This just happened like 45min-1hr ago. I was getting everything cleaned up before i got off of work and i was texting someone and my phone froze, so i soft resetted. it turned back on then it froze again so i once again soft resetted then i put it back in my pocket. i heard the sound the phone plays whenever it turns on and was like okay it's back on everything will be fine. i took it out and the screen is black. i thought it was on sleep mode or w/e but it wasnt. i took out my battery and put it back in and turned it on but the screen is once again black. anyone know how to fix it? i think my screen is broken
i have a touch pro also.
Possibly not the answer you want but have you tried hard-resetting the device? OK it wiped everything but at least you might get a working device from it. Had to do it once on my Trinity, it locked up on receiveing an SMS and a soft reset wouldn't complete, hard reset cured it.
just a regular hard reset? vol down center button. my cousin came over and said it mighta been my backlight? just tried turning it on again and it's real dim but i can barely see the screen.
I was thinking a regular hard reset, but as you have some display, albeit very dull have you checked the backlight hasn't got itself turned all the way down?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how would i check if the backlight is all the way down?
Go into the backlight settings and see where the sliders are.
tricky i know when the screen is very dull, but it might be possible.
that's not probable. minimal backlight doesn't mean black screen.. unless it's a device i'm completely unfamiliar with... tho it is still unprobable.
as deedee suggested, i'd hard-reset
I'm having the same problem, did you find a fix?

I'm not sure how many people, if any, have experience with this phone, but I'm taking a shot in the dark because I am completely out of options here. The phone is similar to the Cect M88, and the other Cect iPhone-clones available, although I'm not sure how similar the button layout is.
I installed PCM Keyboard last night, and all was working fine until this afternoon, when all of a sudden, my phone wouldn't wake up. I ended up having to pull the battery in order to get it to restart, but then it wouldn't boot past the Windows Mobile screen (the first one - didn't even make it to the second screen).
After several attempts to hard reset (top volume button + camera button + power button), I was able to get it reset, but even though active sync was running, folders weren't showing up properly on the phone itself. I did a soft reset, and folders then showed up, but this time active sync wouldn't load on the phone. Several more soft resets did nothing, but I kept trying, and finally... the phone froze up again to the point where it hung on the Windows Mobile screen again. Now, despite all attempts, I can't even get it to hard reset. When I push all buttons from an off state, the screen will turn blue (which seems to indicate some kind of resetting is going on since it normally goes straight to the WM screen) and then a few seconds later, the Windows Mobile screen will come up and hang. I've tried every combination of buttons possible, and I've tried hard resetting probably a good 20-30 times since this happened. I've removed the SIM card, removed the SD card... I've basically tried hard resetting seemingly every way possible, and yet it still will not reset and load up WM 6.0 pro like it should.
Any ideas on how I can get this thing to at least move past the WM screen? If I'm totally unable to hard reset, what would be the next best course of action? Since this is an off-brand phone with no support or any kind of warranty, are there repair places out there that can restore the OS? Is that something I can do myself? (Phone didn't come with any software or anything.) I'm at a loss here... I really don't want to end up with a $200 blue flashlight/paperweight. I know I took my chances when I bought it, but well... this stinks.
worked
hey man i know its old and hopefully you still have your phone.. ok what you need to do is let the phone die completely so you may have to keep the blue screen on and keep turning it on till your phone does this like you i have hard reseted serveral time to no avail but when the phone died i took out the battery plugged it in to the wall charger placed the battery in the phone let the red led light by the camera light up then i turned it on and before the screen could show the splash i did the hard reset phone is aye ok !! hope this helps man.. your post helped me..

The other day, I hit the power button on my touch pro, and the screen didn't come on. I did a soft reset, and it started working again. Now today, the same thing is happening, but a soft reset isn't helping.
The screen's back light comes on, the LEDs on the buttons come on, and the phone seems to be working fine. I hear all the sounds, including the HTC sound while it is booting, and the new message sound, but the screen stays black. It still recognizes touches, it just doesn't show an image. I want to do a hard reset, and will if I can get it to come one one more time, but its been about a month since I backed up my contact list. Lesson learnt there. I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem since I don't see anything while its booting either.
Anyone know if this is a known hardware issue with the touch pro? The phone is less then 3 months old, and I've been real careful with it. I haven't dropped it from more then 2 feet, and even that was onto carpet. Its the Verizon version if that makes a difference, and I'm running one of the NFSFAN roms. Its not the newest one, but rather the one posted on October 19th. I doubt its the rom, though, as I've been using it for around 2 months with no issues.
EDIT: Ok, I went into the bootloader to see if it was hardware of software. I figured if it was hardware, the screen would be black, and if it was software, it would be the rainbow. Sure enough, the screen stayed black. Hit the reset button, and the screen actually came on! Go figure. Went to do a backup, and the screen literally crapped out on me while I was watching it. Definitely a hardware problem.
similar with Touch HD... kinda
I've been having a similar problem with my Touch HD. The problem is very intermittent though and is sometimes hard to reproduce. The screen and phone will be working fine then once in a while when I push the power button to lock the phone, I'll unlock it and the screen stays black. I know that the phone is still on and even unlocked because pushing the buttons at the bottom makes the phone vibrate. The only consistency in reproducing the problem happens after I do something major on the phone such as making a phone call, browsing the internet, sometimes charging the phone. Other than that, I can sit here and push the power button all day and it'll come on and off with no problems. When the screen does go black I've taken the battery out repeatedly as well as repeatedly rebooted the phone until it comes back on. I've tried doing hard and soft resets to no avail. I've tried deactivating "turn off backlight if device is not used for" and "turn off device if not used for" without any resolve. After this I've even left the screen on (disabled backlight off) to see if it flickers or shows any sign of being faulty and it seems to be fine. I'm currently on Dutty's HD WM 6.5 Leo R5 WWE rom, but this has happened with two other roms (NRG, LIA). Other info include:
OS: 5.2.23016
Manila: 2.519192828.0
Radio: 1.14.25.24
Protocol: 52.64.25.34H
I guess the only consistent software has been my radio. Please help! Any advice would be awesome. I've tried google search and xda search without much help. Thanks
When i upgraded to the tilt 2 I gave my fuze to my fiance. It was working great until a few days ago. she was having some issues with the touch screen regestering her touches. I fixed that with a hard reset. She was running the stock ATT rom at the time. after the hard reset it seemed to work better, but there was another problem i noticed afterwards.... the backlight for the screen does not turn off. whe i hit the power button to turn the screen off, the screen goes black, but the backlight stays on. I tried messing with the power settings, but that didn't work, so i tried the next option which was to do a clean install of a custom rom. I flashed the most current energy rom. did another hard reset after the flash, and still the backlight will not turn off. she is going through batteries real fast and i cant figure out what the cause is.... Afte hard resetting and re flashing, i can only assume this is a hardware issue. however I am out of warranty. I would really like to find a way to get this fixed, so she can use the phone. Unfortunately, if I can not fix theis problem SHE IS GOING TO MAKE ME BUY HER AN IPHONE!!!!!. please help me avoid turning her over to the dark side.
thanks
Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks
The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?
Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks
Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck
So i am at home playing with my Xoom fine before going to work. I place it in it's padded bag and get in my car to go to work. No bumps, no bangs, no drops. I get into work and pull it out to play with it some more and the screen is dead, or so it seems. Backlight not coming on. So i think it is dead and force a soft reboot, still can see nothing, i try a few more times, finally i notice if i hold it in just the right light i can see the screen fine, it was rebooting, but the backlight wasn't showing.
I let it finish booting and if i hold the screen in just he right light i can see the live wallpaper moving, so i know the screen is on and working, i can click icons and everything, but the backlight still won't light up. Had to stumble my way to brightness in settings, really hard to do when you can barely make out the screen. Set it to auto, nothing, set it to fully bright, stil nothing.
Is this a hardware issue? Or could i have some random software glitch? I rebooted three times now, hoping it would change. Nope. Stock software, no root, nothing. Had it for almost a month now. This sucks.
