XDA1 not lighting up anymore :S - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hey..i got a new cover for my XDA1 so i took it appart and changed the cover and all was going well...once the light of the screen went off but the light of the buttons was still on so i figured that there was nothing wrong with the light.i tapped lightly on its back and the light came back so i disassembled it again and fiddled around in it and then reassembled it again. the light worked perfectly. then after about two weeks the same thing happened. so i took it appart and did the same thing (which wasn't much) and put it back together but it did not work (did that a lot of times) i lost hope. i know that the light is lighting from the buttons but the screen is not lighting up. i am desperate :S what can i do?

u sure ur not holding the power button in too long as this turns the lights on and off if they are off hold the power button in for about 5 seconds while the device is on and they should pop back on again

hehe offcourse that was the first thing i thought of and did i know the power button does that and i wish that was the problem :S
please help me in this if possible
thanks

Can't power off... volume goes down by itself...

Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it

Excalibur (Dash) Stoped working?

Hey,
I was messing around with my Dash last night and I installed the HTC streaming media player and after that the phone was acting weird. Then I had the jogger set to be a JOGGER instead of the volume control. After I did both of them it started to act really weird. The player worked, I was watching one of my youtube videos and it started to act up. So I turned it off and it won't turn back on. I can't seam to get it to work now. I can't get the hard reset to work either. It chargers, but still won't come on. The charging light turns green when its at full charge.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

well try removing the battery and putting it back in... Then hold down the camera (sym) button to the right of the space bar for about 5 seconds and while still holding it down plug it into the usb and upload the official rom the phone came with... The link to the official rom could be found below in my signature... Then once you get the official rom going you can then upgrade to the 6.1 (Ricky's or Kavana's) or to the Rose Rom (NRG's)... if you would like to...
Hope this helps man.
I did that and got a red green blue and white screen. How do I upload the new rom?
Thanks again for the help!
Dootuz
When you are on the tri colour screen, on the computer click the original ROM file.exe and follow the steps.
Hope this helps
I got it! But but after all the install and everything it still won't power on . I think the power button may be broken. Because none of the codes that involve the power button work. I was on a ride and maybe something hit the dash and broke the button. It makes a rattling noise.
Thanks for the help though!
Is there another way to turn it on without the power button?
Come to think of it.... it wouldn't turn off until I installed HTC and it said would you like to reboot and I said yes and the power button didn't do anything... Then after it rebooted then then it was weird and the power button didn't work so I took the battery out... I think it might be a broken power button!
Yep I tested it.... I'm almost sure its the power button. But it keeps saying invailed or missing sim, but my sim is in?
Any ideas??
EDIT.... I got a new Dash haha

[Q] Screen wont turn on after it turns off. ATT Tilt 2

Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.

Nexus 5X splashed by sea water, backlight turns on but display blank

I was on a vacation on Bali, Indonesia. While I was taking photos of sea waves it got some splash. Since it had a casing, only front got wet so I wiped the front part. The phone was ok at that moment but after few hours I felt lag on touch screen. Then after a day the display went blank. But on a dark room I can see that the display backlight is on.
I tried pressing power button for 8-10 seconds. After doing this the phone vibrates for a second as if it's restarting. The backlight turns off for few seconds then turns on again as it does when a phone normally restarts. I also tried pressing volume down+ volume plus+power button. Similar thing happens.
I have some great vacation photos on the phone which I don't want to loose. I am hopeful as the display is not fully dead. Can anyone please help?
