new thrive has red line running down the screen - Thrive General

i just bought my toshiba thrive and has a red line running down the right side of the screen wtf!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you have a bad connection or video card. The first thing I would try is go into recovery and do a factory reset. See if the red line is still there. If so, take it back.

white screen of death....

ok heres what iv done about a month ago i was at my friends house
and decided to conect to the wireless network shortly after loading the home page the wireless disconected. i was unable to turn wireless on after that and since then my systems just litteraly shut-down 1 by one i lost abilitie to send sms. then i lost abilitie to even answer phonecalls id click answer and it would disconect straight away. and then this morning i turned it on and it just goes to instant white screen i cant even load bootloader it only shows a whitescreen no matter what i do. i cant think of anything else to try iv had a look on the forums and everyone just says to load the bootloader by pressing camera button and power button but it still goes to whitescreen the led at the top of the phone flashes red then about 2 seconds later goes to whitescreen my computer doesnt even pick it up now either is the phone just "dead" or can it be recovered?
alright heres an update to my atom so far iv managed to get rid of the whitescreen but cant for the life of me get past this new screen its just rainbow lines it looks as though all the lines on the screen going top to bottom have been coloured a diferent color
anyone know how to fix it? iv tried camera plus reset button and same thing

Red Or Yellow reset button?

I have had about 4 HD2'S already until this one (4th) other 3 with alot of problems
I noticed the reset button on the Back under the battery cover next to SD card is yellow not red like the other 3 i have had.
My girl friend has had 3 HD2's since all Red buttoned nothing but problems, same goes with 2 people at work Red reset button and nothing but problems.
What color do you have?
Do you have any issues with the One having the red reset button?
Has me thinking????????
Glad i have a Yellow button lol
I have a yellow. I haven't had any problems besides the phone refusing to wake up once. And, once, it totally send a SMS to a different person. As in, in the thread I intended it for, the person never got it, but some other random person did. Man, was that awkward. I was totally talking about something full-retard to something else and it sends it to this girl. Thanks, HD2.
I've got a red reset button, and no problems. They changed from red to yellow because people were confusing it with a moisture indicator. They saw the red and on moisture indicators that means moisture damage. So they changed it to yellow so theres no confusion. I don't think theres any other hardware difference. The yellow ones may have newer rom version, though, since they are newer. But once you flash it, it doesn't make a difference.
Mine has red since i bought first day it came out... It used to freeze lot untill i flashed "ship" stock, which can be found here, since then my phone is working smoothly except for horrable the 3g connection and the music tap is to slow (i guess because I have to many songs).
Yellow here, never a glitch. runs like a champ and battery last about 2 days or so.
Yellow, originial stock ROM....zero issues.
Interesting supposition. I have a yellow button, and stock ROM. Only noticeable problem is that occasionally the phone will just be lying there and switch itself to an application ... without being touched.
Red
Red. No Problems, Stock Rom. I don't think having different colored reset button changes anything. Its the same hardware and same ROM version... But I guess whatever makes you happy. If having yellow solves your problems then yellow it is. lol..
Yellow, 2.13 ROM, no problems...save for the recent battery drain since ROM upgrade (I think)
I have a red button, and my wife has a yellow. I've had problems with freezing, usually when trying to wakeup the phone after the backlight has automatically shut down. The phone buttons will light up, but the screen stays black, necessitating a battery removal and restart. My wife has had none of these problems.
I've been running stock and was hopeful the new ROM update (2.13) would be the cure, but the problem continued. Tried a new class 6 SD card, disable sense timeouts, clear ram, etc...
Finally decided to flash a custom ROM, chose Dutty's and have been stable so far...
Perhaps the yellow/red button does have some meaning, but the problem is with a small sample of various forum users, the sample pool is not really big enough to know for sure.
Red button, stock 2.10 rom, not really a lot of problems... Usual glitches, like an app that I didn't press might start. Or won't wake up from lockscreen. But runs pretty well for me.
red = made in Taiwan, yellow = made in China....Maybe??? Look under battery
Bought TMOUS version on release day, and 1st one was bad, kept crashing & locking up. Sent it back for replacement (wirefly.com) and I've had the 2nd one ever since, red button, and it's working fine, aside from the various known build issues.
i have just brought t-mobile hd2 from ebay
and from my research i have found out that hd2 with yellow colour reset had lot of problem with the screen digitizer and htc later made some hardware changes and all the phone released later are of red colour.
so red colour hd2 has less screen problems

If that were true, why do all of us who bought TMOUS on the first day have red reset buttons? RED no problems.

Red ones were made first, then later it was changed to yellow. I bought mine on first day of release and have a red reset button.

[Q] Boot up screen

I installed Euro firmware, on the second flash everything just stay'ed black, and I waited awhile till I decided to power off then power back on. First thing I saw was AT&T connect boot screen, then it went black but I can still hear Samsung's power up theme, also device has a Vertical Line running down the right side. I noticed that If I press power button twice Tab comes on, and everything looks great, so I rooted my device and installed Titanium Backup,Everything seems okay. So my question is how do I get rid of the AT&T Boot logo and to be able to see Samsung logo on boot?
\\\\\\\Exactly what happens on fresh boot/////
-fresh boot- AT&T Connected screen comes up, then screen goes black with the line on the right, then Samsung's power up theme song comes on buttons light up screen stays black line goes away, then screen still black, then to initialize the screen I press power button twice. Comes on and works fine.
****Would love to fix that part, I would be most greatfull for life! Willing to pass on info, to all who want more!****
*need help on pre-installed boot screen*

Install euro firmware with bootloaders. JJ4 is good one since it's bootloader is not signed. Then you can install newer euro firmware over it.
However, so far there is no known way to go back to AT&T bootloaders. So you ca't fully restore to AT&T if needed.

[Q] i9505: crazy screen, then nothing. Ideas?

I bought an i9505x from eBay, before realising that the "x" signified a shop display demo model, which has the SIM socket disabled.
I then bought a working, unlocked i9505 logic board from eBay to replace the dummy one.
I received both and the demo unit was in immaculate condition, booted and displayed "Galaxy S5, Live Demo" on splash screen startup. Everything worked apart from SIM of course. All sensors, camera, WiFi... everything apart from mobile networking.
I then swapped the demo board for the full logic board (and added the thin antenna cable that runs down the side of the screen as this wasn't present on the demo phone). The phone booted and received telephony and internet from both the giffgaff and three SIM cards I tried in it. Everything else worked.
I rooted/CWM'ed it and upgraded the ROM to 4.3 or 4.4 (can't remember which one) and it worked OK for maybe two days and I went to work. When I got back from work my girlfriend said it had been displaying green lines and dots on the screen so she turned it off and put it on charge.
I had a look and there were intermittent rolling pale green lines quickly moving up and down the screen on boot, with a few dots the same colour at seemingly random intervals. After leaving the battery out for 30 mins and putting on charge for 30 mins I managed to get it to boot into ROM and all seemed well until I tried to reboot and the lines/dots happened again, with the dots getting worse.
In a tiny font on the display it seemed to have a line of text, but as it was so small and scrolling about I couldn't read it. A couple of boots later and the screen is totally blank.
I've flashed a stock 4.3 ROM on it by guessing the download key combination, as there's no display for download mode. Odin responded correctly, showed a connected device and went through the ten minute flash process and rebooted the phone.
The phone now boots and makes the Samsung startup tune and once booted I get the volume adjust bleeps when I press volume up/down so I know the ROM has booted but the screen is totally dead. I even get the initial blue LED for a couple of seconds on boot.
I'm going to try swapping the demo board back in today to prove if the screen is dead or not.
If the screen is OK then could it be the GPU portion of the logic board?
If so, what are the chances of me swapping chips around? I imagine this would be an impossibly tricky job to do at home.
Thanks for reading.
How much have you laid out so far £££ ?
