My BA was droppped by my daugther yesterday into a bucket filled of water.
I immediately disambled it and use a hair blower to dry all the parts.
Aftre 1 hour of drying I assembled it back and it worked again (except ofcourse all the data was lost).
Just now the LCD does'nt lit, but I can still see the display. So I disassembled it again to reset the connectors inside but unfortunately it got worst. Now total no display.
I know the unit is still working because I hear the beep when it boots up (just without the display). The beep I hear is the same beep after a hard reset.
Is my LCD deffective? Is it worth to replace it? (Even my BA is more than 3 years in service) Or it is better to have a new one?
Need advise from the experts, thanks.

I feel jipped. Mine doesn't beep.
Now, I'm not what I would consider an expert, but my opinion is:
If you still want an angel, get a new/used one.
From my corner of the world, LCD's run about 2/3's of the price of used angels are going for on ebay.
If I was going to replace mine with another of the same, I'd buy a working SX66, pull the camera from the old one, and use the old one for parts.

This is my third MDA3 and I have quality problems with all of them. The first had the same problem. After a few weeks of fine working, yesterday I heard the the same nerving beep tone again. You can hear it up to 50 cm away from the device. It is a very high tone beep. I think it is an cheap electronical component on the board for the display, like a capacitor or a coil. Has anybody the same problem and may be a solution for that? Or I have to change this model to fourth one?
I think I go back to MDA2, her is the quality much better. How is it with the small one, the MDA compact?
You have to exchange the Screen to get rid of the sound.
I just keep develvering mine to service, evantually ill get a working one, and i get a new 1 year warranty on the screen each time the change it.
US$200. I dropped it and it got a short in the keyboard cable, so I had to disable the menu/email/phone key because they triggered intermittently. After upgrading to WM2005, everything was ridiculously slow with any sound at all, and I'm tired of having it on vibrate only. The LCD is in perfect condition (I've had a heavy protector on it since day 1), and other than the short in the keyboard ribbon and the mark from the drop, the unit is in good shape. I dont feel like putting any more time into it. Use it for spare parts/LCD replacement, or spend some time replacing the ribbon.

Hey guys!
I'm experiencing a very strange and annoying issue with my BA, and I was wondering if I could get some input from you.
So, here goes:
The touchscreen (not LCD) in my unit was broken, and thus I decided to fix it. I purchased a new one off eBay a few weeks ago, and just yesteday I proceeded to install it. To my surprise, something seems to have gone wrong.
I power up the unit, make my way into "Allign screen", and then the last "cross" that I have to touch rarely clicks in. On the other hand, when it does get detected, it simply restarts the alligning process.
What I've tried so far:
- allign right after installation -> no luck
- hard reset (on WM2k5_v4_R2.1) -> no luck again
- opened up the unit again, repositioned the screen -> nothing
- upgraded to Logout_WM2K5_5.4.03_HN -> still nothing
Right now I'm out of ideas, and I was hoping somebody here has some. Do you think the new touchscreen might be flawed ? I'm already discussing this issue with the seller.
Thanks for reading
New touchscreen or a refurb? Same type? (toppolly / sony) Sounds like it's been stripped from an old unit to me as it's not recognising the taps in the right places - can you see somehting like a liquid spill anywhere on the panel? This is what it looks like when the overlay touches the glass.

That was in fact my auction. Looked like brand spanking new to me, not one single stylus mark, and also had the protective sheet on. Of course, I might be wrong
Also, no liquid spill visible anywhere.

I bought from him also and am yet to fit - I got the completley wrong module :-(
Richard
What do you mean wrong module ? The "tip" of the flex cable ? Mine seems to match with what was already there ...
Hey NSD!
I purchased the exact same module for my Himalaya device, after the touchscreen being cracked.
My father, who is an electronic engineer, soldered the flat wire from the touchscreen onto the rear side of the LCD with normal copper wires. Unfortunately I have the exact same problem a you!
After attaching the entire LCD (+touchscreen) onto the mainboard, and supplying power from the battery, I'm not able to go past the Align Screen section!!!
The touchscreen is from the manufacture 'Asian Media' (I think so...).
It can't be a coincidence, that both of our touchscreens don't respond to tapping!!!
Anybody been able to get this problem fixed??
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Kind Regards,
Tony Schattat
I never replaced the touchscreen of my BA but I have replaced the screen of my ex ipaq 6315 once.
And one thing that I know is that sometimes the screen align process is different from the normal, I mean, it keeps repeating and repeating again many times....until the unit finally passes the align step and finishes the configuration. Actually I´ve "aligned" the screen more than 30 x (when I replaced the screen).
It happened just once and then I had a completely normal unit.
I have P3300 with meschle's 4.02 Vanilla ROM. One One, Quicken, TomTom and Stowaway drivers. 8GB Sandisk SDHC. Nothing else. I have A LOT of e-mails and contacts and music.
It has been working pretty good for me, but lately the Artemis hangs WAY too often. I tried to see any pattern, but it seams that it does it totally random. Sometimes it just hangs on the screen, sometimes the screen goes off. Sometimes the soft reset works, sometimes I have to remove the battery and restarts. I think that I have tried everything, but cannot find a problem. I made sure that the card, SIM and battery are all seated and cleaned contacts.
I used to use Battery Status 0.05 and ran at 247, but lately I removed it (and fresh installed ROM) and still hangs. It is my primary phone, so I need to fix it, because it hangs often on my belt and I have no idea that the phone is not working. Help!!!
Even if you clean the battery contact & other visible contacts, there are some wires inside, which need to be cleaned. It may happen if the contacts inside the phone is not cleaned. You can give it to repair shop and clean all contacts inside the phone with electronic device cleaning solution. Internal battery contact, display to mainboard contact is most critical contacts need to be clean.

Hmmmm, I guess you are right. It is just the cost I am wondering. I am not even sure if there is a place who would take it apart. I am thinking maybe using air to blow it? I can take it apart and blow it with clean air. Gosh, scary idea if something flies away. ;-)
If it is a dirty or corroded contact problem you should be able to generate the fault at will by shaking tapping or rattling your phone. Has it been dropped or do you work in a dusty or corrosive environment?

i never dropped it, but i work in construction, so i guess it is a little dusty. i tried to rattle it or shake it, but it seems solid. I just opened it, blew it with air and so far running without hitch. I will write the results.

OK, after about a day, it only restarted once (before it used to ten times or so) so it helped. I bought a dust spray for electronics (just clean air) and I will try it maybe again. It seems so far that it is the case.

OK, I blew the air all over it and if there was something it has been gone. It still hangs sometimes. Now about 2-3 times a day. I since re-installed the 4.02 ROM but it still hangs once in a while. The bad thing is that it usually does that in the pocket, so I have no idea that the phone is not working. Any suggestions?
i had the very same problem.. hang on pocket, on the midlle of a call..all random.
tryed to update rom after rom and no go.
Sent it to HTC , they exchanged the board and now it runs fine for weeks.
My guess is that it started to fail after charging the battery with a motorola charger (mini usb 5v type)
but is just a guess

How much did they charge for the motherboard replacement? Isn't it cheaper just to buy another one (since it is an older model I saw them around $300). I thought about getting Kaiser instead. Got one, but to my surprise, it is actually slower than the Artemis (even with HTC ROM or cooked ROMs). Plus it's camera really sucks.
Let me know how much you paid.

Hey guys,
I think I destroyed my HTC One X. I just bought it a month ago from Ebay, and it worked flawless. At some point the display just turn off. I restarted the phone, heard the sound when it starts and even the softkeys worked. But the Display was still off. After after a few restarts the display turned on for a minute, just to freeze after that and turned off again. The phone was still on though.
However I've read a bit around and found out that it could be a cpu heat problem, which could be true because my phone was way too warm sometimes. So I removed the display and put a tiny little bit thermal compound on the cpu. Somehow I managed to rip off the connection cable to the display ... also I managed to rip off the little black cable near the soft keys. The soft keys still work though.
When I start the phone the starting sound comes, the softkeys blink when I restart the phone, you hear the volume buttons etc. So it seems the phone is fully working. Just the display or touchscreen is damaged.
Some pictures:

So, what can I do?
Do you think I could just send it to this site http://www.directfix.com/product/REP-0063.html and let them repair it? Or did I destroyed my phone too much already?
Thanks in advance.
Well,the top cable is ripped off,you can't do anything at this point.The bottom one just seems out of slot as far as i can tell from the pics.
Basicaly you can send it to the repair shop,but i don't think that you can only change the cables,don't really know what to say...Could cost you some to repair it.
I don't want to only change the cables. I want to use this full repair service:
"HTC One X Complete Screen Replacement Service (Includes LCD & Digitizer)".
So they change the cables and put on a new LCD & Digitizer as far I understand.
But do you guys think they will put back the other cable back in slot too?
Please just answer, do you guys think they can repair it if they put on a new screen & digitalizer?
I don't see why not,you can also contact them and explain them the situation.Those cables are quite easy to put back with the proper tools so you don't have to worry about it.
