This concerned me so I decided to take it to the sprint store in a day or two when I find time to have them take a look at it.
Well... just 15 mins ago I got a e-mail notification so I picked up my phone to see what it was pushed the button to turn the screen on... no deal. The 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom come on but not the screen. I can hear the phone when a text or e-mail comes in but the screen is black. I jumped up and decided to go to the sprint store but it closes in a few mins. and there is no way I can make it.
Anybody have a fix? or... has this happened to anyone else?
here is a video of the problem.

Just call in and order a replacement, switch your TP2 back on, and forget about it. Not meant as criticism, just a suggestion, don't sweat the small stuff, because "it's all small stuff". This also is why everyone should keep a backup phone. I've had my Evo for almost 2 weeks now, and still haven't switched it over to my phone number (Google IO unit). I will sell my TP2 later, but still keep a Mogul as a backup. While it's no fun to have stuff fail on its own, it happens, and for sure it fails from dropping it in the toilet lol.
I appreciate folks telling us about the failures, we should know. I just hate to see anyone get very upset about it, because compared to the things life will eventually send your way, this sort of thing will almost be beyond recollection later on. I do understand, I remember being very upset decades ago when someone hit my new car in the first week I had it. Now, I don't even worry about those things. And trust me, it feels better not to "sweat the small stuff". That's one of the few benefits of getting old lol
