Is my S200 beyond repair?

[mpmf]

After I tried to upgrade the rom to WM6, my JAMin got stuck at bootloader. After that, I tried to flash WM5 roms without success and suddenly (after a reset) the screen became white with some horizontal and vertical lines constantly moving. I discovered that it was only the screen that was garbled as it still connected to PC, so I installed (without seeing anything on my JAMin) the NVID ROM trying to restore it. It installed sucessfully, but the screen remained garbled with the white background and random lines. I know it was sucessfully installed because I heard the typical "welcome" sound before configuration.

Do you know any way to restore the screen? Or must I send it to I-Mate to repair?

You can try and reattach the screen cable to the rest of the device, but this will boid any warranty you have, and may damage your device further. If the device is under warranty, I would suggest flashing the ROM the device came with (unfortunately the FTP server is down at the moment, so it might take some fishing around for) and sending the device back to get repaired properly.

Hi frd,
I have exactly the same problem!
Nothing , only the f*** white screen!
I can browse the device via active sync, can rcv calls but the white screen.
I have checked the ribbon connector of the LCD and make reflashing some ROMs but nothing.
I still wondering is it hardware or software problem!
Please let me know if you have progress!

Thanks
G.

Try to replace LCD module, I think thats right way.

It will be a hard ware problem. Probably the ribbon cable as the screen is showing something so it must be working at least a bit.

Hello,

i have the same Problem with my QTEK S200.

First i changed the Rom and it worked perfectly for two days.
Then i had to change my Sim card and after that the problem came again.
I tryed a lot of times to reflash the rom but the problem persist.

How can it be that it worked again for some days ?!

is it the touchscreen of the lcd unit i have to replace ?

is it possible to do it by my self ?

thanks for your help !

Hi everyone.

I had a similar problem an hour ago (Qtek S200 G3):
I Upgraded to a 6.1 rom and then to another, after that my device was stuck in bootloader(3 colour screen). Any 6.1 rom that I tried would install, but after installation device always boot in to the 3 colour screen.
I tried this original shipped rom http://files.mail.ru/HZUAH1 (it's WorldWidwEnglish) (to download just click the link "скачать" or the file name RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
) and it installed!!! It TAKES A WHILE TO INSTALL!!! But it worked!!!
May want to try it.
Hope this helps.

hello,

picture on screen was immediatly clean again ( bootload image ).
it was impossible to change the rom because i have a G4 model.
i flashed the rom with another french rom for G4 and it worked perfekt.
now i tried to remove the battery again for 3 seconds and now i have the same problem again. really strange ....

i tryed the same procedure again but no success.

[djlinQ]

I reinstalled differents rom's again starting always installation from bootloader.
After about 10 new installations i've clean picture again.
now i'll not put off, restart, or take of battery till one of you know what's the problem.

Thank you for your help !!

are you guys sure its not an intermitant hardware problem, it sounds like it to me. if yu were able to get a clean picture for a short time and now its white again, it cannot be the rom? As for replacing it, nothing is impossible and there is always ebay and google:D

How can I CID unlock a device that need´s that to upgrade the Rom?
Is there already any program that , Lockwiz dont do the job, can performe the unlock?
Thank you.

[l3v5y]

For G4 CID unlocking, you need to user Hard/Soft SPL.

:( my imate jamin got the same problem. it happens only and only when I remove the battery and when I leave it to charge for 1-2 days the LCD works again and show clear pic. any suggestion? activesync and &... are all ok!

[djlinQ]

Well, i upgraded to windows Mobile 6, but haven't removed the batterie anymore.

But i'm able to put it off now, what was impossible before.
