you know what, I found that many people there already working with experience in Iphone and HD2. And I found that they fix it while you are with them to make sure that they don't cheat you, or fix it with used spare parts. For me, I found that guy who changed the touch in front of me with a new sealed one, it was a process of about 3 interesting hours, which cost me 550 EGP (91$). Of course it wasn't in the best quality as there are some dust between the LCD and the touch screen, and there is some light coming out from the bottom of the phone between the frame and the touch, but I consider them as minor losses . It's working perfectly now at last.
If you ever wanted his contact, I would be glad to forward it to you anytime.
cheers.
well i saw that this had been asked a long time ago, well i got "my legendary HTC HD2" from ebay.... i think i have been scamed by a hong kong seller, i think it was faulty and he kneww it and now im not under warranty, when i first powered the phone used it like for 15 minutes and rebooted into stick toggether and made 7 vibrations, and again and again... then i thougt it was software installed maglrd android bla bla... what is happening when unsing my phone at 1ghz in some time using browser or games it freezes and never returns back, about heat its warm the lowe part but not to hot i dont think overheating is the problem well you tellme and in bootloader it says security unlocked at the top. i dont know if has something to be with whats happening, its tmous unlocked,,,i think the chinese scamed me
WELL I FINALLY OPENED IT, and came to the conclution that was previously opened and filled with thermal paste, and red dot meaning it was in contact with water, scamed by hong kong celler sofwaytech, dont buy from them.
I thunk you have an underclocked kernel and that why you have those problems . I had those myself but when I updated kernel ( not Rom ) everything was working fine
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
no :S i tried like 5 roms with diferent kernels, no luck
It could be that the ROM's you are trying are overclocked too much for the phone capacity.
nope, i use them at 809 for not crashing if i use it at 1ghz i would crash, so its harware but i dont know who is going to fix it
isn't there a way to lodge a complain @ ebay if the unit is really defective?
BTW have you tried to restore it back to WP6.5 or try to install WP7?
also I bought one HD2 from Taobao (China biggest net seller) and had the same problem.
Everytime I turn-on data connection (actually edge), the phone freeze. Not too hot on the body, so heat might not be the problem.
Maybe the CPU frequency controll apps are the reason, but I have not experiment yet.
I will perform task29 and reinstall WM6.5 if i were in your case to test.
thanks to all for your answers. first off i knew i shouldnt trust in someone who is in hong kong, i live in argentina flew to miami and bought it, i think the compàny knows the problem, they unlock it and sell it to some resellers, and they list them as new and sell them, the freezes are when i turn on wifi or gps it dosnt matter, i know its hardware, but software goes with it, two problems damn
didnt want to revive this old thread for nothing, dont buy from softwaytech, bestpricellphones10, etc, i opened my hd2 since it stopped working, im on a galaxy nexus one, nvrmind, well i opened it and was full of thermal paste, o , well what could i expect? to the point i compared it to other hd2 disasembled and had a red dot marked with paper, bad unit, mehhhh. i burned it in the fire and throw it away, what a pitty, it was the greatest phone ever :crying:
outch! what a waste I couuld have used the digitizer one of my HD2's touch screen is dead

i think that the dot when it comes up in contact with water it changes colour, so i dont know, that paste shouldnt be there. saw some people disasmbling them none of them with that paste neither with red dot, i got scammed.
hello,
today i gave my i9506 in repair for changing display unit. the man in the shop i gave it to said that there is no difference between i9506 and i9505 when repairing the display and they will build the i9505 into it. but i read somewhere that there is a small difference. do you know about that? because i am confused now and scared that they will break my device

Hey
If I were you, I would contact Samsung support by mail or phone and ask them if this statement is true. I could believe it's possible, but again you never know when it comes to Samsung. They could have changed a little bit...

Done. The Support couldnt give me an answer on my question.. I will see what happens.
U can compare the devices on different internet sites and u will see that there is NO difference between those displays
well, there might be no difference, but actually, yes there was ! o:
i got it back yesterday, and it worked for 1.5 hours with restarting whole time and than it was dead and didnt boot normal or into recovery or download mode.
Now they have to reapair it better.. with i9506 display that will work 100%

yes.. they have differences.. if you control the codes on the seller sites you can see that they are different and incompatibles. it seems also that i9506 is a little brighter and larger. anyway the product codes are different
Hello.
So? Is there any happy ending?
I have changed display from i9505 too. and Phone is hanging, turning off and overheating...
Im interested if this is because of different display or because phone was wet when damaged display...
update: removed Antenna + Loudspeaker. phone still hot. but works now. So i do not believe that it is because of screen....

hey, nice to hear that it might not be the screen, for me the result is still unknown. My device was not working after letting them put i9505 display in it. It worked for quite an hour, than it restarted very very often and suddenly it didnt do anything at all. No Download mode or recovery mode too.
The shop said, that the software was completely deleted for no reason. but they flashed the firmware again but the problem with rebooting and after all having a "dead" device was still there. Now they are trying to find whats cauing this problem, and the will send it to samsung if they dont have a plan what it could be ( but i definetly know, that it has to do something with the screen, because earlier, befrore the display change, EVERYTHING worked fine!).
Im so excited how it will end, and especially, who is going to pay, if samsung has to repair what the shop has done wrong
Its really interesting....
I think they could break something when disassembling screen... It was quite difficult to remove some flexible cables as they were stick to screen.
If you have Samsung warranty then you can take only to Samsung dealers to repair, otherwise you loose warranty. That's how it is in my country.
update: My s4 was dead for half a day. but now fully working. have already flashed recovery and rooted... works like a charm
(it were restarting sometimes, after rooting restarts somehow have stopped)

finally i think (and i hope) i got a solution. Thex have ordered a i9506 display unit and finally understood that theyve done something wrong. now they will try to fix it and see if the fault was caused by the screen or not ^^ in some days i will now more
Well after trying to learn a bit about difference between i9505 and i9506 and shv-e330s i came to a conclusion that they might be the same device if samsung didnt magically decide to complicate things. I9505 and i9506 have different hardware and their displays are obviously not interchangeable. But, nowhere on the entire frickin internet was i able to understand is i9506 actually shv-e330s. Or are their screens compatible. So i asked samsung like this:
Hello! I would like to ask is there a possibility to replace a broken display on SHV-E330S S4. My father purchased the phone in South Korea and brought it to Croatia, but the phone fell and broke the LCD display. I am trying to find the display for SHV-E330S but I cant find any on the internet. My questions are - can I order a replacement display from Samsung directly? Or can I use the display for i9506 S4? They seem to be same variations regarding hardware inside, except for the DVB tuner antenna for SHV-E330S. Thank You in advance for Your answer.
Their response was just that they cant offer service outside of korea and that they are very sorry. Havent even mentioned the question about i9506 and shv-e330s.
So there ya go. You got shv-e330s outside korea? No help.
different screens
Hello there,
yes it is a different screen
I suppose it is interchangeable because I9500 or I9505 screen (I can't remember exactly) is working fine on my phone. BTW, I got the part and replaced by myself.
But, please note if they replaced your front panel as well, probably your MB was damaged. The front panel is a different one.

Hey,
Yes there seems to be a problem, at least you cannot use a i9506 screen on a i9505 Phone.
Seems to be a Problem with the connector, because the screen works until somewhat applies too much force on the conector (not much, just a tip with the finger is enough), like the backcase does when it is clipped back on. So the connectors might differ on the on the models. Hope this helps someone.

I sanded down the raised metal bit on the right of the motherboard mounting area. It fits almost but I have that pressure issue. Do you have more info so I can figure out what connector is pushed

Hello, I actually have a small problem on my phone.. I searched for the solutions but I am unable to find a reliable fix.. Everybody has a quite different type of this problem..
Phone model: Meizu m2 note
Previous os : Flyme 5(stock)
Current OS: Cm 12.1 (by Moyster on xda)
SCREEN FLICKERING
Well, before I start I would like to say that my phone has actually survived a water bath.. The phone fell in the swimming pool when my friends were trying to click a pic.. It didn't switch on, on the same day, but I disassembled it completely, and let it dry for a week.. Later the phone worked completely fine.. It's been 3 months since the incident...
Well the problem now is the SCREEN FLICKERING.. I guess It has nothing to do with the water damage cause that was almost 3 months back and this problem started around a month ago, when I was on flyme 5. And nope, the phone has never fallen off my hands.. The phone works fine for maybe the first 30 minutes after keeping it idle for a long time... The screen flickers even during the bootup, fastboot, and even in recovery..
I have two Meizu m2 note in my home.. The other one is my mom's phone.. And I almost update same roms on both the phones.. And my mom's phone is working completely fine and not facing this problem.. I don't have a warranty for this anymore, but I can still give it to the company's service center.. The main reason I posted this thread is because I just wanna know if this is a software or a hardware problem.. Cause in few other threads they said that this had sumthng to do with the kernel and stuff.. I don't wanna leave my phone at a service center for 2 months if this is fixable at home..
Not the complete screen flickers, but only the upper top part of the screen..
I have attached a YouTube link for a perfect view of the screen.. The phone on the video is my phone..!

Is there any way to fix it, or i have to give it to the service center..?
Well, I asked one the senior members of XDA, and got this reply.. yes, it was helpful...!
if your phone went in a pool and you disassembled it and made it working again, you might have forgotten to re-sit the cables / cables connectors, and the more you use the phone, the looser it gets....
Considering you said 3 months (and I'll assume India is a humid country), this might be a connector having corrosion too (I know it happens a lot to my cousin in the Caribean islands).
If that flickering keeps happening even after you check cables and corrosion, I guess (considering meizu parts are cheap) your only solution is to change the LCD screen (as this is a miniature part, some water can get stuck in really tiny/enclosed space and make a short-circuit/corrosion).
Assuming this happened 3 months after the "pool drama" ( ) you should probably be able to repair your phone, the board works, the battery works, if it's not the cables or corrosion, it's the LCD display.. And if all that doesn't work, contact Meizu

I'm soo sorry I did not inform you about this! :victory:
Well, it was just like u said.. I disassembled the phone completely and found salt like white powder all over the motherboard.. Even inside the cable connectors!
Soo I cleaned it up using a soft brush with some liquid..
Blew some pressurized air with a small air gun I have, just to remove the small dust contents.. I also noticed that the connectors have turned brownish in some parts. . But..!
The flickering has almost reduced 90%..! Before it flickered all day long and now it happens only once or twice a day..! That too only for 5 to 10 minutes..!
Well it's okay now.. I didn't spend any money, or give it to the service center and wait for weeks..
Thank you @Moyster.. I wud have never even tried this if u didn't tell me to.. I was planning on giving it to the company itself.. Haha... :fingers-crossed:
