Hello all,
My 9500 has developed an annoying flicker on the inside/PDA screen.
When I open the phone, the screen is white. Eventually it regains normal appearance, but with a flicker. With about 30 more seconds, the flicker disappears and scrren behaves normal.
Started out a while ago, has continued getting worse. I've noticed that if it has been a while since I opened the phone, it is worse than if I've been opening/closing it often (seems to "warm up" with repeated open/close?).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?
TIA.
Best,
Brian
Sounds to me like the CCFL (Backlight) needs replacing,
Does it get better or disappear quicker if you turn the backlight up?
Carl,
Carl,
How do you turn the backlight up?
Oh, I see. No, modifying the brightness and contrast has no effect on the problem. What seems to have the most impact on it is how long the PDA part of the phone has been closed. The longer it's closed, the more severe the problem.
Since I've first posted, it's gotten worse; ie, takes longer to return to normal. Almost like an old TV warming up.
Nokia has advised me to remove the battery for a few minutes to reboot it. Seemed to get worse!
At any rate, I'm not thrilled with the prospect of shipping it off for repairs. All comments and recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks!
Try to open VERY SLOWLY the pda. My phone does the same thing and this is how i avoid the problem.
Thanks, Primetime.
I thought that at one time, also. I hope that your 9500 doesn't develop this problem.
I keep thinking of the design problem with the Psion series 3; I think that the ribbon was the problem on that.
At any rate, thanks to all for your kind suggestions. I'm shipping the unit back to Nokia for repair/replace. The condition has gotten progressively worse, and it is no longer readable.
I'll let you know how it plays out.
yes, my nokia 3230 had same problem. and flicker will gone if I lower the brighness. and the flicker more worse when more brightness. I try to soft and hard format, but the problem stil.
:con?
