hi there
as of yesterday i accidentally dropped a jack splitter (like this one.. (click here) onto my pda2 from 1 meter..
at first i thought everything was okay
but then i realized that the touchscreen was not working.. the buttons are working..
though i hesitated that it'd never work again, after taking my imate apart and after i put it all together it worked for 10 mins.. then it stopped working again.. this morning it did the same, worked then stopped..
so my questions are:
1. can it be something other than the touchscreen? there is a small dent on the screen but the image on my today screen is displayed correctly..
2. if i really have to change the screen where would i buy 1?
i found this one but i want to have more options if there is

thanks...

Touchscreens are replaceable but make sure you buy the correct one, as the screen in Alpine is only one of 2 that could possibly have been fitted in Himalayas i.e a touchscreen for an xda2 is not guarenteed to be compatible with the LCD you have.
Depending on LCM, you could look into a repair of the exisiting digitiser, is the screen marked in any way where the item hit it?

p.s don't bump so quickly - do your research more thoroughly - you're not the first person to suffer this problem...
yes there is a small dent on the screen
i know i searched the forum but maybe i'm searching with wrong terms.. not much came up.
i don't know any other websites than the pdasmart.....

Then you need a new digitiser, the gap between the touchpanel and glass in the digitiser is reduced where the dent is, so the resistance properties of the digitiser have changed at that point i.e it will think you are always touching that spot. You could remove the plastic overlay, heat it gently and try and bend it back / flatten it but I've tried and never managed to do it
Most places only sell the entire LCD / touchscreen assembly, cheapest I can get for an alpine is about $140 USD for the lot, perhaps check ebay for a unit with a broken LCD?

Hi,
I've had my Diamond for a bit more than 2 months now.
Recently I had an odd problem with it.
The touch screen seems to be busted.
The display works fine. However, it doesn't respond to any of my touch commands and it seems like someone is touching the screen randomly, as in, random clicks on the screen.
The hardware buttons work fine, it's just the touch interface of the screen.
First I assumed it was a ROM related problem, as this happened just after I installed Shine On. So I went back to the original ROM again, but the problem persisted. Then I tried another ROM, but same problem!
Therefore I suspect the hardware.
Am I right to assume that the screen is built up of several layers? Such as the TFT screen it self, the touch part, protective glass part, etc.?
This was a week ago and I've been using my old HTC since (waiting for a reply from HTC customer service which haven’t replied yet! ). However, three days ago I tried the Diamond again, and it seems to work flawless..!
So, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this intermediate problem? Or if anyone has suggestions what could cause this problem?
Thanks for reading
Same s*it!
Hey mate.
I am experiencing the same problem as you do. The touchscreen does not respond or not accurate enough oder in a completelly different ponint than is poninted at. Readjusting screen helps for a while, soft-reset helps for a while. Sometimes it goes away without doing anything special. Did HTC finally answer your E-Mail?
I'd like to have this fixed as soon as possible.
Edit: I noticed that this problem disappears at once if TF3D is deactivated. Let'S see about that....
Hi,
even though there are probably several other threads concerning this issue, this seems to be the most recent one.
Do you use a (genuine?) screen protector?
I do.
I suppose this problem is caused by the tremendous heat* when the device is used and a screen protector that had been applied wrongly.
I might have applied the screen protector wrongly so there are a few very small (almost invisible?) bubbles (i.e. hot air expands(?) - I don't know the technical term),
since I had to remove the screen protector once because of dust..(does the glue lose its stickiness?)
I don't know if it's because of the bubbles, but I'm quite sure it's because of the screen protector.
Has anyone noticed this behavior without using a screen protector?
(I'm going to buy new screen protectors if neccessary, but I don't want to pay ~25€ if it's not)
*= I've adjusted my screen when my device was "cold".
Edit: I've probably found the reason for this issue: there's a deformation (caused by HTC) on the bottom of the screen(at the end of the screen protector) - there's a hole without glue (but air) - everything works fine while closing the hole by pressing the screen protector on the surface of the device.
I'm going to upload a picture later.
Edit2: The picture is now online. The fact that there's a hole isn't new of course, but no one seems to have linked these two issues so far.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)
The hole wasn't that big first but it grew because of all the testing
I've cut the lower part of the screen protector off now until I have a new one, although it doesn't look that great anymore..
Edit3: Ok, it's the hole and not the screen protector - I guess I have to get a new Diamond from my provider since it's a manufacturing defect..
i bought a htc hd7 in january this year from a tech mall in hong kong. im now in perth australia and the hd7 is not available here yet.
anyway the phone was great right up until one of my friends dropped/threw my phone into the ground with a decent amount of force. at first i was happy to see that there was no damge to the phone on the outside, the screen wasnt cracked and the casing was fine. the touch screen still worked fine but now there are these lines everywhere. all over the screen. on the right side, there is a strip of just black. im assuming that bit of the screen is completely dead. it gets rid of the last number and continues like that all down the screen. there is also a ugly shade of grey that has the shape of a backwards "l" around the bottom right corner. the only way i can use my phone without these lines is if i set the theme to white, but even then it is extremely dull and greyish. when the theme is on black, everything that is coloured white, such as text or images sends the lines all the way down the screen, perfectly aligned with the white text or image all the way down the screen.
im a little unsure if this is the screen or something more internal. most importantly how/where can i get this fixed?
thanks

You need a new LCD, search Ebay for one & google for an instruction video.
LCD Replacement on Ebay for $50.00.
Tool Kit Needed to Replace LCD on Ebay for $2.00.
Can't find a Video, but here's a thread with info on how to replace the screen
do you think if i bought the parts and took it to a phone repair shop they would fix it?
I would call the repair place first to see if they'd use the parts you supply & if it'd be any cheaper than just having them use their parts.
I'd say try to find someone in your area who has done screen replacements before who do it for you for a small fee. I've done a few of them, it's not that hard. I've replaced them on the HTC Kaiser & Excalibur. The HD7 should be easier to do as it doesn't have a keyboard.
NOTE: This will void your warranty, so you may want to upgrade the SD Card at the same time if you want 32GB of storage.
well if my phone is covered by warranty then wouldnt htc replace it?
No, warranty doesn't cover damage caused by the user or this case, user's friend. You'd have to of paid for the accidental damage insurance for them to replace it.
I want to give some context.
I have owned my Z1 since release on a contract. I have previously had the screen replaced twice and it worked fine afterwards.
However, I had dropped the phone resulting in the top of the screen cracking. Got it replaced by a local phone repair shop.
The result was a new phone screen, a white edge just over half way down the screen might be worth noting. The repair man said it was a warranty sticker on the screen they put in. (Sounds silly)
Anyway, the resultant problem is not exactly like what i've seen on many threads.
My phone now decides to press itself erratically. Usually after swiping and trying to press delete on the keyboard would it start acting up.
My remedy: Hard reset(Didn't work), factory reset(didn't work), upgrade from 4.4 to 5.1(I think, newest software) and to my surprise the issue remains. So after the repair man replacing the screen twice and ensuring that i'd done my best with little to no phone knowledge, I still have this problem.
There's many threads detailing problems, some linking to apk's that are "calibration software", some that say you can change calibration.ini but no helpful replies or expanding info on the threads.
Can anyone tell me if they've had any luck with this or anyone who has knowledge of what I should do next (E.g "there's no fix guy, you'll have to sell it and move on") as i'm starting to assume these screens are very tedious to deal with
Remove the plastic protector and put a tempered glass protector
Hey guys
I have a very strange problem with my Huawei P10
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that two purple horizontal stripes are appearing in a 3-4sec sequence
Normally, I would immediately ask for a repair, but there's a thing which persecutes me: it only happens when I don't touch the screen for longer than 3-4sec
When there's a continuous contact with the screen (e.g when writing a message) nothing happens, everything is fine and dandy, but whenever I leave the screen for itself for 3 or more seconds (e.g when watching a movie), the stripes start to appear every few seconds, and continue until the screen goes dark or until I touch it again, but after touching it it still takes only a few seconds for the stripes to sequentially flicker again
Here's what I've tried so far (no result):
- safe mode
- factory reset
- cache partition wiping
- cord input deep clean
What may be the reason?
Hey.
It's 100% a board or Display issue. send it for repairs. but i believe maybe you've dropped ur phone. Anyways Huawei knows better.

It's quite complicated
I once dropped it, but even after that, the previous LCD worked fine, there were no errors other than broken glass, so I guess we could exclude a board issue and lean toward your second option, as now that the LCD has been replaced, the fault occurs
What's more, I noticed that if I press the Home Key, and then put my finger in the bottom right corner and hold it, I can still use the whole LCD space without the flickering (I need to press the Home Key first so that it works after I hold my finger in the corner)
It's like the LCD needs to be in contact with your finger all the time to avoid that, which has led me to an idea: would a tempered glass solve that maybe?

I can't really answer for sure but i believe if there's a Huawei service center in your city and you try to fix ur broken huawei, your wasting your time. Whatever solution u apply on ur phone its just gonna be temporary since u hide your problem and not solved it.

I still think (or should I say believe ) that there's a solution which doesn't involve another screen replacement
As for your "temporary solution" mention, I guess if I found one, it wouldn't be temporary, since the fault doesn't progress, it's been the same for a month or so when it first occured, which gives me another reason not to replace the screen and keep looking for other possibilities
I don't need a Huawei service center, I can replace the LCD myself (didn't do that the first time though), but it still involves spending money, whereas I've been looking for unpaid solutions the whole time; getting a new LCD is an extremity

You can ask them to diagnose it and tell you about problem noone makes you pay for a lcd. And after reading your message over and over (And since i repair TVs and everything with electronics inside) i think it also can be your touch or display controller ic. Mostly it could be from touch ic since screen works fine while its in touch with something. But someone has to try your lcd or mb on a healthy one to make sure. which you can't do nothing like that. or do you?
@fengels did You bought original lcd, where can I buy it in good price?
I know this problem from older galaxy series like s5. The fix for this most of the time was disable auto brightness or higher the brightness on auto brightness. Don't know if this is the same problem, but it could be a try. Also don't know which cause this strange problem. Hope it can help you

No, it's a different problem, in the galaxy series the whole screen would flicker, whereas in my P10 it's only 2 horizontal stripes appearing in a 4-5 sec sequence whenever I leave the screen untouched for longer than 5sec
Playing around with the brightness doesn't solve that unfortunately, actually no in-device settings do, as I've tried almost every single option which is screen-related, like switching the eye comfort mode on, but still no result
The main reason why I'm still looking for an unpaid solution is that apart from this one error, the phone is like brand new, everything works fine
ok, so if I understad the problem shows up after you replaced the LCD display? So do you really think is more software related than hardware? I personally would send it to diagnose and repair.

The thing is it didn't show up immediately, I had used the phone for some time with no errors before it first occured
Also, since the new LCD was set, I haven't done any physical damage to it, I've never dropped or sunk the phone
Since you guys mostly advise me to send it, I guess that's what I will have to do

While you were replacing screen, did you turn your device off and disconnect the battery? and i think cleaning all cables coming from LCD and related sockets on motherboard can help. Use thinner or alcohol and if you wanna use thinner be careful so it wouldn't touch anything except golden contacts. Thinner is dangerous and affects ur phone color and plastic parts.

I did turn the device off, but I didn't take the battery off, since it's strongly glued to the phone's body, and I didn't want to damage it
Anyway, could not taking the battery off really be the reason?
As for cleaning, I did it by simply blowing out all the potential dirt, I'm inexperienced in thinner and alcohol cleaning

I am not sure butbon some phones it damages screen. I've seen this on laptops. But anyways its done. Open ur phone and use alcohol. put 2 drops of alcohol on each socket and flat cable connectors and brush it with a soft brush. u don't want to bent any golden contact. It's last thing u can do to fix it without paying for hardware related stuff.

Well, will definitely try it then, but what alcohol? Does it need to be something specific?
