Some Problem in Display!?

I had repaired my hinge once, afterthat, I installed the new i-mate ROM. The display become strange since then... It is the most strange when displaying pictures. It looks like the entire picture has been digitally modified by color blur?! (I'm not sure how to discribe it) It just like a lot of areas is rendered by the same color (the source picture has far more complicated details, but it is all been cut) And it is not a 3rd party software problem...
I assure my-self that this is not the ROM problem, I installed the old O2 ROM, and the problem still exist....
So can u guys please give me some advices?
Shall I send it back to repair? Could a hinge repair done that damage?

Check the connectors have not come loose first, then check the cable in the hinge. What did you do to repair the hinge?
Richard

I did not repair the hinge by my-self. I send it to Lemel repair station. And I don't know how to check the hinge or the cable on my own...
What I want to know is: Is this a hardware problem or a software one...

The set of cables if broken, cannot be re soldered or repaired...u will have to go in for a new set of cables and that is quite dearer around 15-200 USD

That's a lot for a cable :shock: . I have repaired a jasjar that had sheared using an m5000's intact cable to map out a circuit plan of all the pins. I'll upload a diagram when I find it again.

UNIVERSAL : need a Coaxial Cable Pre-assy replacement

Hello
I am new on this forum, sorry if this type of question has alreday been answered.
I've got a UNIVERSAL/ SPV M500 and the Coaxial Cable (linking the screen and the keyboard) has been twisted and is damaged.
Where can I find/buy a spare part to replace it ? the reference number is 73H00233-01M (Coaxial Cable Pre-assembly) as indicated in the service manual.
Thank for your help.

Hey,
If you find it let me know, I need one two. Actually these are two cables the Coaxial (Display) and Coaxial (Functional). My screen goes white in landscape mode and I confirmed it's the cable by disassembling my machine. However was unable to find that cable Will let you know if I find it.

Me too.
I am getting odd touch screen errors and think it can only be the cable.
If anyone knows of a supplier, please post here.
Has anyone tried contacting HTC directly?

Give this site a look, http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/Universal.htm
I have been having the same problems as you guys. my uni have been getting "white screen of death" for about 6 months now.
I am going to take out the cable and try and fix it myself. (fingers crossed)
I will let you all know how it goes. I felt £60 plus vat and postage was a bit steep.

coax cable
Fixed it!!
I took apart my uni down to the last screw, and rebuilt it.
In the process I did find that i am missing an antenna in the back, it should have 3 but only has 2. oh well it works.
The 3rd antenna is for 3g and i am not on 3.
Anyway back to my uni.
The coax conectors where a little lose, so after a good clean in a solven cleaner and popped back in to the conector holder, after playing for 20 mins I found that they poped back out verry slightly, just enough to make the screen go white and not function.
So the solution is to make sure it does'nt come back out.
ok.
well I have as a tempery solution put a tiny bit of foam on top of the connecter and held it in place with a bit of tape.
If this works for longer than a month then i will solder the cable down.
Touch wood it seems to be working. I will try and get some photos done tonight

Good done man go ahaed, and plz try to post the photos.
Another question, my universal some times lost its external speaker sound, so i cannot hear the rings, when i press on the back of the device, exactly on the battery cover in the middle between the two dummy holes and the usb port, it works again. Do u think that this is due to the coaxial damage also, even i don'y have any problem in the screen??

I have disassembled my uni and checked for all connections, but there was no improvement. I can confirm that the disappearance of external speakers sound is not due to co-axial cable. The proof is that i extracted my main borad from my uni and implanted it in another one, i assumed that the problem will be rsolved, but the same problem still exists. Ok, now i can disassemble my uni for smallest piece, but any one advise me where is th connection part or the piece that causes that problem. Again a brief description of the problem:
when there is a coming call, i cannot here the ring or it is sevrely intermitent, also when i play any WMP file, i cannot here the sound, if I press firmly on the base or around the keyboard the sound comes again and may last for a few minutes or disappear after another press. So, there is a lose part in the main board i think that needs fixation, but which one????

Hi all
Now it takes me more than a month to upgrade my JASJAR due to a lot of problems I faced during this upgrading adventure… anyway, the last problem I still have is that after upgrading the screen goes crazy, I mean if you press on the screen the colours are mixed for few seconds and then its ok but at any time I touch the screen again the same happened so you can imagine what if I am going to dial a number or write a message …. So can anyone advice me what to do? …
The rom version is 1.13.82
Radio 1.04.02
Extrom 1.13.188
And I think the bootloader 1.00 and I don’t know why I feel that the bootloader is the reason ... I made a deep search but I couldn’t find problem like mine

Sitting next to my M5000 and all of a sudden the screen turned on but was white!
Following your lead I found that the first i.e. 'underneath' connector was not fully home. A little push and all is well.
Took the time to pack out the housing for the stylus to stop the little blighter escaping whilst in there.
Thank you for taking the time to post gingerchristopher.

O2 XDA IIs speaker help

Hi,
This is my first posting here so I hope it's in the right place etc.
I just received an O2 XDA IIs today, it appeard to be fine however I have a problem with the speaker.
I can play MP3's through the earphone socket absolutely fine, but not the speaker. This also affects the phone ringing. When I ring my phone from here there is no ring/volume.
I've checked the manual altered the profile to loud but I'm baffled and hope I havn't brought a faulty phone?
Appreciate any help Thanks

I am looking to purchase a replacement speaker as I am having the same problem. Any luck on your search???

It may be a bad connection or a software problem.
I remember one time I installed some wm6 software and lost all sounds on my BA, a hardreset fixed it.
If you got a bad connection or a bad speaker you basically need to disassemble your hole phone to get to it.

ebay is a graet place to start, as you can sometimes get lucky and find daed or alive ones, that have like cracked screens and such , which should mean they have good speakers.

Prophet speaker !

Hello there
Suddenly my prophets speaker at the back stopped working ! For no reason.. I found out that if i pressed a little at it it worked again but only while i pressed at it.. I took my prophet apart, because i thought it was a jamed connection, but it wasn't and now the speaker dosn't work at all..
So i would like if anyone could tell me where i can get spareparts for the prophet ? I come from denmark, so if its possible, i need them to ship internationally
Thanks !

Speaker repair
I had the exact same problem. It seems HTC was saving money on the glue for that batch in particular. I 'fixed' my speaker several monthes ago, and it's still working fine.
What I did was put a small piece of twist-tie, (or wire would work too I guess) in the shape of a half circle between the speaker and housing. This keeps the pressure on it, like you mentioned when you push it. When this stops working I may consider buying a new speaker, but it works just fine!

This seems to be a frequent problem, my speaker also just died yesterday, again for no reason. My solution was similar to Stuclint's, I put a bit of folded paper to keep the pressure on it. Sound quality is awful though, so I ordered a new one for £6 from ebay, but at least now I can hear it ringing

I bought a new speaker too...
... but mine is from IPMART. Costs around $4.00 US, but I only bought it to fill up my shipping weight. The prices are great, but shipping (to germany at least) costs a fortune! I also ordered a new housing ($19.95), but got the wrong one. It was a 818 housing instead of the 818pro I ordered. I'm still trying to get the right one, and was also waiting until then to use the new speaker. But like I say, the solution I'm using now works fine. No noticable distortion. My housing is toast though, try not to drop it on the SD card side.... I did and now have a huge opening all down the Camera, Volume, CommManager side.

I have the replacement speakers if anyone needs them. $4 for the speaker and $3 for the shipping.

can some one tell me is is it easy replace that eis just pull out from de conector?
`e facil de trocar? é so puxar e ele sai do conector ou tenho de ter algum cuidado?
abraço

It's quite easy to replace. You don't need to solder anything. There is a little white clip that fits into a connection on the mainboard. You can change a speaker in about 10 minutes.

thanks for the anwser my friend. I see the white clip conector that you talk about. Now i need too know that is just disconet? just pull out?. I ask that because a few mouth ago to change a display i damage the conector because i don´t know there are a grey secutity clip that we have to pull out.

If you live in Rome, there is a shop that sells the speakers and all spareparts along the road leading from stazione tusculano towards via appia.

It will just pull out (there is no clip). You still need to be careful, but it will come out.

Do you have made a ROM upgrade?

its your flexible.. the one who connect lcd to the motherboard of your hermes.. i had the very same problem 3 months ago. and i bought it the flexible on ebay for $50..

I had the same problem. If i push the ON/OFF button twicce, one for turn off the PDA and one to turn it on again, i can see the display OK. Orange has changed me the PDA.

Flex Cable Connector
It is the flex cable connector that goes bad. You can get a new flex cable as mentioned before on ebay (I've seen for $35)... or you can try the other fix mentioned on the link in the first reply: disassemble the phone, put a small peice of foam (similar to memory foam) over the flex cable connector, and reassemble the phone. This worked for me. It holds the connector in tighter and the screen whiteout quit. You will need a T-6 screw driver.
