Display problem - who can help

[edje16mtg]

Hello everybody,

-3 weeks ago a had the first problem with my display: it was gone and when i tried to reset the screen was almost un-alignable. only after a lot of resets it worked again!

-now since yesterday my screen stopped working. All the other functions work like phone etc., but I only see the backlight of the screen and nothing else. I tried to reset, hard-reset and took the whole artemis apart. Only saw a little black spot on the displayconnector (can it overheat?!)

When trying to reset for a hundred times it worked three times! I was able to do a hard-reset with screen, but that's it.

-Another thing I notice is that when I try to charge my artemis it takes longer then normal for the orange charging-light to light-up. Also after 10-15 seconds it starts to blink in stead of constant-lighting-up.

I'm running Artemis touch 4.02 with battery status on 201 mhz (was running 247 mhz until hard reset yesterday). Radiorom: 3.21.90. Accesoires: sandisk 8gb sdhc.

Who can help??? Will fitting a new display do the job?

What a coincidence, my screen also stopped functioning yesterday for several hours and I was forced to use mouse mode, until it just started working again but needed to be aligned several times over 20mins of use.

Today, same problem. It comes and goes, needs constant realigning...

I'll be doing some surgery again when I get home tomorrow, dunno about black spots yet.

I've just replaced the digitizer on it and I suspect a contact has come loose on the back of the LCD (I hope!).

Anybody else have any ideas?

so you think it's a problem of the display, rather then the main board or something like that? because I don't get a view on the display at all, only backlight.

I'm doubting on buying a new screen for about 40 US dollar. Would be sore if that didn't solve the problem.

p.s. took the artemis apart again yesterday: saw a minor damage on the display's connector. If that can cause all this, then a new screen would be the solution I think. But how does the connector get damaged???

Did you buy just the digitizer or the whole screen?

I think by buying the cheapest digitizer I could find is where I went wrong, looks like I'm shopping for another one...
