Bad Display? :-(

[Markus Schlichting]

Hello,
since I got the Neo about three weeks ago, I've been in trouble with the 
display. It is completely de-calibrated. It'is not possible to use the phone, 
but I get the click-sound.
I've been to the IRC and asked for a calibration program - there are two. 
ts_calibrate and xtscal.
But, unfortunately, running those commands gives me the follwing output:

root at fic-gta01:~$ ts_calibrate
xres = 480, yres = 640
Took 6 samples...
Top left : X = 1022 Y =    0
Took 16 samples...
Top right : X = 1022 Y =    1
Took 22 samples...
Bot right : X = 1022 Y =    1
Took 16 samples...
Bot left : X = 1023 Y =    0
Took 11 samples...
Center : X = 1022 Y =    1

Sometimes, it happens that point 2 to 4 give coordinates which seem to make 
sense, and I can at least use the lower half of the display, switch to the 
applications menu and get a light feeling for the ui. I've never seen the 
first two points with other coordinates as those shown above.
Anyway, even this half calibration is alway gone very very fast again...

Also, running ts_test, another test tool for the display, Henryk suggested to 
me, give me bogus output:

root at fic-gta01:~$ ts_test

1193621558.001493:  -8840   7304      1
1193621558.016494:  -9056   7008      1

1193621558.046386:  -8840   7304      1
1193621558.061388:  -8732   7452      1
1193621558.076394:  -9056   7008      1

And the cursor is not following my pen. Initially it is in the center of the 
display, but as soon as I touch the display, it's gone....

After working out and discussing those facts (a big thank you to everyone who 
helped me!), we came to a point where Henryk told me that roh had suggested 
to open the phone and reseat the display connector. It took me some time to 
come back to the phone, but a couple a minutes ago, i finally opened it (as 
shown in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Disassembling_Neo1973) and tried to 
find the connector - without real success - where is it? :-)

Has anyone another idea what i could to to get the display working again?


Thank you,
best regards
 Markus
