I replaced my screen and now I can't get the ribbon on the board to lock in place. I push down and it wont go all the way back. I do not want to break it, but it seems as ir its not meant to go that way. I have watched several videos and it is supposed to go back it just won't. I did not disconnect the ribbon a friend did. I know that is part of my confusion had I done it myself I would not have to research how to connect and disconnect.
I need help please my device turns on but wont respond to touch.
Thank You:crying:

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.
I'm not sure if it's lag or what, but my phone screen won't come on. I think it's a ribbon that was disconnected or something though. For about a few hours if I were to press power to see the lock screen, all I saw where a bunch of rainbow static. Then I powered my phone on and off because nothing would work and now it's jut black! Does anyone know what's wrong? I can't boot into clockwork so I don't think it's a rom problem. Does anyone know the problem or have any idea to fix? Anyone I should ask specifically?
maybe water? even having my phone in the bathroom while i take a shower cause me that
It's not water, I never bring my phone close to place with water :/
can you boot into the screen where there are 3 droids with the skateboards? (i not sure whats the name)
I think I can boot and my phone still works, because it still rings when someone calls and it still vibrates when someone text it, but I just can't pick up or reply (because the screen won't come on). I should be able to boot into that thing, but I can't anything :/
well bro sorry i cant help you :/ maybe it could be the screen,the ribons or somethings loose. did it fell?

Seems like either broken ribbon that connects the screen to the "motherboard', or dead screen itself. That's exactly how 1 of my phones died (it was too complicated to disassemble and fix it myself)
But once I had similar problem with my TP2, the screen first become unresponsive to any touch, and then it went just black after restart (and every next restart). However all keys did work.
Hard reset somewhat helped, the screen actually came back, but it was still stuck on setting up Windows Mobile (if you know WinMo: the part where you calibrate touchscreen), apparently "touch" part of the screen didn't work.
I thought it is ribbon or screen assembly, but since all the keys worked I flashed another ROM and what do you know: all problems went away. It worked fine for as long as I had it. I never figured out what caused it/was the problem.

Yea I think that's the problem here. I think I'm just going to borrow a friends mt4gs to use and navigate recovery and do a back up and just buy a new one and restore. Thanks for all the help guys
Hello,
So last week I woke up and my power button stopped working. I looked around for similar issues and found quite a few stores selling a power flex cable (I attached a picture of it because I am a new member and cannot post the URL for the site, but it's easily found using google)
Since it was only six dollars, I ordered it without much thought. Just looking at the cable, it looks like it would fit into a connector rather than needing soldered onto a board, so I figured it would be pretty simple.I finally received it, and after looking around at a bunch of teardowns and the service manual, I do not see this cable or connection anywhere I was going to just open it up and check it out, but didn't want to risk not being able to turn the phone back on.
I am looking for advice! Specifically, if there is a way to power the phone back up without having to use the actual power button, I'd love to know.
FWIW, my phone is not rooted and factory stock
Thank you!
Bumping because I would really like to get this fixed! Not sure if this may go over better (or would be appropriate) on the i9300 forum.
Any help would be awesome!
Back up your phone in the way you see fit. Try and fix button. If you fix it yer done. If not buy a jig. The jig will get you into odin mode. Plug phone into computer. In odin make sure that auto reboot is checked. Flash something like a recovery. Once it finishes flashing it will auto reboot. Enjoy.
Use the home button to wake and a gesture gesture app to put a custom action to turn the screen off. Or put a screen off action on your home screen. Wherever you want

That part has to be mislabeled. I just took my phone apart and there is no way that part will fit. Observe:

Ugh, that is what I thought and was afraid of. I have no idea why in the world they are even available, lol.
I'll buy a jig just in case the phone somehow turns off and I am SOL.
Anyways, I appreciate everyone's input! TY
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?
I replaced the screen on my Moto after it broke. Completely successful closed the back but i didn't put the screws i wanted to test it first, but after testing i found out the bottom (back, home and recent apps buttons) doesn't respond to touch, and im sure i never damaged the screen i was so careful and more secure.. so i thought maybe it was just a cable connectors maybe or sumn similar, so i fully reopened again and start to connect all the cables more careful one by one. After i was done before i put the screws again i had to test it, and this is what drives me crazy.. this time the touch was not responding from the bottom to like few more inches up, close to half of the screen i can say,like i made it worse this time, i didn't bother opening again so im here asking for what could be wrong? the screen is super clean never dropped never scratched it was just new one i bought it for like $61,Any ideas as to why that might be wrong here? i want to back up via twrp and root but i cant do it since the bottom wont respond to touch and neither twrp has no rotation feature.
help anyone?
finally fixed the problem never mind anyone having same problem i will be glad to help
