Hi, I need some help urgently. I have a 4 month old unrooted Desire on t-mobile, updated to Gingerbread and running GoLauncherEx, with approx 30mb of memory remaining. It's well looked after, has a screen protector and gel case and hasn't been dropped, wetted etc.
Yesterday, whilst I was using it I noticed an occasional "flickering" - bright white horizontal lines randomly appearing on the screen. Initially I put it down to electrical interference of some sort - there were storm clouds outside and my washing machine was running (not sure if this is even possible, I'm not a techie!). However, it quickly got worse, more lines appearing until the screen greyed out completely. Now I'm getting all sorts of random effects - "snowy" screen, black, multiple lines, etc.
At first I thought it might be a problem with the screen. The phone still receives calls and I've noticed that, when I can see, it is sort of working, albeit very slowly. I am occasionally able to interact with it, but this is very limited, the screen is mostly unresponsive. The phone is also switching the screen off very quickly - it was set to timeout after 2 mins, but now doing so in less than 30 secs. Just once it appeared to return to normal operation, but this lasted around 1 minute. I'm currently unable to do much more than turn it on and off!
I've tried turning it off, taking out the battery, but this makes no difference. I turned it off overnight in the vain hope it would return to normal this morning, but no joy.
Any suggestions or help would be most gratefully appreciated.
