Hi all,
my BA and me spent 5 nice years together, during that period I have changed 3 screens and had no other problems but recently BA suprised me (just few months after the last screen replacement) with weird problem.
Screen work, digitizer work but funny, it usually miss the place where I touch the screen 5 around 5 mm to the right, then I draw a note for eg and moving right line I draw lags after the stylus, after I start to draw to the left everything is fine. Up and down is fine too. If I align everything is fine for a some time but when I try it later its messed up again.
I tought that its software problem but after the hard reset nothing changed.
Is this problem familiar to anyone? Is it a time to change a screen again?
I dont believe that its worth, BA is rather old phone but I have previous screen with good digitizer and if you say that I should try to change a digitizer I ll try it (any manual for that? I saw just 4 contacts but covered with plastic and digitizer seems to be glued to the screen)...
Any ideas before I burry my beloved BA
thanks, best regards to BA community and special greetz to Chef Tony
ps
used to try to disassemble it, checked the cables - everything is fine (as long as I can see), they are connected nicely, beside that phone work fine, only problem is with the digitizer

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.
My Hermes 8525 display has gone fully white.. I cant see or do anything on it.. Anyone got any idea why this is so ??
8525,

try searching...
typed in " white screen hermes" and came up with a heap of links... heres 1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2254487
Did the display fade to white? Or did you turn your screen back on and find it was all white?
There's a known problem for HTC Hermes with the D-pas causing white screen, and a little mod to fix it by putting something behind the D-Pad itself such as a small very thin piece of foam. Obviously this requires taking your mobile apart.
If you flashed and then got a white screen I'd try getting into your bootloader and take it from there....

Hi,
had the same problem. I took the battery out (read this in one post somewhere here) and then everything went ok. I also saw the post about the dpad, but was not nessesary. Although I think I was just lucky. I think that it happens often, you should do that.
Regards,
They display faded into White.. It was working fine. one fine day, as i was replying to a text message.. or when searching phone book.. or any action.. slowly the entire screen faded into white.. once i did a restart and removed the battery a cpl of times and it seemed ok.. but now its permanently white.. i cant even enter boot logger mode.. or even if i did, i wont know or cant see that i am in bootlogger mode...
Any ideas??

1st, scuse please 1st post, bad day at work...
1. Does it get hot anywhere on the front of the hermes. A mate of mine had a capacitor burn out that caused white screen...
2. Try opening the keypad then reseting. This worked for mine BUT it is a pressure issue and as I closed it found that touching a certain spot in the bottom right corner of the casing would make it whitescreen again.
Other than that you might have to open up your hermes to try and fix...
Heres how to open up :http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c02_owner=1
Make sure you have the correct tools though as it makes life easier. No. 6 torque key and a flat bladed screwdriver are good..
Cheers...
I just had the same problem on my TyTN. Everything but the cover and battery was replaced in warranty and now it is solved. It seem to be the connectors to the screen that crack.

Read the thread for this and see if you are having the same problem as many of these people. It helped me figure my own problem out a lot. Good luck

This is the same thing that happened to me At&T told me it was the D-pad because that broke before my white screen issue and they replaced it for me
white screen probs
had the same problem on a few hermes now....replaced the screen to no availl....after many other trials i replaced the circuit board under the d-pad and problem sloved.....i havnt got the know how to test the board for faults but i would agree that the board is the problem any one know what the function of the part is exactly....screen controller????
screws...
I had the same problem and was able to fix it temporarily using the foam-behind-the-Dpad-connector trick several (like 6 or 7) times but it always went white again within a few days. I finally got it to stick by loosening the tiny screws on the connector very slightly...haven't had a problem since. I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't just completely luck though. But seriously after so many times trying different thicknesses of foam and banging my head against the wall, I'm glad something worked. And now I can take it apart and put it back together in about 7 minutes, so that's a bonus! Might be worth a try if the foam thing doesn't work. Good luck.

Hey thanks all you guys.. I guess its the D-Pad connector issue.. will follow the resolution suggestions.. I will let you know if that helped...
mine fades to white everyonce in a while then comes back or i have to take the battery out and all is fine. it did it when i put wm6.1 on it. was perfect before i did that.
hi there
ive been having this issue for ages and have opened my handset to reseat the connector no fewer than 14 times in the last 2 weeks
today i had a breakthrough though,
what i did was completely cleaned the connectors using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip
the important bit: RESEAT the connector properly. it may look like its reseated but look at it side on and it should be perfectly flat, and if necessary push on it a little to make sure its seated
then, on the back cover (which you removed to get access to th d-pad) you'll notice a little rectangle 'pad' there roughly in the same place as the d-pad connector
get a white sticky label, or a post-it note or whatever and stick a little piece over that
then seal your phone back up and it should work.
i cant promise anything though, and any damage you do to your phone is entirely your responsibility
Hello everybody,
-3 weeks ago a had the first problem with my display: it was gone and when i tried to reset the screen was almost un-alignable. only after a lot of resets it worked again!
-now since yesterday my screen stopped working. All the other functions work like phone etc., but I only see the backlight of the screen and nothing else. I tried to reset, hard-reset and took the whole artemis apart. Only saw a little black spot on the displayconnector (can it overheat?!)
When trying to reset for a hundred times it worked three times! I was able to do a hard-reset with screen, but that's it.
-Another thing I notice is that when I try to charge my artemis it takes longer then normal for the orange charging-light to light-up. Also after 10-15 seconds it starts to blink in stead of constant-lighting-up.
I'm running Artemis touch 4.02 with battery status on 201 mhz (was running 247 mhz until hard reset yesterday). Radiorom: 3.21.90. Accesoires: sandisk 8gb sdhc.
Who can help??? Will fitting a new display do the job?
What a coincidence, my screen also stopped functioning yesterday for several hours and I was forced to use mouse mode, until it just started working again but needed to be aligned several times over 20mins of use.
Today, same problem. It comes and goes, needs constant realigning...
I'll be doing some surgery again when I get home tomorrow, dunno about black spots yet.
I've just replaced the digitizer on it and I suspect a contact has come loose on the back of the LCD (I hope!).
Anybody else have any ideas?
so you think it's a problem of the display, rather then the main board or something like that? because I don't get a view on the display at all, only backlight.
I'm doubting on buying a new screen for about 40 US dollar. Would be sore if that didn't solve the problem.
p.s. took the artemis apart again yesterday: saw a minor damage on the display's connector. If that can cause all this, then a new screen would be the solution I think. But how does the connector get damaged???
FIXED
bought new screen. problem fixed.
Did you buy just the digitizer or the whole screen?
I think by buying the cheapest digitizer I could find is where I went wrong, looks like I'm shopping for another one...
Hey guys i need some help please.
I opened my phone up a few weeks ago to blow out some dust that got in behind the screen. But when I put it all back together again. The phone wouldn't boot, but somehow i got it going again. But since then, whilst using the phone the screen will randomly stop responding and then the phone itself will just crash,
Now, when I go to reboot (I have to take battery out and back in) HTC spalshscreen comes on then the screen just slowly goes off within 15 secs (my splash screen is usually on for about 20 secs and the miui splash comes on straight after when working).
I have to keep rebooting until the phone comes on and then it would work fine for 1-2 days before it plays up again.
If trawled through similar problem but still can find an answer. Please help me out guys, I need to get my phone working again as I can't afford a new one as good as this.
If it helps I have been running on miui xj for about 8 months
Many thanks in advance
Hi i read the other day in the desire s threads and when u took the lcd screen off the digitizer (front of the phone) did u damage the tape glue around the edge that holds them both together? Because if u damage it even the slightest bit it and theres the tiniest gap, it will cause the screen to not work properly and give faulse/positive touchs and the phone to not work correct. Maybe this is not ur problem but i thought id say.

Well you theory does make sense, I didn't actually take the digitizer out but I did notice looking through the screen that theres a little gap there thats allowing all the dust to get in there. I have reinstalled ROMs a couple of times now but its still hit and miss. So you could be very right as I don't know what else the problem can be.
Thanks for the response cos I never would have thought of that. I'm gonna strip it properly now and hope to fix it :good:
Nope im still having problems. I reinstall the the rom and itll be ok for a few weeks maybe then itll go on the blink again.
Im starting to wonder if there an issue with the software somewhere. But ive been using this rom for ages and not had a problem with it untill now
Well,
Last month my NExus 7 2013 32 GB (wifi) had stopped working - it just freezed and after reboot got very hot and stopped at google logo. After one week of fighting , going through the depths of internet: xda, google & other sites I`ve decided to replace motherboard as it seems the emmc 32 gb memory got broken by itself. I`ve received new motherboard (with 16 GB emmc this time as it was 40USD instead of 80USD for 32 gb version) and installed correctly with a little help of ifixit teardown and youtubes.
It booted fine, all the buttons are working, but now I got this strange touch issue: the digitizer dont recognise my touch in a certain part of the screen - I`d say its 3mm wide line a little down from the top of the screen when in portrait mode.
I tought I did something wrong when putting parts together so I replaced new ribbons which came with new motherboard for the old ribbons from old motherboard. No luck here - this didnt resolve the problem. I also did install multi-touch-fix I came up here on xda some years ago (boot-ts12-lock.img worked for me fine). This also didnt change anything.
When I was replacing the motherboard I did it very carefully and I`m sure I didnt break anything - also I`m sure that before my old motherboard went down, the touch was working very well.
If anybody knows what I could do to save my little precious nexus from throwing to garbage, please help.
I`ve attached a screenshot from touch tester for all of You to see what I mean. Please note that some minor touch registered on this non-working part of screen are most probably some ghost touch as when I move my finger over that part of the screen it doesnt record anything.
