Help with Htc Touch Pro, it woke up with stupid

Srry title is supposed to say Help with HTC Touch Pro for sprint....it Woke up with a bad case of stupidity
So i wake up 2day and i find that my Sprint Htc Touch Pro's screen is like jumping around like crazy...the touch screen still works and all but it moves around non stop. i can still make out where lets say the all the button are so i can still find my way around the phone but its sooooo annoying. so i pressed the restart button on the botton hoping it would fix it and when is turns back on it just goes 2 a blue screen. so i pressed the button again and now a green screen which soon turns white. pressed again and not its a black screen with the logo Touch pro on the bottom and the red little numbers and letter on the top...(the Touch Pro logo is usually in the middle and the Numbers and letters on the bottom....) so it finally loads up and the screen is still messed up. so i went crazy, i got home from school and i saved all my contacts but coping the Pim file to my 1gb memory card and did the clear storage to once again hopefully fix everything. well it didnt but atleast i still hav my contacts. ha ha...(im laughing so that i dont cry) everything still work though, i can send txt, talk on the phone, and do everything else....but cant see anything cuz he screen is jumping around. and no im not an imbecile and messed up on the modding and messed the phone up...or else it would done this a looong time ago.... so any help will b soooooo helpful. oh and i took out the battery and put it back in the still doesnt fix anything. sometimes the screen stays blue and doesnt do anything...*tear falls on keyboard* lol

have you tried a hard reset?

i did...i went into clear storage and did the whole 1234 and then press yes. didnt do anything beside erase everything and then go back 2 crazy jumping screen....

Any fixes?
Black_Yoshi,
I was wondering if you found any solutions to your "screen jumpiness". I have got the same problem happening on my Touch Pro. Just started happening acouple days ago. Cant put a finger on what caused it, sprint will probably say water damage. I have the TEP except its my 3rd one in 12 months so they will cancel the program..
Any luck? Thanks

YOur display is most likely going out. That started happening to my touch pro and with in three days the screen just went black so i took it the the sprint store and they change the screen display

Grey Screen (NO REACTION) - Please help me out guys

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

[Q] Power button unresponsive.

Hello all,
I gave my Sensation to my wife a couple of months ago (she bought me a SGS III so I thought she deserved it).
The phone fell and stayed under light rain for a couple of hours, until she found it again; the phone also had a protective cover against scratches, not being also water resistant.
Now she's having difficulties in turning the phone on/of and putting it in stand by, also pressing the button hardly. There's no visible sign of rust or oxidation, and everything else (also touchscreen) is working ok.
I tried to remove the back cover to try to activate the button directly (without the chassis) and it seems its sensivity is greatly reduced.
Is there a suggestion you have to restore its functionality, without bringing it to the shop for repairs ?
Many thanks
S

try to buy a new back cover and see if that helps

Problem with the backlight

Hi! Two days ago, my phone dropped in water , i put them immediately in rice until today. When start it with the power button, i felt the vibration and i hear the open sound. But the screen remains black... but i discover that it was just the backlight because when i watch the screen under a lamp i can see the interface and slide between pages... but its very dark. Is it possible to change this backlight? or just wait few other days to allow time to dry fully. I welcome your suggestions! thanks

When there's water involved, IT's hard to know exactly what damaged. Could be just stain on the ribbon connectors, a burned fuse/diode/resistor (all of them micro sized) etc.. or just the LCD's backlight damaged entirely.
Keep it on rice for more time. I would make the battery to discharge to 0%, But it's also more recommended to keep the phone OFF. Only my friend LUCK knows.
To change the backlight, the whole screen needs to be changed.

Backlight died on me. Possible moisture.
First, it was on boot loop (on stock rom)
i went to restart it (holding power button and volume down)
then the screen turned bright white, restarted it and then the backlight died, dismantled the phone, now still in rice, also happened on 2nd April.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Took it apart down to the Screen (not the screen layers), left it in rice, works like a brand new now. Cheers.

I just replace all the frame and lcd for a new on my nexus 5, but the problem was still there... no backlight, i can see a little bit the screen, but it's very dark... do you have any idea for try to repair this, because now i don't think that it's the screen but more a motherboard or power problem for the backlight :S

exactly same problem here
nexus 5 phone dropped in water.
Backlight went out permanently - rice didn´t help.
Can see the display working using a flashlight - so rest of the phone seems to be working ok.
Just pruchased a new screen, put it all in and still the same problem: display works, touch works, backlight is off.
So it seems the backlight part of the display receives no power - anybody has an idea how to fix that?
thanks

I have answer to this!
I have had this problem like 3 months now and i finally fixed it.
Basically what i did was that i bought a broken nexus 5 (only the screen glass was broken) and tried to swap every part one by one. The one that was not working was the main dock!
It is a cheap fix, like 10£ on Ebay.
I am writing this post because anyone else haven't.
I hope that someone sees this.
I now copy this message to all other threads so people can fix their nexus 5's
PS:as you can probably tell English isn't my first language.

Hello! I am having the same problem. The cell phone fell to the floor and the next day the problem began. The display is not broken.
What are you taking about when you say "main dock"? Motherboard aka mainboard?
Thanks!

Screen randomly turns off but phone still on, backlight often stays on

Hey guys, i'll try to explain the situation as best i can below, hopefully someone can work out what is wrong.
My phone is about 16 months old. About 2 months ago i dropped it twice within the space of a couple weeks. There were a few cracks along the screen, however it wasn't very noticeable and i wasn't going to bother having it fixed. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when i went to grab it out of my pocket, however i found out the screen was black and it wouldn't turn on. I don't really know how to describe it but it was acting very strange...
- The screen would have white/gray bars all over it then turn off, then it would do the same with very thin vertical lines that were white/gray/other colours...
- When i get the screen on, it generally turns off again within 30 seconds, however it can stay on for a few minutes.
- If the screen is on and i press the lock button, it almost certainly won't come back on.
- Restarting the phone or holding the power and volume button nearly always gets the screen to come back on. It often then restarts but turns off again shortly after.
- The phone is otherwise still working when the screen goes off; the notification light stays on and i hear messages etc coming through
- The backlight often stays lit, revealing a gray screen opposed from total black. Sometimes it does not stay lit however.
- When the screen came on it was often unresponsive to touch
I had the screen replaced yesterday by a phone repair shop and the phone is still not right. I have factory reset the phone and also wiped the partition cache. Other than that it is still not working. IT seems to be working better... The screen always seems responsive to touch when it is on, and it doesn't seem to be turning off as often. It generally starts up and works fine when i start up by holding the power button and down volume button together... However even still it sometimes just flashes up with a few thick white/gray and black lines on the screen..
Does anyone know what can be causing this and how i can resolve it? If you need any more information please let me know and i will try provide it. I could try get some pictures of what the screen is doing when i finish work. Thanks guys, i appreciate any input.
EDIT: I managed to get a pic of what i mean by the thin vertical lines all over the screen. This just appeared when i tried to restart the phone after it the screen had once again stopped working. The imgur link is gIFMGD6

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, did you ever figure this problem out? My phone just started doing the same thing. Can't find much info about it.

Yeah, i had the screen fixed hoping it would fix it, however that didn't work. Turns out it was the motherboard, don't know what was wrong with it in particular other than it was simply going faulty. Had someone replace the motherboard on it for $50 and have had zero problems since! Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the response. I tried replacing the screen too with no luck. Unfortunately the same place that replaced the screen said it would cost $400 to replace the motherboard!!! The phone cost less than that so it looks like I'm gonna buy a new one.
