Hi,
I upgraded to LVSW and all worked fine for 1 day. Next day, i got the Align Screen Message which prompts you to press the 5 points on screen.
Cant get passed this screen. Not sure if it is just bad luck that screen breaks same day as upgrade or as a result of upgrade.
Any ideas to get passed the screen align program?
Thanks

hard reset. if the problem persists, then you have a hardware problem and need to warrant repair/return.
I had the same, also with the LVSW (coincidence???). Had to bring it in for repair, new screen. Can't imagine it's the ROM.
Thanks for your help. Tried Hard Reset yesterday, but no difference. Going to send device back for screen to be repaired. I cant imagine that changing Rom could cause this but you never know.
Thanks again
Richard

HI All, have an intersting problem, was surfing the net via wireless when the unit locked up. Soft reset and now all I get is a white screen. The unit seems to hard reset with the startup sound that the unit makes when you first start it up out of the box, but the screen stays white.
Any Ideas? :roll:
mmm.... Hard Reset :twisted:
HI Xeon,
tried that and still comes up with white screen, but does all the correct things re sounds but all you can see is a totally white screen.
You could try leaving it with the battery removed overnight but it sounds like a hardware problem to me, could be the lcd has died or the connection has come adrift for some reason.
I suggest u Upgrade or reinstall the ROM , maybe something happened to one of the files that should not be modified , anyway , u won't lose anything , u already Hard.Rstd .........
i had the same problem before..i did an upgrade that fixed it. but still have a backup even if its a white screen..after i upgraded i had another problem with the Storage Folder missing..and the list goes on..dont wory you'll know what i mean when you get it..
It happened to me the second day I got my O2 XDA IIs. Hard reset didn't seem to do anything... The unit didn't response to a soft reset either... It was just frozen... I removed the battery, boxed it up and was ready to return it. The next day, just before I was about to drop it off, I was curious and did a reset and everything went back to normal... It never happen to me again... Don't know what happened :?
I have the same problem...
The phone shows white screen white it can recieve & make calls, activesync can recognize it.. But the screen still white !!
Any other suggestions for helping solve this problem..
Is this means that the LCD is dead ?? or the problem in its connectors or it's a software prob. ???
I have a Siemens SX66 which has worked great since I got it when it came out. Recently I cracked the screen so I replaced it with a new lcd including touch screen. The screen is a geniune HTC Sony screen. After putting it together again the software was reset. It asks to touch the screen to begin. Then, it goes straight to "align screen" and asks to tap the target at each location as it moves around to align the screen.
It seems to be stuck there because I have had it cycle through the same spots (original and 4 corner spots) over and over at least 20 times without going to the today screen yet.
I tried reflashing the software and after a successful flash it still does the same thing.
Can someone tell me what to do to make this thing work again?
Same thing here :0
Did you two guys solve your problems?
I have the same problem, I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !
Hey.. kan anybody help me?. My P3300 goes black several times a day?? i have flashed it back to its original ROM to check if that would help, but i didn´t.
The phone just goes black and i cant turn it on again without soft-resetting it. Sometimes the screen flicker and some stribes are showing across the screen before it turnes black??
I hope you can help me
Best regards Michael
i had the same problem, i send it to repair by t-mobile and they changed the lcd screen problem fixed
Seems to be a common problem, as I have exactly the same with my P3300. Send and email to the HTC customer support to ask if it could be a software issue (no reply yet) - but now that I read this post I guess I can send my device for repair right away...
I don't think the LCD is to blame for this issue. (why would the phone firmware "crash" - and unable to reboot ? )
@MicTh : those updates you've installed ? were they recent Mobile6 (B&B > 4.1, Vanilla 2.0,.. ?) from this board ?
I've got the same problem, T-Mobile replaced my handset twice (new IMEI) - reason "motherboard replaced" ???
I DO believe that USPL unlock is causing this problem now - too many MDA 3c's failing - while HTC 3000 / Orbits seem to run fine.
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM
No.. I run the original WM6 ROM, and I have also switched back to the one it came with, but i does not help
I'm getting this problem too... screen fades to black, and only way to re-start is to soft-reset. I have had two new motherboards in my original, and now HTC have replaced with a new unit, with factory WM6 and problem is the same. I was wondering if it was anything to do with software, as i do have a number of applications installed - but which one is to blame?
After I removed Spb Time, my P3300 works fine (for a week now)
pnyg
do I have sbp time? (is it "standard" or 3rd party s/w?) if I do, how do I remove it?
no, I've not got spb time, so its not that in my case....
I also experienced this problem when I installed Meschle 3.01 ROM. Cant remember if its vanilla or full version as I installed both.
I am now back to Original WM6 WWE from HTC. No problem at the moment.
first hang-up end with black scream

I've had at least 3 separate P3300s with this problem. I'm sure its a hardware issue, and I have finally persuaded my supplier to refund 75% of my purchase price, so I can buy something different. I am sure HTC must know this is a problem, but the uk repair centre seem unable to fix it, presumably as its a batch problem, and all the boards they have are faulty.
i have exactly the same problem with my Dopod M70 (Artemis300). Maybe it have some problem in the motherboard design which HTC should let us know
My orbit do the same, when it boot win everythink is working fine. Someone did say: When you apply pressure, it fade to black. I think it maybe have something with the housing design or battery.

I think i solve my own problem, after hours, i found out when we press in the back phone, near the display cable position, the screen become black and hang immediatetly. so i try to open back cover, remove cable and motherboard. Use alcohol to clean the contact display cable then put its together. Tighten motherboard, and wow, my Dopod M700 are back to life again, now how hard i press, everything stay fine. No strange behavitor for 5 days. GREAT!!!
Hope everyone think my experience useful

No it is easy(much easier than TyTN) to open Orbit/P3300, you have intructions in the wiki. First you check if you have right tools...

I find that if you apply pressure on the outside casing at approximately where the simcard would be it switches itself off....
Yes it's your post. I have same problem. My orbit is working fine all day, but it is on the desk, didn't touch it. I bought P3300 housing, so I will change it, maybe it fix a problem.
Hi everyone I've recently been given a O2 Orbit but when you turn on the phone a white screen comes on and coloured lines come on infront, I was just wondering if any of you fine people would know if it was the screen. Im new to this so any information would be greatfuly recieved.
Thanks for your time
is it the green/blue/red screen?
when in doubt, hard reset it. i think its the two soft keys being held and inserting the stylus into the reset hole
No it was ant the green/blue/red but have sorted it now just did a reinstall of the factory rom and its fine now thanks
I have a problem with my Artemis. I'll try to decribe the problem and if anyone can help me i will be thankful.
When is Power on it works few minutes than it freeze and screen desapears. After that I try to power but it doesnt work. It needs time to accept the Power comand and I don't know where problem is... (i thing that it's about temperature but i'm not sure)
I tryed to flash with later software and win mobile 5 but the same thing happens.
Any help?
Please specify which applications you have installed and eventually which ROM.
I strongly recommand you to flash your device with latest ROMs like Black and Blue one or others (see the Windows mobile 6 section of Artemis)...
A hard reset would solve your problem anyhow I suppose.
Are you overclocking your CPU with some software? like BatteryStatus for example?
Please let us know...
Gues i fixed the problem
It not was about ROM... I have tryed flashing with Black & Blue, Vanilla etc. but the problem was the same. When I put the Phone in the pocked it freezes. Meybe it was problem with cooling.
Anyway I used a tutorial how to upen the phone, i opened it, cleaned it (using spray for clean) and now it works fine i gues.
Thanks a lot...

I had the same problem with mine....
The phone is fecked take it back to the makers and get a replacement..
I had the exact same problem with my P3300. It's a malfunction in the Motherboard. I've called the dutch helpdesk and because a hard reset didn't do much good the PDA was picked up later that day to be sent to Eurotwice, the repair station in Belgium. I got my phone back 2 weeks later, I started it and it froze again! So I immediatly called HTC Netherlands and again, the P3300 was picked up by UPS that afternoon. The second time I wrote a letter to the repair station and sent it with my phone. In another topic on another website I read that some other phone with the same problem had been fixed by replacing the motherboard. I got my phone back today and it works great! It hasn't crashed today, and I have confidence it won't in the future. So my tip to you and anyone who experiences this problem: Call the HTC helpdesk in your country and ask them to sent your PDA to a repair station. It might take a while but they fix it well! By the way, you have 2 years full garantee so it didn't cost me anything! Great service from HTC!
Had the same problem.
Power was on, then de screen went black and stayed black even after pushing the right upper side button. Had about 4.90mb free storage memory on the phone and 200mb on my card left.
Soft reset didn't work but a hard reset did!
