Hey all.
I have a little problem with my phone. Now i have dropped it but that was over a month ago and this problem only arrived last night.
Basically my screen loads with coloured vertical lines, except where the start menu is at the top, that bit is fine. I've added a picture so you can see what i mean. The screen is still responsive to touch but obviously i still cant see anything lol
I've tried a soft reset with the reset button on the back and i also tried a hard reset and niether have worked. If someone could help me without me having to fork out money to send it for repair i would be most gratefull
The LCD is gone, sorry but you have to replace it.
BTW, I don't see any picture.

Definitely broken, just do a small test to be sure. Switch off the phone and boot in Bootloader (4Colors) with Volume Down and Power On botton. If the screen still the same is broken, if not you can try to format it and reinstall the rom, but to me is gone.

after i updated to the att rom update for my brothers 8525 his screen was off meaning the image would go pass the bottom and display a little on the top. also the keys on the bottom stop working, and to top it off every so often he gets a white screen any ideas on how to fix it. i was able to get the white screen to go away if i did a hard reset but after a day or so it would go back to the same way during one of my brothers hard reset he made the reset button go down and know i cant reset the device the button is not there anymore. my 8525 with the same update works fine updated on same computer.
it's a wellknown hardware bug, see here
sent it to repairs if it's still under the warranty or try this (helped me when I was experiencing the same issues)
ok i tired that i think mine is more of a software issue is there anyway to hard reset a device without usin the reset button on the bottom.

I misunderstood, I read too quickly and missed an essential part of the post. If you dismantled you may find the microswitch is just bent out of position. I do not know another way to hard reset. Obviously if you have a warranty this might not be the thing to do!

DO you know where i can find a place on how to take it apart?

ok i took it apart fixed the reset button and did the card thing dont know why that would fix it but i tired it no go. i updated to 6.0 on both devices and still white screen and no buttons working on the dpad or any thing anymore ideas thanks in advance
I think i downloaded something bad from the "Market" because when i go to turn on the phone, all i get is a black screen and the buttons light up.
I have already attempted to reset it with the Home and Power buttons
I think all i need is a firmware reflash....
please help! i really dont want to send it in to HTC!!!!
Have you tried hard reset? Call+Menu+End If that doesn't work, pull the battery.

just take the battery out...wait 3 -seconds and put it back in...its happened to me 3 times b4...not sure of the cause but thats the remedy
Turns out to be a Bad ribbon!
the same exact thing happened to me....i called tmobile n they replace my phone free of charge. what do u mean bad ribbon?
The ribbon phone for the LCD display. Phones that have slide outscreens put alot of wear on ribbon cables. My mda vario screen and touch screen both started going faulty after a year.
Once a good onscreen keyboard comes out, we wont have to slide out the screen so much

It may appear that your phone has suffered a hardware malfunction - You will either have to try and get it repaired or replaced.

Still go to a service center, seems like your screen is hardware damaged for whatever reason, never heard of this though.
Explain the situation and they might fix it for free, probably not.

10 minute..if you ask me it was super easy,easier than any phone..
Today morning wokeup with a bright day,
I saw my phone working normal
I have mahdi rom on my phone..
But theres no issue with rom or any mod is what im sure about..
I looked at my phone..
And im having a very thin blue line on the right of the screen which is probably a hardware issue as it doesnt get captured in the screenshots..
And my power button doesnt work anymore any better.. After fighting with it and has been same since 6 months.. It works..
And the line came from today morning..
When i boot the phone its in red at google logo and fades away n when completes the boot.. It comes from start with blue everywhere on screen..
I have been using the phone like 2 years and so please help me with the problem if anyone else may have came across
Do a factory reset and report back! ?
it does appear even on the twrp,bootloader and even on boot logo of circles too,
so will a factory reset solve it?

I don't think so, it is probably a hardware issue. Maybe you can check the inner parts of the phone or send it to a repair service. It seems like the connector between the motherboard and the screen is the reponsible.

Thank you for the reply,
Hope its just a connection problem cause i cant afford screen right now.. I have used my phone with soo much care and yet this happening is very sad for me..
Hi ,
I recently had a bad time getting our of the DFU mode, had to open the hand set, move things around and hoping to get through this all, now that the handset is alive again, the Back and Recent Capacitive buttons are not working, however the Home button is working fine.... I then proceeded to unlock the boot loader and loaded the Vortex rom but it still has not fixed my phone, so is this something which i screwed up during my dissembling of the phone or can this still be salvaged??

I would try and open it again to look and see if anything is loose with the connectors for the capacitive buttons.

I think maybe on the side where the battery is resting. I'll have to go take a look again to confirm but I'm in a lecture at college right now so when I have time I'll come back and confirm it.

I would be grateful !
I think it hasn't got a dedicated connector, it might be the same connector as the screen. Maybe seeing JerryRigEverything's video would be better though

Did you get a chance to find out what was the problem?
I'm not sure if Vortex ROM has this setup, however did you try the button swap in settings? I have seen this happen before with a teardown but haven't seen a solid solution.
