OMG White Screen!

[vsicarbon]

Ok I need help from the gods of xda

I dropped my tilt the other day. When I picked it up everything seemed fine, yet the screen was completely white. No signs of cracks or a broken lcd. So I've tried the following: Soft reset, Hard reset, took out the battery, took apart the phone and disconnected the lcd and then re connected it. Still the same problem. WHITE SCREEN!

I can still receive/make calls, when i touch the screen in places where i remember the menus to be it still responds due to the noise, also the open and close noise still sounds.

The phone was bought new on Ebay, so i don't have a warranty through them or AT&T. After much research I hear people saying the same has happened to their phones as well and that there is a ribbon or flex cable problem. Something about still giving power to the LCD but not data, thus the white screen.

Now what I dont understand is do I need a new LCD because it has that ribbon/flex cable on it???? (link (http://www.blackberry8100parts.com/ATT-TILT-LCD-Replacement-Screen-W-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-TD028TTEB3_p_35-70.html))

or

Do I need this product?(link (https://www.oemcellphoneparts.com/products/HTC-8925,-AT&T-Tilt-LCD-Flex-Cable-KAISER,-TyTn-II.html))


Both contain a "flex cable" so im confused and frustrated, someone please help! :confused::( any ideas would help

I am curious about this as well. I have a friend who has a hermes and he mentioned to me that that his screen was starting to go white like explained here. I look at his phone and I also noticed that the bottom hardware keys were not working at all.

I am wondering if this same ribbon cable for the LCD would also be the same one for the bottom keypad and if I fix the screen the keys will become active again.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,

Tuck in for a long read and perhaps no single answer for all cases:

In short, yes the d/pad cable and LCD screen connections are linked which is why it is not uncommon for the white screen to show up when the d/pad is not working.

To the OP - I would just point out that if you get the white screen after a fall it may just be a loose connection at the d/pad and no need for new parts.

But let's not start discussing the white screen here, please use the first link I gave above if you need to post.
