Hi,
I just replaced my lcd screen with a new one from ebay. When I turn on the phone, I have a white screen. After a couple of minutes, it goes black. I made sure all the cable were tight and also made sure the tape was in its proper place in the phone. I think I need to buy a flex cable, according to some other posts in the forum. Would someone please guide me in the right direction? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Make sure they're in far enough
Some of the connectors need to be pushed in to a certain point, because the connectors have a sort of top/bottom connection going on, if it is off by .5 mm then it can connect to the wrong place on the flat cable. I noticed a little line on mine, and don't forget to push the locking mechanism down on the cable. (that is where my line... lines up)
Install Issue Please Help
I think I have fixed the issue. I bought a new flex cable from china and my phone did power on. The issue i am getting now is that the front buttons will not click in properly when the new flex cable is installed. The cable is from china, and I am not sure if it is my fault, but the original cable and the new cable are a little bit different.

anyone know how/where to get an xda mini II repaired? i'm in italy, but i can careless where it has to go. I'm at the point where i would rather just sell the device for it's workable parts (if there are any)...Today the screen has done a myraid of interesting things...anywhere from blank to thousands of vertical lines....ugh...
ohh yeah...warranty is void....or is time to just move on?
ok...no answers so i thought i would add some images ...anyone seen this before?
Mate i had a similar **** up a while back ...I did a HR and it worked fine..for me it was caused by a Overclocking software [Dnt want to Name it ]
If this dnt work try the Batt out and back in trick
Call ur Local service Center...
mine looks exactly teh same! but it happened after i tried to replace my housing, i screwed up the little gold prongs where the ribbon connector from the lcd plugs in...****! any ideas on how to fix? im the us so service center isnt really an option, and id ont want to send it off.
hi i had the same problem with my magicians, after i changed the housing. i found the problem with my device was that i had not plugged the screen back in properly. all i did was to ensure that it was pushed in properly before i clipped it back in
Menappi -
I had the exact same issue. I reopened the casing WITHOUT disconnecting any cables. I flipped the screen's ribbon black lock up, while maintaining pressure on the ribbon so that it does not pop out. When the black lock lifted, the preasure of my finger moved the ribbon further in . I pushed the black lock down, reassembled the device and ... PRESTO!! the screen works perfectly... and chumps on the bard advised to buy a new screen!!
Good luck
Hi All,
seems, you have problem somewhere in display connector. However, sometimes I see similar picture on physically broken displays, let's imagine, you were careful ad didn't use a hammer during housing replacement.
There are two possibilities: at first - try to remove and re-insert display cable (I hope, you know. how brown lock works). If there is no success - try again. At second - some wire on flat cable may be damaged. Sometimes, good technician with soldering iron can fix it, sometimes not. And if you used force, removing cable, board connector may be damaged too. However, only the experienced man can find it easily.
So, try to carefuly re-insert display cable. Try several times. If you are unsuccessful, you, for sure, need an experienced technician to fix your device.
I hope, you are not enough mad to send device for repair to Russia
So I bought a new housing for my O2 XDA II Mini, during the removal of the display ribbon I broke the little black part on the display connector which holds the ribbon down, and after hours of trying to get the ribbon back in and secured I have bent the pins in the connector to buggery.
The ribbon appears to be untouched, however the connector which the display ribbon goes into is broken.
Is there anywhere I can get hold of one of these little connectors to replace my broken one, obviously very sensitive soldering will be needed to remove the old one and solder the new one in place.
Alternatively, does anyone know any mobile phone repair shops in Auckland, New Zealand who would be able to help out with my situation?
I fear all i'm going to hear back is "the motherboard needs to be replaced", however I am determined not to go through this route, as I am a poor student and the phone sounds as if it functions fine, makes the beepy noise when first starting up on the setup screen.
I was very careful with the actual screen unit while removing it, and I have had signs of life earlier on in the broken connector episode, however I can no longer get anything showing as I can't fit the cable in.
Cheers for any help.
Anything would be appreciated.
"obviously very sensitive soldering will be needed"
And that only can be done by machines/robots. I don't think humans are even able to sloder those kind of connections...
But, could you post a picture? cause I might have suggestions on how to fix it. One would be to bend back the pins on the tiny slot with a toothpick and when done to tape the flatcable, so it stays there.
I've maybe got a spare creen for you.

Hi, I've still got a SPV 500 and a MDA Compact, need to find it if you want you can have my MDA Compact screen.
Just PM if you are interested.
Hey guys, I need the ribbon cable for an 8525, I actually need 2 of them because I severed one, and then I severed the replacement from another phone that I bought. At first, I bought a ribbon cable from cnn.cn but it doesn't work for some reason, it just shows a white screen no matter what. I swapped my phones board into another persons phone and it worked fine, I put theirs in mine with the cnn.cn ribbon cable, and same thing, white screen. So, does anyone have a broken 8525 in which the ribbon cable is still in tact and not water damaged? If so, please let me know, I would like to buy it off of you, or, does anyone know where I can buy a ribbon cable that will work? Thanks!
theres many ribbon cables - please specify
Have you tested different front keyboard circuit board? I mean this part: http://cnn.cn/shop/tytnsoftbank-x01ht-front-keyboard-p-1553.html ?
I had the fading to white problem and it was fixed with that(there are a lot of faulty front KB switchboards around)..
You can also try a solution found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872&page=8 post #78 -it might help you.

The one that goes from the LCD to the mainboard.
Yes I have tried, it's no the white screen problem, the ribbon itself is the problem, I took the ribbon out of anther phone and tried it with the front keyboard thats in my phone, worked perfectly....

If you read my original post, I bought one from there, the cable doesn't work, it just shows a white screen, so I'm not sure whether the cable is defective, or if they cable they are selling is just incompatible.
If anyone has a broken phone with a good ribbon cable, please let me know ASAP, I'd like to buy it ASAP and am willing to pay a good price. Thanks!!
anyone have anything??
Hey guys!
I've a really big problem:
I tried to fix the "white screen of death" syndrom of my SPV M3100. But when I put together the phone again (the LCD-part) I didn't push in the flex cable of the LCD hard enough into its connector, so when I closed back the LCD part, I might have damaged the flex cable. What I know for sure is that I broke the 2 white small crooks of the connector (by accident of course). Now when I turn on the phone, the screen stays off (but the upper LED for GSM/UMTS connectivity glows for a few seconed, also the LEDs from the small keypad), only when I push hard enough on the LCD-flexcable-connector, I see a white screen, sometimes some lines, but I never saw a "good screen" again. Now my fear is, that I screwed up the LCD flex cable, what can I do in that case? buy a whole new LCD only cuz the ribbon is broken? Do I have to replace the flex cable of the phone itself too, (cuz the crooks of the connector ar broken) or can I glue the connector somehow?
I hope you know what I mean. If you need any more info plz ask me.
Plz help me in this issue, this phone is the best I've ever ever had, I don't want to lose it! Thanks in advance!

PS: took you a pic, so you know about what connector I'm talking about.

You will need Both.
Go on ebay and try to see if someone is selling the same Cell for Parts that might help you in getting your parts cheat.White Screen is indication of a bad LCD and you said you damage your flex cable too so should try ebay for a Parts Phone.Good Luck. D
