Hello, people. Ask about the HU. I have it for 4 years, as soon as I arrived from China I installed it and the screen did not respond, the touch did not go away. The email exchanges with the Chinese tell me what test if the rest of the unit works by connecting a mouse to the USB port. Satisfactory answer. However, the screen ... dead.
I disconnected it and saved it. After a week I tried to try again and ... wave it ... it worked perfectly!
However, a few months ago we started working irregularly. If the ambient temperature is below 15 ° C, the touch screen does not work and the Bluetooth also flashes.
If the ambient temperature is above 25 ° C, the touch does not work and the steering wheel commands do not respond.
There are other days with temperatures in intermediate ranges and the screen does not work either.
Other days it starts working well and after a few minutes the display out again.
What is it? A problem of Hard or Soft ?????

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...
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
Hello...friend, i got the same problem wit my Himalaya last time n guess what it works fine again after i put a small piece of paper between the phone n the battery..but unfortunately the charging port broken..
but i still have Blue Angel wit me wit no GSM problem..
I am on my second Pixel C where the backlight has stopped working after a month. The screen still works, if I shine a light at it just right I can see the contents (especially when they are white), but the backlight just doesn't come on. The previous one did this on and off for about a week while waiting for the replacement, meaning it would occasionally come back on and work for a little while. But, right before the replacement arrived, it went off and never came back on. My replacement did it for the first time today (it is one month old now), I connected to my laptop when I got home and issued an "adb reboot", and it appears to be working again. I have requested a refund from Google, but they said they couldn't authorize it, so I have filed a dispute with my credit card company in order to get my money back.
Overall, I like the device. I have had to work around a few of its shortcomings, but everything was satisfactory. I just can't keep replacing something every month.
Has anyone else experienced this? I mean, I know how to search and have found similar reports, this exact issue. Where the screen still comes on and is visible under the right lighting conditions, but the backlight is just non-functional. If so, what was the recourse you took to solve it? I have tried not putting it in my case (thinking that was the problem), rebooting (which occasionally has worked, but not always), factory resets (real tough without being able to see), plugging it in when malfunctioning, leaving adaptive brightness disabled, cursing at it and throwing my hands up in the air in frustration, etc. Nothing reliably works, and now I am afraid to let it go to sleep seeing how it came back after the reboot today.
Thanks for reading this...
My Pixel C started doing this last week. Wasn't so bad at first, but it's slowly gotten worse and starting last night the backlight will go hours without turning on. I've tried charging it, hooking it up to my computer, and just finished a factory reset and nothing has worked. Just like you if I shine a light at the right angle I can see things, but that's not exactly fun to do. Bought it at the end of March, so it almost made it 4 months.
One thing I should add, and this is probably a coincidence, is it started happening right after I downloaded the July updates. I only mention this in case someone else has had a similar experience.
My second one had gotten even worse, the screen sometimes comes on now, but the right half is either just fuzz or completely distorted, and the touch screen is non functioning.
I have ordered a Samsung galaxy tab s2, and will get my money back either from Google (doubtful), or my credit card company. Hope Samsung updates it at least to N.
I'm so torn, when it worked the pixel was awesome, I love the screen, closest any has come to the ratio of my camera. But two in a row only lasting a month each, and it's hard to consider a third, or fourth...
Sorry yours is glitching out on you, hope you get a satisfactory resolution.
I have the same problem. Exactly like you describe above. Since my Pixel C is one month out of warranty there is nothing I can do except warn others not to buy this product,
Oliver Browne.
Same here for me. First one started with screen issues as described above, lucky for me i was 3 days before the end of waranty, second one lasted 93 days... 3 days out of waranty for a replacement device! Thanks Google for a cheap device...

I face the same issue, and was able to turn on the backlight by adjusting its brightness using the touch screen. Try shining a torch onto it while locating the brightness setting. This temporary fix works for me every time, and hope it helps someone.
Trying the torch was very useful! I now know for a 100% that the backlight doesn't work. I used the torch to see what I was actually doing on the screen, and erased all data & cleaned the cache.
Unfortunately the backlight stayed off, so I assume it's a hardware issue.
I've sent an email to Google support, hopefully they can get this one fixed or replaced.
did you manage to fix your issue ?
Same issue here, and no not resolved.
The only thing I can do to work around it is keep tapping the power button every second. Eventually you get lucky and the backlight will turn on. (Rebooting doesn't seem to be needed.)
Hi all,
I bought this tablet as a gift for my little brother. He encountered the very same issue 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it became worse today, as now backlight won't turn on anymore, even after a reboot and a factory reset.
It must be a hardware issue...
I will try to contact their after sales service, as the tablet isn't even 6 months old.
HI, my first Pixel c met this issues after 20 months... first it was only sometimes and backlight came back after some pushes on the power button... but it get worst and worst: 2 days without backlight and at the end half screen fuzzy issues. I order a replacement product with my warranty (2 years in Europe)... and now my second Pixel meets the same issue... with a no responding screen issue too... it's awful and my warranty is over yet... nothing can fix this...! something seems to be bad quality in this device....
I'm on my 2nd pixel c and final. Google support said that because they had replaced it under warranty the warranty only applies to the original purchase date not the replacement which seemed BS to me because I was shipped a refurb tablet
Never the less using adb/ fast boot I was able to get the device into bootloader and blindly reload the entire operating system. It was only until I performed a wipe within TWRP that the screen started working again. Interesting and now off it is working for the past hour or so. Currently applying latest updates but not holding my breath. Unfortunately it looks like Google is killing off the tablets and I don't know if any of their Engineers have actually tried to use a Chromebook in place of a tablet but it just doesn't translate well. If I cannot get this device working reliably I may buy another refurb to get a few more years out of it. The pixelbook is way too heavy for Couchsurfing
The screen comes and goes with no particular interaction. I'm really bummed because I had gotten so used to this device. I buy another but I'm afraid it's going to happen again. I don't see any tablets that are upgrades either. The Android tablet days are over. Pixelbook is not intuitive. Although it runs Android apps it does so very poorly with in Chrome OS and it's very bulky. I'm a try my luck with another refurb off eBay. Have not been able to find anyone that can repair it
Hello, so yesterday (19 hours ago) my phone stopped responding to touch commands (whole screen) and I cant even unlock it.
I tried to put the battery, sim and sd card out and put it back in after an hour or so. It worked but only for a few hours. It is the same problem now again except it wont boot (stuck on kernel logo) without beign connected to charger or computer. I can disconnect it from charger but I cant use it because the tochscreen is not responding.
Is it a software problem or a damaged flex cable?
Few years ago I had a problem with flex cable on the same device. It started to randomly show fuzzy static screen. Later it shown only the static screen so the device was unusable.
I replaced the flex cable around 5 or 6 months ago and it was working until yesterday.
Both problems appeared when I was using the device in cold environment during winter.
Dont know if its important but I think it started when I got a (not important)call but couldnt answer it because the phone wont respond to touch with gloves so I just let it ring. I dont know if the missed call or a cold environment could cause this.
Thanks for any help.

My guess would be again flex cable.
Try to power on phone with slider opened.
So roughly 24 hours after I posted this thread I turned it on and it booted with touchscreen working. Its working but I still have no idea what caused it. Im not playing any games on it, I didnt dropped it and it was in cold environment many times before.

Cold enviroment shouldn't influence flex that much.
I personaly changed 5 flex cables in last 5 years, but durability varies. First one lasted a year, then 2nd and 3rd lasted 6 month each, 4th give me trouble because when i assembled it, it didn't work, but after reopening and focusing on proper contact where touchscreen goes (flex with short U-shaped end) it worked around 10 months. 5th still works, but i still have 1 new unused flex in reserve.
In my case, whenever touchscreen start to "behave", i order two new peaces from China (cheap, it was around 5 euros for two, free shipping). At the time they arrive, touchscreen can still work.

So after second time in the cold environment it looks like it wont recover so easily. Can you please PM me the seller you are buying from? These cables are almost 15€ with shipping here. Its pretty expensive for one cable.

Hi everyone!
I've been using an Xtrons TE103ap which is basically a MTCD/E PX5 unit. It operates off of a swivel 10.1 inch screen.
I've been having intermittent issues over the last 1 year where the screen would be unresponsive when the swivel is set to certain angles, so I assumed it was an issue with the connection. It runs off a generic 40 pin ribbon (the kind you find off floppy drives). I replaced it with a new cable and the problem went away for a while.
Every now and then, it would be unresponsive to touch requiring a complete reboot to get working again.
As of 3 days ago, the touch response started becoming laggy, ie. after touching a certain point, it would take about 1 second to respond. No amount of jiggling or wire switching fixed the issue.
I have done a complete teardown of the screen module and i've noticed that the digitizer ribbon is separate from the touch panel's ribbon. All contact points seem to be working and it doesn't seem to be a cable issue.
Assuming it were a digitizer issue, the touch panel's controls would still work right?
The last 3 days, i've been trying everything from going from Android 8 to Android 10, no fortune. I did try several MCU's and one particular MCU got the screen working for a while, long enough for me to get into factory settings and do a configuration. On reboot, i lost all touch functions again...
As of now, i'm perplexed as to whether it is a hardware issue or possibly software issue. Hoping anyone could shed some light.
Thanks !
