My phone's display screen is really messed up most of the time. Some times the screen's color is just as they are supposed to be. And other times, well most of the times its really messed up. And sometimes is just turnes completely white and I have to take out the battary and reinsert it. Then is can work for a short period.

I have tried to flash the phone both main and fs and also did a erom update and nothing seems to help, I even paid for the "service". So far waste of money.

Any ideas other then to throw the phone out of the window?

Any help is really appreciated.

I have uploaded a short video clip of my phone's screen at rapidshare. Its a .mov file here ---> http://rapidshare.com/files/78810634/PICT0102.MOV

as you have managed to flash your phone by yourself, you must know how to upload files ypur phone.

the location of the display driver is:

ifs/settings/dispdriver

The few ppl who looked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glaNZ11n3wg
Have you seen something similar and how sure are you that its the display driver or are you "only guessing" ?

Has happened one or two times on my K800 when I used it (what the video was showing). A simple restart fixed it

But could be a monday phone

I have tried to restart the phone many times. It can work for a few hours, then it looks all messed up again. So that "trick" won't help in this case.

Oh, ok. Sounds like something is broken inside it.

Isn't there any way I can find out if its the hardware or software thats faulty?
Without sending it to a service center?
