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:

I've got a transformer, and the screen doesn't appear to be working. My boyfriend bought it the first day it came out, dropped it, was able to play with it a bit. The battery died and he set it to charge, and after that the screen wouldn't work. The screen itself is fine, it just isn't displaying anything (He can't take it back for a warranty repair, because he threw out the receipt, that's why he threw it to me to look at).
When you plug it into a computer, the computer recognizes it and you can browse the files on it. When you use the hdmi cable to plug it into the tv you can see the screen of the tablet on the tv and you can use it, so it's not anything wrong with inside workings of the tablet itself. I took it apart and everything looked alright on the inside to me, nothing rattling around, and all the connections appeared to be connected tightly. I was able to see the slide to unlock symbol on the screen by shining a flash light directly on it while the unit was on, but it was really faint and hard to see.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? In a normal laptop I would say it's the inverter, but I'm not really sure if tablets use technology like that. I'm a bit at a loss here for what the problem could be and how to fix it.
Pretty close i would say its the digitizer though you will need to rma it to get it fixed
Screens break in many different ways, just because there is no crack or leaking LCD look to it doesn't mean its fine
I would place my bets on the screen being damaged, although the board could have cracked or a solder joint could have come lose or a tiny tear in the ribbon cable
Screen is the most fragile though
I had the same problem, and after opening the TF everything looked fine too. It was not. What I did was to unplug all the cables and plug them all again. Problem solved.
Probably the screen cable got a little loose after the drop.
Good luck.
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?
I have searched for similar issues, nothing posted. My phone went swimming with me the other day, DOH!
I have thoroughly dried the unit in rice/dehydration powder (works REALLY well by the way). Unit is completely dry, boots up, recognizes sdcard, radios work etc.
Unfortunately the touch screen doesn't work. I have read that the unit may simply need to be recalibrated. I have carefully disassembled the unit cleaned and checked all leads etc. The unit again reboots, everything works but touch screen.
I am thinking about odin new image to see if it recalibrates screen solves problem, any thoughts advice etc?
Might have to replace the lcd

A friend if mine experienced the same problem. And now none of the speakers work nor does Bluetooth. Phone is also going in to safe mode quite often. Is it fixable? I've repaired plenty of iPhones, and did remove the back to try to disconnect and reconnect the flex cables to see if that would work but to no avail.

Did you trip the water sensor? I had a similar issue, did not trip the sensor though. I tried some of the recal methods, not sure off the top of my head but i think you have to hold your finger for a certain amount of time in one of the corner, I am sure someone will know how to do it.
However what I ended up needing to do since the re-cal didnt work. I bought a usb otg adapter to connect a mouse to my phone, followed the steps to return it to stock, odin, unroot, triangle away etc, and sent it back to verizon for a replacement with no problems at all.
Same issue:
Phone was soaking in my gym bag because one of my water bottles leaked. It was in there for a good 10 minutes. I took it out. Dried it and put it in rice asap. 24 hours later I take it out and it boots fine, can connect to my computer move files everything. However, the touch screen will not work. Any tips for self repair? Will leaving it in rice longer fix my issue?
Hello,
I have searched the threads but cannot find a situation similar to mine so am posting, but apologise in advance if this has been solved before. It's a bit of a long story. About a year ago I was foolish enough to have stood on my TF300T, cracking the screen. The tablet was still working, but it would not register touch. I put it to one side and left the battery to drain. For various reasons I have just got around to replacing the screen.
I found a screen and digitiser of the correct version for my UK TF300T (version G01) and I'd thought the replacement went without any problems, although I was slightly unsure of one digitiser connection. On pressing the power button (I had pre-charged the battery) the screen came to life just as I'd left it as if coming out of sleep rather than being off for a year. It was short lived though and soon the tablet went to black and would not turn on. I thought maybe it was the digitiser connection so went back in to re-fit it. It was only then that I noticed the power switch on the logic board itself under the plastic shell. I hadn't switched it to off before (duh) so did so then, refitted the digitiser cable much more securely,switched the power back on and tried to boot, but nothing happened at all, apart from the power LED flashing orange. After some experimenting (trying to charge the tablet again etc) I found I could only boot by charging the dock and plugging the tab in the dock, but the tablet would only get as far the ASUS screen (not the 3D one, just the flat lettering), with the 'device is unlocked' message in the top left corner and stops there. I can turn it off, but can't boot into recovery at all. And that's where I am now.
Things I have tried - a different logic board from a TF300T's scrounged from eBay which also had a cracked screen (this, weirdly, seemed to have the same problem as mine), swapping various parts out from some other TF300T's (without logic boards) from eBay and contacting the device through Sandix's ADB GUI (after downloading and extracting the SDK), which registered no device.
My best guess at what's happened is that the battery on the tab itself is totally gone (as are the three other batteries I have accumulated) after a last valiant effort and either that going or me messing with the on off switch has some how corrupted the boot process. Is that possible? What do people think? I could buy a brand new logic board, but the only ones I seem to be able to find have some different brand chips on them and appear to be different versions - versions probably not compatible with my digitiser. :S
I am quite a novice here (and maybe poking around the inside of my tab wasn't a great idea, but then neither is wearing boots in the house) so any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give a detailed report. Let me know if you have any questions. Although unlocked, it is running the stock ROM.
I would make sure drivers are reinstalled properly, by removing the drivers, reboot the computer, reinstall the drivers and then reboot again.
See if that works.
I had something similar happen on a different tablet. That was one from Box.co.uk, but after trying to get it fixed under warranty (and missing the end date by 1 day), I opened it myself. When the charger was plugged in, it showed the charging LED, but it didn't actually charge it.
I don't suppose you've checked the terminals for the battery to the mainboard? On this other tablet, one had broken off. I re-soldered it on, charged it fully and it worked fine.
Hello guys,
I got a problem on my Google Pixel out of nowhere. I turned it off a few days ago and when trying to turn it on again a few hours later it did not work.
Nothing happened whether it was plugged it or not so I thought the battery was faulty.
I ordered a new one and changed the battery. Now the phone turns on but the screen remains black (I can tell it's turning on because it vibrates).
The screen is black but is still responsive, I can still (with difficulty since I don't see anything) enter my pin code and then answer calls, receive messages and so on.
It is also worth mentionning that it seems to work the same with the old battery which I thought was faulty (I am 100% sure it wasn't vibrating before I changed it the fist time because I tried for two days before ordering the new battery).
Do you think replacing the screen would be enough or could it be another issue ?
Thanks for your help.

Have you dropped the phone? not like the ribbon cable connecting the screen to the motherboard could be loose and needs to be reattached again? just a guess though..

Hello Arju,
No I didn't drop it.
Since I had to take off the screen to change the battery I had to unplug the ribbon cable. When putting everything back together I tried many times to unplug/replug it without success so far. (I did not glue it back yet to the case so far so I still have access).
Moreover, since the touch screen is working I am guessing it has to be attached correctly.
Thanks for your idea anyways.
