The Funniest Thing Just Happened

[SooSpecial]

I had my Universal in my back pocket when I sat on the car's seat. I felt it there right away so I got off the car and checked on the Universal, the screen'd gonr white with some colored lines! The phone was fully functional except for the screen.

Today I check the coxial cable but got nothing. Tried to play around just doing things with no luck.

I was hopeless, thought I'd pay loads for the screen. I went nuts and started to smack it on my desk. Guess what happened, it worked again! :D

I was like shocked and happy to see the screen back on ! I'm gonna check on it now, rotate the screen and so, lets see if it stays alive.

Cheers.

Try it again mate. If it works, we can add it to the wiki :)

good job!, I know a story like this!

my friend was playing with his Universal while breathing some fresh air out :D

then suddenly...ooooooooooooooooo

the Universal made its way down from the 2nd floor...

ofcourse after collecting its pieces (SD card, Battery cover, Battery, SIM, Stylus)...

going up and turn it on and its working! but with the same problem (white screen with color lines)....

my friend was pissed off..so he began to hit the desk near the device and the screen re-worked again!

and the device never went to the service until now...

this happened 6 months before!

the only things that left..some scratches and the broken cover!

strong Universal :D

If you take a look at the Lcd screen on a universal there are connectors around the corners of the screen (probably find a pic on ebay).
My universal had a problem with a blue tint on the screen but with a squeeze near the upper left of the screen i heard a click and the problem went away.

chances are a swift bang may be resitting the connectors. you might want to try squeezing the corners either side of the screen before resulting to more extreme techniques. :)

Of course you could remove the covers and be sure of getting good connections

Just don't squeeze the corner too hard. I'm now looking for a new screen as I've got the dreaded 'bleeding ink' across the right-hand corner of mine. :eek:
Anyone know of a supplier of new screens?

On an old PDA, I had one of them WiFi SD card thingies.
It was so temperamental and I thought it might have been the contacts or something.

Anyway, I took the WiFi SD apart and put the bare circuit board in the slot, it kinda got stuck, but that also made funny colours come on the screen.

:D
