Hi, I have a droid 2 global, it belongs to my friend. She dropped it and this screwed up her touch functions. The screen was turning on but she was not able to get any feedback when she touched anything on the screen. I told her i'd try and fix it for her, first thing i did was ordered a new digitizer thinking this was the problem, unfortunately it was not. Even with the new digitizer i couldnt slide to unlock or feel any haptic feedback. I reopened the phone and looked for another possibility to the problem, i found a little tear in the flex cable connected to the digitizer, lcd and keyboard, somehow in the process of removing everything i think i may have ripped it. I ordered a new one of those, put it all back to together and this time the screen didnt turn on, however when i touched, it responded by vibrating. So that solved the previous problem. But now i have a new problem, the screen just stays pitch black. I was reading around and some forums said i may have short circuited the lcd through ESD. so i ordered another lcd, i put a new one in thinking this would fix everything, but still the screen stays black. Im resending the lcd back and gonna get a replacement, hopefully the one i got was just faulty. Does anyone know if it could be something else thats causing the black screen?

Hey,
I accidently dropped my phone in water a couple of days ago. The backlight doesnt work. Under a really bright light i can see the lock screen and it still functions. Is it possible to replace just the backlight? or what should i do? I dont believe this would be covered from motorola and I live in canada got the phone shipped from the states.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James
I'm guessing you might need a new screen/display. Perhaps do a search and find a repair place you can ship it and get an estimate? I know HTC offers such repairs dirctly (ship the phone, they call you with an estimate). I'd bet Moto does as well if you're not comfortable with 3rd party repair.

I have the same problem right now except mine was not dropped in water. In a bright light I can see the lockscreen and also could see the emergency dialer tonight but the keyboard was not reacting on certain buttons either. One screen said to unlock enter your gmail account info,I tried to enter my name and the period symbol(.) was not working for me. I'm thinking maybe the LCD screen needs replaced or the ribbon cable,IDK. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: Essentially I finally got logged into the phone and the keys were working fine,the screen was still dim so I turned the brightness all the way up and turned off automatic backlight. I replaced the LCD screen and digitizer and now the phone is not starting for me. I'm about to replace the Flex Ribbon Cable inside the phone and see if this corrects the problem. Right now i cant get the phone to start up so I'm thinking the ribbon cable is disconnected somewhere because it hooks to the motherboard and the LCD or the motherboard is fried. IDK,I'll let everybody know what happens with this project.

What happen to letting everyone know? Were you ever able to get it going? Was it the flex cable? How did you get the LCD working.
Replaced the flex ribbon cable and it still didnt help anything. Guess its just the phone. I trashed the phone a while ago anyways and am currently running a rooted Droid 4

Ok I've been rooted and modding for almost 2 years now, and this is the first real problem I have had. Just know that ANY suggestions and/or info are appreciated. Ok on with the problem
It looks like the LCD is going out after living with a cracked digitizer for a couple months. first the screen just went grey static and fuzzy. I would put pressure on it, and it would come back and be fine. then it started going completely black, and then i would put pressure on the screen/smack it and it would come back. Now the LCD isn't backlit and is completely nonresponsive.
It seems like it would be a hardware issue, but Im not so sure.. It wasnt doing this at first, but now when I [pull battery and] power on, it gives that short buzz like it does when the splash screen should come up (but doesnt of course), I wait for a minute then it gives that short buzz again, and again like it is in bootloop. The only signs of life are a blinking red LED, vibrating motor, and sometimes if Im lucky the backlight on the 4 keys on the bottom.
I have no access to recovery, bootloader, or splashscreen, and not really sure what to do. Is there a chance that this is a software thing (a kid could wish). If your do believe it is the LCD where is the place to get a cheapest replacement LCD and digitizer? Also could it be a hardware issue to the fatal non-replaceable components?
FYI: rom-eyecandy with bricked kernel not overclocked
So you have damaged hardware? Cracked LCD - I think there is no need to search further for the root cause...
The person who had this device, gave it to me, telling me I could have it but that it had display issues. The display would intermittently cut out. He tried showing me how he would get it to come back on was by, flexing the device... He showed me a couple of times and I thought, to myself, I may be able to fix this. Then on one of the times, he must have flexed it too much because it cracked top to bottom. While it was working, I noticed it did display the desktop fully, leading me to believe that the LCD ribbon may have become unplugged. I was unable to find any information on replacing the LCD for the TF300T on YouTube, so where is it?
Also, the previous owner opened the device and lost the power button, so he would use a toothpick to turn it on. Is there a cheaper option than $11 USD on Ebay?
Im trying to replace the lcd (the whole front panel) on a surface pro 1, and have run into an issue. Its for a friend of mine and it was presented to me with the old front panel removed and the new one kinda slapped in there, Im wondering if anyone has a link to a repair guide for it. Ice done many screens before and it kinda seems like its dead. I have all of the ribbon cables connected and none of them look pinched or damaged. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

well, the original one was, but the replacement isnt. The person who started the project took the old screen off and replaced it with an entirely new one but couldnt get it to come on, so he gave it to me to work on. Ive connected all the ribbon cables and tried rebooting it, but it wont come on. Is there a way of force rebooting it like there is in android? Ive tried holding the power button down for over 30 seconds and it didnt do anything.

I'm not sure honestly.
I also have a Surface Pro 1 with a cracked screen and would like to replace it.
The cheapest way is to only replace the glass with digitizer http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Glass-Replacement-Parts-1pc/32368476632.html
I know replacing the whole LCD combo is easier, but is this still doable? For example with this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100m...ine-to-Splite-Glass-Lens-for/32245814109.html or these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5ml-...for-Cellphone-Glass-Lens-LCD/32479129528.html tools
Or should I use just use the complete set: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free..._78_77_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9
And is this the right set to buy when you want to fix a cracked screen on a SP1 128GB
Hello,
First of all i dont know if this is the right forum for my question. If not so please notice me.
After my Z5 dropped on the floor i got an broken Display. I bought a new Display and changed it, but i think i broke the LCD-Flexcable after i pulled carefully on it to get it inside the case. The effect is after phone turn on i get only the backlight but the screen remains black. So for a test i switched my old broken display in it but the effect is the same, only backlight and black screen. After a few seconds the phone led blinks 3 times red and the phone restarts. What the heck is now? Anybody get the same case? I handled the mainboard with care, dont remember to damaged the connector in anyway. Does the Flexcable needs to be protected with a tape so it couldnt be grounded on someway?
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks for any help!
After a second and a third display swap the error is still the same. It seems somehow i damaged the motherboard. I swapped the phone against a new one.
Please help, same problem ...
