Nokia N85 screen completely black

Hello. I recently bought a nokia n85 off ebay, it works fine except for the menu button and the screen is completely black, not even the screen backlight turns on. All of the components are properly inserted, but problem still persists. I have connected the phone to the TV using TV-out cable and the phone is working properly. All i want to know is it an LCD problem or a flex cable problem? I can't tell by myself.

It's not any easier for us to tell either and since we cannot discuss disasembling here you will have to search for help some where else on a unofficial forum.
What I can suggest is that you drop by a Nokia care point and ask if they can have a look at it.
Good luck!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • How do I make my iMac screen completely black - without sleep or turning it off?

    I have somebody sleeping in my office who finds the light from my iMac disturbing, even when it's turned down to the lowest level.
    Is there an easy way, just for a few days, to make the screen completely black at night - I don't want it to sleep or to switch it off so I can use it early in the morning remotely.

    What you are suggesting, puts the computer to sleep. just what fusbariclation does not want to do. He/she just wants to put the display to sleep.
    On my iMac, my Macbook Pro, my Wife's Macbook Air and her Macbook Pro the Control-Shift-Eject just turns off the screen, but the iMac continues to run, which if very important for me, as my iMac is a web server for the rest of my team at work.  I generally hit Control-Shift-Eject as I'm leaving the office every night.
    HOWEVER, since the OP (Fustbariclation) wants to access the iMac remotely, and wants the screen to be blacked out during the remote access so it will not disturb the guest in the same room with the iMac, my Control-Shift-Eject does not work for the OP.  I missed that essential tidbit in the original problem description.
    Other contributes have come through with working solutions for Fustbariclation

  • Nokia N8 screen goes black in sunlight

    I have this peculiar problem. Whenever i make a call walking in broad daylight (exposing the screen to the light) the screen goes black and it takes sometime before i am able to hold or end that particular call. This happens only when i make a call under sunlight. I have tried closing/opening the light sensor near the top end of the phone, but no effect anyway. Why does this happen?
    Solved!

    Finally, I think i have found the solution! I noticed that this problem always happens when I recieve a call with the handset in a locked state. So, when i pressed the lock key on the side of the handset (during a call with 'screen blackout'), the screen came alive again!
    But, nokia should correct this bug. Hope this helps others...
    That ain't a solution. It's a work around, but a very annoying one.
    I have a question. When you swipe your nail on th screen from left to right or from the right to left and go over the frame, do you feel that the display is lower than the frame?
    On flawless N8's, you shouldn't hang with your nail at the frame.. 
    I say this is a hardware issue. I have two N8's and one has the same issue. Turning the Light Sensor down doesn't help. And the affected N8 has a display that is lower than the frame and you will hang at the frame with your nail when doing the swipe move on the display.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer Screen completely black

    When trying to install Adobe Flash Player, Mac 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4, the Adobe Flash Player Installer page and popup screens are completely black and not accessible.

    A) The screenshot didn't work. It's not complex to visualize. Just imagine a window in the app "Install Adobe Flash Player" which has the words Adobe Flash Player Installer in the top most horizontal section, on the same level as the Mac Red and Yellow circles. Then imagine that everything below that level is completely black. That's what it looks like.
    B) When I went to Installation problems | Mac, and hit "
    Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
    then I get a Safari tab http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg. The entire window area below the tab line is also completely black. Plus there is a pop-up that says "Plug-in blocked for this website"

  • OS2 - Camera screen completely black

    I had some issues with the camera giving me gray bars while I was on the beta. I upgraded and saw the same thing so I did a security wipe. Now all I get is a completely black screen. The pull down menu does show up, but there is nothing in the app window at all. Restarting hasn't helped either. Any idea how I can get my camera back?

    I did another security wipe and OS load from Desktp Manager. This time it loaded  1 component instead of 69. When it was done, I also had my default wallpaper, video, and music back that were not present after the OS load I did at work yesterday. The camera didn't work right after the load though. I've rebooted several times since then.

  • ITunes turns screen completely black

    Whenever I open iTunes everything turns black for a while.

    It's really annoying. Ignore the stuff in the Task Bar

    Same issue, same screen. I've tried switching to 16bit, but that doesn't help, so I've put it back to 32bit.
    Reinstalling, alt+tab out of/into iTunes doesn't work either.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Nokia 6300 screen turning black every 10 seconds

    I recently replaced the LCD in my 6300 and this is happening, I have reset the phone and done a software update and it is still occuring. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Since you have reset and also updated the firmware and it is still happening, it is probably a hardware issue. Return your phone to the Nokia Care Point which replaced your lcd for them to check it out for you.

  • Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

    Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

  • I dropped my iPhone 5 and the screen is completely black and when i plug it into my computer it constantly beeps.  When I call it it doesn't go straight to voicemail but my phone doesn't ring.  Rebooting it doesn't work.  What is the problem?

    My screen has been cracked for a while now and today I dropped it and parts of the screen on top came off and the phone went completely black.  I tried calling it and it rings as usual on the line but my iphone doesn't make any sound.  I just plugged in my phone to my macbook and i am still able to import pictures and send imessages but while it's plugged in my phone constantly beeps..the same beeping as it does when its on the charger but it's just one beep every couple seconds.  People have been telling me it could be the LCD..any thoughts?

    Ask Verizon.
    If you don't know whether you have AppleCare+, you can find out warranty information by entering the serial number at http://selfsolve.apple.com. The serial number can be found under Settings > General > About > Serial Number, if you are still able to use the phone. If not, eject the SIM card tray from the right side of the phone using a paper clip or SIM unlock tool. It is in very tiny print on the rim of the tray.
    You cannot purchase AppleCare+ if it's been after 30 days or the phone has already been damaged like yours.

  • My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.
