Hey guys...
So, I have my Desire Z since about 4 weeks and nothing went wrong with it.
Really NOTHING bad happened, it didn't fall on the floor, didn't fall into water, etc etc.
So this afternoon I unlocked it and suddenly I got a blank grey screen.(worked perfect in the morning) The phone did react to my power up/on button, but I couldn't see what I was doing. Also the touchscreen worked, because I could unlock it (I heard the unlock noise) but I only get a blank grey screen.
I tried Bootloader and Battery pull. Also I took out my SD/SIM/Battery and just blow through the whole phone but nothing want to happen:-(
By the way, my phone is fully rooted and running on Cyanogenmod7 since 5 days. Everything worked perfect until this afternoon...
EDIT:
Looks just like this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f368/forthcomingtangent/DSCI1196.jpg

Yesterday, I was watching netflix, when out of the blue my xoom screen went really dark. At first I thought it froze up/randomly shut off, so I did the power+up vol reset, and it rebooted, but the Motorola logo was so dark I could hardly see it. It would still boot up just fine, but everything was so faded that I had to hover right over the screen and squint in order to see it. I was able to navigate around a little bit, till the screen went totally blank(on, but black).
I tried playing with it just a couple minutes ago but it wont turn on, which hopefully means the battery finally died so I can recharge it to see if that makes any difference(I dont think it will, but crossing my fingers anyways).
Now..I'm THINKING this is a hardware issue because even in recovery, the screen was still super super faded. I've restarted it since the screen went totally blank, and Its got nothing now. My rom I'm using was a Team EOS nightly, I think from some time last month, and I have a Canadian market wifi xoom.
P.S. The power button will still turn the screen on and off..and after the screen went black It still made the 14% battery left noise.
Any suggestions at all!? As appealing as the Nexus 7 is..I like my xoom..and I dont feel like spending money on another tablet when i've only had this one since last April.
TL;DR My xoom screen went so dark the colors were pretty much non existent, and the screen was still super faded in recovery/during the boot sequence. Now it only responds to the power button some of the time, and will reset(I'm assuming)when I hold UP VOL+Power. I'm using an older EOS Nightly, and This happened out of the blue with only a slight over clock.
Screen being super dark is usually the back light. Sorry I can't help.
Unfortunately sounds like your LCD back light is broken. So what you're going to have to do is replace the whole LCD screen on the XOOM which can cost quite a bit. Good luck!
Shameless selfbump, but interesting thing is the backlight comes on, just nothing shows up. Did the xoom just manage to brick itself in the middle of a movie on netflix? Also, If I plug the xoom into my computer, the prompt pops up almost immediately showing all the stuff that is ON the xoom. Thoughts?
So about an hour ago, I tried turning on my HOX from sleep, and to my horror I SAW NOTHING ON THE SCREEN.
After a while, I found out that the touchscreen was still responsive, and the bottom buttons were still lit. I tried to hard reset t by holding down the power button, but when my phone would restart, I would feel the vibration, but the boot screen/splash screen/EVERYTHING was pitch black - nothing showed up on my screen.
So I played around with it, knowing that my phone was on, but I couldn't see anything. I figured out after a while that if I pressed REALLY hard on the edges of my phone, my phone would flicker on - which proved to me that it was some sort of backlight issue.
All of a sudden, about 5 minutes ago, my backlight returned and everything is back to normal.
But now, I'm deathly afraid that it might happen again. What should I do? Should I go and get a replacement? Was this a freak occurrence? I'm on edge here :\
Why are you asking?! Go get that sucker replaced!
I'm hesitant because my current phone is rooted-ROMed-customized like crazy, and I was hoping someone would say something like "Yeah that's a one-time freak accident kind of thing", which would make it so I don't have to redo everything, haha.
Well in any case, since I'm here now already (and I know I can search the development forum) - what's the state on rooting/unlocking the bootloader for the newest HOX firmwares? Are there any issues with rooting/unlocking? Or is it a pain-free process like it was back in June-Julyish when I got mine?
lol I would def return it. I had similar issue . Here is a link for any rooting needs as well as how to relock and unroot your phone.

They will most likely honor the warranty because it could have just as easily happened to a non rooted phone.
Replace it.

Entire Screen is color dotted I cant see anything rebooting the phone wont work taking out the battery wont work. Ive taken best care of this phone and had a case mate, never even dropped it on top of having a case mate, what seems to be the problem? Its very aggravating going to bed with a phone working waking up finding out that your phone wont ever display anything again, I had this problem 1 night before this happened the night before it happened for about 10 mintues so I ignored it got home from school took a nap, and its permanent. any ideas? thank you
Maybe it is dead or stuck pixels
I had an issue which was similar to yours a couple of months ago. Actually my phone fell and some black spots appeared on the screen. First I thought am screwed badly cause they kept on spreading all over the screen. But after I searched internet, I found some information on this topic. There are some softwares on play store which help to find and remove stuck pixels. But, in my case they weren't useful. So I searched more and found a thread on xda where a member with the same phone had the same issue. He kept his phone in the fridge everyday for a few hours and eventually the dead pixels came to life. I followed the same thing and my phone came to life in a matter of days. Thanks to him, now my phone is perfectly fine. If you have stuck pixels, then you can try those play store softwares. Just search dead pixel on play store and check what you need. Stuck pixels are colored dots on the screen and dead pixels are black dots on the screen.

Hey guys,
I moved back to stock(2.17 4.1.2 FW) after using cm11 for a while, and it worked like a charm. Suddenly, as I was going home from school, the display stopped working. Backlight, touch, sound, haptic feedback and the rest of the phone still work. Then I flashed stock FW again, but nothing changed. I turned the phone on, but there was no picture on the display. Then, after turning the phone off, I let it stay at home and chill for a while. I turned it on and the display somehow worked normally. Anyway, as i turned it off, and plugged in the charger, there were some f'd up pixels on bootsplash, and a REALLY f'd up battery animation (two batteries with heavily distorted position and colors).
Needless to say, there was no picture ever since.
I flashed stock again, locked the bootloader (no TA backup ), and my warranty is still up for six months or so. I found warranty papers(with seller signature, IMEI and stuff), but I'm having trouble finding the receipt for a week now :crying:
Any advice on what to do if I don't find the receipt? (besides from crying like a little biatch knowing we have lollipop now)
Should I replace it myself(Ebay or something), or find someone who could repair it cheaply?

Try sending it to sony's centre first..i think they have database about your phone's warranty..doesn't need receipt at all.
Dear All,
I have a strange problem with my beloved HTC Desire S which I gave a year ago as a gift to my mother.
Yesterday she dropped her bag in which the phone was inside.
The phone worked fine for a few minutes (the bag of course protected it from the fall) but after a few calls withing 15 minutes the screen went black and its not recovered since.
The phone goes on you can hear the htc tune but still you dont see anything.
The control keys light up at touch but nothing else is visible.
I tried to switch it off (pulled out the battery) and try hard reset(power key and volume down) but it wont even do that.
Any ideas on how to fix this are welcome and will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help
