No Brick just ... Screen replacement....
Thanks. I have been stressing so hard on trying to figure it out. I was afraid of buying a screen and wasting my money. And bricking it was the closest thing I could find to a solution. Thanks again for the help. And I wasn't rooting or flashing it or anything.

I have read this forum and many other internet sites until mys eyes cross!
I have Sprint HTC Touch Pro2 running winmo 6.5. duelboot android.
I have flashed many times and the problem isnt fixing itself.
Its like when my backlight goes to sleep I cant wake it up. I can still here the
phone ring and answer it.. just cant see anything after it has gone to sleep.
In Android i dont have this problem..
Anyone know where the registry is to do some editing??
Your help would be so APPRECIATED!!
Thanks in Advance.. Tammy

I Have the same issue. I Recently tried to flash back to 6.5, and somehow it all went wrong and i got the white screen of death. i could get to the boot loader(tri color) screen but it would just go right back to that White back ground with Green letters 'htc'. Now I finally found the post that helped getting to that tricolor screen then loading rom. IT WORKED! then i tried the sleep/ pwr button and sure enough it STILL WON'T WAKE!!!! Seems like the only answer is to break down and get the droidX. but i need windows for a 3rd party program i use....so i might just stick to the lil slide fone i have as a back up...
I just leave the light on 30% if Im expecting any txts or calls, when Im not I just turn the light out I can still hear incoming calls and if I hear a couple txt I pull the battery and stick it back in so that I can see the screen again.. its all I can do for now.
Im amazed with so many smart folks here I havent had anyone offer any fix's yet??
I have been hoping for easy registry fix.
Good Luck and please let me know if you get any help with yours??
yes, its becoming a problem. pulling out the battery to get the screen is more damage than good
Hey all,
I charged my newly Sensation for a whole 24 hours. At the beginning the red LED was on, and it changed after a while to a green light, as it suppose to be.
I was out for couple of hours, and when I came back- the phone won't turn on.
The screen is (sometimes) turned on, and it like screen-black and not off-black. I tried to pull out the battery, and it didn't helped.
None of my computers recognize the device, and the little LED don't light up if it connected to charger nor to the USB.
Is there anyway I can do reset?
What can I do?
(I really can't get it replaced, I bought it from Negri, and I don't live in the USA.. )
Thanks!
try holding the volume rocker down button while pressing the power button, see if anything happens.
I tried, and it didn't helped.
Try this: take the battery out. While holding volume down and power, put the battery back in. This is something from SGS, but maybe it will work.
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Nope..
(Can Sensation turn on without it's back case?)
I there anyway I can restore to factory settings using a computer or so?

I think this won't help, it looks like a hardware problem, motherboard failure, I'm not 100% sure though, may be some of the more experienced guys here can help.

That's what I was afraid of.
How can I know if that included with my warranty?
I had this same problem with my first sensation and all i did was take the battery out then hold just the power button and put the battery back in. Like I said "first sensation" it had other problems too.
hope this helps

Well, that didn't work either.
Altho, I must say that knowing that someone else had a situation like that, does help.
Thanks!
Arrrrggg....
Changing the phone now will be a pain in the **..
I'll have to send it back to US, and wish they will replace it for me?
Anyone know what's HTC warranty policy?
HTC gives global warranty to every unit, or it's depends on the reseller?
Thanks..
Whilst I can't help you with the warranty, an email to HTC will tell you exactly what's what.
What I can share with you is that it seems a complete hardware failure has happened on more than just a few isolated examples of the handset.
My first one crashed when pairing bluetooth, I pulled the battery, and from that point, it wouldn't do a thing. No power, no USB recognising on the PC or anything. I went back to my carrier, and they replaced it directly for me.
I can tell you that there are more than just a few of us who have experienced this problem... what causes it - who knows... there is rumour at the moment about a build-up of static causing the touch-screen to fail - if that static goes in the wrong direction... it could easily fry your phone.
My advice - keep it physically 'stock - don't put any covers or anything on, to minimise the build-up of static - JUST IN CASE this is the issue.
Thanks niddnet,
It is good to know it not necessarily my fault.
Is it common that new phones have problems like that? I must say it's really shocking. Phone dies in a middle of BT pairing!? Weird.
Hi,
first, i tried finding a solution in your forum, and couldn't find anything helpful.
My G3 shuts down by itself once or twice a day. I can start it up when pushing the "start" button. its like a normal start up.
First i thought it had something to do with being outside, maybe the cold, but just today it happend while it was inside laying on the table. I never really saw it happen, but i think that it occures when the screen is off, its not happening while using.
I tried flashing it with kyrillos, but it still occured. (i have a cpu app, so that shouldn't be the problem)
Does anybody have an idea what might cause this?
I can't risk not getting woken up by the alarm clock because its happened again!
Thanks

Is it an immediate shut down without an message showing that its shutting down? If it is then mayb you can fold a piece of small paper and put it in between your battery and battery cover as your battery may be loose.

Thanks for your answer!
I never saw a message. It always happens when the screen is off, the screen just stays off, but i cant geht it on. then i have to restart it.
I tried putting paper in between but i can't say that it helped.

Is your battery older?
Check it if it's bend even a slight...
This may cause immediate shut downs
You know how to check it!!?!
If this is true, go for a new one...
sounds like a SOD issue, which ROM are using? Also what are your cpu settings?
I'm not sure if it's lag or what, but my phone screen won't come on. I think it's a ribbon that was disconnected or something though. For about a few hours if I were to press power to see the lock screen, all I saw where a bunch of rainbow static. Then I powered my phone on and off because nothing would work and now it's jut black! Does anyone know what's wrong? I can't boot into clockwork so I don't think it's a rom problem. Does anyone know the problem or have any idea to fix? Anyone I should ask specifically?
maybe water? even having my phone in the bathroom while i take a shower cause me that
It's not water, I never bring my phone close to place with water :/
can you boot into the screen where there are 3 droids with the skateboards? (i not sure whats the name)
I think I can boot and my phone still works, because it still rings when someone calls and it still vibrates when someone text it, but I just can't pick up or reply (because the screen won't come on). I should be able to boot into that thing, but I can't anything :/
well bro sorry i cant help you :/ maybe it could be the screen,the ribons or somethings loose. did it fell?

Seems like either broken ribbon that connects the screen to the "motherboard', or dead screen itself. That's exactly how 1 of my phones died (it was too complicated to disassemble and fix it myself)
But once I had similar problem with my TP2, the screen first become unresponsive to any touch, and then it went just black after restart (and every next restart). However all keys did work.
Hard reset somewhat helped, the screen actually came back, but it was still stuck on setting up Windows Mobile (if you know WinMo: the part where you calibrate touchscreen), apparently "touch" part of the screen didn't work.
I thought it is ribbon or screen assembly, but since all the keys worked I flashed another ROM and what do you know: all problems went away. It worked fine for as long as I had it. I never figured out what caused it/was the problem.

Yea I think that's the problem here. I think I'm just going to borrow a friends mt4gs to use and navigate recovery and do a back up and just buy a new one and restore. Thanks for all the help guys
They only just appeared today, randomly when I took my phone out of my pocket. I've restarted the phone to no avail, and am panicking because I dont know where to begin..can anyone diagnose my problem?
Looks like dead pixels, but the image isn't really clear enough.
Take a screenshot with some app.
If you see that in the screenshot, then reflash your firmware & ROM or flash an RUU.
If you don't see it in the screenshot, then it's a hardware problem.
Thanks, I took a screenshot and it's not a part of it. The lines keep getting bigger and bigger!
Sounds like it needs to go for repair. Is it under warente? Best of luck to you!

I too have this issue. It was present from the moment I powered the unit on. I continued with the setup to see if I could adjust the screen or maybe an update might fix it. But sadly no dice. I'm calling Google tonight to see if they can send me another unit or repair this one.
Had the same problem earlier, when i dropped the phone accidentally.
Observation: It gets darker and grows when the phone heats up, and lighter (almost cyan blue) when the phone cools down for a significant period of time with the screen off.
i had to keep the phone near an air conditioner vent for a few hours with the phone turned off for it to disappear.
once the lines disappear completely they dont return back, unless if you drop them again (which is what i did a few days back again.. and the stupid lines are back )
If you have any other ways in which you can get it resolved pls share with us.
Cheers,
Alan
