I recently got a touch pro of a friend with a damaged screen that didn't turn on but the touch screen was responsive. Apparently he sat on it and the screen broke.
I then acquired it and replaced the LCD screen and i turned it on but all it shows is a blank black screen with the backlight on. I was tapping while it booted up and it was making that beep noise so i know the touch screen works. What do i do now.

if the lcd is damaged and you only replaced the digitizer then that wont solve the problem, the digitizer just sits ontop of the lcd and recognizes your touches, hence why it mite know that your touching the screen but the screen is still blank

I replaced the LCD along with the digitalizer. Tats what i meant.
Sounds like either the new screen is inop on fit (fraid you need another to test, then send the first back as faulty), or the fault is not the LCD itself.
Possibily its the wrong screen, or its not installed correctly, or you damaged either the screen or the controller when installing.
I'm afraid you dont have many options - take it apart & rebuild to ensure correct parts & fitment, spend £££ on alternative parts to see whats broken (or serious £££ on test equipment!), send it off for repair or give up!
I'd go for option 1 first
If your friend sat on it hard enough to break the screen, i'd be looking for any damage / cracking to the boards / ribon cable mounts and be looking very carefully at the mountings of any IC chips. Incedently, when (s)he sat on it, did the screen work at all? and was it 100% working before they did?
Okay thanks for the replies. I just bought a flex cable where the slider thing is because the old one looked a bit old and flexed out and on inspection of the old screen i found a tiny rip on the screen's flex cable too. I wait for my cable and see if it works and if it doesn't then i'll sent the screen back as faulty and get a new one and if that doesn't work then I'll give up and sell it again
hi
sorry to wake up an old thread.
so what's your solution/conclusion?
is it the flex, or the LCD that broke?
i have the same problem right now.
thanks
was mainboard
I dropped my TF700 with the dock and it fell on its back(tablet). It closed shut and when i tried to restart it i do not see any display
later the display comes up but in jagged lines half black and half display, the touch doesn't seem to respond , i can see that it boots
and i can access it on my computer all the files and entire system but i cannot do anything with touchscreen and lcd. after repeated touching
it has the touch sound that comes not very often.
I opened the screen and i see no physical damage to the screen. Is there an inverter board of LCD that might have gone bad due to that
or has any one faced this problem , so that even if i have to order a replacment part i know which one to order first i thought of
ordering the LCD + Touchpanel but it looks like i am doubting that the LCD has gone bad.
Can anyone please help if they have faced this issue ??
Hello. I got this Z3 with a broken screen, when I got it it had only black backlight, no image, but the LCD cable on the bottom was cut, so I thought that was why it had no image.
So I replaced the screen with a new one, but the issue remains, no image, only black backlight.
Tried restoring the software with Sony PC companion, updated to latest version, but it didn't help.
The phone boots fine, touch works, I can select options and sometimes I even get audio readouts of what is on the screen, just no image.
Is this a dead motherboard or something else? Because I went through a couple of new screens, none worked, so I'm out of the ideas.
I haven't encountered a case like this before, the screen either works or doesn't, the fact that the touch works and I have backlight puzzles me. No backlight or no touch issues are a common case to me, but this is a new one.
Can someone help here?
Thnx
Same problem....

It's a faulty LCD connector on the motherboard, in my case. Not the connector itself but the small jumper just above it, it gives power to the LCD, it was broken off.
I had it resoldered. Works fine now.
Could ju point me a bit closer whitch one it was?Did you get no image at all or something like the one on my picture?https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bym65RPW_fIpeXlkX2NTYUw5SVk This is how mine looks like around the lcd connector.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bym65RPW_fIpTXZpWTFKby1Ua3c

No image at all, only black backlight ant the touch was responding.
The three square fuses on the bootom of the picture, it's similar in Z3, in my phone one of those was broken off.
Hi guys. I have almost the same problem but inverted. My display and touch is working but i dont have backlight. I can see the screen only if i put light on it.
Maybe u guys have a faulty digitizer responsible for image faulty(no image), better for send repair, flashing new stock firmware will not help
I tried with new digitizer, no luck. Tried jumping the fuse with no luck. Don't know what to try anymore.

Put the motherboard in the oven and bake it for a few minutes, it resold everything, if that's the problem, it will fix it.
For more infos and temperature / time, google it
Same problem here! i have tried new lcd, new flex cable. nathing works, lcd backlight turn on but no image, touch work cause i feel vibration while touching the lcd.
Pleas Helpppp Anyone with the genius mind??????
I'm facing the same problem with my Z3C, a friend of mine told me he applied this method on his phone and it worked but i'm not sure how to do it.

Hello everyone, I must first thank you all in advance for your time to consider the issue I'm encountering.
Background:
Android 4.4.2
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted
Able to boot into recovery
Issue:
Out of the blue it seemed I started suffering from the black screen issue, so I power cycled the phone and still had no display.
I took the phone apart to see if it was a small issue of the LCD ribbon cable getting knocked and managed to get to this stage.(See video link below, please excuse the coughing the household has got man flu )
Video Link
So I managed to get it to boot up and the screen is very glitchy, the digitizer is fine as shown in the video.
The Punchline
If I've already determined the LCD issue is at fault then why am I asking your kind folk for help you may ask?
I'm asking because I want to be sure it is merely just a LCD fault and not something deeper. I don't want to order a replacement screen only for the issue to persist.
Update:
Navigates settings fine, tried disabling h/w overlay to force GPU rendering but that made no difference. What also happens if I were to swipe left and right again on the app drawer the screen would eventually just fade/burn out to black and not turn on again unless I rebooted.
This leads me to suspect this maybe deeper than a LCD issue and more a hardware issue in regards to the CPU/GPU.
Thank you all for your time.
Kind Regards,
Ryan
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 ...
