Is it normal for it not to boot with a broken digitizer? This is my sisters phone. She broke her screen and instead of buying the whole frame assembly, she just bought the glass. She managed to break the digitizer when trying to separate it from the glass.She the reassembled the phone and brought it to me asking to have it fixed. Is it possible? Or is it completely busted? I know when I leave it on the charger and try to turn it on, a red notification light flashes( no matter how long it has been on the charger)
Chances are something else got broken when trying to install the glass. If it won't boot, or go into recovery or bootloader, not much you can do at this point.

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...
Hello, posting here to report that I attempted to repair my HTC sensation, though I didn't really break anything and taking it apart when kinda smoothly I ended up putting the phone back together somewhat was more difficult than I thought it would be. Question here is that the phone turns on but the LCD isn't working still. I had to replace both LCD and digitizer...it vibrates to turn on but nothing could it be that I may have not secured a cable tight enough?
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 guys, in serious need of assistance here.
I got a screen/fascia from ebay for my XT926, its like the whole assembly.
After replacement, the screen doesn't turn on, the phone physically works.
I plugged the phone into my TV using the hdmi cable and its on and running and the digitizer responds, i can use the phone. but the screen does not come on.
I've reinstalled the oem screen, and nothing, the reason for replacement was the glass is trashed but it worked.
****full disclosure=My roommate did the actual swap, while i was at work. I was gonna do it but he decided to try it himself. He had trouble with the little black tab that holds the ribbon cable in popped out, and he couldn't get it back in. I got it in when i got home, and locked down. he said he tried turning it on with out that tab in, and had the same result as i did, the led flashed, and it sounded like it turned on, he said. EITHERWAY, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. - ALEX:good:
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 ...
