HELP my screen appears to be dead - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I have an SX66 (which I upgraded to winmobile 5 about 2 months ago). Which riding home on the subway today my subway card got between the screen and the keyboard. And now my screen appears to be dead. I turn my on sx66 on and only the green and red buttons for the phone comes on. I did a soft and then hard reset without any luck. Anyone has any idea about fixing this?
I want to take my screen off to take a look see, does anyone now what number/type of screw driver I need?

Hey guys, not to worry, I did the warranty exchange. I got the phone on Friday. It took a total of minutes total to get back winmobile 5. Special thanks to this site for the upgrading info on the wiki

Sorry
SOrry for the bad news but i had to have the set changed as the service centre also could not get it right.

Dead Alpine
I experience frequently this type of behavior after playing for too long the Jawbreaker game.
Solution I found by accident : remove the main battery for 1/2 hour, put it back, hard reset and realign the screen.
Good luck.

My XDA2i dies every time when I remove battery and put it back. This is very annoying, on the travel where I don't have mains power, but spare battery. Is there any way to wake it up without external power. Please help.
Thanks in advance JCH.

AT&T Tilt locked in tri-colored screen! Help!

Yesterday I took my battery out of my phone to remove the dust from inside the phone. When i replaced the battery back into the phone, it booted up into the tri-color screen and has been there ever since. I haven't modified the phone since receiving it from AT&T at all. When i actually noticed the problem I tried to reset the phone through the hole on the bottom of the phone. At first, it booted up normally but was out of batteries since it had been running on a bright screen for a couple of hours. Thus it turned off immediately. I have tried to reset it again but it seems to do nothing. Since then when I put the battery back in and I turn the phone on it returns to the tri-colored screen and it says SERIAL in the bottom white area. When plugged into my computer it says USB in the white area. On the top of the tri colored screen, in the red area, it says:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
I thought about downloading the newest ROM update from HTC but my phone wont sync with my computer, and the tutorial says it needs to in order to install properly. If anyone could help, please let me know!
Update!
I put the battery back into the phone and it booted up just fine....it was a little slow and worked normally for a couple of minutes. Soon it started to act up. When i plugged the phone into my computer it automatically started to freeze, when i unplugged it from the computer it would work just fine! I then turned my phone off again and now it is back to the tri-color screen again!
try hard-resetting the phone.
To do this, hold down the two soft keys at the front while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. Just make sure to back up any data you want, as it will delete it all (files, contacts, etc.)
Tried a Hard Reset
When I finished it, it just went back to that tri-colored screen. Now the phone will turn on every 10th time i try and work for a couple of minutes. When the screen turns off it wont turn back on when i push the power button. The green light still blinks though.
I have been having this exact same problem for a little while now, any help would be more than appreciated.
EDIT: Everything about the phone was AT&T stock ROM from Oct. '07.
i think it replacement time
hi all once again.i was using my kaiser yesterday then my phone went into tri screen.tried hard reset soft reset.phone reboots in tri screen.im using Duttys Official WM6.1 Rom 5.2.19716 UC.
ihave kais130 mfg /spl 1-0.0lipof /cpld-8 on screen.
if there is a solution to this i would appreciate help in resolving.thanks in advance
Another sad update!
Well as of this second my phone works okay...slower than usual....but in an hour or so the screen will turn off and the phone will stop working, i will take the battery out.....wait about 45 minutes and hope that it boots up normally. No one has any idea why this is happening to multiple people? I have had this phone for maybe 3-4 months. Is the failure rate that broad and fast on these phones???
WTF
This phone is ridiculous. Now if I keep the phone plugged into my computer so the screen wont time off, the phone works just as normal. The moment I unplug the phone from charging it decides to die on me after an hour or so!
this happened to me last nite.
spent hours and hours trying to fix.
ended up reflashing orig att rom..
everything is fine..
proceeded on to a cooked rom and all is well..
added some apps ..
so far -- awesome
Good News!
Magically my phone started syncing with my computer randomly. Thus it allowed me to flash the rom with the original ATT rom and so far my phone is back to normal working great!
tri screen sorted
i bought my kaiser off ebay..i couldnt sort tri screen.i had various roms on at various times .i had no warranty. on pay as you go.decided to take to local o2 shop.got it back today fully working for free.took them 8 days.

Tilt stuck on AT&T Screen

I have been having issues with my tilt for the past few days. Upon startup it will go to the initial AT&T screen and will stay there. The phone never dims and will stay there at least a few hours (that is as long as I have tested it).
One odd thing is that the Rom version info (red text at bottom) is missing from the screen.
Things I have tried.
Soft Boot (insert stylus into button by usb port)
Taking the battery out for a few hours and reinserting it
Hard Boot (insert stylus into soft boot hole while holding soft keys
Cold Boot as described here.
FYI. The hard boot appeared to work, but upon restart same AT&T screen. The cold boot appeared to work as well. Made it through the process, but after reboot, AT&T screen.
I have never flashed any cooked roms but did upgrade the the v6.1 rom from AT&T.
Anyone have any other suggestions of things I can try??
So what did you end up doing? I'm in the same situation... I can't figure out how to get the phone to boot so I can restore the att software.
I ended up sending it to HTC. I had to pay for shipping, but they fixed it and sent it back for free. HTC warrenty applies for 15 months from the date of manufactuer.
Ouch! I guess I better get mine shipped! Thanks for the reply.

Diamond felt down ... total damage?

Hey,
Yesterday, as i was putting my phone back into my pocket i failed and it felt down on the street. So I picked it up, hoping my diamond could bear this, but the screen was black. I tried to restart it, but it didn`t worked. i tried to remove the battery and restart - nothing. The screen remains black. Although, it vibrates as usual when i press the power button, but the boot screen don't show off. I tried to connect it via USB to my Pc but no connetion. I don't think the screen is broken, because the backlight is still working, but no bootscreen or everything. I just got it back from repair 2 weeks ago, and till yesterday, everything worked juste fine. I don't know if everyone had already had such a problem or know what to do.
Repair again? I think you can't fix this problem by yourself.
screen Black
Probably the internal Flex-cable is released. You must open the Diamond, removing the screws and see if the FLEX CABLE below SIM-CARD not this out. Look for a tutorial to learn how to disassemble the diamond. it's your risk. let me know if you need some help to do it.

Diamond reboot loop w. original ROM

hi there,
this morning, without any interactiom, i heard the vibration of my touch diamond restarting.(with original newest ROM from htc website that ran without any problem for several months). battery was about 80% yesterday evening.
but it wasn´t starting at all. after the HTC animation and the green windows mobile screen, it started again. after restarting for 20 minutes i took out the battery, put it in again and performed a hard reset as stated in the manual.
now, on the "rainbow" screen i get a message like
psoc diam stage_pvt 0x32
then i did the Volume-Up reset, and now i don´t even get the red version information in the lower right screen. as it doesn´t even start i cannot get an active sync connection.
any ideas? is my phone broken? i didn´t do anything special, and i wonder why it rebooted without interaction this morning.
any ideas what i can do?
thanks in advance,
jkersch
Mine started doing this about 2 weeks ago it woke me up in the middle of night while sleeping with its vibrator and start sound.
The only thing I have found is that my little reset button at the pen holder dosent work anymore. To do a hard reset i have to takeout the battery and then put it in, hold the volume key and enter key then power it to get it. Flashed by holding volume down and the power on, it hold for about 10min just enough to get the flash.
I managed to flash it once but it dosent help, it constantly reset at the thouch diamond screen. Some times i get to the green windows mobile screen.
As warrenty is out on my phone and ive given up and using another phone.
