Hi guys.
I opened up my phone to replace the housing for my JAM. I followed the guide to opening it up that I found on this forum. After putting it all back together, the phone turns on but the screen is just white, probably the backlight.
The phone still works, I can recieve calls and sync my phone, but thats about it.
Any idea what I mighta done wrong, or what I can do to fix it? As far as I can tell the wiring from the screen to the phone is undamaged...
Thanks,
Justin
what did it turn out to be, seems like a few people have this problem with no replies... could someone get a response and possible add it to a post of questions and answers

There are at least two multi connectors for the screen, one from digitizer and one to main board - so it's entirely possible screen is still receiving power but not signals from main board. That's not to rule out something more drastic but hopefully that's all it is.

Hi Mike.
This is my first post as I've so far managed to cure all my issues from just reading the forum. However, I am now having a similar problem with the white screen.
I have a cingular 8525. It fell, the following day the call and end buttons remained lit and wouldn't turn off, they also wouldn't work.
I soft rest, nothing, I then removed the battey and when I turned it back on, there was a white screen and the buttons below still don't work.
I have read the other posts on this issue, but I need help on exactly what kit to buy to reconnect the screen cable and instructions on how to do it as I've never taken apart a phone before, although I have dappled with other electronic devices.
Your help would be much appreciated, as I am in Jamaica and there are no technicians here who I trust to help.
Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
This is the first time I'm posting a message, because this is the first time I'm not able to find the answer via the search.
I have an MDA Vario with a T-Mobile ROM, the latest.
What is happening is that when I use my screen in the portrait position it will turn white with all kind of stripes, then I have to turn it on and off and then I can see the normal screen for a few seconds before it happens again.
I have updated my ROM and no difference.
No I have found out that when I use it in the Landscape mode, with the keyboard unfolded it is not happening. As soon as a fold back the keyboard it happens again.
Can any body tell me how I can get this to go away? I have tried looking for a driver update for the screen or something, but without any luck.
Please help.
Thanks.
Jort.
i'm affraid it is a hardware problem
the same thing happens to me, except quite opposite - when i slide the keyboard out, sometimes screen goes bad. turn off and back on does the trick. also, when the screen is not unfolded completely you can see 'crawling dots' ... i think it has something to do with 'floppy' connector tape (if there is one) or another way the screen is connected with the base of the device. i wouldn't like to disassemble my wizard to verify this claim, unless someone can tell me how to fix it - so that i am sure. anyone has any experience with that?
People at PDA Club say it's connector tape.
Mine Wizard has the same problem, I left it at the shop where I purchased it, for a warranty repair. I hope they'll fix it.
Anyway, I heard that the cost of this repair is about 100PLN [ that is about 25 Euro ]
thanks swistak. unfortunately in my town (eastern poland) there isn't too many people who knows what a pda is, that includes mobile shop, or other service stations workers. but it's good to know there is a way of solving the issue.
Ask people at pdaclub.pl forum for help.
I know that there are few guys who run their repair points, maybe You could send it to them via post.
heey,
before i start please my english is not soo good at al *dutch guy*
i'm, very new here,i done some roms and tweaks but all the easy stuff
i have been here around for some months but never posted anything,but alright everything hass a start

Thnx for reading already it must have been hard......to understand....
you all,can reply here or on [email protected]
thnx in advance,take care folks!
If you have insurance cover then claim it if possible
Your LCD seems to be having problems. LCD and digitizer come as one unit. There has been not much success seperating them without damage..
So you need to buy LCD+Digitiser set. Search E-bay.
You can read these threads for more info on this topic and also use search.
You can find the service manual here
Lastly if you are uncomfortable opening it your self you can search for repair stores on the net.
Hope it helps a little.

Hi all,
First of all let me appologise for my bad english.
I have a G1 and yesterday after i called someone the touchscreen stopped working.
Now I tried a few things to test if it was really not working
- flashed a new rom to see if it was the rom
- used a backup when it was working.
- Reset the phone.
Now I opened the G1 and noticed the Flex Cable has a little tear in it.
At first i thought that was the problem, but i dont think that cable breaks that easy if you make a phone call.
(I reassembled the phone and the lcd screen is working and all but no touchscreen)
So i was wondering, is it common of the touch screen just stops working?
And is there a way to test the touchscreen?
Many thanks,
MacWell
I'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong place or if this already has been answerd, but i couldn't find it with the search button.
not sure if this helps but if you have a screen protector, than remove it.. try cleaning the seams... not sure if it will help but i read a few posts saying it helped others...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I do not use a screen protector.
I ordered a new G1 flex cable and I hope this will fix the problem.
However if it doesn't fix the problem I think i'll buy a new touchscreen for the G1.
But if anyone has an idea please tell me
Hey everyone. I searched everywhere I could find but with no avail.
Here's my problem. I replace my digitizer with another one. I replaced it just fine as far as my knowledge goes, but after all finished and everything ready and closed/screwed on, I fired it up and the backlight was GONE!
The display works, the touch works, MyMobiler works both with mouse and finger touching on the screen, but the damn screen is DIMMED! I can barely see it if I removed the digitizer or if I shed some light(flashlight) on it from an angle. But just barely.
Tried 3 different ROMs since some suggested that on another thread, did a Hard/Soft reset, with no results.
Is this a screen/dimmer problem or whatever? So if anyone with some answer please help me out. Thank you.
I know that very few look at the Blackstone section nowdays but guys I really need some advice because I need to sell it and I have to pay for repairing(hoping to avoid it) before doing so and also because I already tried everything and I had enough of disassembling it and testing every connector/flex cable if they are connected properly.
Thank you.
loose or dis-connection somewhere..
check all your ribbons are properly lined up, and connected propperly too..
