I don't think its the same issue as this but has anyone had their screen going black without it being fuzzy? Mine has just started doing it and it seems like a software logic fault rather than a hardware issue.

It goes black but if you let it timeout (like it would do if the screen was on and you left it until the screen deactivated) and then press a key or open the slider the screen comes on fine. The fault usually happens when the screen is starting to dim and then you press a key or open the slider to activate the phone and it fades to black rather than lighting up.

I wondered if it was due to the number of messages I had in one conversation slowing the phone down too much so I've deleted those and done an off-battery out-on cycle to reset it. Clutching at straws I know!

I got my C905 from Dialaphone (T-Mobile 12 month contract) in March 09. At the beginning of June the earpiece audio went - I couldn't hear people but they could hear me. It was sent off for repair to Dialaphone/A-Novo repair centre in Norwich. They debranded the phone (removed T-Mobiles branding) and flashed the phone - they didn't replace any cable. Got it back a week later and it worked perfectly until a few days ago when the phone began to freeze and then the colours on the screen/display became distorted. Photos would appear fuzzy and the phone would turn itself off. If I switched it back on the screen/display would remain black/blank although you could tell the phone was on as the keypad's LEDs were lit. I tried reinstalling the software from the SE website (update service) but this didn't help. It has now been sent back to Dialaphone/Anovo in Norwich to be repaired again.
