TyTN Bricked.....White Screen

[nv00021]

Before I start getting flamed.....I have been researching the methods to solve this bricking for the last 3 days and NOTHING has worked.

I have tried HARD resetting (2 soft keys and reset) tried flashing with bootloader version 1.04....NOTHING.

I cannot understand what to do next. Nothing is working, the WMBLACK screen is coming up and then the white screen!!!!

I have followed several instructions and I must be doing something wrong!!!

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks

Hmmm... doesn't sound to me like a brick in the true sense. Do you have Hard-SPL installed? If so I'd check for bad blocks. If not, I'd flash Hard-SPL, then check.

See bootloader section of the Wiki and the Hard-SPL thread (mtty, 'info 8' and 'task 2a' in particular).

EDIT: Oh yeah, I think a bad battery can cause weird behavior like that, too. Gotta spare you can try?

I've tried loading hard SPL and it keeps telling me it can't communicate with the unit.

I will go back and try what you have mentioned again.

I unfortunately don't have another battery.

Thanks I will report back....your help is appreciated.

You have to 'force SSPL' on the Hard-SPL install...

Hey mate, remi from australia here. I have a Dopod 838 pro which is the same as your device and I had the same problem a couple of months ago when Black released version 3.5 of WM6. I searched long and hard on the internet for solutions to this problem, some ppl thought it was a heat related issue which I thought could be correct because when I had the problem, if I left the device off for a couple of hours then turned it on again and did a hard reset it would work for about 10 mins... however yea 10 mins and the same issue again, other people thought it was a short circuit in the device and others managed to get rid of the white screen by applying presure to the chassis above the right soft key, above the "ok" button..... but none of these worked for me, when I was getting the problem the keys would malfunction and stop worling then the screen would go white and it would be stuffed again. after a while it was permanent and no hard resets helped anymore. I went to my dealer and they organised a new handset to be sent out to me within a couple of days. when it arrived I compared mine to the new one and one thing I noticed was that the LCD on my bricked device was a very clear white constantly, when it was off, like it had burnt out completely and the new dopod had a dark black LCD with no visible boarders, clearly showing the lcd was stuffed. so if the bricked device has a screen which has a clear white boarder on the lcd like a white picture in a blck frame its really stuffed. but yea the only way u can fix it is by sending it off to your dealer for repair or try and get a replacement out of them!

I had the same issue. Turned out the video chip had come loose from the board and a couple of necessary connections weren't happening. I had to send mine in for repair.

I was out of warranty and sent mine to PPCtechs. They sent it back as good as new with a shiny screen protector.
