I recently replaced my digitizer and my screen is now dodgy ( i can sype but clicking on just about anything doesn't work...) Incidently I ripped a flex cable (i think thats what it is) but im not sure if it is related...
Here is a picture displaying where I ripped my ribon (along the red line):

Would this cause abnormal touchscreen behavior, or did I also ruin my LCD???
Thanks in advance!
You ripped it and things are acting weird? Well there's your problem.

yep - get another part and do it again - DON'T rip it this time
This part is NOT connected to the one I replaced, I am aware of the silly implications, no **** it aint workin son
my question is more if anyone know what this ribbon is specifically for.
thank you
it is broke so better to replace it that ribbon looks to be the one for fingerprint scanner, ear speaker and camera.my earpeice does not work at all and i have dead spots in my digitizer.it would be nice if just replacing that flex would fix it lol.
Well thats what it Should be for, but power, earpeace and camera all work.... I think I may order it and see, pray it is not the LCD that is damaged as the cellphone repair guy suggested it probably is.
I don't know specifically what that triangle is for. Depending on where it's ripped, it could just be a portion of the adhesive. To me this sounds like a digitizer problem and NOT the lcd. I'm under the assumption that if the screen displays clearly, then the lcd has done its portion of the job correctly. So either that rip messed the touch screen up or you could have just done a poor install of the digitizer.
Like he said its nothing with the LCD but with the digitizer.try that new cable and if that doesn't fix it replace the digitizer.

nope, i used a clear box with gloves so i didnt get any crap inside it
would superglue be alright to use under the corner of the touch module?
bottom right corner is lifting and nothing i put on it will hold it, ofcourse super glue would, just dont want it to stuff my module
would it be alright?
Whoa. Nice. It's a Panda Phone~ Lol.
Glad you survived the surgery operation >.<
just used superglue to stick the corner of the touch module down.
its stuck, it aint going absolutly no where, man this **** is strong, stuck my finger to my cloth, had to use salt water to get it off
How did you remove digitizer from housing with heat or something else?

Per schematics I looked at a while ago, and pictures I've seen, I think that the digitizer and the glass are bonded together. He probably just replaced the glass and digitizer at the same time.

Hi,
Since i few days, my screen doesn't turn on when I turn on my phone. I get a black screen until rom bootscreen, but it is... strange ( look at the pictures ). To take colors back, I have to turn off then on my screen.
Do you know what can be the problem? Is it a screen issu or connection between motherboard and screen problem?
Thanks

I've been having a similar issue to you. It started last week. Same thing, no longer see the white HTC bootloader screen, but the difference is, mine boots normally into the OS.
When this started, though, the first time, the screen did change colours similar to yours, and was also inverted (upside down and backwards). Very strange.
Looks like we're both running ROMs based on Sense 3.0... wonder if that contributed.
you should try replacing the lcd. might have gone bad if the colors are messed up like that. ill pm u a link to a cheap one.
Same thing has been happening to mines. Does it more when the phone is hot.
I believe its just the lcd going out or the ribbon cable from the phone to the screen coming lose or getting messed up.

Don't think just being loosewould cause that, plus how would it get loose?

Well my phone has fell off the bed a few times and something mmade the cable lose. I took apart the phone and undid the ribbon and put it back and the problem seemed to fix it.
Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?
two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.
