Sorry to hear your Magician has gone bad...
Of course you can buy a replacement screen, but it's rather expensive and a true heartbreaker if it still doesn't work. I think your best bet is to take it to a professional and have it checked out. Only then will you find out what has happened and how expensive it will be.
Normally, if you drop your phone in water, you should just pull the battery right away and let the phone dry in room temperature for at least 24 hours, before trying to power it up again. Be careful of hairdriers and radiators, which might turn a bad thing worse. Don't ever try to disassemble until you know for a fact that it is the last option.

Thanks for your responce..i think i should sent the phone to qtek service centre....

Phone is dead???

My Orange SPV has died on me - did it yesterday, just went blank and wouldnt turn on, then after battery removal and fiddling it burst back into life and was fine. Today it did the same, but it won't come back - I thought it was a flat battery, but its still the sames with a fresh charged one. When I plug the phone into the charging cradle, the 'phone live' light shows red.
Any suggestions how to fix it ? - the unit is bog-standard, and I havn't done anything to kill it.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks

it is the problem of hardware not the software
if know hard ware then i told you what to do !!!!
for softely done
my suggestions is keep you spv to charging for hole night and look at morning
what happen????
may it help you

hey i chek hardware it okay i try fill charge bettery also

hi chirag
if know the hardware then heat up the processor with blowergun or hotairgun what ever you call it but put the liquide solder past on it first then in hotairgun the temp on 4 and air on 4 or 5 and blow for 1.5 to 2 min on processor and disk on chip or ram give the hot air to it after that put ipa on it and clean the hole thing put your display and battery and make hard rest or flash fresh rom on it .
i think its work for you
the reson of boot up failure
is because the extrem use of your phone is make the bollgride which is connecting your processor and motherbord Drysolder in it after this action all drysolder is resolder to its place and its start reworking
Thanks

Overheating causes screen problems?

Hi all.
Lately I'm facing a strange problem with my device.
when I navigate with it in a sunny day,
or talking on the phone while charging,
the devices gets hot and the screen goes down.
I can hear that the device is working and the buttons is working, but the
touchscreen is 'dead'. its all black.
Even a softreset won't fix it, the device goes up without the screen.
To fix it I need to pull out the battery for like 2 minutes untill the device gets cold.
is it hardware problem? Anyone else experienced any of these problems?
Thanks!

...ehem...

try to charge it via USB and not a car charger. Is there any difference now?
IMHO you should replace the device

the same problem
Hi
I have the same problem than you
I can use my Polaris in my computer with MyMobiler application but the sceen it's always black.
Sometimes when I do a Hard reset and press button left side it's OK but after some days it's comming again.
I think is not a hardware probleme but software problem.
Do you have resolve your probleme ?

I haven't resolve the problem yet.

the screen getting black is due to the nature of how a display works. i dont know of it actually damages the device, but i strongly believe so.
the working conditions of the device are written down in the manual, if you exceed those they might not replace your unit. this of course sucks, but it *is* written down to not expose the unit to direct sunlight.

I didn't know about the exposing to the sun ...
well, I hope it isn't got damaged badly.
thanks.

As I said, I'm not sure about the damage part, I could be completely wrong. I just think it *could* be...
If it doesnt change and the device gets unusuable all the time, I'd suggest you send it in for a replacement. Maybe you really got a bad unit, who knows.
Edit: I just thought of stuff which is usually written down in manuals and the glovebox problem popped in my mind: devices stored in the glovebox of your car are breaking down because of the sheer heat which builds up when the car is standing in the sun for a long time. All sorts of displays usually break or get completely black until the unit could cool down again... And in the glovebox they werent even exposed to direct sunlight, its just the heat...

hello. I have same problem. But i can't catch situation when it appears. I think, the sun is not an main culprit, because my phone goes down, when i
playing games in the room! may be it's overheating, but cooling doesn't help me.
To fix it, i do several soft resets (sometimes more then 300 ). Sometimes one reset helps, sometimes no. I think, it is hardware problem. Also i have problems with my camera (colormess). May be they are connected.
I will try to send it to service.

Hey, i put my device into refrigerator, and screen is working . I have tried to reanimate it since yesterday. Battery unplugging didn't help.

F*******K!!!
After ten minutes in the room with temperature near 20 C it's black again.
Can be problem with temperature sensor?

Don't put it in the refrigerator without putting it in a plastic bag or something. Moisture can kill it.

i put it into plastic pack.
But i think, that I'll kill it myself by throwing in the wall

Hm, question:
Where does temperature sensor dislocated? In battery or in PDA?

Well,
In the lab they told me my Board damaged up.
total-lost

What kind of damage?

this problem i faced it two times ,one of them when i put it inside my car and the AC was runing (cold) and my screen became black
and the other time it happened in a hot condition (also in my car)
realy this is very strange
and the solution for both to remove the battery for a while

earpiece stopped working...

The Earpiece of my Vox just stopped working. Anybody else had this problem or knows a solution? Could it have something to do with the Win6.1 Rom from Gonzo?

Hi Bunecarera,
had exactly the same problem today.
I made a hard reset- hasn´t change a thing.
While I was driving home, my battery went emty. So my vox was without power for a few hours.
After that (while preparing for sendigt it to htc) i gave him a last try - and it worked!
So, I would propose that you remove your battery and wait for a few hours.
But now I have the problem, that i can´t establish a usb connection to my pc :-( It´s just charging... but no data connection.
I keep trying...
Roman

@NamorGermany
Change the USB cable

@matrix77
thanks for you tip, but i already knew this issue...
tried several diffrent cable... doesn´t change anything!

Aaah, i went into the bootloader... now the ROM-Update is working!
I´m really glad. Thanks secable (it was his post).
(Bootloader = Phone of, hold camera-button, plug USB-cable in)
@Bunecarera
I will let you know if the Rom downgrade (to original HTC Rom) will solve our problem. But I think its a hardware matter... :-(

It Worked!! Don't have an explanation for it, but it started working again after removing the battery for a couple of hours.
Strange, very strange...

My ear piece stopped working too. I found that hitting my phone on something hard brought it back to life. My casing is already damaged so i didnt mind! So anyway I waited til my warranty ran out and then took my phone apart to have a look at the ear piece. After taking the entire phone apart to get to it i found that the ear piece is connected using very thin, bearly 1mm cable. Mine has a dodgy connection but only very slightly where it meets a connector, most probably from all the drops my phone has had. But my advise would be for you to contact htc if your within warranty. I did before about my battery and a got new one!
FYI I did try to fix the connector but as the cable is soo small its too risky.
Hope this helps a bit! If at all lol.

Mine became very distorted a little while ago, I simply flick the earpiece when it happens and it solves it, heh.

[HELP] Phone boots up only when cold ?!?!

Hi people,
I have a question, I've been reading these forums a lot but now I have a problem that I don't really understand:
My HTC Trinity that has served me well does not want to boot at normal temeratures 21C - 70F. The akward thing is that if I put it in the freezer for 10 mins, it starts working , doesn't get hot. As it reaches 20+C it freezez or doesn't want to wake up from sleep anymore.
Any ideas as to why this happens it's clearly a hardware fail but what part of it ?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it's the battery......did you tried it with other batteries....?

It maybe that you have a poor connection within the phone being affected by thermal expansion. Might also be moisture condensation in your phone (made worse if repeatedly placed in and out of a freezer) that requires drying out.

I'm guessing it's not the battery as when I put it in the freezer I take the battery out. Also, while the phone is off the battery charges normally, without heating up or anything.
The theory of a faulty contact makes more sense but then which one ? I do now have a star shaped screw driver with me (I'm travelling for the moment) but I'll try and open the phone once I get back to a more tinkering friendly environment.
I have put it since in a drawer and it has been waiting for me quietly. In the mean time I bought a Sony Xperia X1 which is an excellent phone. I would still try to fix my trinity, I'd use it exclusively as a GPS if it works.
Any other theories as to why this might happen or what should I do to fix it?
Thanks guys for the useful replies !

When issue occurs will it power up plugged into charger?
As BundyR stated there is a poor connection somewhere. Also known as a "cold solder joint". The trick will be having device apart but still being able to power it up at the same time and start poking around with a toothpick and a magnifying glass starting with the battery contacts and moving on from there.
good day.
