Bright White Screen of Death?

My new replacement Dash, less than a month old, has a blank white screen. (See attached) The phone otherwise works perfectly, and is fully functional when the screen is echoed to the desktop with My Mobiler. (also attached).
I have been running Kavana's 80314 overclocked happily for 5 or 6 days now, and everything was functional, fast and stable. After just using it for a call, I pulled it back out of my pocket and found the screeen blanked-for-good. Any ideas?

Have you tried reflashing it ? This was an issue with an older Kavana ROM.

No, but I will. Back in a minute or two.

I have re-flashed with 80314, 80318, and the Kavana/Ricky; no easy task with no screen! Problem continues consistently.
so: the screen stays white through
soft reset
hard reset
sprite restore
attempts at entering bootloader mode
entire process of ROM flash.
Anyone have more ideas, or links to other threads on a fix?
If a ROM flash is going to cause bricking days after the fact, I can't recommend it, to say the least.
However, I may have an insight into the common 270 error. Anytime I allowed autolock.exe to lock the keys, the ROMs would appear to be corrupted. Will post on that thread.

Here is your answer!!!!!!!!!!!

Be thankful your phone isn't injured like mine. After flashing to Kavana's latest ROM, installing my programs, receiving my 8GB SDHC card, and watching a few movies stored on that card, I dropped my phone (on a soft carpet) and screwed up the LCD. You would think that after surving 10 or so concrete and hard surface hits, that carpet would be no opponent. I guess I should edit my signature.
Maybe now I have an excuse to get the AT&T Tilt.......

Wanna sell me the card?
Ebay look for a screen...or sell the phone for parts

Sorry Mikey but the Tilt has a MicroSD slot I am still debating whether to part it out or replace the screen and use it as a backup phone. I sure would miss it. Thanks to this community I have come to love my Dash!

Unfortunately, if that is the problem, I still can't get it to stop. I've tried turning the JOGGR back on (which I normally have off), and fiddling with the lowlight options, as well as experimenting with the tasks and processes in Celetask. No luck there, either. Still white.
I am afraid to replace the unit and have the same thing happen again if I go with WM 6.1
So far, I'm limited to sticking my SIM in a beater T722i a friend loaned me. It hurts, oh, it hurts!

Wrap Up
T-Mobile has decided that the sim died, and took my phone with it, so they replaced both no charge (except shipping). Who am I to argue with that?

Same Problem...

Did you check to make sure that the connectors are all correct, try to reopen it and check it out... if ask for an exchange from the ebay seller. I believe that there is a policy and especially if you paid with paypal try going through there and say the item is defective.

Dead GPU?

Hi,
My phone it's not working anymore...
I just re-installed the original software using SEUS (Sony Update Service), everything went OK but the phone it's still not working.
First I get the "SONY ERICSSON" screen and after that the phone boots to this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone seems to be working as Windows 7 recognizes it and If I turn the volume up you can hear it... but display on Android it's not working.
"SONY ERICSSON" screen looks OK without disorted graphics.
The phone have solution? No?
Flashtool might be able to help?
Best Regards.

Did you drop it or get it wet?

Too bad... I can't send it to SONY as I am not the original owner... besides it's the euro version and I live in America...
I also, do not have proof of purchase... do you think there is any other solution? reflow?
Best Regards.

if you dont have the technical knowledge to repair it your own i see no solution then... sorry

I have seen replacements screens on ebay for around $40... might be something worth looking into. I have repaired 2 xplay phones and they are relatively easy to disassemble.... and if yo uare unsure there are tutorials on this forum that show details on how to do this... step by step

I dont think its the screen if he gets the Sony logo its likely the motherboard.
My Motorola Droid did this once I smacked it against a table and it worked again. Likely a motherboard problem there as well but i was getting rid of it anyway.

Yes, I get showed the "SONY ERICSSON" logo correctly.
But adter it enters Android UI, its just that corrupted graphics...
Do you think Flashtool would help? Maybe it has the wrong kernel flashed... dunno.

How long have you been using Xperia Play ?

About 3 months...
But this is a new problem.

I think it's supposedly from a loose cable for screen output or something. Apparently some people have it happen by sliding out the game-pad too much and it knocks the cable loose. Mind you I have not personally had this happen, it's just speculation

Xperia PLAY flex cable it's very cheap...
I have no problem in replacing it...
But... if it is the flex... how do you explain that I can see the SE logo? -->
I am not saying that you are worng, just that I know little and this wouldn't make sense...
Also, it does not make sense that if the graphic chipset is burned, Android boot's normally...

Was it overclocked?

No overclock...
UPDATE: I confirmed and the phone also receives PHONE CALLS.
Do you think it's the flex cable?
Or the motherboard needs a reflow?
Best Regards.

I dont think it need a reflow. If it did nothing would work.
You have flashed back to stock right? Did you try a second time with a different rom? Try flashing back using wotan server

Thanks for your answer...
I tried using Sony Update service... and also got the messed up screen.
Then I dwonloaded R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf and flashed it using Flashtool... sadly I got the very same results. Phone works but it shows that messed screen.
I can try Wotanserver... but I would need to pay, right?
Also, I would appreciate if someone could guide me to enable "USB Debuging"; as it's very hard to do it without seeing the screen (digitizer works as I can unlock screen and pick up a call).
With ADB enabled I might be able to check (using Screencast) if the GPU is working properly.
I am also thinking it could be an LCD problem...
UPDATE: Wotan Server it's FREE... flashed with latest firmware but sadly I got the same results... AGAIN.
Problem seems to be hardware, not software... so is it flex? lcd? motherboard?

not sure how it is hardware problem if you see boot logo though. Do you see boot animation aswell?

is it possible that the internal rom has kakked it?

No, I can't see boot animation.
I just see SE logo and then nothing. Afer that if I press pwr/lock button it shows the mosaic/pixelated screen...
Can someone "guide" me thru the UI to enable ADB? I know how to do it, but I can't remember the exact location of the menus to do it blindly.
With ADB enabled I may be able to run diagnostic on the phone and see if I can find the problem.
Also, about the internal ROM beeing messed... it could be... but then why I am able to flash any rom properly and without any error? Also the phone boots, etc.
Best Regards.

HTC One X's part of touch screen not working at all

I brought my HOX about a month ago, no issues at all after updating to 1.28, no built issues zero software issues, it was perfect.
But today morning i installed a game and tried to touch the menu bar(the vertical bar with 3 dots just above capacitive buttons) and it does not work.
Not only in the game but everywhere you try to touch that area nothing happens.
This problem is not only limited to the menu bar, but also till very slightly above it.
The 1.29.7 update for asia just came out, i thught this would fix it but it didnt.
Tried to factory reset but still doesnt works.
Is this a hardware problem? Should i take to htc?
And do you think i will get a replacement or a repair job done?
Also, i have never dropped the phone even once, it was aways in soft silicon case away from any rough use. In fact, it has hardly been used.
Thanks

I would send it right back to HTC for a replacement.

Exchange it. I had a simular problem with mine but it was the top of the screen that stoped working. In the end I had to get a exchange.

Same problem here, but I've unlocked mine voiding my warranty : (

Defo not fixed with firmware updates as I had the same issue with my first one and had to return it for an exchange

same problem here
took it back to shop where it was purchased from, it took over 6 weeks for repair centre to return it.
just got it back today and the problems are still there
im sooo unhappy with this phone.
ive emailed HTC and waiting on a response.
i want a new one or my money back.

I am expireincing the exact same problem, except the non working part of digitizer is just above the middle of the screen. Is flashing a new ROM would fix it? I think i have nothing to loose, since i cannot send my phone to AT&T because i bought it used on ebay and i live in Canada. I guess it could be 50% chances ROM issue, my old Sensation was having a speaker issue, witch was playing very weak, i sent it to HTC and they flashed a new ROM, it got is spaeker fixed.

I too had this problem although it was intermittent. Sent my HOX to be repaired on Thursday, waiting to hear back.

Did changing the ROM do any good? I have the exact problem on my HTC, bought through craiglist, and am now in India so the warranty won't work. Is there anything I can do to correct it short of replacing the whole LCD?
Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi I do have same issue as same in screen shot shown I have at&t which does not warenty please help

Phone won't boot, did I just mess it up?

Alright so this isn't anything related to mods at all. It's the phone itself.
So I was going to play some Dead Trigger, nothing big, minding my own business. I slide up the screen to put my fingers on the gaming buttons. After a while the phone got hot (as usual), so I decided to turn off the game and slide down the screen.
This is where it happened. The screen got stuck halfway, so I slide it back up again to check behind it.
This little thing was pulled down:

See that little square in the red circle? You might be thinking: "But that's normal!".
Well I had this case of slightly broken phone. I got it from a friend that had a skating accident with it so it was pulled up all the time.
So I'm thinking that's what stuck it, and tried to slide the screen down again, but instead of the screen getting stuck I hear a loud CLICK and the screen turned off.
And not from the circuit board but rather like the kind of click that you hear when breaking a glowstick. I couldn't turn the phone on so I took the battery out, put it in again and tried to turn it on.
The vibration that activates when you turn it on worked like normal, but then nothing else. The screen doesn't turn on at all, nor does it properly boot either I think. When I plug it in my computer I hear the windows "device connected" sound, but I can't access it.
So what do you guys think? Is it fixable? Did I just royally **** it up?
Feel free to ask if you find my explanation confusing.

Sounds like the flex cable got stuck and snapped - had a similar thing happen on my g1. It's a royal pain to replace from what I've read, but is relatively cheap and there's no harm in trying to repair it i guess.

I asked around and that's what a few others thought too. I'm kind of afraid to open it up in fear of messing it up even more, but I guess it'll be good practice for computer electronics class.

Yea sounds like the flex I would make sure your warrenty is up before you do anything

[Q] Xperia SP bought at ebay-screen damage?

Hi, I bought a Xperia SP from eBay.
200€ unused. After opening the box the screen was on.
It shows the home screen but no matter which buttons (hardware or screen) I press, nothing happens.
The clock shows always the same time.
Anyways,the battery drain seems to be very low. After two days it is still on.
I read about hardware off, but it doesn't work. Any solution?

Return Back The Phone. Get back the Money

I tried to pull of the sticker, if it was one. But there is no sticker.
One other thing that is crazy : the screen seems not to be backlit, like other phones.
When the room light is off, the screen is visible, but not lightened like my other phones...
This is weird....I feel like I am beeing fooled...

Okay guys, I am so sorry I wanted to keep this joke going, but you guys are really kind and I don't want to misuse it any longer.
This phone indeed is a dummy. After reading only about the damn JellyBean update all the days I thought it would be funny to talk about something else.
Please don't verbal-kill me, it was just a joke and I apologize.
Have a nice evening everybody.

It's a fake, and everything in your story tells you it's fake : screen on out of the box (still running after 2 DAYS, that's 48h of screen on time), not responsive, not backlit, clock stuck, half the price, bought on eBay :/ open it up, pretty sure you won't even find a battery in there.
I'm wondering if your post is legit, and I'm only answering because if this is real, you must feel quite bad. Get your money back.
