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.

HD2 Repair

Hey guys,
The USB port of my HD2 broke off and I was forced to replace the motherboard. When I assembled the HD2 again, I could immediately see that there was something wrong with my screen. The screen couldn't display full color (only bright red/orange/white/dark green/cyan accents). Also, the 'hang-up button isn't responding anymore after I replaced the motherboard (and flexcable).
What happened? Is there something wrong with the lcd display or did something go wrong when I (dis)assembled the phone? I took the motherboard and the flexcable from another HD2 that had a broken display.
Thanks in advance.

So you completely voided your warranty through HTC and tried to fix the device yourself, then screwed it up. I'd still say send it to HTC and ask for a repair. I don't know if they'll do it or not, unless you used official parts. I know they do out-of-warranty repairs, but they'll charge you.....

Yep you screwed up the repair, those ribbon cables need a delicate touch & any handfisted moment ends up with what you have got now ...
Another careful strip & inspection of all ribbon connectors is needed ...

I bought it as a second-hand phone. The guy didn't give me a reseat and the HD2 was flashed a WP7 ROM.

For the button problem, how are you turning your phone on without that button? do you hear/feel it click when you press it? If not its just misaligned.the buttons are on a flex ribbon cable with two holes on each side. it fits on the plastic middle frame of the phone which has two small spikes coming out of it... it has to be perfectly placed for your buttons to actually click..
if the flex ribbon is broken however you can buy one off ebay for arround 10$ any will do, mine is not original works fine..
for the screen you could have messed up the lcd, did you separate from the glass-digitizer? if you did you probably screwed it up.. its not a easy thing to do.. also was not necessary for your repairs
the connection to the motherboard might not be all the in and clipped which might cause your problem... (being that two of the little pins provide voltage and ground while all the others provide data information if one of those pins is not in all the way a piece of data might not be displaying for example a color. Never seen that happen its theoretically possible thou)
well I have only opened my phone 3 times and dont claim to be a expert.. but this is my take on it... Good luck!

@pablow Thanks for the detailed response.
The HD2 is only turned on, after I place the battery. Otherwhise it won't start.
I hear a click on the (broken) 'off' button, everytime I press it. I also noticed that the inside of not all of the 'spikes' are empty. I can see a bit of the flexcable in the spike of the broken 'off' button. The spike of the (working) 'call' button is empty.
I think that the flexcable hasn't been connected securely to the motherboard. I'll try connecting everything again tonight.

not that it makes much difference but HTC wouldn't of fixed it through warranty because of usb damage anyway

I thought so, thanks for the heads-up anyways.

[Solved] Display is fixed
Update:
I disassembled the HD2 and reconnected everything (from coax to flexcable). Fortunately it worked! The display is how it should be.
I have another problem now. All of the buttons don't work now, exept for the dial button. Do these buttons break so fast? It's annoying as fuark, because I have to disassemble it another time in the future to fix the buttons.
I also couldn't re-attach the volume control tab when assembling the HD2.

[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.

Replacement screen doesn't work

Hey guys,
I've searched and tried seemingly everything, but can't find a solution to this problem. A few months ago, my cousin dropped her Z3C on the floor; the screen cracked and stopped working. I got and installed a replacement screen, but it doesn't work. When I first turned it on (after charging the phone for several hours), the display was off, but I could touch the screen and I would get haptic feedback.
When I do a soft reset (Vol Up + Power), it vibrates 3 times, but the screen still doesn't display anything. I've pressed the little yellow reset button next to the SD slot, which also causes it to vibrate, but the screen still doesn't work. When I connect it to a PC, it is identified, though no folders are shown in the device. After I used the repair function of the Sony Xperia Companion, I now no longer receive haptic feedback when touching the screen. I also tried using flashtool, but to no avail.
Can anyone point me in a direction with how I should proceed?
Thanks!

It may be a motherboard issue now,try taking the phone apart and reconnecting the screen,but don't close it fully just connect it and see if anything happens,if it still doesn't work it could be a motherboard issue or you got a DOA screen

Make jumper on fuze like I did on 2nd picture and should be fine. Pictures here.

Unfortunately, soldering for me isn't an option.
I've looked into the price of a motherboard for the Z3C and it's pricier than I expected. I might just cut my losses and try to sell it as is.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, guys!

Screen not responding to touches anymore - plz help

TLDR: Screen not responding to touches anymore for no apparent reason. It's displaying everything properly, but it won't react to any touch.
Something weird happened to me today. I own a Mi 9T Pro. I received a second Mi 9T Pro with minor water damage at the bottom part (charging port area).
To make sure it was repairable I replaced the damaged parts with parts from my own Mi 9T Pro just to check if it's working. It was working.
I ordered replacement parts from AliExpress and today I put everything together. I didn't have the screen yet, but everything else had arrived. I connected my own phone's screen again just to verify that everything is working. And then it happened.
I turned the phone on. It vibrated and the Mi logo came up as usual, everything seemed normal. After some seconds, while the Mi logo was still on, the screen suddenly turned kinda turquoise for a bit, as though it lost signal for a moment. Quite like an old TV would do.
It did that two times. After that the booting was completed and I had to enter the PIN - at which point I discovered that the screen does not seem to be registering touches anymore. It's displaying everything properly, but it won't react to any touches anymore.
I shut it down and plugged the screen back to the phone it belongs (my own). And touching is not working on my phone now either ...
(Volume buttons work - screen shows the volume bar changing up and down properly.
Screen is about 2 years old and was working flawlessly before.)
Anybody got a clue what might have happened? Can it be saved? I've never had this happen before. Can it be that some replacement part/flex cable was faulty and it damaged/burned the digitizer? How can the touching suddenly stop working just like that?
I highly appreciate any input since having used the screen from my personal phone, I am now left without a phone
Thanks to everyone very much for your time.

you should check the screen cable , you might have damaged it.
Check the ribbon cable under a microscope , check the pins also , you might have bent them. (70% probability)
if not , then your digitizer is damaged somehow (30% possible)

Thanks very much. And either scenario is not repairable I guess, right?

On the contrary, both are repairable.
the first scenario is repairable relatively easier compared to the second scenario.
if its the ribbon , it can be repaired if you have the equipement and micro soldering skills, you can easily repaired the broken traces.
For the digitizer , there are some repair shops that have the equipement to replace only the digitizer, and keep the original screen, its not a DIY task really as you need a lot of equipement thats not worth doing it yourself.
Hope this helps.

It most certainly has helped, thank you very much mate. Have a good one.
