Slowly dying diamond. Help.

[Skeptisk]

Hi. Ok, first of all I have done some research on the forum, but I haven't really found any answer for my problem.

I have a Htc touch diamond. And I installed a rom from the forum, i beleive it was the "shine"-rom. However now i gets weird....

The day after, everything was normal, and then all of a sudden my backlight gets really dim. Ok, could be a small bug i thought.
A few hours later it got darker and it was hard to see what was on the display.

And later on the evening it got almost all black. I couldn't quite tell what was what on the display.

The next day, and still, its totally dead. There is no light in the "ring" when i plug in the charger, and i cant get it to show any life.

I have tried everything, left it in the charger for a whole day, swapped battery, reset, hard reset, super hard reset. left it without battery for a day. Nothing.

Help me out. Any ideas?
Ps. There is no warranty on the phone.

Thanks!! :confused:

Wow... have not seen this before...

Even now, are you unable to even switch on your diamond? If you can't, don't see any way to revive it. If you can, try to flash another ROM and see if it improves...

How can I flash it again, if I cant even turn it on? hmmm....

Nothing? No idea?

I opened it up, but that didn't shed any major light on the situation....:(

Can you get it into bootloader? {Hold Vol. down button while pressing power}
If it will go into bootloader, you can flash from there

Nope. He can't even get it to turn on. Don't think it'll be able to boot into bootloader...

It just seems odd that bootloader won't even load. If it was something that damaged the OS then the BL should at least fire up. But, I just re-read everything again & see that there is no mention of Hard-SPL, so maybe it damaged the Boot sector as well.
If he didn't Hard_SPL then: This is a great example as to why you should always Hard-SPL before flashing anything.
If he did Hard_SPL: Then this is one for the medical journals {a disease that no-one's heard of & it's a killer}

Hi again.

I did actually Hard-Spl. And i have tried different ROM's earlier and I never had any problems.

I dont have a clue what to do, and without any warranty im basicly screwed.

I was thinkin, maybe I could get som spare part? Seeing how the "ring" doesn't even light up when I plug in the charger??

When my "ring" didn't light up I had to send the phone back to HTC and they changed the motherboard. Phone wasn't charging or turning on at all.
