Dead Desire S

So here is the story, I had a S-Off Desire S which was running perfectly fine on Cyn 7. I was doing something and it hanged I took out the battery and it was dead. By dead I mean no light when putting on chargers (multiple chargers, multiple cables and multiple outlets including computer and power), it doesn't boot up, nothing happens on holding volume keys with power button, once my computer detected a wierd device I can't recall the name.
For past two months or so its been lying around since I didn't had time to look into it. Is there any way of fixing it or should I consider it as an expensive paper weight.
I am from Pakistan so there is no concept of warranty here as HTC when I purchased was not officially here. My first and last HTC set.

You should not blame HTC ("my first and last HTC" you said). You were using unsupported (by vendor) ROM. It's a pity that it happened but there's always a risk.

If you can't get into Hboot there is very little we can do here, the only thing I can suggest is to clean your battery contacts? It is a long shot!

Your computer detected QHSUSB_DLOAD device.
Google it, and see what it is.
Unfortunately, it also means you screwed your phone beyond repair (which is possible, but very hard, and no guide exists - only Sensation has one). Don't blame HTC, they weren't the one to run CM on your phone.

i have emailed HTC regarding this hopefully they will be able to sort something out for me ... another friend of mine running on stock firmware had the same problem today. Is this problem only related to Sensation, Desire S and Desire HD or it can happen in the newer sets like One X too?

To anyone who has successfully replaced one x lcd/digitizer

So i purchased a LCD/digitizer from eBay and received it in the mail this morning. I followed the steps and was able to get my cracked screen (digitzer&lcd) off. After assembling it all with the new screen i ran into an issue.
There is no response from the screen at all it is just black. The phone boots fine though because it vibrated and then a few minutes later i can hear my notifications go off and the led is flashing.
could it be a bad connection with the wires, if so what one should I look at, Did i buy a faulty screen, or am i just sol?
is there any difference between a One X and a One XL screen?
any help is appreciated.
purchased from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271006361868?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2923wt_1218

Could be bad connection..there is a YouTube vid on replacing it..

yea that is what i am assuming since nothing was working but i just wanted to see if anyone else ran into this issue :/

I've successfully replaced the lcd/digitizer on my htc one xl, and gonna be doing another one soon. Make sure the connections are fully clamped in place. the top connection closest to the htc/at&t logo on the screen controls the touch, while the bottom connection controls the picture. So just see if the bottom connection is damaged or maybe out of place. If nothing is wrong with them then you may have a faulty screen. I suggest always testing the screen before actually putting everything in place with the adhesives, so just connect it first and if it works then you can reassemble everything.. I'm not too sure whether there is any difference with the htc one x and one xl screen. As far as I know they should be very similar. But I would definitely stay on the safe side and get only the screen that is made for your device. I have not attempted using one with the other.

[Q] HTC One X Digitizer/LCD Repair Problems

I run a cell phone repair company and we do quite a few repairs but this in particular HTC One X has us all stumped here. We do realize that there are 3 different versions of the dig/lcd and we have the correct part. But has anyone had problems with trying to replace the HTC One X dig/lcd assembly. It seems that after I put the new part on the lcd is black but the phone is still on. I even went back and put the old screen back on and it is still black. Prior to the repair the lcd worked fine. But just the digitizer was cracked. I have even went as far as changing the motherboard on the phone to a new one and am still having the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked the ribbon length to make sure you do not have a break?

It would seem to me as though it's just as simple as one of the connectors is not plugged in or just not plugged in properly, which is easy to do since one of them is on the underside of the board which I believe is the one for the screen itself.

OP already stated that going back to the original LCD did not yield results.

Exactly. Seems like the only probable answer is that something was broken during teardown - either a cable or connector. Given the size of everything in there, it doesn't take much....

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm kind of in the same boat at the moment, BUT there's a silverish lining
In the midst of replacing a screen on my One X. Phone is obviously "on" (despite being in pieces on my desk), but n either the new or old screens will come on when I push the power button.
For a lark, I plugged the phone in, and did an 'adb reboot'
My splash screen comes up on the new screen just fine, as does the Viper Logo and my home screen and everything.... but once it shuts off the power button will NOT re-wake it up. At first I thought "I must have broken the power button" but I also forced a notification to it - which also typically wakes up the screen - and also saw nothing.
EDIT : Cancel that; for some reason the power button didn't work until I had the case back on. Grounding maybe? Either way, working fine now.

Some Ebay product page for a screen replacement said you should first power on the device with the old screen, then take the old screen out while the phone is running and put the new one in.
Maybe you should trie that. I'm not a hardware expert, so do some research before trying this and don't blame me if it doesnt work

That will only work if the screens not working. Op. It's difficult to narrow the issue in your situation. If the flex cables don't work, it's a short which would require much more advanced knowledge to fix.

HTC One X solid red light?

When I turn my phone on after a full charge, it shows a solid red light in the LED display and I cannot see anything on the screen? What does this mean and how can I fix this? I am attempting to replace the screen/digitizer on my HTC One X, and I am positive I have connected this display correctly

Are you sure you got the correct screen? There are three different models for this phone and you must ensure you install the right one. Also, did you sync the screen?
Sent from my Evita

Well I purchased the screen off of Ebay and it states "Original OEM Assembly Full LCD Display Screen Touch Digitizer HTC One X OneX". The screen looks to be the right one upon comparison between my old one and new one. I have a telus HTC One X, which is the same as the AT&T version, I am not sure about how to find the version of the screen. I thought that they would just be compatible, otherwise I will be getting a refund. So how can you tell if the screen is the correct one?
Also I am unfamiliar with how to sync the screen. I am following a youtube video which shows you how to test the display by connecting the display. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIeO0DueMcg

You can tell if the screen is the right one by the flex cable connected to it. If it is the same as the old flex cable and the same colour then you have the right screen. To sync the screen you need to remove the old screen and install the new screen while the phone is powered on.

Ok, the cables are the same colour and everything so I think it should be fine. I disconnected the battery and the reconnected it, turned on the phone with the old damaged screen in. It started up and flashed green once briefly (this is normal), and then the LED light went solid red.
I then took the old screen out, and plugged the new one in and still had no activity.
BTW I really appreciate your help. I will definitely do my best to explain what is happening, I can even post pictures or video if necessary.

It's possible you've damaged something during the installation process. It's a bit hard to say. To be honest I'm not much more help other than what I've already posted here, that's about the extent of my knowledge when it comes to replacing the display.
Sent from my Evita

Thats ok, your input was still valuable. I think it might be a battery issue. I don't see anything immediately noticeable that I could have damaged, I was quite careful during the whole process. I bought a new battery for $10 and I will try putting that in when I get it. Before I had charged my old battery fully it was flashing red, which I read meant it was on low battery. So I charged it, and now its solid red even when the charger is not connected. I am not sure what this exactly means but hopefully if people like yourself keep posting suggestions I might just figure this out!

[Q] Tried replacing screen assembly, new screen broke. What to do?

I tried replacing the screen on my One X and when I hooked it up it seemed to work fine. Once I confirmed the screen/digitizer worked I put the battery in and put it all back together. Then the screen decided not to work and wouldn't display anything but lines and some light. I'm not sure what happened, maybe pushing the assembly into the housing pulled the ribbon out of the phone. I'm not sure.
I'm thinking about upgrading to the XL or X+ but I'm curious, is there a chance my phone is damaged aside from the screen? When I have it plugged into the computer and turned on it isn't detected at all. Also, when I confirmed the screen worked I noticed I had a bootloop, which is odd since it worked fine before. I'm not sure what I did
And no, unfortunately debugging is disabled :/

Perhaps you shouldn't have attempted the repair yourself if you don't really know what you're doing. My suggestion would be to take it to a professional and get them to inspect the device. By the way, you're posting in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL forum.
