Screen crashed - only White Noise

[helsinki_boy]

Hello,

I have an S620 running WM6.1. Everything has worked well for ages, but for no apparent reason today the screen "crashed" and is 90% white noise (like a TV with the antenna cable pulled out).

I tried a cold boot which seemed to work, but when I then shutdown and put the SIM back in and re-started - no dice. Back to WHite noise. I have subsequently tried a few more cold boots but all I get now is the top 10 % of the screen shows the green windows startup logo all squashed up.

The wierd thing is the phone itself appears to still work - but the screen is useless.

Can anyone offer any help ?

thanks

You can easily get a cheap on off ebay and then there is a youtube video that demonstrates to you how to install a new screen. Its fairly simple and cheap.

ok, thanks for this guys. Its a bit strange that its a cracked screen as I haven't dropped the phone and it looks in perfect condition from the outside. I did wonder if perhaps the internal ribbon cable might have fractured somehow or become loose.

I will crack the phone open and have a fiddle !

If anyone else has any thoughts I#d much appreciate it.

The phone isn't worth much but I really like it. I even handed back a Nokia E90 communicator (which I personally think is crap) to my company because I prefer the 620 with WM6.1.
