Screen stopped working, only backlight after trying to fix vibrate

[forgeron]

So I tried to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376035

My screw was loose indeed. In fact is was so loose it fell out before I had opened it completely.

I tightened the screw, closed the cover, turned it on, and... nothing. Only the backlight of the screen, but the screen stays completely BLACK. Nothing. (I know the phone is working though, because if I hold the off button I'll hear the "boink" sound)

I tried this:
- With and without SIM card.
- With and without tightening the screw.
- With and without the power cord.

Mind you I have NEVER had this problem before. :(

What is going on here? Did I fuck something up badly while opening this phone? If I did I am going to be super sad, so please, help me! :)

Anyone? :(

I basically have the same fault mate. My vibrator lock screw was loose and it made the phone rattle.

I opened it up and probably either tightened the screw up too much and killed something on the mainboard or 'pinched' the lcd flex ribbon ( rusty gold coloured thing- it plugs into the small white ribbon connector on the MB ) with the opening tool.

Anyway - the phone could take calls , it seems to be working ,although I have no display , and the keypad buttons are all lit up very brightly , what scuppered me was with the constant case opening I eventually managed to break the power microswitch off the MB and I now have to use the reset button to power the phone on.

I don't want to waste money buying a new lcd screen for a phone which might be terminally damaged due to a mainboard fault , anyone narrow these faults down more ?.

Im just fixing my LCD on my P3600 and have it in bits,

is the display connector definitely pushed all the way in?

[The Local Ned]

Yeah m8 - AFAIK it is all the way in , I am certain that it is the flex ribbon connector that is broken.

For anyone else interested in this or that has the same problem - there is a program called ' my mobiler ' which can be found in the forum somewhere , using it will tell you all you need to know ;

i.e = if it is the phone itself that's broken , or it's a damaged display.:cool:
