Razr HD black screen, need help - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a Razr HD on ebay and the screen won't display an image, the backlight of the screen comes on and it flashes an image for a second when the screen is turned on, but after that it just goes and stays blank. It boots normally because I hear the startup "Droid" sound and by pressing the power button to turn the screen on and off, I see that the device is on but I just can't see anything after the second the screen is first on. I charged it over night and tried reflashing factory firmware and fiddling around with the connectors, but nothing has helped. Any ideas?

!S.O.S! Raphael died on me all the sudden! WTF!?*SOLVED*

Today I noticed, while having my phone in a pocket, that it vibrates. Thought it was an sms or something but after I pulled it out, the screen was black. And kept on restarting itself in like 10 second intervals. Then the screen got stuck black with backlight on. Now I cannot power it on. It does it by itself randomly. No way to enter bootloader. After pressing hard buttons I randomly get a vibration feedback. Tried 2 different batteries. If I plug the charger in, no light comes up. After maybe 20 minutes on charger it gets warm (not where the battery is but above where the radio is).
Anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas would be more than greatly appreciated!!!!

Try this,
Turn off phone, push volume down and plug in the usb cable to your computer, don't turn it on, if the hardware is ok, tricolor should appear.

Thanx for the tip. My phone, however, resurrected by itself in the middle of night after it did hard reset by itself. So I used raphdiag and reloaded new rom. Hope to never see this again!

[Q] Black Screen

Hello,
So yesterday, I pulled my phone out of my pocket after average usage for the day and the screen was completely black, but the capacitive buttons at the bottom would still illuminate and cause vibration when touched. I tried a reset, but the screen wouldn't turn back on after the reboot. I tried booting into recovery, and the screen was still black. I also tried plugging it into both my computer, and a regular outlet when off, on, and in recovery, with no results.
At this point, I am pretty sure the screen is just broken, but I wanted to ask here in case there is something else I can do. If it matters, I was running AOKP/CM Nocturnal Dirty 4.2.
Maybe just bad lcd

[Q] Infinity won't start, just vibrating indefinitely

Hi gurus,
Updated the OTA patch today from ASUS. worked fine but got discharged while my son was playing with it. charged it and then tried to start it. It just won't boot. Starts vibrating which will not stop. Nothing on the screen. Pressing on Power button for about 10 seconds will stop it for a moment but will start again to vibrate after a short pause.
Tried the manual reset button, same result. Finally, pressed the power and Volume up button for 10 seconds which has atleast made it stop vibrating but is still dead. Tried to restart and same behaviour.
Has anyone seen this on infinity before? Have had it for 9 months and never been a problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Maybe a HDMI connection might let you see whats happening if its related to the display not working.
I am having the same problem. it vibrates..stop for 1 sec..then vibrates again and that's all..always black screen!! i think the problem (in my case) is my screen + digitizer coz my computer can recognize it as storage!
Yes my problem is the screen! i bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable and everything works like a charm! The screen brightness works but no image at all!

Tried to charge it fully but to no avail.
still keeps just vibrating.
I work with leicesteruk (small world and why is he not using CROMi-X!?) and I think this is hard bricked! Device will not power on other than it vibrates once then on the second vibrate that normally signifies boot loader load it jus continuously vibrates and does nothing else. No screen, nothing.
We have tried various volume held down options and nothing works including reset hole and letting the battery drain. It still charges but just goes into continuously vibrating with no screen.
The only thing it will accept is power down plus volume down stops the vibrating after 20 secs if held down.
I have advised to RMA.
wow, that's extremely hard luck right after an update.
Was your tablet rooted, and were you using OTA root keeper?

No it was completely stock. Just a regular OTA. Note the device died whilst in use after the OTA had been applied the day before.

[Q] Son's S3's screen won't turn on

Hi all. My son's stock Galaxy S3 turns on, but the screen stays black. It vibrates when receiving calls, and when on, the menu and back lights turn on when the power button is pressed. The blue light in the upper-left corner blinks every 10 seconds or so, so the phone is on.
Ideas? I've tried holding the home and power up buttons when turning on, the home and power down buttons when turning on, pulling the battery, SD, and SIM card for multiple minutes, etc.

Sounds hardware related.
I'd get it looked at, you might be able to tear it down yourself and see if the ribbon cable for the display is connected correctly. There are good tutorials online.
It could be a pretty expensive fix, so it may be worth it to upgrade to a new device or use insurance to replace it. It definitely sounds like the phone is on.

Thanks! The phone is from June, so Verizon agreed to send a new one. Yay!

How can I get my HTC M8 working again

Ond day my htc m8 didn't wake up screen when I double tapped it. Then I JUST RESTARTED IT. From that point onwards it doesn't turn on. When connected to pc or power red led blinks twice in regular intervals. Tried everything on internet to restart pressing buttons and everything. It doesn't turn on. NO SCREEN AT ALL. ALL BLACK. Now I'm hopeless and trying to find a new motherboard for this. Any suggestions please? I used this for more than one year...

It is possible that your battery is completely dead. Take a look at this thread and the answer.

It may help with your issue. Personally I have encountered the same problem after my M8 laid unused for months. I left it on the charger for a few hours and it came back to life.
Hope it helps
