@godmitch: Just sent an email to the german site listed in my first post. I will let you know if they reply to me. They used to have that part listed but I dont see it there anymore. Seems very strange that that sould be the part that fails.... oh well. |

There is a little magnetic sensor inside your phone on the main circuit board in the top left corner. If the sensor detects a magnet it turns of your main screen and turns on the external one. Some phone covers have a magnet that causes the sensor to think the phone is closed thus the main screen gets turned off. Hope this helps. |

Do you have a phone cover on your phone? If so remove it to see if that was causing the problem. If not then remove the housing from the top section of your phone. There is a little magnet inside the housing just to the left of the 1.3 Megapixel sticker that interacts with the sensor on the lower part of the phone so it can tell when the phone is closed and turn on the external screen.
Power up your phone when you have removed the housing from the top section to see if the main screen is now working as it should. If this does not fix it then you may have a faulty sensor that thinks a magnet is present and turns off the main screen.
On a phone that is working correctly you can get a small fridge magnet and pass it over the area to the left of the left hinge and the main screen will turn off. It could be that the magnet in your new housing is too strong. Here is a picture showing the sensor.

If the part is not there now does it look as if it has ever been there?

If it has snapped off then you will have to send it to a service centre. If it was never there then your phone might have a different set up from my V802SE. Can see why your phone would be different from mine though. Are the 2 solder points there where the sensor should be? Maybe you could post a picture of your phone here so I can see what is wrong. |
