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.

Hi everyone!
Sad thing happend with me, 4 days ago i fell into a river and sadly ma diamond was in the pocket. I dryed it for three days, turned it on, everthing else works, besides the screen light. So i dissambeled the phone to bits and pieces, only i didn't took the LCD out(read it from somewhere that you can't put it back on afterwards so it will work). I reassambeled it and still same situation. If you look it from a angel you can see the icons and even touchscreen works. Only problem is still the backlight. So is there something i can do to make the backlight work again or i have to buy a new screen and is it hard to swap the screen ?
Hi,
Not sure if you will need to replace the screen, if you can get to the power settings you can see if the backlight has been manually turned down. If this fails and a screen replacement is required i will tell you how easy/difficult it is once i have replaced mine, due to unfortunate circumstances.
yeah, i got into the power settings, everthing is okey there like it should be , so i have to change the screen. Is there some kind on intrcutions for changing it? it would help me a lot
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?
well when im only using touch keyboard the corners and edges dont work
P,L Backspace, Go, The whole bottom, A, i
Its a common problem. I had the same. Unfortunately your touch screen is dying. Replace.

Welcome to the club, apparently some people fixed it by warming their phone, putting it in rice, or replacing their digitizer.
i have another kind of problem: sometimes the screen begins it's own life, like somebody quickly touching it (solves with on/off button).
And sometimes i touch it in some point, but it thinks, that i touch it in another.
Disappointing, but not annoying.
well it seems to be working fine now

Got the exact same problem, send it for repair. Apparently they found corrosion in my internals, though I really have no idea how liquid got in there. There is no spillage or any sort happen to my phone.
Oh well that means goodbye to my Milestone and back to stone age for awhile.
I had this same problem a week ago, and it happened all day long. It happened that my screen was wet (don't ask me how, I don't know), and now it's working just fine
Well if your touchscreen are not responding well to your touch, or if you feel that a ghost has been playing around on it (eg. "like somebody quickly touching it"), then it's a symptom that the touchscreen is faulty and it's time to replace the digitizer or buy a new phone
I faced the same problem sometime. In this case, reboot the phone may fix this problem.
If it doesn't work, I think you have to replace the touch screen.

Had one issue like this in 3 months, 1/5th from the top of the screen wouldn't respond anymore, no matter the program. The issue went away after rebooting the phone.
I am facing the ghost touch problem or the right side is not working at all. First time, it started on it's own but last night, while it was connected to the PC the nightmare began. I don't know what the heck should I do, because I don't have money to spend on new digitizer. Last time the problem was solved by letting the phone in a dry place (it wasn't dropped in water or so). I hope this time will work too... BTW, pressing the on/off button seems to fix the issues for ~3-4 seconds. Anyway, Moto sucks .

Are you sure this isn't the flex cable problem?
If it is the flex cable problem, where can be found to buy and replace? Because I am sure that is less expensive than replacing the whole digitizer.
I had the same problem, but it's more than a month that I recharge battery with a Samsung wall charger (700mAh power), it completely desappear.
One week ago I charged the battery with the USB cable and the problem reappear, desappearing only after a reboot.
It's NOT a flex problem for sure, our phone is very susceptible of current variations when charging. If the problem still remains after unplug and reboot, I suggest to try with another battery.
last night my x1s screen was going all fuzzy like different colours and cut out a few times. now today notthing. the screen is blank. backlight comes on i think. the phone starts up normal as i can hear the start up sound and i can accept calls. i think this is failure of the felx cable. Is this true? and if so is i worth get on and fiting it myself or going to a repair shop. im on the cheap here so any fix will do.

I have had the second part of your problem before where screen doesn't come on but the back light and everything else works. A couple of months back when I was at college I dropped my phone really hard at a party( I was wasted ) and the next morning the screen wouldn't come on. So what I did was I looked up the guide to how take the X1i apart and luckily one of my buddies had the same screwdrivers that I needed because he uses it on his the Blackberry Storm 2. So what I did was went to where the Flex ribbon cable was located unattached it, then reattached it, and put my phone back together and the screen came back on and still works to this day. If this helps press thanks.

Well back in February i smashed the screen on my vivd. Still wokred just a smashed screen, at that point i put it in the drawer and moved on. Well i just broke it out agian today and plugged it into my PC and now i only have backlight (no real screen) and the LED indicator is lit orange. My PC loaded the drivers fine, but ive never seen this. It worked after the drop (and used it a bit after as well) but never did the screen totally die.
Im assuming the phone is still alive, but do you think its anything more then a screen replacement? With the touch panel on the bottom im hesitant about replacing the screen myself, i think radioshack does screen fairly cheap. Thoughts?? Dead? Restorable?
