I had my HTC One X for about a year until a few months ago when the touch screen slowly stopped responding. The bottom half of the screen would not work when all of the sudden the whole screen turned into this rainbow static. My mom read somewhere online that if you twist the top and bottom of the phone slightly you could fix it. So i did. And it worked until i twisted too hard and shattered the screen! So I bought a new screen and sent it to get fixed by a local computer repair guy. He replaced the screen and digitizer but the rainbow static is still there. I've already bought the new HTC One, but I'd really like to be able to get my pictures off of the old One X (you can't see the screen to put it into usb mode, nor can you do it blindly). Is there a solution for this problem?
I will post a picture if it's helpful.

well i think its the problem with your nvidia chip :/ not actually sure about it but maybe..and when i plug my phone into usb cable it automatically shows your htc one x as a portable multimedia player as shown in the attachment so u can easily access it and take any of your personal data from it

I didn't have the device set for usb mode before it broke, so when i plug it in it just treats the phone as if it's charging I can't change the mode without being able to see the screen.
Thank you anyways!

hi, have searched and searched on the forum but no real answer to my problem.
i dropped my htc one x and the glass cracked, so i sent it away to a supposed reputable firm (i didnt realise htc repaired phones aswell otherwise i would have sent it there)
anyway the lcd display and brightness worked perfectly, the company have replaced the screen and now the backlight no longer works and flickers when touched or cpu is being used.
they have said it is the display IC, and coil etc,
they say that this was caused by the phone being dropped, and not by them and they have charged me (they take payment before sending phone back), they initially took the phone back, and 3 weeks later they have decided to wash there hands of it, have put the phone back together shodily tell me i have to put up with the phone as it is, and refuse me a refund.
they acknowledge that the ic was fine before they took it apart, but blame it on the nature of the phone design as to why it now doesn't work.
i would post link to another forum explainingg the possible issue (has no explanation of cause though) and pics of the phone has been returned to me, but i can't because im a noob
Basicly the question is,
Who is at fault?
And how could the ic get shorted out,
The backlight flickering is likely to be poor installation of the new screen.
Again this is an old example I'm referring to here. I used to replace the screens on the Nokia n95 quite regularly.
You get the screen assembly and the ribbon cable which attached to the motherboard.
If the ribbon cable was not seated 100% perfectly I would get the exact same symptoms you are describing.
No backlight. Pressing down on the screen would either get it to flicker or come on for a while.
It shows a poor connection. I took the screen back out and repositioned the cable back in. Reassembled and then it was fine after

Hi mate did you managed to get this sorted I am having the exact trouble same issue with a company call Elite Phones and Computers.
They are saying that the IC shorted out and the only repair would have to be a replacement board.

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.

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.
Hi there guys,
I've just completed a complete display replacement for an HTC One X of a friend of mine. Disassembled the phone perfectly, the phone was powered on. Replaced the new display, connected the digitizer, powered on, voilà the screen worked perfectly while disassembled. Before putting the whole phone back into the white housing, I powered off the phone.
Reassembled the white casing, the phone was just like new, not even a scratch on it! (took me 2 hours!!). Now the problem: when I turned it back on at the HTC logo, it disappeared, the display wouldn't turn on anymore. Phone connected to the wifi, downloaded a couple of emails, even received a phone call, but the display was turning on!!! LED was operating fine, audio and usb as well, and also the wifi/3g antennas.
Disassembled the phone again, connected the old (broken glass) screen, and it doesn't turn on as well, not even with the old one!
What you could have happened?? The new display is original HTC, I wonder if the bootloader has some sort of protection: before turning it off then on everything was working fine!
Any ideas???
Thanks

no bootloader protection maybe you broke the cable between the mainboard and display!

Can't be: that cable is hard connected to the display, so every display has its own one. Even the broken display, when taking apart the phone, worked fine, and I didn't even touch its cable after that.. It's weird that even the old display doesn't work anymore!
Any Solution yet?
Have the same Problem here with a One X. Before the Replacement ( took 2 hours carefully worked.. ), the Touchscreen didn't react on Touch at the Middle of the Screen, now I have Coloured Strips on the Right Side of the Screen from Top to Bottom until the half of the Screen.
On the left Side it is Black but to the Middle more Grey, then a Line from Top to Bottom in Yellow and then the Coloured Stripes.
Sorry for my bad English, i'm long out of School and feel sad about the lost of this Beautiful Phones. :crying:

Hi,
Only thing I can think of is that somehow it has damaged the cable from the touchscreen or the tiny wires that feed into the cable without damaging the screen. I came across a brand new screen I was replacing once for someone that had a similar problem where the bottom left hand corner wouldn't respond to touch unless there was firm pressure on the screen to create contact, and this was a brand new screen. It could also be that the touchscreen connector needs to be pushed back onto the board if it's come a bit loose.
If this is the problem, you can fix it by yourself although I'd have a good look around youtube, there are heaps of DIY videos of how to replace screens. If you do go down this path I recommend you replace the touchscreen/LCD/LCD frame in one go, as it's generally already pre- assembled the only thing here is that there are 3 brands of LCD's HTC used with the phone and they aren't all compatible, and you can only tell by pulling down your phone and looking at the LCD flex cable colours, and the other thing is that the screens that are available aren't always the same quality as the original. If this sounds to hard your best bet is to take it somewhere and diagnose the problem just in case it's something else
Hi,
I have to following problem:
My HTC One M8 has colorful grainy static screen and sometimes the picture turns off, like a cable is loose. I read all the forums and search google all over for a solution, most of them claimed that after a panel replace it will be fine. I switched the whole front panel for a new one, but after assembly i have the same problem. The phone is working, because i can unlock the screen lock, turn off the phone, i get the notifications and everything, but the screen is just static noise. I'm assuming that maybe it is some graphic fault, but not related to the lcd panel or the cables (they are all brand new, and i double checked all of them). Is the logic board responsible for the image? What should i try to replace next the upper motherboard, or the middle logic board?

I've got the exact same thing here.... Searched a lot around without finding anything that has resolved my case. I ordered a replacement screen for a cracked screen on the first phone, but when I tested the LCD before I assembled everything together it was showing just noise like in your picture. I assumed the LCD was bad, so I ordered a new one. But the new one was acting exactly the same.
Yesterday, I was approached by another one who needed help with their M8, and that phone needed to have its volume buttons replaced. So, I reused the parts from the old M8, but when I booted the phone after repair, it showed this same noisy screen as the first M8 I tried to repair. Anyone here that knows these phones and what is going on here? I'm pretty sure I have 3 working LCD's here now, and suspect something strange going on with the mainboard or controller for screen.
Anyone?
