Hi Guys,
i got a problem with my good old HD2: I flashed the SonyArcHD ROM on my device, it worked for a few weeks, but then, i did nothing, the screen went black. First i was able to "turn it back on" when i pushed it a little bit against the board, that worked for a few more days, but thet the screen went black forever. The background light is working, it even boots up(it happened when i just used it like elsewhen), i got even a haptic feedback from the unlock handle on the lockscreen, what means that it works perfectly "behind the black wall", but it shows nothing on the screen. Not even the bootloader. But the funny thing is, i never dropped it again, or damaged it anyways. It just hapened from nothing!
So has anyone a idea what i coul do?
Thanks, Jukpulfer.
Sorry for my badass english...
IMO you should check LCD to motherboard connector, maybe it is loose or dirty because of moisture/dust/whatever.
If no improvement(aka solved), I'm afraid you LCD is dying!

I bought the Qtek 9100 from a seller on ebay who listed it as faulty due to not booting..
I assumed it was most likely the battery, So I ordered it, cleaned it up a bit, waited a whole MONTH for the battery to arrive (Damn you customs! haha), charged it, And whoop, it turned on.. Kinda..
It showed the O2 boot logo, then suddenly the screen started showing this very bizarre set of lines almost as if the ribbon was broken.. this however couldn't be the case, as the O2 logo was displayed fine, and opening and closing it didn't affect the screen..
So now.. Having booted it and had it crash before even loading windows, it refuses to turn back on, So I attempted every trick to hard reset it.. No luck
The only luck I've had, is holding the power button down for 30 seconds with the battery removed, and putting it back in for it to complete the above syptom.
I'm assuming as it boots the logo perfectly fine, it's not the battery (it's brand new, and is charged from a separate charging facility) Not the screen either.. So, It's got to be something else? :S
I'm trying to put as much information possible as to get the most informed solution to my problem :/
I'd truly love a solution for this as I've spent the remainder of my money on this phone (only a student) and really require a working phone soon.
Thank you so very much , PLEASE HELP! D:
Thanks guys lul
problem
plese forgive me for my bad english but i hope you understand what i try to say! i have 2 qtek 9100 with the same problem! i i resolve the problem in one way at both of the phones! i disassemble the phone on the location of the display screen and there is 2 integrated circuit boards and between them i put a piece of paper and at the bottom of the screen one horizontal piece it seems that was the problem integrated plates touching each other is that the phone was disassemble before! i hope this information will help you !
hi all
my htc touch elf (P3450) display turned to white with black patch at one place & some lines all of a sudden. it was working all fine. i was charging when a call came. i disconnected recieved the call. after that the screen turned white
Tried restarting but no result.
I can hear the notification of a message coming. but no ringing tone when i tried calling from other number
Please bail me out.
regards
Hardreset could be the solution
not resolved
i cannot see anything on the screen except white screen with black patch.
i tried hard reset with imaginary screen but not resolved
i see no visible screen cracks
how to check if screen is crack?
It may be that the LCD is cracked, thats what it sounds like to me, anyways. Check the connector as well though to make sure it is all connected correctly.
The white with black patch does sound broken to me though (Sorry!)
Stu
Hi Stu, I just received my friend's ELF. His display turn white, but the device still be able to receive phone call. trying to enter bootloader, all I get is white screen with some black-horizontal-thin lines. Tried to hard reset, now it seems the device is on phone setup position so I can not get anything.
Is this LCD issue? Could it be broken? FYI, before this happen, there's already one dead pixel on the screen.
BTW...is it possible that upgrading to cooked ROM can bring LCD broken? may be, unsuitable ROM?
regards,
Bom81
Not sure if flashing a cooked rom would kill the screen - although I would say thats very unlikey.
It does sound like the sceen is broken, theres one way to find out - If you don't mind giving it a go - you could always try your screen quickly in his phone - I'd imagine you're fairly familiar with the internals by now
(I do have a spare screen laying around now - JTAG is no longer able to pick up my bricked elf at all - full battery etc how I was doing it no longer works - guess it is dead for sure now!)

Hahaha..LOL, Today I did want to put my LCD on my friend's elf. but I forgot to bring the opening tools to my office. guess I'll do it tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll let you know after my experiment with this thing.
A little bit Of Topic on this thread, I think so, your device has problem
so even the JTAG method will not be able to connect to the processor. Too bad you're in england, otherwise, the spare screen could be very useful here. LOL
UPDATE
ok..confirm the LCD is broken. I've changed the LCD with mine, and the device is working fine. i guess the dead pixel is the cause of the problem.
Should be able to find one cheap enough on ebay - I do seem to find it cheaper to buy another faulty one (maybe even bricked) as long as the screen is working
Need help on my HTC Touch
Hi Guys,
I really need your help badly. I have an HTC Touch (Elfin), I presume (128/256MB). The problem is i have downloaded the official windows mobile 6.1 rom and extracted the .exe file using Winrar. After which, i copied all the files to the sd card and renamed the .nbh file to ELF0IMG as instructed in the forum.
I put back the sd card and pressed the camera button and the power button at the same time. When it booted up it says reading from SD card and I can see that it is extracting the roms and ext roms. Afterwhich, there was a progress bar and then soon after a while screen turned to blue and then white. Currently now, as I am tying this the screen is still white. Please advise me asap in what to do? Thank you very much.

Ur display screen has been broke as simple as that..
Ok. Here is the thing.
I've droped my phone down, straight on the screen, no problems. 5 minutes later, when my brother was trying to play on it the screen turned white, with no stripes.
After 1 month i even forgot i had an htc, found it in my office drawer, and i thought of reinstalling the rom. But before that i pushed very hard on the screen, i took the battery out, pushed it in the battery space and after i started it worked like a charm.
Hello all!
I would like your opinions/knowledge on how likely you think it is that my problem is a simple disconnected cable, and if it would be worth it to take apart my phone (I've never done it before.. but I'm careful) to see if I can just reconnect it.
I woke up one morning and my screen would not turn on =( I did not drop it or get water on it, although it had been very humid. The screen is not cracked and it is still responsive to touch (vibrates when touched on the soft keys on the bottom) but it is completely black, no flickers, no faint images, no nothing. I also have not seen the LED light up since this has happened, when charging or plugged into my computer or anything. My computer DOES recognize the phone, and I have used the Motorola utility to update my phone since this has happened, but that did not fix it. I have tried all of the key combinations and I have successfully rebooted it (I can hear the droid start up noise, the camera sound when I hold power and down volume at the same time, and it sounded like I almost accidentally made a call when messing with it last night).
I have not yet been able to factory restore it or anything like that from recovery, as I am flying blind, but I'm thinking this is a hardware problem with the LCD?
The phone is not rooted and boot loader is not unlocked. It's only a few months old but I bought it used online so there's no returning it or anything like that.
I just don't know enough about any of this to know how to proceed next. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!

it would still be under warranty by motorola - especially if you accepted the OTA recently (May 2013).
otherwise, I would try leaving it plugged in for awhile (30-60 minutes), then try rebooting it (hold down all 3 buttons)
Thank you for replying!

How do I go about collecting the warranty on a phone that I bought used? And what would happen if it showed water damage? I swear I have not gotten any water/liquids on it, but this did happen after it was very humid out for a while, and I have read that high humidity is enough to spread the red dye (regardless of whether or not high humidity actually caused the problem)

call motorola (or go to their website and bring up a chat session in their online support section)
Try tapping it somehat hard with your finger all around the phone to see if it flashes the screen.

Hi,
After Xmas I made factory reset with TWRP and I made an upgrade to CM13.(6.0)
It was working fine.
When I was trying to make next daily update, after reboot, screen became black and nothing shown up.
I was trying a lot of things since that moment.
When I was going back from service point (I really want to sort it out) when they told me it is probably LCD broken (i have broken glass, but 1 year ago, so I do not believe it can be screen),
when I take phone out I spotted that keys are highlighted so I swiped and it locked out and shown screen! it was working perferctly fine,
so I decided that it is best moment to flash newest CM to solve issues, but after reboot screen was black again.
I can enter download mode so it is visible in Odin, but screen is black in every mode.
There is only quick flash on screen when turning on and also really short moment of Samsung Galaxy logo which becoming dark quite quickly.
I flashed stock rom(5.0), but nothing changed, despite of that I know phone is turning on somehow because I hear music on turning on...
Can someone help?
I really doubt that it can be hardware issue.
Can it be something with BL ? How can I solve it...?
I recently got a somewhat new YD201. It was never really in use and just laid there for about 1-2 years, so it was completely discharged. I started charging it, everything went fine - the back screen worked without any issues. Then, after some more charging, it randomly stopped. It's now stuck at a particular screen and won't move anywhere, even if I try unlocking it (I'm getting the vibrations but no visual feedback). No matter what I do, I'm stuck at a frozen back screen.
The phone seems to be usable outside of it but I'd like to use the back screen too if it were possible. Is there anything I could do? I already tried a factory reset but that didn't help.

Sounds like the screen is not getting any power. It could either be a faulty connection or even a broken screen. Maybe it got a nasty bump or was under a lot of pressure?
Were you using it when it froze or was it in between uses? Might someone have messed with it?
