BlackBerry Smartphones BlackBerry 9780 - screen early failure - what should I do?

I have a BlackBerry 9780 which I bought from a friend who has improved his own phone.

I would have gone directly to a BlackBerry of any sort of tesco on contract, but the situation at the time made it difficult.

I started my contract with O2/Tesco with a Samsung BlackBerry look-alike.  A few weeks later, I bought a BlackBerry PlayBook and realized that get t as the most out of that I also had to have a BlackBerry phone.  Tesco wouldn't let me exchange the samsung I have been more than a month in contract with another 23 months to go.  Then buy the 9780 at my companion, it was really the only option.  Tesco sorted guys my BlackBerry connection for me - fair play to them, they were superb!

I gave the wife the Samsung!

The 9780 has been great.  I've used it since about January/February of this year.  My companion had sent it to a repair/refurb, (of course, the central navigation button was faulty), before it was sold to me.

I noticed that there is a small area that was black on the screen, it looks a bit like a diagram of rorschash, (it is the best way to describe it).  I happened to be in the other day from Maplin and I showed it to a guy who seems to be very well informed.

He believes that the screen is depixelling or words to that effect.

I need it to last at least 18 months until my contract is in place, and then I'll renew and get another.

What is the best couse of action?

Hello

as far as I know, the dead pixel or black spots will be little bit greater over a long period of time.

9700 & 9780 are tough phones, is one of the best Blackberry produced, but he has a weakness

that is the screen / lcd screen. Sometimes, it gives you a black spot, dead, blank screen of white or black blankscreen pixel.

the replacement are normally made in China, they have different qualities.

so make sure that if you take it to a local repairman, you are given a minimum of two weeks guarantee

It is only a 2 minute job for replaces it, simply remove the 6 screws and 2 clips

but the problem is that sometimes you do not get a good replacement.

Once I tried 5 screens before I get a good.

and once you use a replacement screen, ready to be replaced again after 4 to 6 months if your unlucky.

Here's how its done

  • my screen is dirty, what should you use to clean?

    my screen is dirty, what should you use to clean?

    LCD or CRT?

    If it is a CRT glass, you can use Windex and paper towel. Spray a little on the towel, just enough to moisten it (not enough to leave any term) and wipe the display until it is clean. Follow up with a scrap of paper dry towel or microfibre.

    If it's an LCD screen (even on a laptop), you can use the same method, but NEVER use a napkin on the screen LCD; Instead, use a microfibre cloth. They are less likely to scratch.

    On any type of screen, it is a good idea to use something like a can of compressed air to blow something loose there first before wiping.

    Or is it not important?

    No, your main folder of Messages ON your BlackBerry. If you check your BlackBerry email a subfolder named by your email... then find the name Messages. Highlight is it, find messages and delete them or read them etc.

  • BlackBerry smartphones my 9780 is constantly freezing

    My 9780 is constantly freezing. A battery pull is all I can do to unlock the device, but it still freezes quite quickly.

    If I turn on the phone and check the messages and social feeds the phone usually works normally until I stop.

    Once I hung up, or put it in my pocket it freezes.

    The only case where this problem occurs, is when I have the phone connected to my computer.

    Can I have the phone while charging through the outlet and it freezes, but it never happens when I am attached to my computer.

    It of extremely frustrating and left me without a reliable way for people to join me.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry 9780 keeps continuously restarting without booting.

    Hello guys,.

    I have a Blackberry Bold 9780. It was working fine until this morning until what I installed an update for the application of the Tube map. After that it automatically restarted and has been permanently by doing so without even entering the operating system once. In other words, it just keeps restarting itself without actually starting. I tried to enter safe mode, even that does not work!

    Any suggestions as to what should I do next?

    Thank you very much...

    If safe mode does not work. Reload your OS. Read this article. How to perform a clean Windows for BlackBerry Device Software reload.

    Good luck!

  • Smartphones blackBerry 9780 - sudden loss of autonomy

    Hi, I use a Bold 9780 on OS 6.0 Bundle 2534.

    I use my phone for a little less than a year and usually my battery life after one day of use will be about 60%, after a full day of use, but recently, before the end of the day that my battery life would suddenly jump about 50% all the way until it says that the life of the battery is too low for radio use and so the radio is turned off. What should I do about it?

    Thank you.

    It is a classic sign of a loan from Li - ion (as used in BlackBerry phones) for retirement.  Lithium-Ion batteries are slowly fading, they almost all Pack into all of a sudden.  I would say it is time to go shopping to the battery.  Usually, you should get a few good years of one of these batteries, but it shows signs of him take his last breath already.

    I hope that helps you.

  • Partial blackBerry smartphones load black screen

    I need help with my Blackberry 9700.  I noticed that he had a blank screen and was unresponsive, so I pulled the battery with no luck.

    It shows the loading screen (with an initial red LED) for 90% of the way and then goes to a blank screen.

    No lights are on, and no noise alerts are heard (I tried to take a picture to hear the click).

    One thing that I had not noticed before was the double arrow in the upper right, which I think is the icon of send/receive.  When it displays in the top-right corner, it is extremely distorted, and then seems normal shortly after.

    What should I do?  I am away from home for the evening and could not connect to the Desktop Manager.  But is this my only option now?

    Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    I think your best bet for the device OS. Make sure you get a complete backup of your device using the desktop software, before recharging.

    Thank you

  • BLACKBERRY Smartphones blackBerry 9780

    Friday (May 6, 2011), I've upgraded to a BlackBerry 9780.

    May 11, 2011, I handed the phone to Vodacom Westgate J as it was freezing and does not make or accept calls. Phone shows full signal and the name of the network.

    They sent to Cresta to repair.

    May 17, Westgate Vodacom has replaced with a new phone.

    On 19 may, I showed Vodacom Westgate as the phone again had the same problem as the old. We turned off the phone and he did and accepted calls.

    May 22 I had to reboot the phone to use it.

    On May 23 I talked to Vodacom Westgate and they said I can bring the phone and they will send it.

    This morning may 24 I handed the phone to repair and he was again sent off for six days? s.

    Now, someone has a theory and that the problem with my sim card (a card that works in my HTC, my previous Nokia and Ericsson, all smart phones).

    Nobody at Vodacom can give me South Africa Blackberry contact numbers so that I can tell them that I think they are dumping obsolete phones on us.

    And thinking that Blackberry users think that it's the best thing since Jell-o was invented, wait until they get their hands on the BlackBerry 9780 and find it is the closest thing to hell.

    You bet that BlackBerry 9780 is a dud, but you want to keep under wraps because you're afraid of losing customers

    You bet you're wrong. It really is the best thing since sliced bread. The Frost is past.

    During your registration to this Forum, and when you have accepted the EULA, you would have noticed that specific to the notice that it is a community of users support forum. We are not be used RIM/BlackBerry. We are users like you (well, not exactly like you) who love to help others get the most out of BlackBerry, because 90% of problems are often questions of the user that can be fixed with a click or two on an option.

    So, your SIM card that works in your Nokia, HTC and Ericsson... you should get the NEW card SIM of Mr. J Vodacom Westgate, or they should just trade for you. The 9780 is quite a bit more advanced that the devices that you have named, and the SIM card must also be the latest they have. Even though a lot of SIM cards are similar, it is separate technical differences between even all SIMs that are rated as 3 G SIMs, because as a technology, then make the SIMs.

    I get the camera back that you gave to, or require a new unit. There is absolutely NO reason to send a new unit less than a month, to make repair. Most likely, he needs a new SIM card, and/or upgrade the operating system to the latest official version.

    As you bought the device of Vodacom, your contract for technical and warranty support is with Vodacom, who then will escalate issues to support technical level RIM. If they don't you should ask. It isn't a phone number to call, he will manage the transfer and climbing.

    If you need help with the software upgrades, ask to your, we will help. Just to come here to complain won't get you anything other than get it off your chest. If you don't want, done.

    Good luck.

  • Dead pixel blackBerry Smartphones and the problem with the case of my BlackBerry 9780

    Hello world

    Recently, I bought a BlackBerry 9780 by Vodafone Spain (23 December) and I found a few problems.

    One of them is the presence of a dead pixel in the upper right and the feeling of the case a little weak in the left side that, when you touch it you can feel it creaks a bit.

    I would like to know if the warranty of BlackBerry or Vodafone Spain will cover this problem or if some of the new users of this model of BlackBerry noticied some of these problems and knows how to solve this problem.

    Sorry if they have problems with spelling. My usual language is Spanish .

    Thank you very much.

    A dead pixel is a hardware fault, and there is no miracle for her.

    Check if you can get a replacement.

  • Spectrum of HP x 360 13-4100nn: dead touchscreen HP spectrum x 360 - early failure

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP spectrum x 360 13-4100nn and after two days the touch screen stops working.

    I have tryied all of the recommended patches:

    -updates to drivers, BIOS, OS

    -Recovery system + factory reset (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02638587)

    -BIOS restore (http://support.hp.com/ee-en/document/c02693833)

    No effect!

    In addition, the touch screen does not work in the BIOS, it appears in the Windows Device Manager and HP PC (UEFI) Hardware Diagnostics does not detect all "tactile" to diagnose, then it is not related to the operating system.

    So I guess it's an "early failure.

    I also mention that drivers up to date (with Assistant HP) at one point, a black window (text mode) appeared and attempted to update a firmware. There was a series of mistakes (something like "step 1...") error, step 2... error, step 3... error..."). in the end, the text became all red and 'Update FAILED... «Press ENTER» Unfortunately has happened very quickly, in a few seconds, and I had no time to learn which component/driver had tried to update. I guess that she had tried to update the display with a wrong (?) firmware. This update has failed happened some time before I detected that the touch screen does not work, that is why I think they might be related.

    What can I do?

    Is it possible to restore the original firmware of the screen? Or is the case of real hardware failure?

    I hope that a technician will contact me private.

    Thanks in advance.
