Cause & Possible Fixes for Whitescreen + D-Pad failures (another new thing to try)
Hi guys, i am having a problem of dead whitescreen and d-pad failures in my imate jasjam. i searched this forum and come across the following article.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321163&highlight=white
i tried this solution twice, but it is not a permanent one and that problem comes again after some time. Recently, i come to another conclusion that is the LCD connector located on the left of the d-pad connector.
I just cleaned the lcd connector after applying a little amount of thinner, test it for approximately an hour and then reassemble my set. And from last 3 to 4 weeks, it is working fine and good without any problem.
It is my experiment, try it and give me comments if it doesn't fits in your case.

The LCD connector about which i have mentioned in my first post can be seen in the pic below marked with circle.

..jittery screen
hey, it looks like your MDA is in the same shape as mine, I wore off the hard buttons similar to yours, which tells me you've had it for a while. Mike was about a year and a half old before I started experiencing issues like that.
I have had a ton of experience with handhelds over the last few years, specifically the HP ipaq line. They were subject to a similar issue where the screen controller connection became degraded causing intermittant video display. It is likely that pressing the aluminum frame above the directional pad will stop the jitter, which is a very short term fix.
Your options would be to disassemble the screen and try to remedy the connection, or simply invest in a new phone. My slider had broke on one side anyways, so I took the opportunity to buy a new (probably refurb) MDA off ebay. I just got it up and running and cant be more happy!!
Hope this helps.
this has happened over 5 months ago my screen had turned white with a bunch of straight lines coming down from the screen, this was after i was trying to update my phone and in which i had not tampered with it when it was updating. I've tried to mess with it when i took it apart to see if i could fix it, and after a few hours i got sick of it and just junked it somewhere in my room. Now that i have read the possible fix's for the screen, what i found out is that once i disconnect the connector to the buttons at the bottom the screen would just become white instead of the color strands on it. I've even tried to re-update it but the same problem still persist. If anyone has any idea how i can fix this problem that would be great.

Thank You For Reading My Problem
Steve
no one has any solution for this problem ?
can anyone help me please ? or has anyone had this problem.
Looks like Lcd flex cable may be loose. You'll have to pretty much dismantle your Hermes and see. Go to this site for HTC manual - http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/
You should also PM Mike Channon if you really need help or advice as he is the Hardware specialist.
Cheers...
thank you for the help and the support bro.
Hi all. My elfin's On/Off Button seemed hard to trigger since couple of days and is there any solution to resolve it? Attached is the screenshot of the On/Off button. Thanks in advance.

Try to open your htc and check the button

you meant to disassembly it?
Well, you may have to dissemble it.
My elf has the same problem with the on/off button. I opened the unit and the problem is that the little switch on the circuit board has failed because it's not springing back after it's been pressed . The switch is very small and looks difficult to replace. The camera and reset buttons use the same type of switch, so I'm considering removing the switch used for reset, and soldering it into the on/off switch position. However, as I mentioned, the switches are very small so I'm worried that a heat gun or soldering iron will damage the board. Anyone know an HTC parts supplier that may sell these little switches?

The band is easily visible. It explains my problem. The rest of the touchscreen works fine.
Only noticed over the past week or so that typing on the keyboard in certain spots while in landscape causes two keys to always be hit instead of one.
I remember reading a thread earlier were people had many problems with the touchscreen. Should I ask the warranty service for an s4 or 2013 moto x instead? I don't want this happening again.
Edit:
Them seems to explain it PERFECTLY:

I've had this issue happen to two LG G2s, if you look at the dead band it seems to line up perfectly with the power button on the back of the phone. It seems to me that pressing the power button is putting force on the digitizer from the back and 'killing' that section of the touchscreen. I've swapped the entire internals of a phone to a new digitizer that did not exhibit the issues so I don't see how it could be software related.

I'm not getting another G2.
My Tab A 9.7 has lines/flickering through about 75% of the screen (closest to the home button). The screen is still usable (though barely at times) and fully responsive to touch. I've seen some reports of a loose connection internally, but nobody seems to have the same issue as I do. Some pictures are below:

Any idea if this is repairable/what the fix would be?
Hello
First of all, if you did drop it from a considerable hight it ma be a loose connector, if not, did you flash something and after that the screen started making this lines ?
Your best move will be checking your warranty, if it doesn't apply to your tab any more, try opening it and checking for any loose connectors, mainly the screen ribbon, before that try to look for a teardown instructions for the tab, sometimes they put the cables in places where it's easy to damage if you open the device without any knowledge of how to do it safely.
I had a similar problem on a samsung phone and in my case the screen was faulty, it shows flickering bright lines just like your tab. Replacing the screen fixed the issue.
Good luck
If you broke or dropped the device, then that might be the problem. If not, then it's probably because of the firmware.
If you have not broke or dropped the device, then go to Updato.com and press OS Updates and then type in your device model and it should take about 5 minutes or more to download.
Hope I helped.
