Hi,
I have troubles with my XDA-Display.
After Installation and Start of a Autoroute Program my Display has many Strips in all Colors and will not return to normal-mode.
HW-Reset, SW-Reset, New Flashing brought no result.
After opening the equipment I had briefly again a normal picture, but since that have I again only strips on the XDA.
Synchronise is okay, Backup i can make, but I have still no CE-Screen, only stripes. it would be beautifully if someone the problem knows and me thereby help could
Best regards
Verena
If opening it temporarily helped, then I would suspect the screen cable may be loose. That is the large brown flat ribbon on the motherboard. The socket it goes into releases by flipping up the dark brown strip on top of it. Then remove and reinsert the cable, close the socket, and see what happens.
Thanx Carlos for your Reply - I tried to reconnect the brown Screen-Cable, but still its the same Problem. The Screen is nowere broken and the XDA did no fall down .
Perhaps Somewhere has(d) the same probleme ?!

Sounds like the display drivers (the hardware) have failed. I think it's warranty return time, but maybe someone else can come up with an idea.
Warranty return is when the little sticker isn't broken, and you need to break it to get to the display connector.
Doesn anyone have a good source for warranty stickers? There must be special factories that make them. I'd like to convince one of these factories I do procurement for some major electronics firms, and get tons of different samples.
It's a common xda problem
I had the same problem and it was a return under warranty job for me - luckily I still had 1 month left on the warranty.
Googling around we're not the only people to suffer from this, it seems to have happened to quite a few xda owners.
See http://groups.google.com/[email protected]&rnum=1
and http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...-8&[email protected]
and others.
It'd be nice to know what percentage of XDA's go like this- I get the feeling it's quite a few.
Hi,
This is a know problem. I am now on my 4th XDA, all have had the same problem with the screen. o2 seem happy to swap it out each time. Does anyone know if re-placing the screen will fix this?

Two answers...
Do companies in Europe really check this? I've opened exchanged quite a number of products that I've opened, never a question. I always figured those were there as a deterrent, nothing else. Actually come to think of it, I'm not sure that US laws would allow a company to void a warranty for opening a product unless it could be proven that it caused the failure.
On my US unit, the only sticker is on the screw on the MB at the top of the unit. You don't have to remove this to remove the display cable from the MB, only to remove the MB from the device.
XDA Display Problem
Now, after 4 days my XDA I switched off and on -> HAPPY - my XDA has the normal screen
Perhaps only Revision-Series have the problem ?

Hi from Australia.
One of the three battery connector fingers has broken off in my HD2, rendering it useless. Telstra, as per usual, refuses to do anything about it under warranty and wants just under $400 to fix it. So I have a number of questions.
1) This appears to be a design flaw. Has anyone else had this problem?
2) Is there documentation to show how to pull the phone apart?
3) Does anyone know if the pcb that the battery fingers are on is available anywhere, except from HTC?
4) Does anyone know of a company that might fix this problem without it costing as much as a new phone?
Thanks in advance.

A workaround for the time being would be to get an external battery charger, you get one built in to most cradles. You can pick them up for ~£10 on eBay and you can also pick up a spare battery for £5.
I know it's not an ideal solution but for ~£15 it may well see you though until you can get the problem sorted.
So I've always been really carfull plugging in my charger. Never had an Issue. I get a Wifi Flyer for my wife for Christmas and she has already broken the charging port. It appears that the internal tab has been pushed into the devise so it won't engage the charger. Anyone experience this?
My plan is to take it apart and attempt to repair the port. Haven't found the right driver yet to get the screws off the back. It appears to be a star bit and a 1.27mm hex won't work.
Anyways after the case is off, I'm guessing it will take a little soldering to put it back in place as I'm not hopefull it just popped out and can be pushed back. Any Advice would be welcome.

Couldn't find the correct bit at any store in the area. Have one on order from amazon, should be here Tuesday. Will update when I get it apart.
I struggle about every night to get my View plugged in. Can't be good. Is there a dock available and is it any safer?
There is a dock, but of course the plug will be the same, probably harder to align then the cable.

Any progress? Looks like I will have to deal with this too.
Call HTC and send it back for warranty repair. My Flyer had a damaged LCD and we sent it to HTC and they repaired it for free.
I bought mine "open box" from Tech4Less in November, it was originally from Best Buy. It is worth a shot in my opinion. I figured mine was a long shot since I had no proof when and where I bought it from, but they fixed it anyways!
waranteed
I had the same problem and I sent it back and they repaired it for free. Make sure you have a backup as they factory reset
Do you the contact info for htc"?

Hello.
So to make a veeeery long story short, the phone leaked water in a lake at about 0.5 meters depth after a minute or two with flaps definitely closed (checked 5-10 times before submersion). The screen then flickered and died.
Phone gets sent away to a service center, tested and results unsurprisingly say its watertight so must be user fault. Sony and service provider refuse to help me in any way to fix the broken phone, so basically they say i have to pay it as normal (it was 4 weeks old at time of damage).
I received the phone back after countless phone calls to sony and service provider trying to get them to take responsibility, especially sony, but to no avail.
So now im trying to fix it myself. I took the phone apart, and the screen connector at the bottom was fried as expected. I bought a new screen and flex connector cable but still my screen wont show. The touchscreen works perfect, and so does the phone. When i connect it to my tv via MHL it works flawlessly. Every function including the new touchscreen works perfect, just that the screen is black on the device.
Am i missing something?? I really want to get this working so i can say IN YOUR FACE to this stupid company SONY. Im thinking the only thing it could be now is some faulty component on the mainboard regarding screen output, seems strange though that everything works perfect via MHL, especially the touchscreen.
Anybody have any ideas? Would be greatly appreciated if anyone can share similar experiences!
Cheers, Vincent from Sweden.

Hello.
The phone has booted ever since it got water damaged, even with the bad screen. Yes the touch panel works perfect but no display, and i can see and use everything on the phonebon my tv via mhl cable. I even updated firmware whilst using mhl to see if it would help but still no picture on the device.
I have replaced the touch screen and the flex ribbon cable that connects screen to mainboard. I have also removed mainboard and cleaned it with 95% alcohol incase some water or dirt causing a short circuit somewhere.
The mainboard looks fine, and everything works apart from the visual screen. Nothing is overheating. Im really baffled as to what could be wrong, but it surely must be something on the mainboard?

I got same issue on Galaxy S4 but that wasn't water proof so this type of damage was normal for it.
have u tried ur display on another board?
- as Sony said it was user fault... after phone get wet have u tried to dry it with heat?
+ as i read the warranty agreements when u open phone by urself or others (non official center) it will void the warranty.
anyway If ur display not working with another board so thr is problem in display panel and not anything on board.
Please Inform me if u got any info or result of this damage
Thanks

Yes the phone is thoroughly dried out. I only opened the phone after i had received it back from sony service. They said it wasnt covered by warranty because it was water damaged and was caused by the user (even though both water indicators behind the 2 flaps are still white and not been exposed to water), and they said that they never repair water damaged phones.
Thats why i decided to open it and try to fix it myself, i had nothing (more) to lose!
I havent tried the new display on another board, thats exactly what i want to do but cant get hold of a new board. I've even been taking apart previous smartphones to see if the display can be connected to it somehow just so i can confirm it works. But the probability is that it does work, as the first "broken" screen worked in the same way as this one, touchscreen fine but no display. Thats why i changed the flex cable also, i thought it must be that when the mainboard seems to be doing everything else perfectly.
Does the problem have to be in one of those 3 components? Screen, flex cable, mainboard, or have i missed something?
Thanks

Yes, it should be those factors. From what you have stated, its most probably the connector on the main board. Before you make more purchases, try to take it to a shop and ask them to test the screen on another phone, so you can see if its the screen or not. It MIGHT be a faulty flex cable that you just purchased, hopefully, since its the cheaper solution. I actually bought one in ebay that was water damaged, changed the screen, middle frame and flex cable, and have a brand new refurbished Z2, good for me the main board was intact. I would take the board out, wash it with 95% alcohol again with a soft toothbrush to brush impurities off the connector piece. Then spray it a little with electrical spray and leave it in rice to thoroughly dry out overnight and try all the connections again. Look through the main board with a magnifying glass and see if anything obvious burned out, the smallest connection can cause problems.
If all fails, then take it to a shop to test the screen or the main board, hopefully they are friendly enough to do it.
Good luck buddy. :good:

Sounds like good advice elbello
Good to know that you have managed to fix a water damaged Z2 using the same mainboard, hopefully i can have the same luck.
So you think it could be the flex cable? Are they known to break easily?
I have already cleaned the board twice with alcohol, maybe using electrical spray might help, and i will check it with a magnifying glass aswell.
Hopefully i can find a shop that will test the screen for me, but this is Sweden, the place where no favours are done, and where everything has to be sent away and fixed by professionals!
Thanks for the replys guys
I have just checked the whole mainboard with a magnifier, and found no oxidation anywhere. I found quite a bit of dirt in some places, and i have once again cleaned the screen connector with 95% alcohol and also the other side of the board behind the screen connector. I dont have any electrical spray at this time so cant test with that.
Another thing i have realised is that there is visual damage to two contact points that are located at the bottom of the phone, very close to where the flex cable connects to the lcd screen. What are these two contacts for, and could they be causing the problem? I will attach an image of them.
Thanks.

From that picture, I dont think that affects the screen at all. Bad thing is you cant try the two pieces you bought with another board so you can narrow the problem down.
I doubt the electrical spray will make wonders, it just good to clean dirt and make the contacts react better after oxidation, but if you state they are clean...
Think your only options is to consider it a loss, sell it in ebay for parts and stuff, or try getting a new flex and see if it was that, but if it wasnt, its like throwing money away. I would say the same for the screen, but those go for $100+ easily.

Yea i was thinking about selling it for parts, but its not really worth much without a working mainboard. I will probably just keep it and wait till i can get hold of a new board. How much do you think a new board would cost? I cant find one anywhere at the moment when searching on ebay/google.
Wish i had access to a working board for testing

Thinking of buying a used z2 with intermittent touchscreen issues. It works but seems to be intermittent it either takes multiple taps to work or it goes mad like your pressing the keys could this be down to water damage or possibly just a software issue and need re-flashing a ftf by clean install it's a totally stock z2 in mint condition for £50
