Well guys this is what happened:

1. My wife got mad with me and broke my lovely trinity. In fact only touch screen was broken, lcd still works.
2. So I bought a new one on ebay (lcd+touch), so much more cheaper!
3. I replaced the broken one for the new one and everything was fine, I got my trinity back
4. Anyway I had to disassamble it all again because lcd was not placed conveniently, I've done it several times until I got it perfect but when I power-on there was no image on LCD, just a black screen with backlight.
5. I thought it could be a damage in flex cable, but older lcd leads me to the same result.

Any idea?

Can't find a reason for it! Broken flex or chipset damage? I'm not in the mood to buy a new one to check it!...

Great! I got my trinity working now with my brand new lcd, but it's kinda unstable i wonder if could be keypad flex cable that is broken as i read somewhere that a broken cable could cause other issues...

NOW SOLVED: I unpluged keypad flex and removed the whole board now it works perfectly (no keypad of course, but i'll buy a new one ;) )

Thanx!!!!

Thanks vimafeje!!! you are great!!!! i thought my problem was software!!! i tried all kind of stuff,change roms, radios, format with mtty, unbrick..and always got that black screen!!! almost tried everything!!and i luckily found this thread... your solution was mine!!!
before reading your thread i used to make some pressure on the down right side of the battery...and it was working a couple of minutes because when pressing on battery i was pressing under screen !!!
anyway......i'll try to disassemble it to fix it.....
i think my problem came from one of my trinity's fall !!!

hello,

its look like you are having a connection problem with the flat cable to connect the screen to the motherboard. making some pressure in the side of the trinity, like in the picture posted some post ago qill prove that.

so, have you try to dismantle them?

try it, and make shure the flat cable is in place, try to turn on the phone while he is dismantle, and if the screen is not working, try to touch this flat cable.

i solve mine by luck, i have dismantle mine more than 50 times!!!!! but now, it's working wonderfull!!!!

good luck!!!

try it,

The problem is the flex cable connection of the display or keypad to the motherboard.

Check if the display flexcable is well aligned and properly inserted into the motherboard slot.
Place a piece of paper or other soft material on the two connectors (display/ keypad) to improve the pressure from the back cover in these components.

i have the same problem 3 weeks ago, if u r in Shanghai China. I bet u can 100% fixed. I hv send to repair house and they tried to fix the flex cable but no luck. Change the touch screen same issue happen. and when the Samsung CPU is depressed. It boots up all right. So... the root cause is the CPU BGA balls suspected crack. So this guy just removed it reball it and place back.. Wallah!... IT WORKS!!!。。。。 My Trinity was dropped before black screen... hope this help!.. My advice is if you r not good in rework skill,don't do it. Get the expert help!... it cost me RMB400... :-(
