[Q] Defy Screen Light Fluctuated and now not Turning On

[Scotty83]

Hi ,

I Have a defy red lens, last night it was working fine but suddenly the screen light started to fluctuate and then it went off but in background the phone was working and i can feel the vibrations when touching the scree, i tried battery removal but to no avail.

i m receiving massage, mail and calls but the screen in always black and i can even unlock the screen( feel the vibrations of unlocking the screen and answer the calls).

also tried removed the screen protector but still the same problem.

i can see some moisture under the screen so i have berried my defy into rice and i ll see if the problem was due to moisture.

I was using Esspy's latest CM9 with Froyo kernel

please see if some one can help me to revive my Defy again..

Thanks in advance

Can you see anything on the screen when you boot up ? Can you get into recovery and see it ? If yes try wiping cache and dalvik cache . If that doesn't work try reflashing ...

 

[Scotty83]

Did you try just pulling the battery out and booting it up again ?

more than 10 times but still getting nothing on screen, even not able to see recovery and boot menue

yes this is what i think( my warranty was expired last month) and not able to see bootloader, screen just fluctuates and goes off but the led's are working fine so as the physical buttons.

So might be u have to try to dismantle your defy and let it dry. There were some posts on it that such 'dead' defy came back to life after a week or so, but much better way was described by Auris (try to find his post) - he took it apart, dried and voila

I have seen on a few occasion that my backlight dies, but it is related to the ambient light sensor. When this happens, I can enable manual brightness from the notification bar, just because I know where it is on the screen. After switching to manual brightness it works again, even when I go back to auto.

Having said all that... you cannot see the bootloader menu where the light sensor is not used, so it's probably not related.

Thank u guys for you help, as i have said that my defy is in rice box now for almost 7-8 hours so i ll go home in another 3-4 hours and see if there is any improvement in its condition.

also want to know if i can see the boot loader would you guys suggest me to flash froyo ?

Thanks

Still no Screen light and i can see moisture in the bottom of screen so i have decided to send the phone to service center and see what they can do with the same.

 

[Scotty83]

Screen was burnt from inside so the service center guys changed it, it cost me 2850 INR (arnd $50), and they also changed my battery.. so now i ll gain have a running defy after 2long days.

Thanks everybody for their help

They'll charge 2-3k for anything, I mean they said it'll cost me around 3500 Rs and they have to change screen n motherboard, I had my screen damaged due to water. I went home kept it under light for 3 to 4 hours and it's now wrking fine.

Tried that, it semi-worked before (you could see something on the screen and sometimes the backlight would come on as normal) now it doesn't work at all

(The phone boots, and touchscreen reacts, but the screen is pitch black).

I guess I'll have to get my game on with the Torx 5 screwdriver and dry the phone on the inside.
