Dear Forum Users,

fist of all sorry for the fact that my first post is a request, a question and not a contribution - but im really dependent on your knowledge.

Despite the fact that in general it is not recommended to change the cover of your mda (or xda etc) I did it, and seem to have f***** up my display. The device itself is working just fine, i can do active sync, the taping also works (when i switch it off and guess where the yes button from "do you really want to turn off your device" is it actually shuts down properly). the thing is that i dont see anything, its just plain white.

when dissecting the unit i disconnected the connector from the display to mainboard in order to unmount everything (unfortunately i discovered afterwards that i could also have done it without connecting - dumb philipp :/ , but right now that doesnt change anything for me)

has someone dealt with a problem like mine before? i would be really thankful for any hints or advices to get my baby back to life, otherwise my old vk2000 will be my companion for the next 6 months (i shiver when i just think of it).

thank you in advance,

Philipp

Have you tried to disassembled, and than reassembled it again?
some times the display flat cable, isnt fuly inside the connector...
there is a possibility that you f*** up the connector, but for determine that we need a macro picture of it.

yes i messed with the connector indeed, but as the pins of the strip were down i thought the black piece wont be of that much importance (i can remember i fucked one up at a regular mobile yrs ago and it was still working)

can i get that thing back to life if i try to squeeze the 2 black parts (formerly one piece) back in or do you say its over?


thank you for your quick reply btw, i appreciate!

That is not good. i dont think you can do anything but send it to repair. maybe they can replace the connector.

ok, i will call them and check how much it is and if it is even worth having it repaired... if not, then i have a defective compact for sale :/

this guy has a bricked Charmer. Probably you can talk to him and see if he is willing you sell you the charmer as parts.
