hii i have an old BA whose screen is gone...lost my stylus..and even the battery is dead. i live in Kolkata in India..Can Any of you guys help me on this issue...i got to make it run.
screen is gone?
what do you mean?
is it busted/cracked?
white screen?
bootloader screen? "e.g Serial/USB etc."
tri-color screen?
what exactly do you have at the moment?
(items that are necessary to check if it can be revived)
pc? (given that you posted this)
working battery?
battery charger?
usb cable/cradle?
i know what you think... i've produced more questions rather than answer.
but i think your post isnt getting any point.
if you can provide more descriptive words, we can help you. (as much)
SilverSamurai is right, please provide more detailed explaination
if you have faulty batery you may not be able to turn on your device and the red flash light will be turned on
hii
hii samurai...my ba has a swollen battery... i think ill have to buy a new one....and i have a screen where i think my touch screen is ok....but the lcd is gone....
you need to buy these things in order for you to make it or test it if it works
1. battery
2. usb cable (cradle)
you need these two to check if your unit is still operational and i know there's something in the forum how to interface with your BA remotely without the LCD.
3. LCD *** you need to buy a replacement for this. it's the most important part of your BA.
BAAAAA
i know samurai...the problem is the BA is very old now and i dont find some good mechanics here in my city...and all the guys here say that the replacements heve to be bought from china...i stay in india.....it seems illogical...hehe...thinking abt it man
hmm...
then, it's sorry to say that without those two
1. battery and
2. usb cable/charger
you cant deteremine if your unit is still working
or is it turning on...
and without the
3. LCD
you cant use it or determine if it has an OS installed,
and will never know where to start fixing...
until you got those requirement i said above, it will be NO GO for that unit.

Hello Tech GURUS,
I returned from a long tour (I kept my XDA EXEC at home) & found that my XDA EXEC has got a problem of WHITE SCREEN!! Nothing is Displayed!!
May be brother's childrens or anyone of my friend accidentally did it in my absence(Sorry I'm NOT Sure). May be they pivoted (Turned) the screen in a WRONG DIRECTION!
That doesn't matter WHO DID IT, But the problem screwed my head & I started to trace the problem.
Symptoms:
1) Only WHITE SCREEN(with LCD Backlight), Nothing Else.
2) Charges perfectly through USB & also from Charger.
3) When I connects it to ACTIVE SYNC, it Syncs fine & I can able to explore the files/folders. Copy from & to the handset memory is also works fine.
4) Tried to enter into BOOTLOADER Mode(by pressing Light+Power+Reset), there also got a BLANK SCREEN (NO LCD Backlight).
5) TOUCH SCREEN detects TAPs & make sounds (Tick Tick), That indicates Touch Screen Working fine.
6) Qwerty KeyBoard Works fine. I don't know at what extent, since I can't see nothing on screen. But when I press a key on QWERTY Kbrd, it sounds Tick.
7) Transfered(Beamed) a CONTACT from my another XDA IIi & found Its accepted the beamed data.
8) Volume Up/Down make sounds (Tick, Tick...).
What I Did:
1) Removed the Battery & re-inserted & tried to BOOT it. NO result, just a WHITE SCREEN.
2) Purposely Tried to Rotate the Screen in Wrong Direction to test the loose contacts of co-axial cable.
3) Lastly Dis-Assembled the whole handset (Removed all parts 100%) & Re-Assembled it. But the Problem remains SAME.
4) Dis-Assembled again & this time I tested the LCD Co-Axial Cable's connectivity from MainBoard side connector to LCD Side Connector. There are 2 Cables which connects to LCD. One is 30 Cores Cable & Second one is 40 Cores Cable.
I Successfully tested 30 Cores Cable(Actually it used only 28cores cable, remaining 2 points at connector are DUMMY) & Second 40 Cores Cable I'm UNABLE to Test Since I lost my patience while connecting my Testing Meter to Hair Line sized cores & in just an 10mm connector got 40 cores!!!
5) Observed all cores which passes through SCREEN ROTATOR BASE Hinges & found there is NO physical Damage or CORE CUT.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM?
IS IT A HARDWARE BASED PROBLEM? OR SOFTWARE BASED?
IS IT A PROBLEM WITH DISPLAY CHIP(IC) ON MAINBOARD?
JUST CONFUSED & SEEKING HELP FROM TECH GURUS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

This seems to be a hardware problem. Check connectors in the display housing first. This unit is quite easy to disassemble.
Before you start, you should have a look in the universal SERVICE MANUAL to check out how it gets torn apart .
If all connectors to the display are right in place, but your display still shows nothing ...open the universal body too.
Folow the steps in the manual

White Screen
Hello, this is my first post. May I first just say how great I think this site is, the guides on here really are useful to beginners.
With regard to the white screen, not sure if this helps, but during dismantling of my various PDAs, I managed to connect an LCD ribbon incorrectly, I kind of forced it in & folded one contact over, resulting in white screen. Disconnected, straightened & refit. Hey presto, works like a charm. Hope this helps.
I had the issue, had to buy a new flat cable
It is rare to actually see the damage to the cable, because the damage is inside the insulation....
Best regards!
On the topic...
Hello!
I have a similar issue with my Orange SPVm5000, except that mine will work for up to a minute after a hard reset before going to a white screen.
If I hard reset pressing the left+right+reset keys, the device shows the boot screen and sometimes ever goies into the initial setup but then all of a sudden it goes white. I've opened up the screen and verified and reconected all connections but still the problem persists. Also I've noticed that its not any action I make that causes it; more like a heat/timing issue. Per advice above, I will check the connections in the body but does anyone have any other ideas?!?
Thanks!
Greg.
I have a similar problem. The story;
I purchased an orange branded M5000 on flebay described as second hand in fantastic condition blaa blaa.
When the phone eventualy turned up it had no manual, the outer sleeve of the box was missing and the wrong usb cable was supplyed (one of those larger usb plugs you usualy get for printers.
I have shedlooads of cables and rely wasn't bothered about any of these problems at the time and went about charging the phone (it was totaly flat)
When fully charged I stuck my sim in and poweded her up the phone works fine in portrate and landscape view but as you rotate the screen so it is inline with the keyboard the screen fades to white about half way.
I contacted the seller who basicly told me the phone is second hand so sold as seen!?!?!?
I have flashed various roms on it to see if it was a software fault but nothing.
I think this phone had been in storage as its battery was totaly flat and incorrect accessories suggest the seller didn't check it before shipping. So I believe there is a problem with this phone that occurs when stored.
Sorry for the long post
Have you flashed any rom or just had this problem ...
my conclusions:
1. If you have flashed a new rom to your universal, try to reflash the original rom, it works for many users.
2. If you havent flashed any rom, maybe its a hardware problem.
2.1 If you just used it in a bad way, (ie: rotate screen in wrong way), dissamble it..
2.2 If you have let it on a heat, weat, etc.. place.. maybe the mainboard got a cut-circuit.
Saludos
I tryed a couple of popular WM6 roms (I forget whitch ones) and returned to the genuine Orange WM5 rom. So I doubt its a software fault.
As far was extreme conditions go the phone was well packaged when posted I will gove that to the seller SO unless the eposure happened before shipping I don't think thats to blame ether.
I think the wire in the swivle joint is failing and will continue to get worse as the joint is exercised.
Try to clear it up..

Sounds like the image could not be loaded completely.
The framebuffer is initialized correctly after cold boot, but afterwords booting into wince fails.
So maybe it's pure software issue (flash content is corupt -> image is broken).
Other possibility: Some region of your flash is damaged (more hardware related).

Looks to me like a typical cable issue. Maybe someone twisted the screen the wrong way!
So this is what i guess at least.

99 % of these white screen faults is a typical cable issue. And you don't have to twist your screen wrong way to have this problem, also.... just twist it too often First you have to see if the device is working, apart the screen.... call the number of your phone see if it is just screen related problem. Broken display cable will leave your device oprational, you just don't see the image.
I know it is "less painfull" for people to think it is a software problem.... (The "it would not happen to me" syndrome ) but sometimes things just brake, and moving parts are most risky...
The fact you don't see the damage is of no importance due to the size and nature of the damage. Don't expect to see broken wires in the cable. And even if you check the cable by you instrument, somethimes it will show you it's ok, but in some positions it will loose contact.
Try a different cable... that way you'll be sure.
Best regards, and all the luck!
"Looks to me like a typical cable issue. Maybe someone twisted the screen the wrong way!"
I agree and luckily, finally paypal do as well.
It is being boxed up to a red faced seller as we speak.
A happy ending for me (speaking to soon?)
i hav the same problem as u "HELLCRUSHER" and i flashed also but was not able to cure
still hav this white screen ..
Found this link for some where selling the screen cable assmebly.

Hope this is of use.
hey all i am currently having a problem with me htc s621.
when my phone is on it randomly turns to a white screen after a 2 day period or so. and after a while of turning off phone/taking out battery/taking out sim card and doing this a lot it goes back to normal. im getting pretty mad and was wondering if i need to get my phone replaced or what.
any advice is helpfull. and the phone is not updated to 6.1 or anything like that. btw it all started to happen after i dropped my phone one time. i am not sure if that helps or not.
thanks in advance

The phone may be damaged. Is it a stock phone or has it be flashed with a rom?
it is purely stock no upgrades at all. today it did something new, it was white then 20 min later wen back to normal without me turning it off or anything. should i bring it in into warintee or anything i can do to help it?
I have seen simular situations before. It is possible that when you dropped it, the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the board became dislodged and is only making a partial connection. Or the LCD is just plain broken and needs to be replaced. You can get a new LCD on ebay for around $30 USD and do it yourself or take it to a repair shop and have then look at it for you.
i believe i will take it into the store tommorow. get a professional statement and opinion to see what i should do. thanks alot guys

I recall reading some time back concering the cause of the white screen had something to do with the backlight time, try making some adjustments with the backlight. Also do a serious search for that old thread dealing with this problem..............!
You would probably need a new screen and the best option would be to replace it yourself because you could find a cheap one off ebay and then just youtube and you could find on how to install the new screen.
hi all gurus,
my artemis recently got a white screen of death..
symptom
- the whole screen slowly becomes white
- will happens especially in hot (outdoor, noon time, or when loading big programs)
- the phone itself is noticeable hotter than normal when white screen happens...
- need to unplug the battery in order to restart.. soft-reset wont work when screen goes white..
- at early stage, still can connect to pc and flash new ROM, but now, cannot connect to pc already (pc just wont recognize it)
- the screen is seems to be shaking left to right all the time (a noticeable extra 5 pixels appears on the left most border of the screen, and the goes disappear, repeatingly)
- have already replaced a stable and clean ROM at the stage were the ppc still can connect to pc (i use the ROM before for few months, no problem)
- have try to switch on with a new battery, problem remains..
- battery drains quickly...
does anyone face this kind of problem before? it is hardware problem right? i search on the time, some says is the CPU need resoldering, some says need to replace the LCD ribbons... but the unfortunately things is, no pda repair expert near by area...
any feedback is apperciated. Sorry if my english grammer is not so good.
thanks.
i have the same problem...
i have bought a new battery and it still happens.
I now only get the following on boot:
IPL: 3.04.0001
SPL:1.11.0000
GSM: 03.08.90
I don't get the fourth one and it no longer loads - does this mean that the os is fluffed..?
Had the same problem, hard reset solved it

Hi...
I had the same prob. as in first post here...with my aretemis.Tried to fix it (after i ve read sh... load of threads) by heating up board and CPU (I was pissed so I just wanted to destroy it) and I managed to do so.
Now I get only red led when it is con.to PC.
After that I found post of some guy from ROMANIA who claims that he managed to fix it by one of these:
1. reheating CPU
2. changing CPY clock crystal
3.(I can't recall third thing, but it was hardware too)
After that I went on eBay, got a better one and now I'm happy with my new artemis,plus I have spare screen battery etc..in case I damage it somehow...
Ah yes...before I tried to f...(fix) it, I found that my warranty is expired for 1 month....so you can imagine why i lost my patience.
i know this will bring you down,sorry,but I had the same symptoms...
now I'm changing custom roms to see which one fits me, and still i get amazed with this beautiful phone....
cheers,
Z
Looks like a general problem with no fixes/solutions to be found anywhere.
My solution:
Get rid of this HTC sh!t and roll back to Motorola...
Found a solution!
Still being under manufacturers warranty, I took it to the repairs agents, they replaced the motherboard and voila!
Never blame a WSOD on software...
Hi,
Hope someone can help me here.
Problem: Typical wobbling charging port and eventually wouldn't charge at all. 1 week out of warranty with Asus so they refused to help.
What I have done: I bought an ME571K SUB_BD./AS board from asusparts.eu and managed to fit it. The charging now works perfectly.
Unfortunately as stated on their site, " this part may have to be calibrated to work with your unit." . So when I load the Nexus now it boots but there is zero response from the screen. I have contacted Asus but the call centre said he didn't think it needed calibration but he doesn't know as he doesn't have access to any information. To send it to Asus is £50 (which is fine if that sorted it) but he couldn't tell me what the charge for anything was or what that £50 is for other than booking it in. So they could charge me £150... or whatever they like.
I haven't rooted it or done anything else but I can get into the FastBoot menu and tried factory resetting to see if this did something. It didn't.
I cannot find any information or guides on calibrating the screen from the position I am in. All of the tools I have seen are for minor calibration and not for the screen not working at all.
Quite gutted as the tablet is great and if I can get this sorted it will last me for a good while.
Really hope someone can help and many thanks in advance.

Did you reflash your rom after replacing the board? If not, the new board might have no driving firmware. Try the multi-touch fix thread or this one. AFAIK, those are extracted from stock images, and they do calibrate the whole touchscreen. BTW, what did you do with the old one?
Hello comunity
I bought one nexus 2013 wifi... (Second hand) and I am planning to mount it in my car...
well ... i just started preparing the software ...rooting, unlock bootloader and so on ...
then accidently I dropped it on the floor :/
After this the screen is black. It is OK - it is not brocken but is not working at all...
The computer recognizes the Nexus (I can see it from Device menagment in my computer).
Then I opened the Nexus..
Reconnected the battery... and trying to hold the power button for 60 sec...
again nothing worked and the screen is still dead.
Is it possible this to be a problem?
https://goo.gl/photos/k4EYBvWvQynab3v16
seem it is not OK... (There is a black line on the cable ... may be it is a missing part >)
If i buy one of this cables and change it may be the problem would be fixed??
Tnx and Happy new year

Yes, that part has been stripped. Can't tell if that causes the problem, but I'm almost certain it was not caused by the drop since that part was locked inside the connector, unless it had already fallen out when you opened the thing. Where you ripped it when removing, you might want to look inside the connector to make sure the loose bit doesn't remain in there as it could short. I take it you're not in the US. Otherwise, I could mail you an extra cable I have. Good luck with your repair.
Disconnecting the cable caused your issue for sure, be careful before you tinker with devices.
This cable is OK unless you damaged it during disassembly. The most likely failure is the screen. Have a look at it with a lamp at an angle to check for any cracks.
Did you earlier manage to install TWRP? If so boot to recovery and check with ADB file system access.
Well..
Tnx to all of you.
The tablet is working again.
The problem was this cable.
I ordered a new one.
I really couldnt undartand how just one drop can be the reason for damaging the cable.
