Does anybody know if it's worse trying to repair a Wallaby that was stuck completely into water for several seconds? Although it seems that it still works, the display shows nothing than a backlight.

Please help!
Since yesterday, after plug off from loading, my HD2 (German t-mobile ROM 1.77, Radio 2.07) doesn't switch of screen. In the past week, I haven't changed anything or installed any apps.
By pressing 'off' key, screen becomes black and will be revoked with screen lock after few seconds. When screen light gets low after predfined time, it will come back will full light after few seconds.
I've tried hard reset, installed stock ROM from t-mobile (include radio ROM) - nothing changed.
Does anyone can help?

I've seen this issue periodically here on the boards. From what I've read from the users who experience this issue, it is likely to be hardware related. One way to test this is to turn off the screen when the device is plugged in (charging)? If the screen will stay off when plugged in then I have some bad news.
The only solution I have seen is to send the device in to HTC for repair. Sorry.
I believe it has something to do with the micro usb being defective.
Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Many THX, the device is within warranty and I will request for repair.
this sounds like the "car kit mode" hardware issue.

Look at the end of the thread for the reason it is happening, and you will need to have it repaired or replaced.
Device has been repaired/changed by t-mobile Germany without any reservations within 48 hours.
Hello, so I disassembled and the I reassembled the phone as I've done a couple of times in the past without issue but this time around I got a pink screen and uncooperative buttons.
Neither my screen or digitizer seems damaged so where else can the fault lie? What does having a single colour on your screen (when you boot it) means? (I've searched but haven't found anyone with the same problem). Anyone that has encountered the same please do enlighten me...
Thanks.
Hello! So my Xperia Mini pro has been broken, it doesn't show any image anymore, I think there is a problem with the screen but I want a confirmation or recommendation to find out what the problem is.
First the screen "touch" capability stopped working, and then two weeks after that, the back and option buttons stopped working too. And a week after that ,there was like a screen "flickering" (I tried to recreate the problem in the attached image) when I tried to either open or close the slider.
Finally the screen stopped working anymore. I tried to connect the phone to the PC but says that windows cannot recognize the hardware. And there's one more thing: I can turn on the phone, it vibrates, but the keyboard lights seems that are not working, they are permanently off.. and when I try to Increase the volume it doesn't sound either... There is only the black screen and a backlight.
Please Help me to find out what is the problem, I'm thinking to buy a screen replacement on eBay, but some people told me that is the "flex" cable. I'm not sure if there is a fix for my phone's problem.
Thanks!
Hey there.
Based on my experience, yes, your problem is most likey a flex ribbon issue. Your flex has been ripping apart lately, causing many of its wires to break. This can cause a lot of unpredictable problems, such as a misbeheaving notification LED, inactive ambient light sensor, or "dead" display/touch digitizer. Your problems have gotten worse over time, which is clearly a symptom of a broken flex.
You phone is no longer booting up to android because the kernel no longer detects a proper "response" from the display driver and halts the bootup. This is why you can feel the phone vibrating when pressing the power button, but nothing else happens. Your screen assembly is fine, I can assure you that, unless your glass is broken, of course.
Here's one hell of a good teardown guide: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Sony+Ericsson+Xperia+Mini+Pro+SK17i+Teardown/7275
I used that very same guide when I repaired my own xmp. I regret messing with my screen assembly because I destroyed it and had to buy a new one, which is costly
Thank You so much for the advice ! Now I'll try to repair it, It doesn't seem too difficult. Thank You Again!!!
Hello!
My phone fell from a high place some weeks ago and the screen shattered. Touch was unresponsive, clicking everywehere, but LCD was fine, i could see everything on screen normally.
Ordered a new screen. Changed it, but when I turned it on, only backlight of the LCD was visible, but it was displaying nothing. I thought it was a defective screen (either way, it was, lots of stuck pixels), sent it back and bought another from the same seller. When I changed it and turned it on, again, no video output, lcd would light on but woundn't display nothing on screen. Googled a bit, found out it could be a defective fuse on the motherboard, and that soldering it again would solve. I know nothing about this kind of stuff, so I picked up a tweezers and apllied a little force on every fuse, because I thougth that way I could try to solve it. Well, it worked, kinda. I put the screen above that blue plastic glue only for testing, and it worked, I felt reliefed for seeing sony boot logo again. Figuring out it had worked, i took out the screen, took out the blue plastic, and glued the screen back on. For my surprise, it had the same problem as before, and it doesn't matter what I do now, it wont work anymore, only displays a black backlight with no video.
Could anyone help me out with this? Give me a hint of why it worked once but not anymore. Could it be there's really a defective fuse, or it was just a coincidence that it worked after it had force apllied? Also, the Screen flex is kinda loose, it keeps coming off all the time, and it's really hard to plug it to the LCD sometimes, is it supposed to be like that, or could it be the culprit? Also, touch is working normally, i can't see nothing on screen but i can click and feel it vibrating.
It's kind of a big text, but that's the way I could explain it. Sorry for the bad english, it's not my native language.
And thanks in advance if anyone can help!
(UPDATE: Here is a link to a short video of my issue: https://youtu.be/YqKW3tU4Fhw)
So I cant seem to find ANY info relating to this issue aside from results for the LG G4, but the solutions for said phone are all over the place. Some are bad screen, some are related to sim tray, some are related to water damage and battery etc. So basically, about a month after buying this phone (KIW-L24 US version), the screen started to artifact and flash in and out randomly. There is nothing that seems to trigger it. I have set the phone down on a table while on the homescreen and watched the lightshow. It is basically a mixture of the problems seen in these videos (Feat. LG G4).
https://youtu.be/gAUkXLR7eQI And https://youtu.be/QstOH66pfiU.
Symptoms:
Screen will randomly start to flicker and fade in and out. I will also get crazy artifacting lines. (Think de-gaussing an old CRT monitor or simillar to what is seen in the second video)
If i see the problems happening, locking the phone and unlocking again will sometimes fix it temporarily. Other times the problem continues after i turn the screen back on.
Sometimes the screen will refuse to come back on. The backlight turns on, and the digitizer responds, but the screen is still black. Making sure the screen really is off, I can come back to the phone a few minutes later and it will turn on. Other times ill have to hard reset the phone (hold power button 10 sec) and it usually brings the screen back to life.
Background:
I bought the phone "used - Like New" from amazon. It came with all the original accessories and even still had the film protector on the back of the phone. I may have noticed these problems after I received the phone, but they really only started to show about a month after purchase.
At first I though it could be software related as I was running CM13 and something could have been corrupted, so i did not just a factory restore, but a full reflash. This didn't solve the issue. Restarting my phone and the reflash did help, but the problem returned. The inability to turn the screen on persists through a reset and I have to wait till the phone boots again to get the screen back. Sometimes takes more than one reboot. This pretty much confirms a hardware issue right? If i put the phone on a black screen, i can see three small fuzzy "dots" in a triangle shape in the top left quadrant. Could the screen have been damaged by whoever owned it before returning it? They are not dead pixels per se, but seems more like areas where the backlight is showing through ever so slightly more. Not visible unless you are on a black screen in a dark room. Ill upload a video showing some of the issues. Any help is appreciated!
im afraid you need a new display brodar...
Seems to be hardware issue. You can visit the nearest service center to get it fixed for few bucks if you don't have warranty.
Yeah that's what i figured, i just needed conformation. I was able to get amazon to take the return even though I was out of the return period. So at least ill be able to get a refund. Ill just pay the extra for a new one this time haha.
One question : Do u have over heat problem with ur phone ?? If u feel ur phone is more than work from the back dont replace . U'll damage the new screen also . Some ppl erported over heat cpu issue with honor ! ;.

Try moving to stock once , if it fixed stick to it for few days . 99% of possible cases for hardware issue .
