Screen is blank but touch screen works ***HELP***

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

Screen won't turn on at all after swaping mainboard - Any advice?

Hi all,
I had broken my phone's back cover and bent the middle frame too. So I bought a live demo version of S6 to use it as a donor. I swapped the mainboards over and only can here the noise it turns on and buttons light up, notification light come up but the screen stays black. So I swapped the mainboards back and with the demo mainboard the screen comes on as it should. Even I tried a third mainboard from a working phone the screen remains blank with that too.
Not even the charging logo would come on with different mainboard!
So I don't know what I could do with it!!!!
Any advice?
Thank you!

Nexus 5 - trying to repair it. Screen? Other issue?

Hi
I am trying to fix my Nexus 5. Couple months ago I dropped a mug on the phone. The result: cracked screen. I ordered a new screen with the whole front housing so only thing I had to do was remove cracked screen with frame and replace it with new one. When I did it I turn on the phone but I saw only a short blink of the screen. After lots of attempts of I came to conclusion that I probably damaged the new screen or it was already damaged. So the screen is black. When I plug the phone to PC everything works perfectly. I can browse the memory etc.
I would like to ask you whether my conclusion is correct and the only issue is the screen which has been damaged by me or the seller.
One more thing is that when I charge the phone or it is attached to the PC beside the black screen I can not also see any light from notification led.

If the old screen can still display an image, move the parts back to the old screen to check for issues.

HI. Thx for reply. I don't remember whether cracked screen was functional in terms of displaying image. I will try to attache the old screen and will let you know.

Grey Static/Snow on LCD

Hi,
I have a clients phone, They dropped it into water. Phone LCD worked fine, touch screen did not function correctly, and the bottom soft buttons were activating. making the phone unusable.
I orded a new screen, and decided to test it, before installing it. After removing the mid frame, I plugged in the LCD to find a strange grey snow pattern. I disconnected the battery, reseated and checked the LCD cable. I got the same pattern,
I was positive the new LCD is faulty, but not 100% sure now.
I reconnected the old screen and have a similar but not identical pattern. I can understand breaking the old LCD while taking it apart, or getting a faulty new LCD, just unlikely for both to happen.
Are there any other connections I should check. What do you guys think?

Nexus 5 Display not working. Don't know what to replace.

So, I was trying to replace my Nexus 5s camera and I disassembled the main motherboard. Replaced my camera and everything but after I reassembled the phone, I found out that there's no display. The LEDs work fine, because I see them light up and I see that the screen is black but it's a bright black and the screen is on. So after tampering with it, I found that the little USB charger port wire board wire thst connects just above the battery (idk how to describe it, its the orange strip that locks the battery in place) had a direct correlation with the display. If I unplugged it, the screen would go dark and off. If I replugged it, it would be on again. After doing this a few times, I actually got my phone's display to show for a little while before it went away to black again. So will buying a new orange strip part work or would I have to go to the bottom where the little screen digitizer is? I'm sorry if the problem is unclear because I really don't know how to say it or explain any better. Please help.

Replacing that strip is actually not easy.
With the device open, try to apply a little bit of force on the plug of the orange strip, there are mentions of the contacts stop working after upluging/pluging back.
You probably could buy a front frame (glass, touch, lcd and chassis) from ali cheap.
