Hi, i have px5 oreo gs. When i set my HU fast start time to more than 5min and i start car again HU start but i have vertical lines on whole screen. When i start car after 10min there are few white lines which dissapear in few min, but i let it one night for 10,12 hours and it was all in vertical lines ( now some of the lines werent white but most of them were white ). Again after few min ( maybe 10,15 ) all was back to normal.
I updated few times system and mcu and no changes at all. I suspect on screen issue or pins on screen cable, but can this be because of car, because i had some electrical problems with voltage before? Thank you

Hi guys
I have this strange behavior going on in my Sentation.
Out of nowhere my phone started to have strange screen behavior... Didn't light up after pressing the power button (had to phone my self in order to get screen on).
The next thing was that suddenly the screen goes to maximum brightness or goes to minimum without any explanation (tried both auto brightness or manual).
After that I noticed that the screen went off when I was using it but when I pressed the left side of it it lighted up and off again... making me think of some kind of bad contact underneath. As I already had changed a broken touch screen for t3 times, and let the phone fall for several times I thought it had to do with some plug out of line...
I disassembled the phone completely and mounted up back again. The thing is that the phone started to freeze every 5 minutes (screen on but completely freezed. I have to pul out battery). Sometimes it freezes even in the recovery menu. I've tried several rom's with full wipe and not installing anything and its all the same.
Some times I still not that the screen goes off during the freeze but when I touch the left side it goes on again, but that doesn't change the freezed state even that I let down the phone for several minutes.
I disassemble the phone again, tried different back cover and different battery (one stock and other extra strength) I tried also all the suggestion related to the small pin in the back not connecting well with the back cover (adding an aluminium foil, pulling the pin out, etc..)
Nothing seams to resolve anything so I have clearly an hardware problem... but I don't know what to replace or where to look the damage!!!
Can anybody help me please?!
Update
I have an update on my problem:
I noticed that when I leave the phone on top of some kind of metal part and don't touch it it works all day without any problem but, as soon as I start to touch the phone, it freezes within minutes!
Could it be some kind of static electrical problem? How to resolve it?
I would apreciate any help
Thanks
My friend smashed the screen on his nexus 5 and gave it to some shady repair shop. They replaced his screen (with a white one, on a black phone btw, now it has a white dot on top) and he paid a lot of money for it, but now his display won't work, so he gave it to me to fix, as I have some experience with fixing phones and he has no money left. The repair shop refused to take it back and he doesn't want to start a legal battle. As far as I've tested, the phone shows three behaviours. The first is that the phone boots normally, but without displaying anything. I can still hear it getting notifications and can connect it to a computer, it's just not displaying anything. The second behaviour is identical to the first, except instead of a black screen the phone shows colorful static which seems to correspond to screen-on time (when I lock the phone it goes black and vice versa). The third behaviour, which is the weirdest, is that the display works, but everything displayed is glitching. The google logo maybe has the top 20% moved down a bit, the boot animation may be choppy or distorted, the recovery menu may be divided into blocks which are moved around a bit. In this 'mode', I have never gotten it past the boot animation. The reason I wrote 'may' is because it's different every time, but eventually it always just goes black and stops responding until i disconnect and reconnect the battery.
I opened the phone and fiddled with the connectors a bit and found out that pressing the usb board connector to the mainboard seems to cause the phone to switch between these behaviours. I took a small piece of paper, folded it over a few times and put it on top of the connector and then screwed the cover back on to hold the connector firmly in place. That seemed to put the phone into constant behaviour 3 (graphical glitching).
What could be the problem? I know that the static indicates that the usb board or more probably its connector is faulty, but I'm more concerned about the glitching. It seems to me that the graphical processor is malfunctioning, but I have very little knowledge about graphical processing and displaying so I really don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: the phone just did something weird, when I turned it on it displayed static, but then it started drawing the boot animation slowly from top to bottom. And then proceeded with behaviour 3 as usual, the animation ran at about 3fps and just went blank after 10s.
Okay, I have located the exact location of the fault, the USB board ribbon cable that goes over the battery was bent at a sharp angle and then apparently straightened again. If I press it in that point, the screen switches between static and nothing. I have not been able to recreate the glitching since I cleaned all the parts of the phone with isopropyl alcohol. Still, I'm interested in an explanation to avoid further problems with glitching
now it's behaving even more strangely. When I turn it on, it slowly fades from grey to bright white screen and then goes black and starts blinking a red light. What does this mean? Please help
anyone?
I replaced the cracked LCD. Every time time the screen is awakened the touchscreen seems to randomly choose a different Y-axis starting position. Sometimes it is correct sometimes it is a little off and sometimes way off. Is this a defective replacement or is it an android issue.
Thanks
Same issue...
I am having the exact same issue. I replaced the screen and now the y-axis is off. Every time I shut off the screen and turn it back on, it is in a different position. One thing I have noticed is there is a little blip when I turn on the screen, like a horizontal line that briefly appears, like the screen is re-initializing or something. When this happens, the y-axis is correct.
Anyway, has there been any progress on a resolution?
Hi,
my name is Josemari, from Spain.
I have a TF101 with dock (and original rom from Asus) that does not display anything on screen since a soft fall from 10cm (daughter in a very very small chair).
When i plug the charger, it works (and beeps -charge-). When i plug the dock, also beeps. When i connect through hdmi output to my tv, it also works. I can use the tablet perfectly with my fingers.
What can i do?
I disassembled the tablet and i checked all conectors, but i do not see anything wrong.
Thanks.
I had the exact same problem. Even though it has fallen before without a problem, in my last 2 cases it was a loose connection for the video screen. I had to open up the tablet and simply push the video connection back on all the way. It's rather easy if you're familiar with taking things like this apart. Make sure you are careful when you re install the side trim that holds the buttons. It's easy to break the red tabs that press against the buttons. It may be helpful to you to look up a disassembly guide. I believe if you google the specific issue you will find pictures. Again it's been a long time. Hope this helps
I have the same issue since a few days.
Difference here, when I boot up (holding power button until reboot) the screen is on (Asus logo and boot animation)
The display goes balck / disappears (backlight off) when the lock screen comes up.
Checked the inner display cable and connector with no success.
Did a factory reset and it was working again, until I changed the brightness to a higher level. Then the screen was dark again.
I managed to change brightness to a lower level using the working HDMI interface. After that I switched the tablet off and on and the screen was lit up again.
Another effect: when power adapter is plugged in, I can go to a higher brightness level until the backlight turns itself off.
It looks like a hardware defekt of the backlight electronic to me. Couldn't find any spare parts, such as backlight inverter, though.
Can anybody confirm this or knows how to repair?
I will use it at 30-50% brightness now and see if it gets worse over time.
As the title says, every day or two the screen stops responding to touch, I have to hold the power button for 30 seconds to force a hard restart or put a pin in the reset hole on the front, then it's fine again for a day or two.
I have updated MCU from MTCE_GS_V2.78 to MTCE_GS_V3.40, and Android from HCT_PX5_6.0(20171023) to HCT_PX5_6.0(20171227), also removed front panel and DVD player and re-seated all 3 ribbon cables connecting the front to the main unit (2 small & 1 wide) to no avail, An ideas? or is it just giving up after 3 years?
Thanks all
I'm having the same problem, only thing is now its become permanent. I've tried everything from MCU updates to stripping down the unit to barebones and checking connections. Its not just the screen touch, its the touch panel controls as well. Did you get thsi resolved?
Unfortunately not, sometimes it comes back to life, I quickly play an album, the screen jumps and flashes then goes black, no touch working but music keeps playing, sometimes my whole journey to work is in silence, I'm learning to live with it :laugh:
