Dell venue 8 7840 green screen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, I was playing a game on my tablet and the screen suddenly turned green. Now power on each time is a green screen. I tried power and volume buttons pressed down but just get the green screen. Tried flashing it using Intel Phone flash tool just green screen. Flashed droid boot.zip, u brick.zip still green screen. Totally clueless how to get beyond the green screen. Please advise. Thank you.

Did you ever get this sorted? Mine just did this and I can't get it working again either. Did the GPU or panel take a crap or what? :/

Blue screen error!

So, I rooted, took out ads, and sideloaded some apps on my gf's kindle hdx 7" ... Its been running good for about 2 weeks . this morning she sent a text and a picture of her hdx complaining about her screen turned blue and she can't do anything. I told her to do a hard reboot. (Hold power button until everything shuts down). It worked but when she tries to play a game it'll go back into this blue screen. No words just a blank blue screen . kind of like a blue screen error on windows. Anyone else has had an experience like this ? I'll post a picture soon.
This only happens when she tries to play games?

That looks like an app issue. Check to see what game it is & if it recently updated. GTA San Andreas for instance turns the screen a solid black. I have had another game, don't remember which, that turns the screen solid white. Another did a yellow-ish hue. So, I don't think it is the device or anything you did.

[solved] need help, xt910 stuck on black screen after boot logo

--solved--
Okay I need some help to fix my phone because somehow I did something to my phone it really did not like. I will try to keep it as short as possible.
Since last week I was running liquidsmooth nightly LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-13-umts_spyder on my xt910 and it was running as smooth as it could get.
This morning I decided to simply reboot the phone for no particular reason, battery above 90%, it shut off, it turned back on, showed the motorola logo and then a black screen. nothing else and I have not been able to make it show anything else.
volume+, volume- and power button in every combination, result in the same situation.
on the black screen I can press volume keys to make it vibrate but I am not sure what it actually does.
windows recognizes the device as motorola usb composite device and an MTP XT910, so far so good. Even RSD lite shows it as xt910 and connected though all device properties (IMEI etc.) are N / A and flashing results in "phone could not change to fastboot mode"
I found a similar problem described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767469 (especially the last post).
Since the last reboot I installed plants vs zombies 2 and reinstalled google chrome, nothing else has changed.
I can't get into the fastboot menu to select ap fastboot, I tried doing the right steps at the black screen blindly but apparently it is not the same screen.
I am pretty clueless what to try next and I am not even sure if the phone is still being charged when I connect it to the charger.
sooo what to do?
thx a lot

You have a black screen but the phone isn't really turned off...
When you see that black screen,press and hold the power button until you see the white line flashing for a moment,like on Tv,that means it's turned off.
Immediately after that press all 3 buttons,vol-,vol+ and power button to get into the boot menu and then choose AP Fastboot from there.

interesting, first turning it off by holding power allowed the three-button combo to bring up the fastboot menu. thanks a thousand times.currently flashing sbf image
:highfive: worked

just a quick thought, is it possible that I provoked the black screen by using liquidsmooth on the system1 slot?
Not likely. Liquid Smooth has been in my #1 slot for quite a while. (Not stock side, just 1st slot on safestrap....)

Samsung Galaxy Edge 6 dark screen not charging help needed

I have a Edge 6 and out the blue it stopped booting up as normal and instead booted to a very dull screen. Also, it will only power up if it's connected to my charger or to a PC. As soon as I unplug it it turns off.
I then turned it off and held down Vol down - home -power button then turned the charger on at the wall. It boots to a dark unreadable screen so I pressed the Vol up and get the screen in the picture. I had to turn the flash off, you can just about make out the split screen blue at the bottom it has lots of unreadable writing and in the top black with 2 blue boxes with blue arrows in it saying "Download".
I then tried Odin and a few roms to flash it but they all fail. Is this dead or is there a way to unbrick it ?
I have tried to upload a picture or link but XDA isn't letting me

Thanks for the FW, it flashed fine with the fw you sent but the phone is still not working. This time though the light on the front in constantly on. The screen is really dull and it's showing 2 Samsung Edge logos side by side at the top half of the phone screen (dark blue) and light blue at the bottom with very small writing. These keep going on and off every 2 - 3 seconds. I'm beginning to think it's knackered for good.

The screen is really dull and it's in some kind of phase on off on off like light blue half way down and dark blue at the top. This time it stays on without the power lead[/QUOTE]
Is the phone rebooting on the "powered by android screen"?
When you boot to download mode or recovery mode is the screen okay?
It won't boot to download mode without the charger in and the screen remains really dark. If I hold the vol down , home and power and then plug a charger into the phone (tricky job ) I get this really dark half light blue half dark blue screen with writing and 2 warning triangles like a spilt screen but its night impossible to read it its that dark.
then if I press the vol up it goes to download mode but it wont do this without the charger plugged in while holding all the buttons in.
Has anyone else had this really dark screen problem were you cant make out the writing it's that dark ?.
can anyone help me please , thankyou

Can anyone help please ?

It's the famous Android Blue Screen of Death no user really ever wants to see.
You may consider to boot into Android Recovery and perform a Factory Reset.

7t pro no display, but flashes colors like when checking for dead pixels

Hey guys, I've searched all over but cant find info on this issue. I was typing in whatsapp and the entire screen went white, black , red, green, purple.. on repeat as if the dead pixel check was being run.
the phone wont display anything. I tried hard reset, and I wont even see the android logo on boot up, but it does power on as I can feel the vibration when I slide the button from silent to vibrate.
if there was nothing at all i'd say it was the screen, but why flashing colors? is it some sort of diagnostic error code?
