today i dropped my alpine as i got out of my car.. smashed onto gravel, and had some annoying scars. thank god, there's nothing wrong with it, but the problem is the stylus seems not to fit well in the silo. it makes some scretching sound when i put it in... how to fix it, another problem is that, there's a tiny dot in the screen, it's so annoying when watching clips.. it happened even before that "dropped" incident. if want to send to service centre, do they charge for it? how about that stylus prob? and how much would it cost normally to change the front and rear cover

Let me know if the manufacturer will charge for your repair. When you are there please find out what if the LCD screen is broken? Do they charge and how much would it cost to replace the screen.
Hi guys, i'm a big fan of this site, and I'm glad Im part of it since i can use you guy's great roms and tricks. But I have a big problem with my tilt now and I wanted to see if some of you could help me with it. I bought my tilt from a friend with a broken screen, i bought and replaced the screen myself, but after a day or two, the backlight for the screen wouldn't work. The only working solution i found was by squeezing the phone and pressing on the lower left corner above the green call button so the screen wouldnt turn on while i pressed it. I decided to open it, and i put a piece of paper above the connection of the screen and the flex, and this worked for a while. But ever since, i always have to keep putting in new pieces paper or plastic to keep pressure on the connection for the lcd, i was wondering if you guys would happen to know what the possible cause is. And it is hard because when i put those pieces of papers, the call button on the front has so much pressure that it is permanently pressed. I dont know what to do now, i don't know if i should just give up trying to fix my tilt or to just buy a new one. Hope someone can help me thank you.
damn...41 views and no replies....im guessing i should start looking for a new phone
A thorough clean needed
How about carefully cleaning the flex and connector using contact cleaner? If a connection surface isn't perfectly clean, often pressure is needed to push the terminals through the tiny film of grease (eg from fingerprints).
I'd say you bought a bad quality LCD that has a wacky contact inside the module...
im going to buy contact cleaner..if that doesnt work then it's probably a bad lcd like u guys said even though i paid 100 dollars for it ...thank you very much for the replies

While replacing the screen you might've shorted something which would then only allow certain function by appling abnormal pressure.
Hi all ... I have my HTC Diamond for about a year. I love this phone, and I don't want another, but today, unfortunately he has a very strong fall. I always had very, very careful with it. But today was the time, the phone crashed, broke away from the back cover and battery, and I thought to myself, if not damaged by this fall, he would never break down. I put the battery, put the cover, turn it on, he vibrate on startup, but nothing else, the phone went blank, I was waiting, and then there gave the sound of that presentation of HTC, but no picture, no lights on the keys, nothing ... I'm really sad, I have no idea what it is. Already dismantled a bit cuz I thought it was some form of contact to the screen that is hung up, but no, it's all good inside. Does anyone know what could be?
Sorry for the bad english (google translator)
Please... can anyone help me?
could be flex connecting Display to motherboard damage. Send to HTC center to check
My diamond did the same thing, just open it up and connect the flat plastic display cable back into it's little plastic connector on the motherboard. Takes all of 15min to do and there is no way you can screw it up

Thx... but since then, I already repair it, not me, and the guy make me pay 20€ for that... and now my GPS doesn't work. By what I searched, may be it's the coaxial antenna that is not connect, or I heard that after deconnected, it can't be re-used.
But I don't know where to buy a new one...
Well at least try opening it up and seeing if anything is broken. The guy who fixed it probably disconnected it on purpose so you have to pay him more to fix it again
I have also gone through the same problem last month. As my small cousin came from abroad, he threw the phone like wrapper of the chocolate but I send the phone to the repairing center and it is well now.
My Droid's touch screen isn't working in the center vertically all the way down. I can still use the 'edges' of the screen. I need to use the middle of the screen for a few things (not transfering stuff over). Is there any way I can 'project' my Droids screen to my computer and click/touch in it to use it?
Thanks in advance for all help. It's appreciated

Edit: This is the original Motorola Droid.
I have the same problem on the right side of my milestone :S
I had the same problem, but from the back arrow upwards, specially when the phone got hot. As my phone was still on the warranty period, I flashed it back to stock and updated it to the official 2.2., took it to an Orange shop and got it back after almost a month: they basically changed the whole top part of the phone (I got a brand new screen )
Repair problem
I had a same failure. The touch panel was bad. I ordered one from eBay. It also came as well put it. It works well. Only so much wrong with me that for some reason the phone stacked in landscape mode, I can't change to portrait mode. What is wrong? I put together something wrong? I do not think so. Everything else goes. (or so it seems)
This has to do with the digitizer (the glass you touch over the top of the LCD you see) being defective or unsealed. This is due to environmental moisture finding its way into the phone and f**king with the electrictal signals sent by touching the screen. There is a 'phantom touch' issue that seems to happen before or during the vertical unresponsiveness, and that can usually be temporarily remedied by firmly pushing your screen downwards (your phone may restart) and taking a blowdryer to your phone until it's just hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold (and no longer take it into the bathroom while you shower). One way or another, you're going to have to replace your digitizer eventually.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I had the same problem months ago but it's now fixed.
STEPS:
1. Digitizer I bought from this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.ph/New-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-Motorola-Milestone-A853-/270780531 891?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3f0bc704b3#ht_2811wt_850
2. Dissasembly Videos (I advice you to watch them repeatedly before dissasembly):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE81IaQHEHc
3. Phillips screw driver( for dealing with hard screws around the screen): Because I don't want you to use the low quality screw driver supplied with the digitizer.
4. Double sided tape: I got mine from a hardware shop for only P19. Buy a the more expensive tape(P100+) but look for a very thin one! You will use the cheap weak tape to stick some internal parts and use the Hard tape to stick the external casing. EDIT: I just used the cheap one for everything and it's strong enough.
5. PATIENCE: Don't be in a hurry. I even paused from time to time to get a better idea about what to do next. Get the feel of being a perfectionist (that same additude when I applied a screen protector )
That's the guide from me who haven't dissasembled a phone in my entire life but my milestone. So if something bad and technical that happens along the way then my knowledge can't help.. sorry.
Good luck bro!!
Alright so basically 5 weeks ago I had my phone in the pool with me, just a shallow backyard pool. And somehow water got into the flaps tripping the water indicators.
I felt it overheat and the camera button being held down, so i basically turned it off and drained its battery. For a few days it was fine, but couldnt hold a charge and everything was fine, but some water in the screen. And then it decided to invert and flip itself. From then on it hasn't been turned on.
I sent it off to Sony but they send it right back to me unfixed, which kinda confused me, because i got a message saying the Claim was approved and they'll be sending a new device out to me. And then when i recieved it, it was my phone, with the loudspeaker grille nowhere to be found.
So now ive decided to take things into my own hands. Where do you guys think the problem is?
Currently its like this
No Water In Screen
Phone Works Perfectly
Screen Mirrored and Flipped
Top of Digitizer not responding so cant pull down menu
Ill be opening it up pretty soon so Im just trying to get an idea of where i should focus my search.
The speaker is also where the screen/digitizer is connected at.. so if there is no loudspeaker there you may have a problem because of that!
Also opening the phone is very tedious and I advise against that.. they should fix it!
There has to be some kind of app that can flip the screen.....
