Hi all, Well i think i have a problem with my AT&T Tilt. My screen just faded from the today screen to a totally white screen. I hear that the touchscreen works because i can dial numbers after pressing the green keyboard button and hitting my finger on the screen. I have tried resetting the phone, softresetting, putting battery out and wait, but it looks like theres something not connected right or something. I just got the device 2 weeks ago from ebay, its a refurbished brand new looking. Any tips ? Well since its a refurbished i would like to repair it my own. Thanks
UPDATE:
I just took the screen out and reassembled it to see if it was the connector but unfortunatly it was not the cause of this.
The same thing happened with me on my old 8525. It would fade in and out, so I gave it a good slap on the side and it worked. Haha
But I called and did a warranty exchange anyway.
I assume you've hard resetted it already?

As its also white when trying to enter bootloader, i assume a hardreset wouldnt do the trick. Unfortunatly its a AT&T Tilt from ebay, thats refurbished but looks 100% brand new, it has worked for 2 weeks without problems untill now .
Hi All,
I'm facing wierd problem since yest.
Sceen of my VarioIII suddenly went white.
It does respond to taps and buttons and could receive calls.
I tried installing new ROM, It did intstall but screen is still white.
It could connect to PC and sync with outlook.
I did open the case and looked for the loose connection of flex cable but could not reach till LCD. But I did reach flex cable and did try removing its connector from main board and then reconnecting it. but this did not help.
Any idea what could be wrong???
Thanks,
Nishant
Odd......
I just spent 20 seconds and found a TON of threads covering this issue.
I just went to the little button that says " Search " and typed "Kaiser White Screen"
Found quite a few that could possibly lead to your answer.........
I will be nice and post a link for you
Here ya go.... quite a list
pyraxiate,
I did search before I post it but most of problems reported are different from mine.
It is different as I do get response from the screen taps and also keys and for that matter phone minus display is working normally. I even can receive calls.
today I've given it to the service center and the guy says they have seen it before and its the flex cable issue. What he told me that the Vario III is different from TYTNII and TYTNII cable does not work with Vario III as its bit width is different.
I was just wondering if that is true???
Thanks,
Nishant
same thing happend to me
Same thing happend to me 3 weeks ago.
It is also a Vario III. It happend when I closed the screen, it turned white but still responded to touch. I could hear the start menu sound when I pressed the upper left corner.
I opened the case to check the flatcable on the circuitboard but unfortunally it was still in place.
Luckely I order a premium insurance along with the phone so I called them and they replaced the screen. Thet told me something got fried inthere.
So my bet is you need a replacement screen.
Good luck.
Thanks!! I think I need those wishes after I saw atleast three people coming with similar compaint within half an hour. I also see many threads with screen issues.
Hopefully HTC will take it seriously...
Solved
Great news!!
Problem is solved.
The service center said the problem with LCD screen and will take time to get it. I decided to try the local guy and guess what, he said its not LCD issue. I was very skeptical and asked explanation but he refused to tell the exact reason. Finally dared to take chance. Within half hour he could fix it.
Only thing he told me that he checked voltages at some location and saw some issue but did not reveal anything else.
Thanks,
Nishant
I have the same issue. Sometimes screen goes white, or the screen gets covered with stripes untill it goes black...
I have searched for solutions for the past 2 days but cant find one, if i missed it or this post is redundant , i apologize in advance.
Now my tilt is driving me crazy. It started last week when The touch screen wasnt working, but i fixed it by doing a couple of soft resets. then all the sudden, everytime i slide my keyboard out, the touch screen would stop responding. this went on for a day, then yesterday, when i tired to use the keyboard, the screen went blank, like the light died or something. but when i put it back on portrait, the screen would light up again.
A few moments later, the touch was responding, tried to use the keypad then the screen went blank..tried soft resets about 5 times and uninstalled all recent added programs (skyfire) ..finally the screen was working but the touch still wasnt working.
So this morning, i had the bright idea to do a hard reset....dumbest idea ever cos now its stuck at the screen where i have to "tap the screen to set up your wm device" and guess what..the touch screen isnt responding
plz i really need help with this. all so , i have a broken tilt.., well lcd screen is cracked...can i try to dismantle both tilts and replace the screens?
Ok, i used Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment, but if i cant use the touch screen or the keyboard, the phone is pretty much useless for sending any information or making calls..is there a way to fix this?
I have had this same issue with my tilt. I could use the scroller on the left side of the unit to navigate but no touch screen. Both times that this has happened to me I removed the screen protector that I had on and restored a backup that I had on my storage card (I run a backup weekly). This has always fixed my issue. You could try another hard reset, not sure if that will help but do you get any lights on the keyboard when you slide it open? Is your tilt less than a year old because there is a manufacturer's warranty too.
Jim
when i slide the keyboard, i do get lights on the keyboard but not on the screen...it just goes dead..but when i slide it back in, the screen comes to life.
I cant do another hard reset cos i have to input the "1,2,3,4" code.
Also , the phone just got out of the 1yr warranty this month...awesome
I want to buy a replacement screen with a new digitizer but i need to be sure that is the problem.. ive searched for this keyboard problem but still have no answers
Now I'm having the same issue, touch not responding. I first noticed it about two days ago, when I slide the keyboard out, I could type just fine, but when I went to send the message the touch screen wouldnt work, so I'd close the keyboard and it would work. well yesterday it stopped working all together, so i used my d-pad and did a sprite restore and it started working again. But then On my way home i hit the lock button, and it stopped working after that, and I couldn't get it unlocked. I used the inner soft key to hit the first part of unlock, but then I couldnt ever figure which button to hit to get the on screen part of the unlock. So I had no choice but to do a hard reset, and just like highoct now I'm stuck on the stylus setup , and the touch still doesnt respond. does anybody esle have any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
You can use the Code Factory's Remote screen alignment to bypass the alignment.
If the touch screen is the only problem, you can do one of two things if you are no longer under warranty;
1. Fix it yourself. You will have to buy a new Lcd screen with new digitizer at ebay and use this site http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_kaiser/ to open up your tilt and replace it
2. Send it to a repair shop, I had two tilts and sent the one with the broken screen to www.missionrepair.com got it back in a within a week, $89.00 plus shipping

I still have the same tilt with the original problem..havent found a solution yet
Oh yeah, I did manage to do a hard reset again, but now the screen is just white. I can hear the sound of it booting up but it still has a white screen. I tired going to the Bootloader screen ( Camera and power at the same time)...still have the white screen. I believe its a hardware problem but i don't know what it is...any ideas?
Ok now I've done a hard flash, using the same HTC kaiser rom 6.1 and it fixes the problem for a little bit, until the first time I slide out the keyboard , then the screen stops working again, any suggestions ?
iPhone 3G Screen Repair...finally an affordable answer
If you are reading this, you are most likely in the same dilemma I was in. I dropped my phone and picked it up only to find out that the glass screen was cracked. I took my broken phone to apple and found out it would cost me $199. I then was told about iPhone 3G Screen Repair. They offered the iPhone 3G glass screen repair for only 69.99. They repaired my phone the same day they received it. I was very happy with the repair!

I know this thread is a bit old but was searching d forum for possible solutions cos yesterday i developed the same exact problem on my kaiser for no apparent reason!..flashing it hasnt helped and now im stuck on the wm setup screen..when u say u still have the same tilt with the original problem do you mean that the repair was unsuccessful? have you tried reparing it yourself? Thanks
I just started to have the same problem, it started out with the touch not responding (which a few soft resets fixed) and now the whole screen doesn't function unless i slid out the keyboard or if i jiggle it around and open it a couple of time i can usually find a spot that allows the screen to function with the keyboard closed. If i leave it in this position for about an hour the touch starts responding again, wtf. This is very inconvenient because as soon as you move the screen even just a little it will take me like half an hour to find the position which allows the phone to function.

same thing happened to me 3 days ago. touchscreen has just stopped responding.
it still worked when i slided my keyboard out, but only when it was out. then i realized it won't work at all (!) after soft reset. however, i could make it work again like that when i did the soft reset with the keyboard out. weird.
i tried searching, and decided to make a hard reset, flash a new rom, etc, etc., but no more touchscreen. at all. the device doesn't feel any touch in any case. nothing. i bypassed the beggining tap here with the storage card trick. (i've read it somewhere on the forum).
now i can only use my kaiser with the hw buttons, the keyboard, and that's it. no touch. really weird. please if anyone has any updates, solutions, anything, post. sniff sniff
mine doesn't have anything on the screen unless i slide it out, if i have it closed anymore, it just doesn't work at all.
try this:
ive just replaced my barely functioning lcd by myself, after living with it sometimes registered the stylus jumping around when i used the stylus. but before you change your lcd, here is a couple of tips for you guys:
1) try sliding out the keyboard. hold one finger in the middle of the keyboard and another on the back side of the phone, and squeeze hard, but careful. it might be that the flat cable between the screen part and the main part has loosened a bit from its socket, this could help it back in.
2) try sqeezing the hang up button hard. this might help the lcd-cable correctly back in its socket if it is loose.
im saying that this MIGHT help, if youre lucky. most likely you have to open the phone and squeeze the connectors back in yourself, or actually change the entire lcd. anyways, let me know what works for you!!

well, i tried both tips, but they didn't work. i'd like to say a big thanks anyway!
then i grabbed the kaiser service manual and took my device apart into pieces. i reconnected pretty much all the cables and stuff, but still no touchy. any further ideas?
you should try replacing the screen. im happy to say that this screen from this seller on eBay worked for me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250539984183

Hello,
I know a lot of us are having problems with displays and digitizers and im wondering if anyone else has this problem. Yesterday i replced my screen because it had a dead zone. I booted up the phone and everything worked great until i locked the screen. When i pressed the power button to unlock it there was just a black screen with lots of white lines forming. Without fail the phone will do this. I restart and its fine but when i lock it, it gets screwy. I really need to get this working since i dont even have a backup phone right now. By the way the display is not oem its a knockoff.
Since you change your LCD....it might be a different panel from your original. Check your kernel or flash the kernel again.
Sent from My LG G2 LS-980 or LG G Pad 7.0 V400
Same thing happen to me about a month ago during my G2 screen repair. I bought mine on ebay from a seller that had sold hundreds of them, figured I couldn't go wrong. Unfortunatly I never figuered out why it was failing and just ended up returning it for a refund. The second screen I bought was from etradesupply and it worked perfectly. Hopefully someone has a fix for this weird issue.
I had that exct thing happen to me, well rainbow colored lines. I shattered the screen on a corner drop. I took it to Gopher Mods, they replaced the screen and within a few minutes it happened. They replaced it 2 more times and eventually the last time the screen popped out a little bit since they did not add enough glue/sticky tape inside and the lines dissapeared. They also gave me a full refund, with which I got another G2. So two working phones now lol.
Basically the screen might be pressed in too tightly causing the cable inside to be kinked too much. Its very easy to damage the video cable in this phone mind you.

Try installi mg dorimanx's kernel which detects your panel type of search the thread for a kernel swap flashable. Your new panel may be of a different type causing the white lines.
Hello fellas,
I replaced my note 5 lcd before 4 days it was working perfect w/out any flaws but it suddenly went black while using it was full charged while it happend. but i can receive calls texts hear sounds. I tried a youtube fix by holding Vol down+Power!! Yes it does reboot the phone but whateva happens lcd is black, even i tried to flash stock rom also its succeed!!
I dont know what the problem is but my lcd was broken before, while in that stage it cannot boot or receive calls there was only a solid blue led.
But in this case i dont know what the problem is and i think you might help me figure out.
Thanks.

I had the exact same problem and unfortunately the phone had to be replaced under warranty so if you don't have a warranty on the phone then immediately contact whoever sold you the screen and get a replacement since that one's broken. It's not going to come back no matter what and it was probably a cheap knock off which is all I keep seeing all over the place but try anyway because they aren't cheap at all!!!
Sounds like when you had the LCD replaced they didnt do the digitizer ( that is the component that converts the signal to pictures for display on the screen) usually when one is damaged they are both replaced at the same time

I think you're a bit confused on what a digitizer is... It's not for converting pictures it's for dealing with the touch part of it I.E it senses where your fingers are on the screen.
