A few months back I flashed the MCU on one of my KLD MTCB units, I had done it many times before and never had a problem, but this time, the unit went into recovery, started to flash the MCU, then the screen went blank and everything shut off and since then its been totally dead.
I put the SoM in my other MCTB/C machine and it booted (to recovery) and after rebooting it ran fine, but it will not boot in the machine and the SoM from the working machine wont boot in the non working machine either.
The front of the unit including the screen and SoM (Klyde units have the SoM mounted on the back of the screen) WILL boot if its removed and put on the working machine, so the problem is with the motherboard somewhere.
I think that maybe the mcu.img I was trying to update to (MTCB KLD v2,78) was corrupt.
It was suggested that I try the method to use when the buttonless units wont go into recovery - shorting pin 8 on the MCU etc, that doesnt work.
I m stumped.
I did have to solder a resistor back 6 months before the unit died, but it worked fine for 6 months before it died, I thought maybe the solder had cracked or something and re-soldered it, but it still wont boot.
I d be grateful for any suggestions.
I know who can repair it...

I got a problem with my WLAN... i may tap it till the screen explodes but it doesn't want to turn on... Little charging screen and then when ready it's still off! What can i do?
i have gt the same problem plz help
Mine too...
no one can help us?
I have the same problem.. I cannot start wlan in diamond.
I have tried to soft reset, hard reset, flash with 2 different custom rom, flash 3 different radio, flash with stock rom 2.03, but it still not works.
I'll try to switch of my phone tonight and put it in the refigerator for whole night (seems silly but I have no other idea), let see what is the result tomorrow.
i had the same problem. burned motherboard was the technician description when i took it to warranty!
i think i'm gonna send it on assistance
Too bad mine is out of warranty now...
Anyone knows how much normally it is cost to repair this?
and i just got the same problem now.
WLAN doesnt start at all.
This is a very common problem with the Diamond... I think it gets to hot and some important component (or the motherboard) can't handle the heat.
There's another thread regarding this issue here somewhere...
I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3779832&postcount=1
and I feel bored during the lunch time, so I decided to open up my diamond, take off the mainboard, and put everything back again.
Now.. I have my WLAN back...
Try upgrading your radio
I had the same problem like you: When I turned the WLAN in the Connection Manager on, a waiting cursor appeared and nothing happened.
But when I upgraded my Radio yesterday it worked just like it should and WLAN turned back on.
So I recommend to upgrade to a new Radio version. I went from Radio v1.11.25.01 to v1.15.25.14. Now I have a fast GPS-Lock an my WLAN back
P.S. Radio v1.15.25.14 can be downloaded here. It's official, so you don't have to be Security Unlocked (SU).
I was flashing a rom the other day (that i had flashed in the past and worked fine) and then i noticed that the touchscreen did not work. (everything else worked)
i flashed back to the cyanogen rom and my touchscreen still did not work.
(when i say my touchscreen doesnt work i mean that i cant touch anything, not even the android to set up my phone)
the trackball works but i am FORCED to touch the android and i cant
ive been flashing and still no luck, any ideas on what happened to my touchscreen or any ideas on how to fix it?
please help!!
I've seen a few of the threads. More than likely your touch screen has died (hardware issue - not software) and I'm not sure if that's replaceable.
Ask a technision :/ like the guy above said its proble the tS died may need replacement or ribbon isnt connected rite .
So whats my best bet in going about this?
i dont know what to do :/
if you feel like your able to take apart the phone and replace the screen, you could always try it. either that or buy a new phone or possibly a cell phone repair shop if you even have one.
i decided to kinda drop it.
it works now...
thanks for your help anyways guys!
D:
I wouldn't be DROPPING it to fix it...
Problem is probably a badly seated ribbon cable, which means it is STILL not well seated and will probably happen again.
Look in the screen hinge as you're sliding the screen open -- see the little ribbons in there? Probably got yanked a little.
Hey all!
Today my phone seems to have completely died, it only boots into speedmod recovery but wont let me do anything in it, I managed to access the 'Install Zip from SD card' but there was nothing there it said. It wont boot into android what so ever. I again managed to access speedmod recovery and get to mount for storage mode which when connected shown no files.
It hasn't worked right since I was pushed over in town, I landed onto of my phone and it came out unscathed but since then it has crashed allot and the when I remove the back the smell of like when a capacitor has blown up (If you don't know that smell it's nasty, my tutor at college popped one to show us what happened, he was actually bored and wanted to do something fun and random XD) but yeah it stinks like that really bad.
I tried to boot into download mode and access it to install stocks but my computer hasn't picked it up at all in any way, doesn't even play the device connected or device faulty sound...
=/ I guess it is broken. What can you tell me? Any help would be awesome.

Hi, first of all don't panic until you have tried every possible fix.
I had once a problem when the phone only would boot up to an ugly exclamation mark and a drawing telling me to plug it to the computer, but the computer din't even notice when I plugged the phone so I supposed it was dead.
I would recommend you to try to make the JIG cable recommended in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551, I managed to put my phone in a working download mode and use odin to flash the SO again
Hope this helps
Hey! Thanks for the quick reply but unfortunately I tried this and nothing would happen. I had the download mode problem when I first tried to install custom roms, it worked then but unfortunately this time it hasn't =[
From what you say I would be very careful, from the smell you describe it sounds like a short somewhere, and could feasibly cause a fire , so pull the battery!

Smell of burned capacitor? Dude, dont turn it on.
Take battery off, disassemble it and watch the mainboard for any broken elements, if you have got a little electronic physics knowledge then take service manual, all onboard elements are marked there as R, C and so on, test them with multimeter, or ask someone to do it and pray you'll find damaged element. Start checking from power circuits (most likely the biggest capacitors sets onboard)
Also some soldering around may be broken, on battery circuit it would cause high temperature gain, use magnifying glass and little tool to make careful pressure to check it.
If some BGA chip unsoldered/bricked, then you are screwed. Maybe you know someone in hi tech service can resolder it for you, as usually it is not cheap.
Thanks for your help, I haven't disassembled the phone where the scent had grown stronger then faded slowly, I placed the battery back into the device enough so that the contacts were fully meeting and the scent came back strong. I will check it with a multi meter to see if there is any kind of fault to do with that.
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated =]
FIXED
Hey guys,
I just want to post a quick update to say I've got my Galaxy S working again. I managed to get the phone into download mode and it was eventually picked up in Odin3 I managed to get the phone working again, rooted and installed Darky's ROM 10 and as it turns out it is that causing the problem, sorry Darky but it doesn't work for me, 9.5 runs like a dream though so it's all good on that front.
Just got all my apps downloaded and installed and everything is in perfect order.
The wierd smell I spoke of in an earlier post is actually because of the wallet I kept my phone in, I've taken it out n it's stopped smelling so I've bought a new wallet for it, don't know why it smelled, probably because I kept my phone in my friends rucksack which has had alsorts spilled in it XD Thanks for the advice, it was much appreciated.
Hey all, i got one problem, i disassembled my htc hd 2 to desolder the old digitizer and to solder the new one, so i soldered, at first time it was not working, second time soldering - not working, that until i resoldered it 6 times, still, not working, so i soldered the old one ( broken one) tryed to turn up the phone - all normal, it turned, O2 logo showed, then waiting for a booting android-
Load done!
123456
Go! go! go! ........... AND nothing happens ( with the new digitizer it booted good, fully, after the old one soldering back to the place - it is not booting, just till this go go go).
So what could be the problem? Please guys help me to find out whats wrong because it is getting me nervous... :crying:
If you can't help him, why do you even bother posting in his thread? Just to make posts?
Why do you solder so many times? The phone may be damaged now, because of your soldering, which may be done worse. If you're lucky, you can clean the parts and solder again, but I wouldn't do that. Try to flash WinMo and try to boot it. If it doesn't work, take the phone to somebody who can help you.
Help! No touches are working, I even used webOS doctor and went back to webOS to no prevail. I know that these forums are mainly for software and this is probably a hardware issue, but I hope someone will be able to help me.
Backstory: this issue happened last year I think (don't remember exactly when) and I got frustrated a lot by the tablet so I just packed it up in the original box and now it's downstairs in my basement LOL

There are different reasons for the touch screen not to work, example:
The battery got overheated and trapped air, causing to bloat and apply pressure on the screen.
It can be dirty inside (dust) some cleaning could help.
The connector came loose.
For a hardware issue the only way to trouble shoot it is to open it and do a detail inspection. If the module for the touch screen is not working, find another Tablet 16g or 32g will work and swap the screen.
