Hello,
I recently replaced my digitizer and now i got everything back working but i get no notification leds.
Can it be because of the cheap chinese digitizer i used? or did i disconnect / broke somethine while the phone was open?
Thanks

More than likely you've damaged something while changing the digitizer.
Well i noticed (in the dark) that the LED DOES flash normally but it is blocked by a opaque piece on the digitizer.
There probably is no easy fix for this? i should probably remove the screen again :s and even then it might not be solvable

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
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

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

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 ...
Today after lunch, my Nexus 5 started rebooting continuously, After 4 to 6 hours it started working as normal, but the touch of my phone is not working since it started again. Before the mentioned problem, it was working fine.
Please help me in following issue, Should I replace my LCD & Digitizer or this is any other issue???
The constant rebooting could be a power button issue.
Have you tried a factory reset in fastboot mode?
Try sticking piece of transparent tape on the bottom of flex cable (i sticked it on top of lcd and digitizer board. It works now for me. Before i couldt get touch to work

actually i have no lcd or frame on my phone, as i am waiting for a replacement,because it fell on ground and lcd broke but here's what i did to make it work:
just put some transparent tape over the red area, try to cover everything, except screw stocks , and only then place the flex cable.
this worked perfectly before i broke my phone. in 3 day's i'll get a replacement lcd, so i'll be able to make some photos of how it's supposed to be.
If it won't work be really careful while removing the tape, so you wont wrip the lcd conenctor.
