My G1 screen goes black and will not come back

[LindseyIva]

I keep having to take out my battery and turning it back on just to see my screen!


does anyone know what the problem is?





edit//

NOW! when I turn it on, it will go to the menu screen but when I close the qwerty keyboard it goes blank and will not go back.


I have no idea what's going on.

do you have "locale" installed? That seemed to be the issue with mine when it did that.

First, are your battery is original? If not, it maybe have some problem with your battery. Try a OEM battery on it. If the battery is oem and cant still work. Maybe you have to take the second measure.
Second, there is something wrong with your phone connection. Try to tear down it and reassemble it. It may be helpful. But please be careful when taking apart and installing the phone. It is advisable to find a take apart video for reference.
