Hi guys, I picked up a 1st gen 8GB Nexus 7 from eBay, it was sold as faulty (they said it doesn't power on) it does actually power on, Windows 7 connects and i can access the storage and i can hear my finger presses on the screen so i know it's powered on and the digitizer is working however there is no display whatsoever, i have taken the back off and reseated the battery connection and all ribbon cables to the digitizer / LCD assembly and nothing, the LCD looks immaculate there are no fractures or bleeding, absolutely no signs of damage yet it just stays black? I suspect the short ribbon cable to the LCD is at fault but before i order a replacement is there anything else you guys can think of?

hi i have just bought a new lcd screen and when i connected it it lit up. but as i tried to fit it in the casing sumthing mustve went rong. i then realised the flex cable of the lcd was really bent, and one of the pins of the lcd socket is out of proprotion. now the lcd wont even light up. my old lcd i have, wen connected saw some life (only some leds lit up) however since it was broken the screen remained blank.
any advice on the problem ? thanks
Okay, so I have a Photon Q 4G LTE and for a while, my phone's screen would flicker and die sometimes. Then it eventually just went dead and the backlight still comes on, but it's a blank/black screen. I replaced the LCD and I'm still having the same problem, so I'm kinda stumped on what it could be. Any suggestions? Ideas or thoughts?
It could be a chip for display or flex cable. It could be also power chip not working well, having faulty power to the lcd.
Hi
I've dropped my HD2. Everything is working, including touch screen, I can unlock the phone, I can answer the call, but screen is black, not broken.
What should I do? Does the lcd screen replacement will be sufficient? In that case, could the screen be ok, but some other display "processor" could be dead? I'm asking because I'll try to this on my own.
Could simply be the lcd cable has slipped slightly but probably more likely an LCD replacement needed.
You need remove rear housing & have a look & make a decision from your findings/testing.
hello
I've got a little update - lcd screen is working well - I mean it displays the image, the only malfunction is backlit. Right now when i use flashlign I can actually see whats on screen. Do you have experience or think that backlit connection can be repaired? Do You have any schematics for hd2' lcd ?
I suspect new LCD required by sounds of it. LCD can not be stripped for repair so after basic inspection of external connection replacement is only solution & not expensive due to falling cost of HD2 parts.
Now it won't power on. Is this normal, or did I definitely damage the motherboard?
Hello,
Is it vibrating when turned on via the power button or connected to the charger? If so, the motherboard is fine.
AMOLED screens just turn off completely when cracked
I have a G530, the Tmobile version, though fully unlocked, rooted, etc. I had cracked the digitizer and while waiting for a new one I dropped it again and the LCD popped out with the digitizer, disconnecting itself and would come back on after that. I got a new LCD and attached it to the board (disassembled) and all worked. I mounted the board back in the case and reattached everything but then only the backlight would turn on during initial boot. The connection seemed loose and after 2-3 reconnects I got my display to work, but while attaching the digitzer, the glass at the very top, just before the lcd starts broke... So I got ANOTHER lcd and digitizer (They're cheap) This LCD only gives the backlight at initial power on, with no display response, but no matter what I do, I can't get it to kick on like the last one.
I'm trying to get an idea if it is the new LCD, or if my connector on the board is broken, It looks like maybe a bit of plastic at the top broke off.. and is making the connector a bit loose. Since I get a backlight, anyone have any experience as to which is more likely broken? I'm not sure if power from the connector goes straight to the backlight, or if it goes to the LCD first, and if I would get a backlight with a bad LCD. These are cheap $25 LCD & Digitizer bundles from Amazon, like 'Mencia' brand so good chance I could have gotten a new one that is dead.
I'll try to get another up close shot of the connector, this magnifying app didn't focus in as well and you cant see the individual connectors as well, but they are fine, its the very top part of the connector looks a bit smaller. The bottom part has a piece of metal sandwiched between the plastic, but the top doesn't have a bit of plastic after the metal tab, of course, it could be absolutely nothing :s
