Black screen of death - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello dear community.
I have a problem with my Mi5s.
My Mi5s screen is completely dead! The phone literally works and I could also flash a rom and hear sounds but everything is black.
What should I do? I can't imagine that I destroyed the hardware because I now how to repair mobiles and also had the right tools.
Should I buy a new Displayframe and repair my cracked glass with a hope of a working screen?
Fastboot works!
Thank you very much.

It happened to me, just the buttons died.
It's not really possible to separate the LCD from the digitiser.

Warranty. I haven't unlocked, but that shouldn't affect it.

I've contacted HTC and they said it is out of warranty as it stated in the contract
Well, it depends on their mood. If you return it to stock, they'll probably fix it.

[Q] Recalibrate screen after digitizer replacement?

So I accidentally dropped the phone and broke the digitizer. So I bought a new one. I went to a friend of mine working in the service of phone repairs and told me that there is a chance after we install the new digitizer that it will need recalibration and that it will need to wipe everything from the phone to do so.
Do you have any experience in this process? Is what he says possible? And if yes will I need to re root the phone?
Thanks in advance!
nothing? :/ noone has replaced one?

That's usually never the case, newer touch screens do not need calibration.

Ah right, by that I meant capacitive screens do not need calibration, the Desire HD screen is a capacitive screen.

[Q] Bricked phone or Screen Problem?

Here is the problem. I install a custom rom. it's working properly. but a few days ago, it says weather widget stop working. and i uninstall it using titanium backup. but after a few days later, the screen is not turning on but it got sound from the lockscreen and opening app drawer. i tried few ways. then, it's working again. but just now, it happened again. screen off. the boot and lockscreen can be hear properly. is it the rom problem or my screen problem? if it is my screen problem, how do i claim warranty since the device already rooted. please help me. this really made me sad. :crying:
Install stock rom via odin then root it again then install traingel away to rest counter then remove root
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
when you reboot, can you see those white words(galaxy note 2 etc.)? if you cant see those, i am sorry, but it is going to be a screen problem.
you rooted it, but it doesnt matter because they wont be doing anything with your system. they will just change the LCD, so no need to unroot it.

Enter recovery and do a factory reset.
Fixed? Good
Not fixed? Re-flash rom
Fixed now? Good
Can't enter Recovery? Enter download mode, flash Stock ROM through ODIN
Fixed now? Good
Can't enter Download? I can't help with this one

nope. cant see a thing. ohh. but, if they fix the screen, they must turn it on and see wether it's working or not. i use joeldroid and when booting, after galaxy note 2 word, google logo will come up. will they notice that the device is rooted or not?
If your screen is dead, they can't check if the phone is rooted until they fix the screen
Even if they fix the screen, they will most likely be too lazy to check if its rooted.
I once completely destroyed my partitions on my old galaxy by entering a Motorola command in Terminal, + it was rooted
I got my money back

Oh man that sucks....i acutally sent it to the Online Store i bought it from, they have their repair shop.
I guess i've would've had the same fate if i sent it to Samsung
LCD and the Mobo cost as much as a new Note 2.....LCD is around 100 euros and Mobo is around 150-200eur

WOW. I didn't know someone can be an asshole this big.
I don't know man.....i don't think so :/
You could try removing the marker with something, and then try sending to the Store you bought it from.
The thing is, with a phone this expensive, no one will give up easily, if it was a 100-200$ phone you would get a replacement no doubt...
the sam but another problem...
Hey i have the Problem that i cant see anymore BUT i dont root or modified my Phone and i can see a colorful screen.
What do you think. is the screen damage or is it the GPU chip?

yeah. i was totally shocked when i found that written at the battery slot. Guess i'll jus go fix the lcd only since there is sound coming when i push the power button. they said it will cost about 400$ to repair it. 200$ for the lcd and 200$ for the main board. i think they just want it to be original just as new. that's why they want to change the main board. what do you think?

Yes! that's what i discovered now, i went to recovery mode (Power Button+Vol down button) and i was so suprised that it lasted 2 hours now without shutting down or fading to darkness
Now i'm confused, if it was a hardware problem then we will face the same problem but i'm not sure if it's the motherboard

You have to stress the phone to see if it is stable. Recovery is a low resource environment, boot into Android and then see it is not working. Trust me, i have a device with the same symptoms and fixed it by baking the motherboard in an oven.

one of my replies in another thread has a little guide. Just search in my profile.

[SOLVED] OnePlus 5T Hardbricked

SOLVED. MODS CAN CLOSE THIS THREAD.
Hello xda,
Yesterday i woke up and unplugged my 5T from charger, but phone wasn't working. Then i tried to power on but it stuck on Oneplus logo.(not boot animation, just oneplus splash screen and "powered by android")
Then i tried to enter to recovery for hard reset but no luck, i couldn't access to recovery mode and also when i try, stuck on bootlogo again. But interesting thing about it is, after a while the logo dissappears and screen goes black but phone don't powering off, just black screen with no notification led. I can access the fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked.
I tried:
Flashing official rom with Msm download tool.
I didn't get any errors, it flashed successfully but the phone still not working. When i try to power on, it shows oneplus logo again but after about 5 minutes screen goes black and notification light shines white. And in this position, my pc recognizes the phone as "Qualcomm HS USB Diagnostics 900E".
My bootloader is locked cause i'm not able to erase any partition by fastboot commands or can't flash TWRP.
I need your help. I'm not able to use my phone for 2 days.
Wrong thread. Sry.
Sad to know your phone isn't working, run the msm tool again and make sure its for the oneplus 5t and not for oneplus 5,

Thanks for your reply but i used the 5T unbrick tool(dumpling). But no way. Then i tried the Oneplus 5(not T) unbrick tool. Screen became reversed and weird because of resolution difference. I thought maybe i can access the recovery menu with 5's firmware but didn't worked. I followed all of the guides on the xda but didn't worked for me. I'm scaring if it's a hardware problem.

If they handle this nicely, you shouldn't be disappointed so much. I mean there quite a lot of people getting good experience with this phone. You are just unlucky. Such thing happens if you jump into other phone's forum too.
