Since yesterday, my mda compact III turns the screen (and backlight) off when I connect the usb cable or the charger with power on them. As soon as I take the charger out, the screen turns on again. Also, after some minutes of leaving the cable connected, the screen and backlight turn on again, but as soon as I press a button or touch the screen, they turn off again.
The device stays on, because when you want to explore it through the windows explorer, you get to see all the files with no problem.
This is very annoying, as I have the device connected to my computer when I'm in the office.
What went wrong here? I haven't installed any programs yesterday, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I had this the other week, a hard reset sorted it out
Thanks for the reply, I did a hard reset and the problem was gone. Let's hope it stays that way.
Same problem after installing SPB pocket plus. Uncheck "Buttons" in the Options of pocket plus.
Same here. In just realized that in this case the settings for backlight changed and set to "zero". (You can turn it on again). Happend to me when I do a soft reset with cable connected.

I noticed the same thing with the Orbit. Sorted easy from the baclkight menu. Somehow maybe SBP Plus changed the setting maybe something else, but just re-ajust your slider "On external power:"
hi
i was upgrading my universal, following instructions from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Helmi
after upgrading, on my computer i received an error saying the upgrade was unsuccessful and now my universal is dead
i tried hard resetting, i tried putting it into bootloader mode...
there is nothing on the screen
what should i do?
have you ever entered BL before? most new users would not realise their in BL as it doesn't have any backlight. look closely
yes, i have, it isnt working at all, there is nothing on the screen
when i try to flash the device the pc says error 101 connection error
does your charge light appears when connected to AC power?
nope, no charge light
its sad just about 3 hours ago my device was working perfectly
here's what you do:
start activesync on your computer.
Go to connection settings and deselect allow usb connections.
connect your uni to your computer and push the backlight + on/off button and hold these. Then press the reset with your pen, still holding the backlight and on/off.
The screen should say something about serial or usb.
The backlight will not be lighted so it's hard to read.
If the screen doesn't say anything, unplug and plug in the usb connecter one more time.
Does your red charge led lit when you put it on the wallcharger ?
i tried that, many many times, screen still remains blank
nope, no red light when i plug it into the wall
this is bad, its not responding to anything
When plugged, does it give you a red blink (Charge light) when you Soft Reset?
yes!
yes, the first sign of life, when pluged in via usb to the pc, when i soft reset i get a red blink
any ideas?
Try holding down Light + power for at least 5sec. and while still pressing, do a soft reset.
If you dont go to BootLoader then try to increase the Hold down Light + Power some more.
And BTW. dont get stressed, keep cool.
Youl just **** it even more up if you get stressed, Ok
k, i just tried that, everytime i let go fo the soft reset button the pc says the usb device is not recognized, but still nothing on the screen
lol yeah ur right
thanks for the help
NP. now run the original upgrade for your device...your device is in boot loader right?
nope no bootloader, the screen is completely blank

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look closely, it wont have backlight on, so look really closely.
Remove the SD card and Sim, and just keep trying different time intervals with the "holding down Light + power for at least 5sec. and while still pressing, do a soft reset."
And if you had low battery when you started the upgrade, the use your Wall charger, not USB charger...and let it stay in for 1/2 hour before proceding.
Keep us updated
i removed the sim and sd, and have tried many different intervals, i charged the device all night last night with teh wall charger, still no luck
Hmmmmm, this is a bit strange.
The exact same thing happend to me some 5 days ago.
I managed to get it back with this trick.
Try Soft Reset between every try....just hang in there suddently it wil come to life
Do a ATX-reset/Destat.
Remove charger, battery etc and push in on/off button for 30sec twice. Then push down as many keyboard buttons as you can for a little while too. This way you "drain" it and everything should be reset. Try again.
Works especially well on computers that don't wanna POST. Same thing with cellphones, TV's, remotes etc.
ATX-Reset/Destat. Remember that one. Can solve loads of glitches.
How do I know?
Don't ask I work with these kind of issues every day.
i just tried the atx reset destat idea, it didnt boot it up
ive tried many different intervals now, ive spent hours trying to get this to work
bosjo were u connected to the pc while trying to get it into bootloader?
Hey guys
a friend of mine tried to charge his TD from his PS3's USB port. Sadly, this has ment that the screen will now not work at all - completley dead. The phone however, does appear to be working properly but there is no way to confirm this (i.e. it will vibrate etc and make various sounds). It also doesn't seem to respond when plugged in to a PC's USB port.
I've tried a hard reset but this doesn't seem to do anything....
Any ideas?
I charge it off the PS3 all the time; it's only a standard-power USB port so it's not the problem, it's your phone.
Try the following:
- Remove the battery and drain residual power by holding the power button for a few seconds. Leave for a few minutes.
- Plug in to an AC power source, wait 30 seconds, and try turning it on.
- Try going into bootloader (hold vol. down on boot). If you get there, reflash a stock ROM (including radio) and try again.
- Do you feel the vibration on power up? If not, the screen is not the problem.
- If it is the screen, wait until you know it is turned on, then put light pressure in various places on and around the screen. If it flickers at any point, it's a hardware problem.
- If you really can't get anything done, you'll have to take it to a repair shop and get a diagnosis or call HTC / your provider / your insurer.
All the best
Ive been trying to get an Wireless Xbox 360 controller working on my GNex. If i plug in the wireless receiver it stays off unless i hold the sync, but turns off after a few seconds. One time i rebooted with it plugged in and i was able to navigate the home screen for a bit then it died. I tried plugging it into a powered USB Hub and it worked great and I was able to play several levels of Dead Trigger with no issues.
It seems like the usb port isn't putting out enough power for this.
HDMI over MHL also flickers and cuts out frequently, is this also do to some weird power fluctuation? I always turn off LTE before i use MHL as i read that that interfere but that doesn't fix it.
Anyone know about these two problems? Are they related as i suspect? Is my device just defective?
Hi all.
I've looked on xda and the Internet for the last few weeks but haven't been able to find anything to help.
About six weeks ago the problems started I think after an update to the o/'s.
To turn the tablet on I have to hold the power button on then the battery symbol is shown if at this point I push the home button then the battery symbol shows its charging even though it's not got ant USB plugged in. Then I have to hold the poem button again to turn it off then holding the power button in for a 3rd time the tablet boots up into android and I'm able to use it. When the tablet is on with nothing plugged into the USB port if I push the home button the tablet beeps and then shows the charge symbol. Push the home button again and it removes the charge symbol.
When a cable is plugged in charging then I get a red cross over the battery symbol when I push the home button. Push the home button again and the red cross disappears.
The only info I can find says change the internal USB ribbon and/or the battery. Which I've done both and still the same.
I was thinking of reinstalling the original rom but I cannot get it to fire up in the correct mode as it won't recognise the volume button on start up.
Any help would be great. Thanks
USB port may be faulty or loose I reckon
