or u would have to ship it out somewhere?
Is there any screen diagnostics they can do to check on trble... like ##xxxx# ... then see hardware trble there or somthing ... trying to get as much info as possible.. because when i go in there if i cant get it to duplicate ... they will be like ... no trouble found

So, yesterday morning (3/9/09), my phone decided to die. Being in the IT field, I've become pretty good at trouble-shooting, and narrowed this down to the graphics processor/chip. My phone stopped going into Landscape mode, and the splash screens would be in 3 different places upon restarting. Text messages started turning into "snow" (you know, that scrambled TV channel thing
). Eventually, nothing would appear on the screen after soft resets. I took this in to the Sprint repair store, and was given a brand new one right out of the box. Best part of all, my cost was $0. I would suggest anyone having these issues to take your phone in (Might want to put back on stock ROM if you can still see the screen.) The person I spoke with said that they had seen this issue before, but it wasn't very common. Could possibly be some faulty soldering on the board, and the chip came loose or something.
Cheers,
Mojo
