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
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

thanks for your help, i've just ordered a new screen! phew, i hope it's gonna work
Hey guys,sorry for bringing this up.
Whenever i dial,screen goes black and doesn't come back on.
If i place it flat on a table,then it gets lit but as soon as i rotate the device it goes black again.
My HD7 recently started having this problems...
It started happening after i replaced the micro sd inside with a bigger one.
So my concern is that somehow it moved or got dust when i removed the back plastic cover? Where is it placed anyway?
I tried hard resetting 2 times but nothing works. It would be cool if there was a registry or app to take control of it. Can somebody help?
PS. i cannot send it back because i live in Albania (no official htc shops either around here)
Thanks!
Hello,
The proximity sensor is located on the top left of the device, you can see it when viewed under a bright light. Have you applied any screen protectors which can interfere with them? Replacing the sd card should not have any effect on the proximity sensor. When you rotate the device when the call is placed, the screen should go black by default cause of the sensor
@rhn thank you for your reply.
My phone does not have any screen protector or cover of any kind. Also,if i rotate it while in call it still remains black. As soon as i press the call button,screen goes black and wont come back until the call is ended by the person on the other side.
Really really annoying... Oh sometimes it even flashes after the call has ended...
Sounds like a hardware fault ...have you tried updating your rom?You can find a compatible rom in the rom development subforum..
Yep,tried that too. Just updated today and still the same issue.
It also happened after i changed the micro sd,so maybe something has moved in there. There's no other way than try to open the device and check it out,i guess :/
If you can think of something else,let me know
Warranty
Warranty replacement worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864311
Thanks bofett, i cannot get a replacement. Warranty for this phone was for 5 days!!! (stupid i know....i totally regret picking it up) So that means i'm screwed...
Thank god i still have my great HD2 so i can start opening this phone without fear
Hi, I recently dropped my phone and now the screen is blank. When i turn on the phone the whole screen is blank, the phone vibrates when it powers on but nothing is visible. Even when i get calls i cant attend them. There are no scratches or cracks on the screen after the fall. This is the first time i have experienced this and any help is appreciated. Thank you
I think the LCD is connected to the phone's main board by a connector that snaps into place. If you dropped the phone, I think it's a possibility that this connector could have popped out. It would only take a few minutes to open it and check for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A4zbBKkcKU Skip to 2 minutes and 50 seconds into the video and you will see this connector.
Unfortunately it's possible that when you dropped it, the LCD screen was damaged even though you can't visibly tell just by looking at it.
thank you very much will try it
Hello everyone,
I have got one problem... I broke digitizer of my HTC Desire 500. So I order new one and to be sure, also LCD screen. I replaced, and...
After turning on, everything works fine. Digitizer works properly, screen shows normal picture. But after few minutes - restarts (I don't remember well) backlight of my screen goes down and now it have no backlight at all. I rebooted phone many times, I remounted screen and digitizer to be sure that connections are fine - but no results. I restored factory settings of phone with no effect too. :/
Please help, what happend? What could be the source of problem? I don't want to order new sceen if it could beak too ;/ I read other threats about coil problem in other HTC, but I cannot find any coil in my Desire's motherboard (maybe it is hidden under plate that covers CPU and other parts). I performed tests of light sensor and it works fine. Buttons lights fine too. The problem refers only to LCD screen, and backlight doesn't respond during test.
Anyone help?
same situation
Hello kowal_luki,
I'm just in the same bad situation.
After a bad fall of the phone the screen broke so I ordered a new one for replacing it.
Opening the phone I noticed that also the LCD (and not only the external screen) was broke so had to order also the LCD.
As precaution tried to power-on my device without a complete assembly and everything seemed to be fine, so I decided to glue the LCD to the outer screen (the touch screen) with a LOCA TP-2500 glue.
Then I re-assembled it up: at first the image was a little bit disturbed but the back-light was working; after few second the back-light turned off. I checked the cable, after that the image went perfect but the back-light still dead.
Did you find a solution for this -still not explanable- problem?
