Milestone repair.. - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hey guys.. I was changing my milestone screen digitizer. However, I accidently ripped off a black colored ribbon( I think it's a very thin cable) that was attached from the lcd screen to the battery power.. Anyone here able to repair or change the cable for me..? Thanks

It is the flex cable. You can find some on ebay. They don't cost very much.

I've bought the flex cable and put it on.. the whole lcd turns up but becomes black screen.. the button only home button is lit up... is my lcd faulty?

Check again the connections! It will work eventually if the cable is okay.

What is the problem with my display?

A couple of weeks ago my screen broke while I sat down with tight jeans on a chair, while having the phone in my pocket.
I ordered a OEM screen replacement and today i thought i managed to replace it.
The problem is that the screen does not work, I can hear the phone turning on but the screen just flashing the same yellow/green/white color whatever i do.
Here is a link to a video of the screen. youtube.com/ watch?v=RR_6fwPgJLc
Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong? I was very careful during the whole replacement procedure so i do not think i broke the screen by my self while i was replacing it.
Thanks in advance!
In my opinion its either a faulty screen or the flex cable was damaged.

Thanks for your response.

Which flex cable do you mean?
The flex cable that connects the screen to the phone.

[Q] Screen Replacement, Unresponsive Screen

I just replaced my cracked screen on my phone. Bought it from Ebay. When I put it back together I notice that in the middle of the screen it is unresponsive. When I try and type on it I cant get the middle of the keyboard to work. When I put the phone back to stock thinking it would calibrate the screen, it is the same result, when I try and choose a language it doesn't let me choose the English language. I thought maybe I forgot to plug a certain cable in but it is still doing this after I took apart and put back together the phone three times. The main areas that aren't working is the bottom part of the screen where the keyboard pops up and the top of the screen about a half inch down in the middle. My question is did I get a faulty screen replacement? Or is there a way of calibrating the screen itself?
Bad digitizer did you get a replacement for that too?

Yes, it came with the screen.
I'm guessing a digitizer issue only idea I have

Questions solved. You are probably right. The seller got back to me and he said he sent me the wrong part. He was supposed to send me the glass with the digitizer, brand new, and he sent me a used screen with digitizer and the frame around it. He said he will send the new screen ASAP. Thanks for your responses. Hopefully I wont have trouble with the new part.
No problem

[Q] Is my i9000 dead?

One sad day last week, a friend dropped his Galaxy and cracked the screen . When plugged in or powered on, the soft touch-keys at the bottom do light up and I can press them (they go dark as I press them, then light back up as they normally would).
I'm OK with paying $80 for a replacement screen/digitizer on ebay, as long as I know that will fix my phone. I'm worried that something else may be wrong internally?
Is there any way to check the functionality of the phone (perhaps through ADB?) or something I can do without having the screen turn on to prove that this phone will still work once I buy a new screen?
Thanks !
Very unlikely after a drop that's cracked the screen that there is more damage than just the screen.
It'll be alright... <---- famous last words lol
As long as it was just a gravity drop from a few feet.

You can only watch to see if something's broken. Replace the screen, and if there's another problem, you will notice. But i don't think there are other hardware problems, either.

Luckily, I found one on Kijiji with a broken charger port for $40. Only took a few minutes to strip it for the screen and fire up the old phone, no problem

[Q] HTC One S Black Screen?

Hey there.
I bought a broken HTC ONE S from someone on ebay.
The bottom lights light up but the screen remains black. It seems like it boots up properly as I pressed the home button and one of the volume buttons and heard a picture sound.
I saw online that it's recommended being booted into recovery mode using volume and power button but nothing.
Just though I'd ask before I buy a new screen assembly.
There is a crack that goes across the screen. I thought it might be broken but my experiences with broken LCD's are that when they break they sitll light up white...?
Only thing I can think of is water damage maybe shorted out the LCD. I'm unfamiliar with the One S so Idk where the water sensor strip would be..

So would it be worth grabbing a new screen assembly? or is the actual motherboard damaged. Thanks

Thats the chance you take ...did the ebay seller tell you the screen was broken ? if not, return it to them and cut your losses now

[Q] Phone screen no longer lights up

I just replaced the front glass piece on my s3 mini and the LCD screen no longer lights up nor do the the soft buttons... I've even got it on charge and the only feedback back I'm getting off it is when I plug in the charger or unplug it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

I ended up replacing the LCD, it appears it got damaged somehow.
Thanks for your reply though
But... the S3 Mini has an AMOLED display!
