My touch diamond with rom 1.93 suddenly is very dim screen. When i reset & there is nothing on the screen but i can hear the os startup sounds. After a while i will be able to see something on the screen, but it is extremely dim to the put where i cant use the phone outside. An error shows up right away stating that there is a microp version mismatch & to reinstall the microp firmware. Tried reinstalling the 1.93 rom, but that did not help. still the same error. Can anyone help out here, im at a total loss? Thanks Malik

Use warranty if you have. Goto a tech guy if possible. If no solution then sit down and get ready to rip it apart.
P.M me, i'll help all i can, cause i'm in the same boat, but in despair. Have no hope left so have boldness to do anything.!

microp error
This occurs when while boot diamond fails to find the correct hardware radio, wifi and Bluetooth
Well the small cable was not attached properly so i opened and attached it. Hell of a job, HTC are very compact.
And WIFI bluetoth back on.
Warn you this cable is very delicate and HTC's original manual says to replace this cable once you open your device. But where will you find a cable?!?!
And I have got the screen from ebay U.S.
Now while replacing the screen the tech guy stupid NooB forgot to take off the last fblack colored film of the display and reattached the new one over it, so now the digitizer isnt wrking properly and the new screen appears very dark.
I have to do it my self. I dont know if i will ever have my diamond back again
For display and lower keyboard panel(having buttons and breath)
You have to attach two small connectors. They are very hard to install and yes it would be better you get it done from some place.

It's not software's problem, it's more hardware problem, exactlier touch screen problem, for this kind problem we can't do anything, just to send phone to repairing service, and to hope , problem will'not repeat, but from my expirience, just after 10-15 days of using, touch screen start to not responding, i scarried all htc diamonds after some period, became same, and i think this is generally problem of htc diamond 1st generation, maybe for htc diamond 2 , htc company solved this "strange" and big problem, cause this situation means, give money for nothing and problems!
Giving 2 years warranty is ****, if phone will start 3rd year of using with same problem, maybe is better to give 5 years of warrant , cause this problem
I don't know if you've fixed this but i had this very problem and it turned out if you wiped the screen over once then it would be okay.. strange i know but theres quick fix that worked for me.
I had the same problem, I send it to service and tey changed the display
I've same problem, the screen only works well when phone is cold, after warms up it shows the same sintoms
Got the same problem here - when the phone is cold its 99% ok, when it gets warm (or even hot due CPU heavy to flash websites), it starts with this touch screen "dance" (and empties the battery in maybe 2 hours by not going into sleep mode).
But I found out that somehow giving the lower screen border a "massage" does help. I guess there is some screen to board connection behind, which does not get 100% contact when the device is warm/hot.
last tuesday diamond came back from service with new screen....today the same problem

Well i tried to make some pressure but same problem. I can disassemble the phone and see if something is not in place, and also use some contact spray to improve connection. Did someone try something like that?
i had the same problem as you due to water damage from using it after a shower. sent it off for warranty and they sent me a refurbished one. sending it off again because it had bad whites and a dodgy centre button.
to bypass the screen alignment screen create a file called "welcome.not" and put it in the root directory of the phone. not in the internal storage, you must put it in the device storage.

First I want to say hello to everybody because this is my first thread.
I found a lot of solutions for my problems on this forum but I can not find solution for brand new problem that appeared yesterday. The thing is that my phone fall out from my pocket and now I do not have any picture and light anymore. I can turn on phone, synchronize with my laptop but no flashing light on buttons and no picture. The LCD seems OK (no scratch or visible sign that is broken).
Does anybody know what is wrong or what can I check? Phone has no warranty anymore.
try and get the help from general options.
if you cant get this fixed.. please let me know..
i am badly in need of dead Touch diamonds..
we are working on a college project....
please be kind
I managed to repair it. I opened it, put all together and it works now. I think that one (or both) connectors on the back side of main board lost connection when the phone fall on the floor. So lucky me, I have a working phone.
Sorry asnaveenkumar, now it works.

THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR HTC TOUCH DIAMOND - NOT FOR DIAMOND2 / TOUCH PRO / HD2 ( This is simply because i don't have these devices with me and that i haven't tested! Those who have a spare handset are welcome to send it to me for diagnosis )
Let me get straight to the point. I’ve found out the solution to all the screen blackouts or the famous “microp error”. I’m sure no HTC so called Technical department could solve this.
I’ve been sitting 40Hrs straight with my HTC Diamond. ( The worst part is removing the screw’s and putting them back.)
THE PROBLEM –
1.It’s a hardware problem. Upgrading the microp.dll will not solve anything. ( Microchips gives really wired errors)
2.SYMPTOMS : A dialogue box showing “ Microp version 0 , Upgrade firmware “ (as far as I can remember) , dim or no backlight , no charging indicator , No backlight for physical keys , no touch sense (D button) , soft reset button non responsive..
3.EARLY WARNINGS: (a). If u have dropped your HTC diamond , then there is an 87% chance of this happening. (b.) Exposure to extreme cold/heat. ( if it’s a heat issue then u might need to replace the motherboard.)
THE SOLUTION
I don’t have a cam to record the entire event. But there is a YouTube video of an HTC dissembling. I’ve downloaded the video and put captions in it so that it would be clearer. Video will be uploaded soon.
Diamond de-assembling video - http://bit.ly/bxtcw0 (some Chinese guy , thanks dude)
PROCEDURE
When you remove the back cover , you’ll see
1.The battery
2.Sim card holder
3.Tons of screw’s
Remove all the visible screw’s.Remember , your warranty will get void if you have one!! This tutorial is for ones without warranty. Take a look at this picture :
http://www.twitpic.com/1cymw5
Remove the screw's shown above..
Next Locate the below chip.
www.twitpic.com/1cynw4
This chip is the main cause for the screen problem. This chip wen taken out has 2 connectors beneath it . These connectors wen gone loose causes the screen problem. It will take a few hours to just get them in place. ( HTC need to improve in build design)
www.twitpic.com/1cymhp . ( 2 connectors ) take out all the stickers if you want. Less annoying ..
Press it with your thumb (HARD) to ensure that they are in place. You can hear the click sound if you switch off your “Room” fan. Once this is done , put the battery without replacing the rest of the parts . ( All connections connected ) .. Try to turn it ON. If it doesnt , try again . Again it doesn't turn on then try again. Keep on trying. I'm sure that you'll get it working. IF it does turn on , please post reply's.
NOTE : Make sure that you connected everything back ( Very IMP) . For those who cannot take the chip out , I recommend you to watch a youtube video on how to dissemble an HTC diamond.

THANX TO TEAM XDA !
I was wondering what went wrong d day wen i rebooted my device.
I was screwed with an error message "microp error please update ur firmware"
googled a lot before ending up with team XDA.
came to know its a software problem, i cleared storage, updated a rom but nothing worked. finally i read xda instructions, i went to d nearest mobile store n explained everything. (since i dont have tools to disassemble my device at home) d service man did d job n i got my htc diamond working !
he just charged 100 rupees, htc service center wud have definitely asked much more than that !
thanks to xda ! but d lesson i learnt is "NEVER DROP/THROW UR HTC"
----------thank you----------

Hi Siddharthsai,
I have a screen problem but a bit more unique. The touch screen can work for a while if I leave it alone but after using the phone for a while, the screen does not work. If I were walk around with the phone, the screen will not work.
The buttons all can work and the phone can function for programs that can be controlled by the buttons. I am wondering if the problem is the same as yours in terms of connection problem.
Appreciate your advise on this.
Thanks.

Have you tried Hard reset? Hold down the volume key and press the reset key and power button . Backup your data using PIM backup before doing this... let me know if its coming again..waiting for your reply.
I have done the hard reset using the volume down/enter and reset button. I have reached the screen where I have to press on the cross hair and is stuck here as the touch panel is not able to click on the exact spot as it is always clicking to the bottom left. The same thing happened when I tried hard reset using "clear all data and format" but have to wait for a while until the screen can work.
After that the screen problem came back again. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
@ above
Sorry for the late reply. had some work.
Is you battery low? just turn off your device and charge until its full . this happens mostly when you use duplicate charger . try charging with htc original charger ( borrow it from a frnd ) ...charge it fully and hard reset. Tell me if it works... by the way are you having an Indian version of diamond? ( 2G) ?
Let me know.
RE:
Flash it with a new ROM and if it still persists , then its a hardware prob. do you still have warranty ?
man you are the bomb. many thanks for this tutorial
@ above
Thanx buddy. its not just me , its everyone in XDA ...we all rock
Guess what! My problem is solved. Did a hard reset yesterday but was stuck at the cross hair allignment as the screen was not responding. Left the phone overnight and could complete the allignment the next morning. After rebooting, the touch screen was jammed again.
Try flicking the screen with my finger a few times and managed to move from page to page and after flicking many times, the touch screen recovered and has been OK for the past 10 hours.
Guess one of the solutions for those who have intermittent problem is to flick your screen top and bottom. Guess the pressure must have connected any loose joints. I am a happy guy today )

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 and I am getting the Microp error. The phone is not covered by warranty so looks like I may have to attempt to fix it myself.
I notice your tutorial deals with the Diamond - Any idea how to fix a Touch Pro 2?
@ above
Bro . Microp error comes because of the connectors. Since this is a slightly bulky , twice as big as diamond and has a slide out keypad , i suggest you to take it to a guy who knows to remove and fix things back.. ( not service center ) .. he'll charge you probably 200-300 bucks...just tell him to reassemble it back. Let me know...
Regards
HTC Touch HD microp error solved
I recently made an attempt to do the same to a Touch HD which showed the same Microp error and know what , its working... PM me for the tutorial
( cant post on the diamond forum )
Regards
I needed new screen, the easy part was taking apart but stuck on these 2 connectors well the bigger one, even when apart it does not seem to go together?
My Diamond screen has broken(since the stupid technician tried to fasten a wrong, long, nut into the back which cracked the screen)
The problem is since i'm a NEWBIE to hardware repairs, I need help to dismantle the device(I'm not going to the tech guy)
Plus, when he opened the device, since WIFI has stopped Turing ON. From comm manager as well windows, I assume there is some hardware fault after opening the device, perhaps faulty ribbon cable connection or broken side wires(entenna?!)
Please provide help on dismanteling it, and advise on what could be wrong with WIFI.
I'm ordering this display from E _ Bay U.S.A
http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=260562114698
or
http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=270554369035
It seems this second one is better.
Please advise what should I buy
hmm search about microp error... i'm preaty sure same thing hapend with wifi on my diamond when i had that error. cheers
any insights on the screen?

I was flashing a rom the other day (that i had flashed in the past and worked fine) and then i noticed that the touchscreen did not work. (everything else worked)
i flashed back to the cyanogen rom and my touchscreen still did not work.
(when i say my touchscreen doesnt work i mean that i cant touch anything, not even the android to set up my phone)
the trackball works but i am FORCED to touch the android and i cant
ive been flashing and still no luck, any ideas on what happened to my touchscreen or any ideas on how to fix it?
please help!!
I've seen a few of the threads. More than likely your touch screen has died (hardware issue - not software) and I'm not sure if that's replaceable.
Ask a technision :/ like the guy above said its proble the tS died may need replacement or ribbon isnt connected rite .
So whats my best bet in going about this?
i dont know what to do :/
if you feel like your able to take apart the phone and replace the screen, you could always try it. either that or buy a new phone or possibly a cell phone repair shop if you even have one.
i decided to kinda drop it.
it works now...
thanks for your help anyways guys!
D:
I wouldn't be DROPPING it to fix it...
Problem is probably a badly seated ribbon cable, which means it is STILL not well seated and will probably happen again.
Look in the screen hinge as you're sliding the screen open -- see the little ribbons in there? Probably got yanked a little.
