hey guys i was out today and got a txt and went to pull my 2 month to the day old diamond out of its holster and it fell about 3 feet to a hard wood floor!!! when i picked the phone up the screen would not turn on! i quickly did a soft reset hoping it would kick the screen on and NO LUCK...... but theres hope.. i can still receive incoming phone calls, and the usb to pc functions fine still!!!! here is the thing, in the 2 months that i have had the phone i have flashed custom roms and all that jazz on the phone . should i re-flash the phone with telus factory rom and do a hard reset on the phone before i bring it in and hope my warranty covers it ???????????? or are there any tips ??????? IMHO i think the ribbon that connects the screen to the phone came undone(I HOPE)
if any of you guys got any ideas or tips im all open for input?
thanks guys and oh ya HAPPY NEW YEAR
Well I too fell in the same situation and there is no other way u'll need to give back to the service center and they will do the rest however don't expect it to be returned after a day or so cause i got mine back after 2 mnths i know i was feelin really lonely without my Diamond..... but anyway they did fer free so i think the warranty covers it... tht shud sum gud news fer u in the year 2009....
MOds feel free to move if in the wrong section
**I also have searched this problem before creating a new thread
I recently dropped my phone(thats in a hard plastic protective case) approx 2 feet onto the ground. I picked my phone up pissed at my clumsiness and i noticed the phone was still working perfectly fine but everything that is supposed to appear dark is now light and vice versa. Im kinda low on funds right now but i was wondering are there any alternatives other then a screen replacement
Just checking in I have tried a few things any input would be appreciated...I think im going to go to cingular
I will post up pics to show what the phone looks like to help others who may experience this problem
It could be false economy attempting a repair yourself

I wouldn't go buying a replacement screen off the bat, it may simply be something like the flex cable has come slightly ajar. A good repair centre that know their stuff will correctly diagnose it, only replacing whats required (possibly saving you money from buying parts that aren't needed).
Thanks now my next issue...lol is finding a reputable repair shop
I have been to two places thus far and one person looked at my phone and simply said thats going to be $140 to repair before taking it apart or any diagnostics and another place wasnt even familiar with my phone so the search continues
And thanks for the help
hello all
I've been in Suriname the past three weeks for vacation
but when I took my flight, direction of Suriname, I was in a plane wich was very cold by the air conditioner
in the plane all, the time I was busy with my phone ..
On arrival you will be beaten by a heat wave.
I still had my phone in my hand, once off the plane I wanted to turn off airplane mode phone
but when I looked at the device, there is a crack under the screen ..
I have'nt bumped the device to anything get that crack. so my only thought is that the device came across large temperature differences and thus came to be a crack created under the touchscreen ...
I could not find answers to XDA nor on google because I do not know what that thing is the under the touchscreen
plus I ain't very technical with cellphones so don't say that i need to buy a digitizer and lcd from ebay and pull this of that off cut this solder that...
I'm going to try to make a picture of what so far not succeeded because my camera now shows his cures
but it was a great holiday but it costs my phone and maybe even my camera ..
Can anyone tell me what to do i still do have my warranty and all the factures
but will this be covered?
should I call HTC or not if so then someone needs to help me out getting the device all to stock
please help me out here i'm going on vacation in about 2 months and I need this phone with me!
Flash the ROM that came loaded on your phone from the SD card and it should restore your original SPL . You can always check by entering the bootloader to be sure...
Even worse, its a MDA Compact V.
Basically, I got the newton rings issue a few months ago and after reading threads on here, tried the duct tape trick which worked a treat....for about a month.
Then the issue came back of the screen not responding, so I continually used the tape to fix the screen. It got to the point where I had done it that many times, I was having to carry a roll of tape around with me, and the front of the front facia began to lift on the left hand side of the phone each time I did it.
It got to the point where I didnt need the tape anymore, I could just use my fingernail to pull the layers apart which would make the screen respond again.
However, recently I noticed a spec of dust under the screen. I put up with it for a while but last week I decided to try and get it out.
I stupidly lifted the layers apart and blew into the phone. This caused the touchscreen to behave very erratically and did not move the dust.
I was a bit tipsy at the time and actually lifted the whole of the front off the phone (thinking I could clean the screen and stick the front back down) but now the phone will not respond to touch no matter what I do.
I was thinking of trying to replace the front parts myself, but as mentioned its a Compact V not a D2, so the shape of the front of the handset is slightly different and I cannot seem to find anywhere that I can order the front facia.
I've got a lock on the phone, so I cant even flash it if I wanted to sell it as 'broken'
Can anyone think of ANYTHING that could help?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
You can flash your phone if you just put the Rom on a storage card and update it from there, and new digitizers are just 4 dollars, so just put a new one in ( or I can do it for you if you pay for the costs) I've replaced my digitizer about 3 times now... and im pretty good at it XD
i really hate to say it. but i think its just time to buy a new phone. I know money may be an issue. i dont have the cash to fork out for new phones either. but if this happened to me. i would do my best to back everything up. then just buy a cheap phone untill i saved up . i have an htc pure right now saving up for an evo 4g. I just upgraded my contract so i will have to pay full price for the evo 4g around $500.00 . unless ya can limp this one along . but from what it sounds like is its about time to bury that one ...
devices messing up does suck, im sorry..
Good Luck
Thanks guys.
Is it possible to flash from the SD card when the device is locked?

Yes it is possible. When flashing from SD you don't have to use your screen in any way. Have a look in the ROM-Threads, u will find the way to flash and some great "how-to"s.

Thanks Mar'Cel. I notice we both have the same device. Do you know anywhere online where I would be able to order replacement parts?
Thanks again, Max.

I believe if you search on screen replacement threads they have stated where they were purchsed.
Also, you can use Pocket Controller Pro or My Mobiler to access your screen from your PC.
I'm a noob and this is my thread so don't get hard on me for now.
The day before yesterday I dropped my S plus, like I did many times before, but this time after I got my specs on there was a nasty crack(s), not a scratch (whats the difference?), on the screen. I can upload a pic if you want it, but then you must have no imagination in the first place. Well that's history for now, but I want advice on how to get it back into shape the fastest cheapest way.
After researching in Google (I know its a search engine not a library) I came to know that there was something called a digitilizer and the display (forget the screen). My phone's symptoms are that everything is fine, its detecting touch and the display has no patches at all, its just the damn glass is cracked.
So how to get it replaced?
EDIT; Anyone?
