Screen Replacement HD Mini, LCD stays black

Cheque · Jan 4, 2012

Hey Folks,

I just disassembled my Photon.
The glass was broken and I got a new one on ebay.
Disassembly went good, i used this guide.

On boot, the LCD backlight turns on, but screen stays black. green LCD in upper left corner blinks just as usual. (turns red when charged)
this issue was discussed in the video comments, but there came no other solution then "check plug, check cable"...

The cable of the LCD screen seems ok, i can't see any broken lane, and the plug is fine too.

Did anybody experience this issue and could give me a hint?

Thanks guys

This is so annoying.

I just tested again.
I used "Windows CE Remote Zoom" (this is shipped in the Visual Studio Toolbox) to get a view to my phone. It responds to my guestures, also sends a signal on some touches to vibrate (bottom bar).
backlight is workin, but no picture on the screen.

I hate it so much, hate it.

At least I could do a PimBackup, tryin to touch the right area on the screen using "WinCE Remote Zoom"...

[Added]
I shot a used device on ebay, which didn't cost me as much as a new LCD-screen. On The other hand, I am pretty good in assembling the mini. If anyone needs info, PM me
