Hello,
I have the htc 8925. a couple of weeks ago, my screen turned whitish blue. it completely washed out... i did a soft reset and it came back to normal. however a couple of days later, it happened again... i took out the battery, let it rest, and all was fine... but the white screen came back.
this is my problem. if the white screen were permanently there, i would have no issues with buying another screen. but it seems as though this is a "connector" issue and not my screen. sometimes, i just tap the screen and it turns white, i tap it again and it goes back to normal.
i have browsed through all of Mike Channon's posts and his website, i have dismantled my phone twice. everything seemed secure.... what would help me is if anyone knew exactly where the connector issue for the white screen on the kaiser where coming from.
i would appreciate all responses from anyone, expert or not. i dont want to buy a new screen because it seems as though my screen is fine, but just placed wrongly.
thanks again
Jennifer

i just noticed also that when i apply pressure to the lower right corner of the screen, the white screen goes away, but when i let go, it comes back... just wanted to add that
Had the same thing happen to a Tilt I bought from AT&T on the second day. Not sure what was wrong with it but they just sent me a new one. From my reading it seems to have something to do with the flexible video cable.

I just bought my tilt from at&t about 2-3 weeks ago, and now I believe the screen is broken. The weird thing is its not cracked, it was sitting on my bed and i recieved a text and I picked it up and the screen was out. I didn't drop it or hit it with anything, now the screen is completely white, with what looks like ink in the lower right corner and thats why im assuming its the screen. So the question is, is it soley the screen or could my rom, duttys latest hybrid version, have messed with anything? And I'm not sure how that would affect anything anyway. I just don't see why it would go out all the sudden and nothing have happened to it. Im under the assumption now that it is the screen, but was wanting to if it was a hardware problem. I've searched some threads and I havn't found one where there wasn't a crack in the screen.

It's definitely the screen, the 'ink' color is the liquid crystal layer that's ruptured..
About a month ago I got my Kaiser screen replaced as it was broken, now all of a sudden the screen is all whitish and I can hardly ready whats on it!
Is the screen broken again??
I'm fixing to replace the screen in a Kaiser i bought used with a broken screen. From the reading i've done, it sounds like one of the cables to the screen is loose. Trying pressing on the middle of your keyboard and see if anything happens. The big ribbon cable has a connector there.
hmmmm coming to think of it when I pressed the middle of the screen it used to do some funny effect (like when you press your TFT monitor) but now nothing happens!
Is your screen something like this?

last night i was woken up by a text, i looked at my phone and all of a sudden the screen went crazy. Started scrolling up and down (like a bad signal/wrong format ntsc/pal on a tv). Everything got all messed up and lines and dashes all over, kinda like your screen, it started acting wierder when i began applying pressure on the top of the device by the earpiece and d-pad. So i soft-reset the device and it was still doing it while boot up, leading me to believe it wasn't a software issue.
So in my half awake state i just left it on my nightstand. I woke up and its perfectly fine now, even when i press all around the screen.. wierd huh?
I didn't notice anything like you descriped, touch screen and everything else worked like before. Only the colors were like on the picture. Tried hard reseting but didn't help. Phone is still under warranty so sent it to be repaired, i can post what they did when i get it back.
Thanks jrask. Thats exactly how it looks.
I think i have some bad news for you, the screen was damaged and needed to be replaced. I think it was cracked under the frame.
My tilt is acting very nasty lately. Over the past few weeks, I noticed that when I turned on the display, occasionally I would get something that looked like the static that you see on TV, but with colors. I would just turn off the screen, and turn it back on to clear it.
Now it's gotten worst! 98% of the time, it intermitantly gives me a blank solid white screen when I turn it on. Occasionally I can just turn to screen off, and on to reset it.
I'm running OEM WM6.1, and I've tried to reinstall the OS, but it didn't help. My phone has taken a beating, and the top corner has had a small crack in it over the past 2 months, but it didn't effect the touch screen, or picture. I also took off the cover to make sure the cables were all snug, and it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Something got corrupted. If you search WIKI, it's call the 3 color screen stuck .. and you're better off posting at thread below. I hope someone can give you help (if you follow those steps and still no good)
As rule of thumb, do a lot of reading first

On a second thought, it might be the LCD itself broken ..
Oh, believe me.. I'm not one to turn to the forums without doing research myself! All the research I was coming up with seemed to point to a slightly different WSOD though. I think you are right about the screen being broken. I've reinstalled the software, and it acts up even when booting up!
Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with ANYTHING on the market to date! If I'm unable to fix this, I'll just go back to a RAZR until the next gen WM7 phones come out. (With a tilt screen of course!!)
Oh, and even though the screen goes white, it's not stuck, as it fully boots up; I can hear sounds, and even activate the touch screen.
Also, I forgot to mention.. the first problem I started experiencing was that my tilt would go back from landscape mode! It was like the video board was crapping out. I could even see a slight flicker in the display from the refresh rate.
hi i think you may need a new Need a new flex cable ribbon as i had the same problem once
Thanks Tayzaa, I think you could be on to something. I'll open it up and take another look!
Hi!
is this problem solved?
WSOD is bug of Hermes. I would know if kaiser have the same WSOD-bug with D-pad?
So my Screen broke and I bought a new one so I could replace it, the touch screen/digitizer didn't break though... at first the colors just started washing and fading untill the screen ended up completely dark, I could still use the touch screen and feel when I would unlock it, after a day the phone would not give me any feed back by vibrating or turning the orange light while charging, so I dismantled it using some tips from these videos:

After I put everything back together the phone is giving me feedback again and I can notice its charging because of the orange light, but the screen won't turn on. Does any one know if I might need to do something on the software side? like needing to re install anything? or do you think I just got a bad screen?
Update: I just took it apart again and reconnected the ribbons, its back together and the screen still won't turn on.
You have the AMOLED screen and not the LCD?
Did you compare the #'s on the old and new to see you got the right part?
Cables are the same, they look the same, part # and stickers are different...
What are the part numbers on your new and old screen? I just went through the same thing, but I'm fairly sure I got the wrong screen replacement. Will have to look more into it later tonight.
My screen wont turn on at all. I was so excited to get my N1 back in action as well.
So, It's only 3 weeks since I bought this phone, and last weekend i accidentaly drop it (damn..) but at first glance it didn't have any scratchs. But then the next morning when I turned on my phone I notice a red stain on the booting screen, and then I realized that whenever the screen's color is black, the stain is there :S . You can only notice it on a black background, others colors works fine.
So i was wondering if it this could be fixed. I searched on internet if it was a dead/stuck pixel, do you think it could be fixed with one of those fixing apps? (I tried it for around a hour, but so far no good) What options do I have? I talked with Amazon and they said that they will refund/exchange my phone but I would like to avoid sending it back if it can be fixed.
Thanks in advance
send it to the warranty screen isn't broken they will fix it
