Hopefully, one of you will know the answer to this, and save me some money. :)
I have a Wing I just fixed for a friend by replacing the LCD - the new LCD works in the sense that it's no longer cracked, however, I'm seeing some anomalies that I dont recall it having before.
When the keyboard is closed, the color is 'off'....the blue of the title bar looks like the gradual fade is blocky (kinda like when a PC's vid card is set to 8 bit color) and a little green. When I slide the keyboard out the tiniest noticable bit, the color goes back to blue, but is still blocky - slide it further, and the gradient corrects itself, and the display looks normal.
Obviously, the problem is that it only looks good when the keyboard is open - that's not how I like to carry my phone, though. :)
Since I jsut replaced the LCD, I'm thinking either loose connection (which I doubt, as I'm very careful to properly seat all the cables) or a bad flex cable.
Can anyone contribute to troubleshooting this problem? I can deal with buying a flex cable if I have to, but if it's something else, I may as well just buy a new phone (I'd hate to see what a mobo goes for on this thing....)
Anyone got an idea?
Thx,
