MDA Pro running Qtek-rom > weird green distortion on scre

[murc]

Hi there,

Thanks to all you ppl on the forum i managed to upgrade my brand new MDA Pro with UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe as found on the ftp.

Speed seems better, and i like MSN....

Yesterday i noticed some green jittery lines along the righthand side of the screen (LS-mode). When i flip the screen to Portrait mode it stays in the same spot (then it's along the bottomside).

Looks like this:

It's moving, and seems to be active when i touch the screen or when the device is 'thinking'..

Anybody know what this is / how i can fix this?

I already tried searching the forum for 'green+screen' and 'weird' but nothing usefull turned up :cry:

Thanks in advance!!

When i try to play a video (TCPMP) it seems to get worse and the jittering goes like mad. It stays in a particulair portion of the screen (bottom in portrait) and takes up the space of about 2 startbars stacked on top of each other.

They look a little like status bars of some sort, anywauy, i don't want 'em :x

Please don't tell me to do another upgrade.. would be my 4th in 4 days, and it takes about 3 hrs to get it right (with installing all apps and settings etc). I noticed that spb backup doesn't like it when i try to restore my settings into another ROM than it was made in.. but that's not my actual problem >> green lines from hell IS

Thanks for your time,

This looks like a HARDWARE problem. I get these in my PC before when the video card was on the fritz.

Anyway, if you don't want to hard reset, i cannot help you.

If you do hard reset and the same problem is still there before installing ANYTHING, then it would probably be HARDWARE unless you re-flash the QTEK rom....

Whaaat?? Just got the D*MN thing 4 days ago, treated it as a newborn child...

Anyway, i tried the 2 softbutton reset, same, tried the power/lightbutton reset, same, tried ClearStorage, same... Should i install another ROM perhaps.. any suggestions?

I noticed the weirdness showing up at the bootscreen (with Qtek logo), then comes the windows logo, which seems to be clean, and then pin-code-screen has it again.

Jorgee it indeed reminds me of faulty videocards on my PC.. aahhh noo, not again :shock:

plz advize

regards,

hi.. well, installed UNI_TMUK_12032_120_10600_Ship.exe, same thing.. guess i'll have to take it to the local t-mobile shop and see if can get it replaced under guarantee...

Weird stuff though, never dropped it, bumped it, could it have something to do with ROM upgrading?

Make sure you flash it back to the correct ROM before returning it. hehehe

Maybe someone at the store twisted the screen MORE THAN 180º (someone like the sales person) then stuffed it back in the box and turned a bind eye.
