Screen replacement help - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
so i recently broke the screen of my OPO
I bought a screen replacement with frame on ebay.
I tried to replace it myself, one thing i did bad was brake the antenna but i bought a new one
So the screen that i bought worked fine it booted up and touch was working etc. However, when my new antenna came i opened it back up and to put the antenna in.
and now when i boot up the phone the display doesnt work, the lights are powered on at the bottom but the display is black.
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting things and at one point the screen came back but went away again.
So i tried reconnecting each thing one by one and testing the screen as i go a long and the screen was working at a few points but even half assembled the screen doesn't display anything but it is powered on,

Screen backlight wont turn on

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

[Q] Is my HTC TD2 is broken?

I just dropped my phone yesterday once and it was ok, put the battery and the lid back on, boots up everythings fine,but in the next 8 hours, I can see black dots on my screen and they are like mostly on the right side of the screen scattered all around.
Also Ive googled the problem and many people say its the digitizer, do I have to buy new digitizer now?

I belive the problem is the Lcd not the digitizer,after all the digitizer is flexible plastic with with very thin wires.
The best way is to get the complete package ,lcd and digitizer, normally you can find them in ebay.

Something weird happened, I turned off the phone, took out the battery, went to sleep for 9 hours. In the morning ive put the battery back on and turned phone on and ALOT of dots have disappeared. What could have caused that?

It sounds like the liquid matrix got displaced when you dropped the device, and now it stabilized itself.
Gravity is an amazing thing
Very good news

Screen Problem

Hi,
My phone has a problem, i hope someone can help me, it started about a month ago,
When i slide the keyboard the screen would freeze, the image would freeze or sometimes it would become like this:
http://www.esato.com/board/img.php?id=140762 ( this is not my phone its just a pic i found)
This problem would be solved it i gently slide the keyboard back in, the screen would be back to normal, sometimes i had to slide it out and it
alot of time to make it work.
Well, today i woke up, with the screen of my phone all messed up ( like in the picture), i slide it out and in alot of times but no luck.
I turned my phone off, when i turned it on, the screen doesnt lighted up or showed something, the phone just vibrates, i took off the battery and tried again but no luck.
I read somewhere that i could be the flex cable, so i ordered one, but its gonna take some time to arrive.
Anyone had this problem before that can help me?
I didn't encounter such problems on MT4GS yet. But being a slider phone enthusiast I could 100% say it's a flex cable thing since I encountered that problem more than a dozen times already on other phones(nokia).

I would strongly recommend that you get a cable with the speaker already soldered in place....
+1 to that, get as much pre assembled as possible, this is about the most pain in the butt phone I've ever had the pleasure to disassemble. Read the last few posts here!

Yup. That one has the speaker, it's the black bar at the top with the silver sticker.

thanks for this bit of advice.
Disassembling the front of the phone is a pain. I'm a fan of spending $40 on ebay on a broken phone (where the screen still works just fine) and swapping out the fronts. That will get you a new flex cable as well. Otherwise, you risk having to get a new flex cable *and* a new LCD.
Agreed. First time disassembling front I was scared not to OVERheat phone internals. I ripped in half trackpad ribbon, damaged lcd back cover and got a lot of problems from it.
Then I bought broken phone with good front, but dead LCD. Second time I just lost it, I heated phone so hard that I got burns on my fingers, but it was worth it, LCD glue came off soo nice.
So better to overheat, then underheat when disassembling front LCD.

HTC One S z560e screen broken

Hi guys I'm new here.
So here's the problem. My One S z560e dropped of my pocket on the floor. Landed on screen. Screen is broken and on the surface of the screen i can't feel cracked screen just see under there are cracks in left corner of screen. I cant turn on phone, when plugged in orange led is on like is charging. When charging it gets very hot not as usual charging when phone was working. Everything is stock. I have z560e version. I am sure that screen and digitizer are broken but why i cant turn it on? Motherboard maybe?
Thanks for reply's :laugh:
the best thing to do is to take it to hTC
I think u should sell your htc one s ebay as broken and the buy a new one
sent to htc...screen and motherboard were dead...lost some of data backup succesfully worked for me
thanks guys

replace entire screen

Im trying to replace the lcd (the whole front panel) on a surface pro 1, and have run into an issue. Its for a friend of mine and it was presented to me with the old front panel removed and the new one kinda slapped in there, Im wondering if anyone has a link to a repair guide for it. Ice done many screens before and it kinda seems like its dead. I have all of the ribbon cables connected and none of them look pinched or damaged. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Is the glass screen cracked?

well, the original one was, but the replacement isnt. The person who started the project took the old screen off and replaced it with an entirely new one but couldnt get it to come on, so he gave it to me to work on. Ive connected all the ribbon cables and tried rebooting it, but it wont come on. Is there a way of force rebooting it like there is in android? Ive tried holding the power button down for over 30 seconds and it didnt do anything.

I'm not sure honestly.
I also have a Surface Pro 1 with a cracked screen and would like to replace it.
The cheapest way is to only replace the glass with digitizer http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Glass-Replacement-Parts-1pc/32368476632.html
I know replacing the whole LCD combo is easier, but is this still doable? For example with this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100m...ine-to-Splite-Glass-Lens-for/32245814109.html or these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5ml-...for-Cellphone-Glass-Lens-LCD/32479129528.html tools
Or should I use just use the complete set: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free..._78_77_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9
And is this the right set to buy when you want to fix a cracked screen on a SP1 128GB
