Hello,

In short: My HTC Touch HD's lcd screen is broken on the inside. Not the glass part you touch on the outside. I've sent it for repair but the warranty didn't cover it. However, he also said illegal software was found on my phone and it somehow messed with my hardware so my mainboard had to be replaced as well. My question is: Is this even possible?

I had olinex 1.56 installed and the official htc ROM. I don't see how software could damage my Hd's mainboard.

Thanks in advance

Did you replace the ROM?

I had duttythroy HD V3.6 XT Final, but flashed it back when my lcd broke down.

I don't think that any software could damage your hardware, unless it causes over-heating...

They just need an excuse to charge for the repairs. You fiddle with your device - you loose your warranty. Motherboard is probably the most expensive part, so they make you replace it to teach you a lesson. It's very unlikely it was damaged by any kind of software.

its Hard SPL. apparantly knackers your m/b and if HTC see this on the phone they void the warranty....
