When I went to use my XDA on Saturday I pulled it out of my pocket to find the screen garbles... all it has is fast moving black lines all over it (I've attached a photo showing this)... I've tried a soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
Any ideas?
It's broken. Nature's way of telling you it's time to upgrade to an XDAIIi.
I would open the device and check cable connection. Maybe it helps.....

I think the rust I spotted inside has told me the answer...
I no longer have an xda :-(
been given a p800... not half the phone the xda is, but I'll have to put up with it...

Hello everybody,
Since yesterday my Xda doesn't work anymore. I tried to sync an image to my Xda, and then i got a strange stripe over my screen. I reset the device, and then the screen went blank and faded into blue stripes. When i put it in my docking it gives the noice of synchronizing. But i see nothing ... I already made a back-up and tried to reset it, soft and hard.
I doesn't work, who can help me?
Thanks!
Dennis
looks like a screen connector problem ... have you dropped it or something ?
No... what do then???
there are VERY few virus's out for pocketpc's
even non of them would ever be able to stray there
after a hardreset
i would say that it's a hardware issue
Maybe something with my bios? I can approach my Pocket pc through my computer. The screen goes from white until a white screen with stripes...
What to do?
I purchased a broken XDA (broken touchscreen) to take apart and try to repair - didn't want to crack the case on my working one. Before opening the it, I turned it on and got the "Align Screen" routine, so I know the screen worked at one point. I opened it up, detached the cables, removed the LCD module, then reassembled everything. I used the same LCD module, no replacements at this time, this was just a trial run.
Unfortunately, once I tried to turn the XDA back on, I got nothing. I performed a hard reset and got the White Screen. Tried soft reset, hard reset, opened it back up and redid the cables. Still nothing.
I'm open to suggestions.

Bad reassembled or disassembled
Obviously. Anyone with useful suggestions?
Doug
i had the same rpoblem too, never solved it, although before this i made the same trick more than 5 times oin which one of them was on the same phone.
Just a thought but when you've taken out the lcd & put it back in have you overtightened it ? or is there anything pushing on the edges of the screen ?
I know some displays go very strange if there is pressure at certain points.. just an idea :?
LCD Screen Change
Haha! I fixed it. Got a big ol' magnifying glass and examined the connector. One of the little pins was bent and touching the pin next to it, so I pulled it away, and lo and behold, everything started working normally!
Whew. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Mirrored Display
hello XDA community,
I have here an imate Jasjar which after a screen upgrade is displaying the image reversed. It did not begin like this,
Upon first booting up the device after screen upgrade, all was fine, screen displayed normally. About a week after this, the screen began flickering, not on/off, but instead, reversing the image shown on the screen. (a mirror) effect. I did not know what to make of this. I delt with it best I could.
A day or two after this flickering began, the screen began to remain in this reversed image mode, which I did not enjoy. The same day, I had dropped the JJ into a tub ( a pretty hard fall), but somehow, by the grace of god, the water failed to enter the inside of the Jasjar.
After the fall, I had noticed that the screen had stopped its flickring antics and remained normal for about a week and a half. It is now displaying a reversed image only.
I now am unsure of what to do, I searched throughout the XDA forums and discovered that performing a hard reset should repair this.
I suppose my main question is, is there a registry tweak I can perform to revert the displayed image back to its original state
Many thanks to all who respond.

as far as I know, both of your devices are probably dead. Back in the time I was repairing old Ipaq's the mirrow effect was epically called "The mirrow of death" and meant that the display controller (a chip) has failed.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you have many chances to bring them back. Maybe this is not your case, but anyway chances are slim.
thats actually a very interesting idea. If you can mirror them via software, you can fool the device into working again
solution ?
Any solution to this yet ?
Is anyone working on that brilliant idea of that mirroring software ?
I've been having the same problem for almost 6 months now. But for some reasons I am surviving with my O2 XDA EXEC. Now, I can hand my brick to friends without being concerned about my personal messages being read.
However, I have found something. When I charge my phone with a motorola charger, while on charger, the screen flips back to normal. So, my best bet- it is actually a tweeny weenie IC not doing what it is supposed to do.
mirror solution!
Tape the phone to your car's dash and use it as a H.U.D.!!!
hey.... maybe I am on to something here mmmm.....

Does anyone know how to make the PDA do this, I've searched everywhere for a software solution but to no avail.
I want to add a second screen to my PDA (piggybacking on the existing screen) but with an inverted display. This way I will have a normal touchscreen display for entering data and an inverted display for HUD use.
I'm aware that when this happens as a fault it is normally due to a loose display connection causing one of the outer contact to come loose, but I'd need to know which 'wire to cut' to force this fault.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
My HTC is giving me problems. The screen has become yellowish.
Earlier the screen used to become yellowish for 5-10 mins and it used to occur in two weeks or so. But now the phone has permanently become yellowish. I am also attaching a picture along with this thread. As you can see, the areas in the pic which are bluish is showing the true color of the background. Rest of the screen is all yellowish.
Can someone help me with this problem.
Best regards,
MOhit Goyal
Looks like a faulty contact from your Motherboard to your screen (bad connector, bad flex-strip or something like that)
IMO you need to send it in for repairs.
I have had the same with my p3300, but was able to fix it myself (connector was not completely pressed down, had come loose)
Hardware problem?
Do you think this is a hardware problem?
Why I doubt that is because:-
1. Whenever I touch any place on the screen for opening an application, the area shows the actual color, but if I just touch the screen the colours doesn't change.
2. Usually the phone starts displaying the correct colours after a restart
Should I take chances and reset my phone or something?
I'm having the exact same problem every now & then (often occurs when I keep the phone in my jeanspocket) A light tap on the screen often helps. Had it in for repairs earlier, but they only re-flashed it (!) So the problem is not solved
What to do now?
I am not able to play any game. I hate looking at my phone. It makes me so angry.
How do I get it fixed. Its the fourth consecutive day with the wrong colours.
Someone please help.
Performed a hard reset but still not working properly
This is not happening. I performed a hard reset thinking that it might just work but it did not.
Can someone please help me here.
Of course it is a hardware fault. Send it in for repair - or repair it yourself
I think is a virus or something else, because has happened to many people lately.
I also had the issue as pictured above.....and exactly as described in the first post.
It began to occur about three weeks....and gradually was getting worse.
Its getting worse
Again I am doubtful that its a hardware problem.
Now, I am not even able to open anything on my phone. I keep getting thrown back to the main screen. No matter what I open, what application I am using, it just keeps throwing me back to the main menu.
In addition to that, even when I am not using the phone, it just keeps flashing. I lock it and the screen turns on again. Its like the phone is getting used every second.
I think its a virus. Does anyone know any anti virus solutions for HTC HD2?
Thanks,
Mohit Goyal
i got exactly the same problem - check my photos here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716002&page=2
i donth think it is a virus - why? - becase if it so the virus should go when you reflash the rom or flash a new rom - i douubt also about the virus but when install new rom the color issue still existig.
i sent my device to the dealer for repair and i will apdate you about the real reason when i got the answer from the dealer.
however, the same issue happened before to one of my friends and the device was out of warantee - he took it to a repair shop and they told him it is a kind of default in the mother board.
this time we will get dealer answer so lets wait.
thanks
a member in other forum advised me to use the attached cab which solve a similar issue in Blackstone.
but it is too late for me because i returned the device to the dealer
however- other member faced a similar issue and the dealer told him it a default in the motherboard.
Send in for repair......

Listen to the others... You need to send phone in for repair... My phone use to flicker on and off to the point where I couldn't call or use.... I sent to be repaired and they replaced the mother board, but didn't fix my other problems (phone will not turn off and when u put in battery phone turns on on it's own)..... I would send in for repair.......................
htc contacted me an inform me that the reason was the motherboard
yea its the motherboard isue i droped mind and d screen has changd its colour to yelow blue and sometimes wnt wake up aftr remvng 4m poket.gave it htc repair center they said a socket or conector has a problm whch cnt be repaired and so mothrboard needs to b changed.motherboard cost 8000rupees/190dolars whch is **** expensive for repairing
I had this same problem and read on some other forum that you're supposed to "flex" the phone. So I bended my phone a little (the top and bottom backwards, be careful the screen also has glass in it) to try to get a bit of a curve in it and by god ...it worked!!!!! The screen flickered and then the yellow screen was gone!!! I'm so glad because I mailed Htc two days earlier and I still don't have a response from them. I hope it works for you
Just to confirm... The same thing happen to me its either (A) the cable from MOBO to Screen came loose usually by flexing or bending the phone which can happen in someones pocket. (B) the cable connector came loose by same methods (C) MOBO went bad usually by same methods. Either way one should it in for repairs or crack it open and see for your self.
I got same problem before, it happened when the screen is moist. it looks like there is an absorbent layer behind the screen which got damped. try drying it.....found article to contained the unit in a seal container with rice overnite for drying electronic gadgets, and see the result.remember to take off the battery. good luck.
I'm using an HD2 on T-Mobile, still running the stock Windows. (haven't gotten around to slapping android on yet)
A.) ... was at work today, took the phone out of my pocket, and I couldn't get the screen to go on. The hardware buttons on the bottom would go on, and I could feel it vibrating and booting up when I powered it on, but after hard resetting(removing the battery, I mean) the screen still wouldn't go on.
.....so I go home with it powered on still, pull it out of my pocket and BAM! the screen goes on and it looks normal... but....
1.) Now the bottom 5 hardware buttons won't go off when I lock the phone. Sometimes they're dim, sometimes they're bright as if I'm using it. sometimes they flicker on and off.
2.) the screen won't brighten beyond 20%. It adjusts 10-20% fine, but sliding it from 20%-100% does nothing.
3.)In addition, whenever I hook it up to a PC to charge/transfer files, I SOMETIMES get the "This Device would work faster in USB 2.0" message. that I never got before these issues. This is confirmed by slow transfer speeds when this happens(400-600kb/s instead of the normal 3-5mb/s). This leads me to believe it could be something internal in the phone...
Worth taking to T-Mobile? Not sure what they can do for free, I bought it used about a month ago.
I Tried a factory reset recently, didn't do anything to help these problems.
I tried running it on another battery, same issues.
Think putting android on it could help any?
XDA Devs is the best around for this type of thing, so I figure there's someone on here who could give some advice. I love the phone, but these problems are awful! Thanks so much!
try re-flashing the stock ROM first (factory reset might be not enough), then if the symptoms reappear I'd think of warranty repair
