My screen ocasionally shakes and turns half white and half with black stripes on a white background, it recoveres after i put it in standby.
I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem because if i press the phone (i press the top part against the qwerty keyboard part) the shaking goes off but the screen still turns white. I have sean a video on youtube on how to fix this but i don;t know how true it is and i don;t belive that is the solution. back home i have a spare motherboard... but home is farrrr away so i am looking for another solution.
I changed the rom thinking that was causing it but it was not. i am thinking about overclocking the cpu , maybe that will help ( you can see that i am desperate )
I hope you can come up with a solution.
thank you for taking your time to read my post.
since i did the trick presented on youtube i don;t have that screen shaking problem.. this is 1st day , i will come back after a week and tell you if it really works

So after installing the WM6 ROM Core 2.0 and using it for a while i started to get this white screen, after using it for about a month, that would keep on appearing if unless i had the keyboard slightly slid out. So i decided to switch to Faria's Pro ROM Kitchen hoping it would fix it, but it didn't. This white screen that keeps popping up covers the entire screen and nothing i do seems to make it stop. This screen is really annoying especially when trying to watch movies and when coming out of wakeup and receiving phone calls, as it covers the whole screen not allowing me to see. Is there a way to fix this so this white screen does not keep coming up. I would really appreciate the Help.
What do you mean exactly by "white screen coming up" ???
Does your screen turn blanc or is there a window popping up?
If you can do the following without having too much trouble with backing up and stuff like that: install you shipped ROM for a while and see if it still appears!
Other than that I guess there is a hardware problem!
Well its a blank screen that covers up the whole screen its not like a window the whole screen just turns white. I did install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM when i switched to Faria's WM6 ROM, but it still was there for the short time i had it.
Do you have your phone passworded? That causes a white screen to come up just after you wake your phone if you don't have it set to ask for the password upon wakeup. It usually goes away after about half a second but maybe yours is sticking there for some reason. Try turning off your password and see if that fixes it. You may not want to keep your phone without password protection but at least you'll know whats causing the white screen. You might also try changing the "prompt if device unused for" to a longer duration and see if that maybe helps.
well i dont have a password set, so i dont think it is the password, the thing is that it doesnt only come up after wakeup, if the device does not have the keyboard slid out slightly it will come up just after about 40 secs. Sometimes it comes up right in the middle of me doing something like changing some options. If i have the keyboard slid out all the way it will do the same thing. It only does not come up if the first rows of keys at the bottom of the keyboard are visible. Has this happened to anyone else? is there a way to fix this?
Someone help PLEASE.
Sounds like your phone is undecided whether it wants to go into portrait or landscape mode..
What do you mean? if my phone has the keyboard closed then after about 20-40 secs the entire screen will turn white, then when i slide the keyboard out just slightly the screen goes away, and as long as i have the keyboard slightly slid out the screen wont turn white. I am thinking of sending my MDA in to get a Wing, does anyone know if i am allowed to do this since my MDA is acting werid?
friends,
In my X1 screen right top corner a yellow light (some thing like we see in pic tube of monitor) is this a display complaint..when i make the background black that corner is not getting exact black..it is not visible in day light..
plsss help me... i bought the phone yesterday...am so much worried...
It's normal. Please search before posting next time. Thanks.
really is it normal..does all X1 has the same..?
Yes. It looks like you're pressed the area hard for long periods of time, right?
Yes Exactly like tat.. my friend, y is it kept like tat?
Thanks a lot.. am little relaxed by ur reply ..
i think it's called screen burns. regularity of pressing at the spot too often i reckon. but ey, its normal in all lcd screen. unless you'd want a crt screen for your xperia. but it is normal, don't wworry. mine aint yellow tho, mine is bright white lol
mine is not yellow, its actually bright white.
Pissed me off first time i saw it, but i got use to it now
Look here...
Check out these posts which all relate to exactly the same thing -actually not as obvious as you might think to search for, as its variously called screen burn, light leakage, even screen fade...

Screen went white & buttons didn't work.. took to get phone fixed... and...now buttons work but the screen has a weird yellow tint
what is the problem, and how to fix
bump. anyone?
Can you say a bit more about it. How strong is this yellow tint. Can you upload a picture.
It's difficult to know if this is caused by a new screen that has a faint yellow tinge or whether it's a definite fault.

My phone started getting the white screen issue, the buttons stopped working.
When I'd turn the display on, it would be all white, id have to press it a few times then it would be ok, the buttons seized to function.
I took it to get fixed, the buttons now fully work, but the screen has a weird yellow tint all over. It didn't have it before. I was mad at the repair shop, the guy told me that its the LCD screen connector cable or whatever... but I don't believe him, as he doesn't seem to know wtf he is saying..
please help
Mine started doing this recently. Screen fades to white and nothing works but I can still hear if I'm on the phone. For me, turning it off and back on resolves the issue (I can see the display again). I suppose some aren't so lucky..
More than likely the LCD connector cable has a problem. Why he didn't fix it, I have no idea. If you feel up to taking it apart, you may be able to push the connector in further, OR you could buy a new screen. Then again...
Hi there
I have rebuilt many hermes with the same problems. I researched the issues on here and elsewhere - Its nearly always related to the entire Dpad/cable/connections . I have repaired nearly all of these quite simply by dismantling them and adjusting/cleaning and reassembling them - things move and get out of contact etc and this is what happens with these - get a torx driver and have a go - after a few tries you will usually solve the problem
Happy to assist anybody who would like a hand
Kind regards

Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.
If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.

Thanks for the replies, it seems that it has fixed its self as I've been using it for about 5 hours and no problems so far, I'm using it right now to type this, if the problem persists I will try and fix it or just buy a new one
Hello good folks,
I would like a bit of help with sorting my phone out. As of Thursday morning (2 AM or so) my phone has a black screen. The phone switches on, the touchscreen works (I can unlock it, put it to silent, hold the power key and tap the places on screen that would normally switch it off to do just that), the volume keys work, I can receive calls, the back light works.
Everything is as it should be, but I cant see a damn thing!
I should note that this happened once before, about a month ago and a few hours later it was back to normal. Also, I have noticed over the past few months a very small black circle at the top edge of the screen, about half a centimetre in diameter.
Please help!
Kindest regards.
It's the first time I read such an issue, your screen's probably defective.
To eliminate a probable OS issue, does the bootloader appear flawlessly ?
No, nothing appears at all. The screen is completely black at all times!
Your screen is malfunctioning, I don't know what's causing it and I don't know if you can fix it yourself either.
I think you are better off sending it back, if still under warranty.
Otherwise, ... ?
This just happened to me NOW....I'm waiting hopefully it will fix itself as i hear the HD2 heals itself LOL
