Help Patchy GSM reception after screen replacement

[mrkipling]

I've recently replaced the LCD in my orange branded HTC desire. Since doing so the GSM reception has been very patchy, with the signal indicator fluctuating wildly & dropping out completely.

At the moment i've resorted to having to call my voicemail to force through text messages & missed call alerts, but trying to make a call takes numerous attempts.

When I can successful get a signal & make a call the reception is fine, but as soon as the call is terminated the signal issue starts again.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can remedy this? where is the GSM antenna located in the desire?

I was under the impression the antenna was in the smaller plastic cover at the base of the phone - i've tried carefully lifting the spring contacts that connect this cover to the main-board, but this hasn't had any effect, except possibly improving the 3G reception.

Thanks,

Mark

Well, in my opinion you have 3 options:

1) Re-open and have another tinker about until you get the desired result (seriously - no pun intended)
2) Send your phone to a phone repair shop and hope for the best.
3) Change the LCD back and see if there is any difference.

Not really the best answers - but I feel like it needs some specialist attenion..
