Default i just broke my 4 day old $180 tytn 2, RIBBIN CABLE HELP

i am a complete ****in idiot.

I bougth a tytn 2 got it cheap, worked nicely, but case was tatty, so bought a new one, thought ok ill fit it myself, dismanteled it which took ages, what a ****in job that was.

got the screen in, and then attached the slider, ob wasnt on right, connected the keybord, and went to slide, it , only came out half way, i thought mmm ok, ribbon cable stuck, went to remove the keyboard, was a bit rought, and i sliced the robbon cable on the phone,

after hours of being upset (its my gfs phone) i got the courage to call her and tell her what happened, she didnt blame me but she was upset, and i need to wait till saturday till i can get her a new one.

But i was thinking, shurely i can buy a new screen somewhere, and pay someone to finish putting on the new case and fit the newly bought screen before then to have it fully working before saturday,

can someone help me out here, im in the uk if that helps

You can find a new screen online, i just bought one off ebay for 35USD including shipping.

Since i'm not in the UK i dont know where you could go to get someone to repair it for you but i'd imagine there are such shops.

I'm having issues with my kaiser as well. The lcd i ordered is for my dad's (he dropped his phone down a marble staircase) and just right now i woke to find my kaiser screen all white

hi there thanks, i got a screen for 25 quid and a new case for 50, not to go to the local phone shop see how much it will cost to fix it,

your phone sounds like a software issue, did u try to reflash it with a diff or the same rom, or soft and hard reset it first ?
