[Q] HTC Desire Screed Display Problem - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My screen turns to random color from pinkish to red and purple to monochrome(black and white). It started when I highlighted a text into my message box and then suddenly it turns to pinkish red display. And then everyday the color changes randomly.Here is the display.

Hi,
does it also happen while boot, or when you in recovery, etc... ?
If yes, it is probably a hardware issue. If you are under warranty, send it there.
If no, you can try to disassemble and check the connectors if all is firmly in place.
I also read once about a broken display. Spares can be found on ebay, etc.

Yes it happened also while booting. I am not sure what to do with this problem if there's just wrong with the amoled adapters or i need to buy amoled display.

Hi,
well if you think you can manage it, you can disassemble it. How to's can be found on youtube.
Check if anything is loose. But be careful not to break any thin wire.

Faulty screen

Hello,
I've got a problem with the screen of my Qtek 9090 as it doesn't seem to be displaying colours properly and there are lines going across the screen and text at times.
Would someone have any idea of what the problem might be and if it's fixable?
Here are a couple of images of what I'm getting. Quality isn't great but I hope it shows the problem well enough.
that looks like a hardware defect, you can use the htc service manual linked in my signature to disassemble the device and look for problems with the display's connectors, cables and possible pressure on the display/digitizer or anything related to the display. a good way to test that would be to take away any housing and start the device, that way you can carefully bend the cable in normal angles and see, when it happens.

Faint light in top right corner of the screen

Hi all, hoping someone could help me. Hot a new desire yesterday and have noticed when no a black screen these is a faint light in the top right corner. You can't see it when the screen is light though.
Is this faint light a problem or will it be ok?
Cheers all
Blinky
Not sure how common this is but I have the same problem and have heard about it before. I was thinking of returning the Desire for a different one but if it is a common problem then I won't bother.
Silly suggestion, it doesnt happen when your notification led is on does it?
As that would produce a slight glow from underneath the screen.
I have the faint light in the top corner even when the led is off.
Anyone hot any other ideas what it could be?
Cheers
Blinky
Is this while the screen if off?
Looked on my Desire - can't see any other light source?
Any update on the uper right corner issue, I have same problem and even went back to store to change the device, but the new one had same issue. Dont know if its only my bad luck or what.
Its plain backlight bleeding, could be possibly solved by some ghetto disassembly and sharpie, but I wont sacrifice my warranty to fix something that doesn't bother me (and of course it's a feature/bug of SLCD screened Desires)
So you think i bought desire with slcd not the amoled one. Didnt know slcd desires are already on the market.
Hmmm, I have this issue as well, only really shows up on a dark blank screen, so not to much of an issue in day to day use.....Looks from all the posts that this is a "feature" of the SLCD screens that HTC are using......;o)
Substituted mine today in warranty...no differences, the same problem on the new one.
Thanks htc...good work...
Same story here. Bought mine (SLCD) about week ago and this screen "feature" was there from the very beginning. I was thinking about to return it, but I went through your posts guys and looks like this is a common problem...

[Q] What to do with DEAD pixels

Oh my god, I just noticed that my "new" (~ a month old) desire has a bunch of dead pixels . I counted 6 spots on the display wherer there is at least one dead pixel. One is clear to see, must be more than one pixel dead there. I can clearly tell that they are dead pixels, because if i tilt the phone they change color.
I tried PixelFix App but it did not help. (btw: having SLCD screen)
If nothing helps I will have to make use of the warranty. Will they repair/chang the display?
Anyone with the same problem / a solution? Or should i just go to my providers shop?
Should I remove the screen protector first? If they think I am stupid they might tell my its my own fault, because I am using the screen protector with glue (or whatever).
Well, dead pixels don't change color... remove the screen protector first and wipe the display with a clean, soft cloth the screen, see if they still show.
The warranty should cover this fault when a certain number of dead pixels is reached.
Otherwise, a whole new screen goes for around 130-140 $.
With monitors you need 2 dead pixells so I would say the same about screens.

First of all thanks for your quick replies.

On a black screen they clearly shine bright white or cyan (can't really tell because they are so tiny). If I change the view angle it changes to some kind of red.
Do such apps like PixelFixer help at all?
If I remember correctly, the colored stuck pixels that have other color than black are called sub-pixels and are the components of a "full-fledged" pixel, so a stuck sub-pixel could be your problem. In any case, neither should change color when tilting the screen.
I never heard of a single case of "healing" a dead pixel problem using a software, although in theory they all say could do it...
Did you remove the screen protector?
Just talk to HTC or your insurance or your carrier and see what they can do. Your still in warranty so best to take the safe route.

[Q] Black screen after lcd replacement

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire Z, one day I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen was black with white lines. After reading that it was most likely a faulty LCD, I purchased a replacement from ebay. I installed it following the instructions in this video
watch?v=C0LJnqTlBVQ
After installing it the screen remains black. I can hear the start up music playing but the screen is black, no white lines like before. I even tried reinstalling the original lcd and the same thing, no white lines. Also after starting the phone up the front seems very warm.
Could my replacement lcd also be faulty or does the problem lie elsewhere?
Thanks in Advance
Ok, I took it apart again just to double check the lcd ribbon. It was on good, however I took it off and put it on again and now the screen works!
However the brightness is set to the lowest and even if I change it to the high setting it remains the same. Also the automatic change doesn't work either. Any Ideas?

[Q] Display problem - local greenish pixels

Hi,
please have a look at the attached image, cause its hard to explain.
It was kind of strange... it started with some cloudy pixels in the middle of the screen, they went down to where they are now and got more intense.
Its now there since about 4 weeks without change.
Anyone experienced it? I guess I need to replace the screen, or is there any other chance? In case I have to replace it, what would I need to get? The touch screen digitzer or the full lcd display?
Thanks
Susi

Although i'm not an expert on this, But i should suggest you to replace Digitizer only because it seems like Display is okay just chemical imbalance between digitizer and display panel.
If you've proper tool to disable the device and with some flat hard plastic or something try to take this to the edge where it easily go out. To me Display seems okie. Because such things happen when we put phone in tight jeans and due to over compression such happens but it has nothing to with display panel, its just chemical in between display and digitizer.
I had an iPod 4th Gen,. Same kinda Dark black spot i've noticed after single drop on top right corner and later it disappear automatically. So just saying try that first rather buying whole new panel or digitizer. Flat blunt plastic to take that bubble to the side
