Can anyone help me?

Hi i have had an x1 since august but within a month its been dropped and then it was unable to show the screen, i opened my device to try and fix my problem but messed with nothing whatsoever, when i put everything back together it wouldnt even turn on anymore! all it did was charge and when it was fully charged there was a red light. can anyone help me? please im desperate to fix my phone. My first paycheck was spent on this and i loved it despite the numerous flaws! also i havent charged it in over 2 - 3 months. Also when i opened it the tape that connect the rear and the front is kind of messed up, would that effect anything?

The tape that connects the front and the rear is the cable for the screen, so if it's messed up, you might need to get a replacement.

here is a pic, the red part where its circled is where i think the problem is, it looks ripped off, i did have a hard time opening and putting it back together the first time also.

Sounds like (Or rather, looks like) you're screwed, as far as I can tell, if it's really ripped. Otherwise attempt to clean the contact points with some cleaning alcohol and Q-Tips - something might have made it's way in when you disassembled the unit and blocked the electrical signals.

ill try it, but if that doesnt work, would i be able to replace the flex ribbon? would acteone work?

got this checked out by my friend, he told me its the flex ribbon cable, thanks for the help btw. Does anyone know the cheapest place to get a flex ribbon cable from?

Still would like confirmation if its my flex ribbon cable before i spend 40 bucks on a new one. thanks!

Hi, I am new to this forum. Sorry for posting here but I think I have similar or same problem with my xperia. Few days ago I drooped my xperia and then I could not turn it ON. I opened unit, the flex cable was detached.
After attaching the flex cable. I could turn the unit and it booted normal but no response on touching screen I even tried to align it but it did not respond. I turned off the unit. After trying turning it back ON only back light of the screen turned on (no sony logo, no xperia logo no winmo).
I tried to turn it on few times but same result. Even tried to soft reset and hard reset it but no difference only back light. Is it because of flex cable or because some thing else? I can`t even go in to 3 color screen. Please help. Sorry for my bad eng. Thanks.

Xperia x1 screen failure

last night my x1s screen was going all fuzzy like different colours and cut out a few times. now today notthing. the screen is blank. backlight comes on i think. the phone starts up normal as i can hear the start up sound and i can accept calls. i think this is failure of the felx cable. Is this true? and if so is i worth get on and fiting it myself or going to a repair shop. im on the cheap here so any fix will do.

I have had the second part of your problem before where screen doesn't come on but the back light and everything else works. A couple of months back when I was at college I dropped my phone really hard at a party( I was wasted ) and the next morning the screen wouldn't come on. So what I did was I looked up the guide to how take the X1i apart and luckily one of my buddies had the same screwdrivers that I needed because he uses it on his the Blackberry Storm 2. So what I did was went to where the Flex ribbon cable was located unattached it, then reattached it, and put my phone back together and the screen came back on and still works to this day. If this helps press thanks.

[Q] Need help after replacing my amoled screen

So my Screen broke and I bought a new one so I could replace it, the touch screen/digitizer didn't break though... at first the colors just started washing and fading untill the screen ended up completely dark, I could still use the touch screen and feel when I would unlock it, after a day the phone would not give me any feed back by vibrating or turning the orange light while charging, so I dismantled it using some tips from these videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRXSMQ-GJY&feature=related
After I put everything back together the phone is giving me feedback again and I can notice its charging because of the orange light, but the screen won't turn on. Does any one know if I might need to do something on the software side? like needing to re install anything? or do you think I just got a bad screen?
Update: I just took it apart again and reconnected the ribbons, its back together and the screen still won't turn on.

You have the AMOLED screen and not the LCD?
Did you compare the #'s on the old and new to see you got the right part?
Cables are the same, they look the same, part # and stickers are different...

What are the part numbers on your new and old screen? I just went through the same thing, but I'm fairly sure I got the wrong screen replacement. Will have to look more into it later tonight.
My screen wont turn on at all. I was so excited to get my N1 back in action as well.

[Q] [HELP] Black Screen but Functional Device. Galaxy Note N7000

Hello Everyone!
So i'm really stuck over here. I have an international Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 that is working but with a black screen!
First of all i want to discuss exactly what i have done:
1.i had a problem with the charging port where it works sometimes and most of the times doesn't. So i decided to order a new charging port to replace the existing one.
2. When i received the new charging port i instantly started to dissemble the device (The device was working perfectly before starting replacement)
3. After i removed the old one and installed the new, i turned on the device and it showed only a black screen, then after some time i saw the touch buttons light, but still the screen is black:crying:
4. so i decided to return back the old charging port and this time when i turned on the device it sounded like it's booting and working but still with a black screen. The phone even received call and the touch screen is working but with black screen.
What do you guys think has just happened to my phone? could the new charging port cause any problems with the motherboard?
i'm really stuck and don't wanna go to a service center
I have recorded a video of the problem. Please see it below
since i'm new over here, i'm not allowed to post youtube link.
please head to youtube and type my username and watch the video : nadeaa0a
thank you very much

My younger brother always liked to disassemble things with a hammer wondering after why it wasn't possible to assemble it the other way around.
It took him a few years to understand that real knowledge of things is a clear advantage.
Go to a service center and get help from a professional instead of making it ...

maybe you disconnected the wire you were changing ports ! don't worry and don't freak out just take to any shop and they will check it i don't think the screen is burnt because if it was it would be more expensive ! go to any shop and ask them to change ports and check the screen

for what you described, my best guess would be either you unplugged the lcd and didnt plug it back in properly.... or you damaged the flex for the lcd... the charging flex wouldnt cause the problem... just inspect the lcd flex and plug for damage... if no visible damage plug it in again and try it again... lets hope its just not plugged in right...

I have the same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I had never disassembled my phone and the screen slowly turned purple and started blackening out. It was fully functional. This I knew because I connected it to my Windows 7 computer and used Android Commander. I ordered a new screen complete with bezel etc. I have two batteries, the first didn't even charge after I put it in the phone (it had drained totally during the wait for the new screen), the second was partially charged and allowed the screen to boot. It is however behaving like the first screen did before it went black, that is purple. I am sure I have not done anything wrong with the connections. Could it be the batteries? or the adapter flex? I just hope it is not the mainboard. It is not on warranty and we don't have that many honest phone specialists around where I live. I am almost sure others have experienced the same problem and someone on xda knows what the problem is. If you do I would be indebted.

it shows as color black, or nothing (like locked device)? I used to face this problem too with my infuse 4G, but it was because of installing custom rom. Had problem with few rom i installed but nothing happen on my stock one. If your device is just not lighting up(like locked device), then i guess because of ROM, but i'm not sure yet. But if it shows "color black", then i don't know.

THIS IS NOT A SOFTWARE BUG. Its the Screen flex or the ribbon. Disassemble the back part, and take a look at the flex or the ribbon connector of the screen, clean the conector with a tooth cleaner with alcohol and let it dry for a few minutes. Put it back on and mount the back part again. Test it, it should work.

Same thing here: changed the usb port, booted fine, had issues with the sim, turned off took it apart again to check, put it back on and black screen.

Yea having the same issue here, dismantling the usb module and put in new one, power up black screen!! The menu and back button did lights up, and the phone is working too, can hear the booting tone, anyone got any solution for that yet?

You damaged your LCD flex cable or didn't plug it in correctly ..

I have unplugged and replug back few times, same result. Guess most probably i have damaged the flex cable. Replacement part seems too pricy to change, rather buy a new phone.

Replaced screen, still black

Hi
A month ago my screen suddenly went completely dead, the phone it self was functioning normally except the screen, \
so i posted this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-make-screen-dead-t3175115
then i decided to tear down the phone, i did and i played abit with the lcd flex cable, i got the screen to work but with very low brightness and a lot of blinking, i played a bit more with the same cable
and tried powering up the phone, the screen gone completely black again so i thought i broke the cable
i ended up buying this
www.aliexpress.com/item/LCD-touch-s...ria-Z-L36h-C6603-LT36-display/1449119790.html
it arrived and i played a youtube video of the device dis-assembly and copied every step exactly, tried powering the phone up and the new screen is black!
anyone have an idea what's going on?

Maybe something not connected, or because it's aftermarket screen. There are lots of screens for sale but I don't believe they all work as good as the OEM screen.

Did you ask the seller to exchange the item? There is always a 10% chance of a black screen when buying a replacement screen.
If you tested the screen by just connecting it to the motherboard,and it didnt work,you should be able to get a replacement for free(but you will probably have to pay for the shipping when sending the broken one back)
By the way. I need to get a new screen replacement(the current one started flickering and glitching after 5 days of usage-I literally held the phone on the desk,answering calls and putting it back on the desk,so I couldn´t have damaged it),but I cant waste money. Was the package in a good state?
If anyone can recommend a cheap,but working screen(I dont care much about the 10% weaker colors,I just dont want the screen to flicker and glitch out),I would be extremely grateful.
