Digitizer replaced still not working

Hi we had a diamond 2 that stopped responding to touches on the screen, it had a fairly deep scratch so I assumed it was a damaged digitizer. I ordered one from ebay for £10 and have replaced it only to find that I still have the same problem.
Could this be cheap faulty digitizer from ebay or is there a problem with the main board. I have noticed that if the screen dim's when I touch it does brighten up.
Thanks

Did you calibrate the screen?

Hi Bruce
I could not calibrate as the digitizer did not respond to my touches. I tried mymobiler but I could not click yes to allow it to run, again because the digitizer did not respond to touch.
Is there another way to calibrate a new digitizer?
Thanks
Sully

Since the backlight brightens on touch, something is registering, so I wouldn't thing it would be the digitizer itself.
Have you looked at any of the other replacement threads? Perhaps this issue has been covered, but I'm not sure.
I read that if it doesn't work, try loosening the screws by 1\4 turn and see if responds then.
Not sure if this post will help.

[Q] Digitizer Replacement

I cracked the Digitizer on my Aria and spent the past few hours replacing it. Upon boot, the LCD works fine as well as all hardware buttons, however now the touch does not work, I can press VERY hard on the screen and it kind of works, but for normal touches it does not. I was wondering what you guys thought, could it be a connection issue with the flex cable or a hardware issue with the Digitizer. I don't know if it matters, but there is also a slight gap between the Digitizer and the Body of phone now. Thanks.

I watched that video and another to change it. The problem is now that I changed it, it's now unresponsive. It worked before with cracks. I think it may be defective and I plan on emailing the company I got it from tonight.

Nevermind
Figured it out. For some reason HTC made the phone lock the screen anytime the Proximity Sensor is covered. Kinda weird, considering my SGS only locks when on the phone app, but yeah, if anyone else has this problem, make sure the Proximity Sensor is lined up correctly with the holes for it in the glass.

[Q] D800 Intermittent "Static" Screen

I've got an issue with my D800 that I'd like some confirmation on. Since this afternoon, it's intermittently had a static filled screen. I've found that if I tap it a few times, it comes back to a normal screen. A few times, the screen has come up off center from what it normally is.
The digitizer looks to work 100% of the time. I'm confident that this is a hardware issue in that, if I reboot the phone, I have that static all the way through, from where the boot logo should be to my home screen.
My question is this: Is it the LCD or just the ribbon connecting the screen to the mainboard? My personal feeling is that if it were the screen, then it wouldn't intermittently come back. Also, reseating the ribbon is cheaper than replacing the LCD.
Any thoughts from those that have had this happen to them before?

Hello praetorzero,
Can you describe more about your "static" screen?
Do you mean like a noisy screen like old television displays?
Do you mean that one image like home stays the whole time on your screen?
By these both things you can try to reseat the ribbon but watchout that you don't move the ribbon too much because it can get bad.
It's true that it's an hardware issue. If you have warranty you can RMA it to let it be repaired. If you don't have warranty and the ribbon reseating doesn't work then you maybe can buy a LCD+Digitizer for like 80 euro or you might just sell your phone :/.

I can't post links yet, but let's try this anyway:: i.imgur.com/tPFHxJb.jpg
This isn't my picture, but this is exactly what my screen looks like when it's not working. If I rap the lower portion of the screen with my knuckle, it will either go back to completely normal or go off-center with the lower half of my homescreen represented at the top of the screen and the lower half static. Again, the digitizer works in the expected location, because I can still unlock the phone with my typical swipe.
Unfortunately, I bought this off of eBay, so there is no warranty. I'm on my own.

Hardware problem?

I have samsung i9505 with broken screen after fall. I could hear phone booting, light at the front was working. I bought another full screen with frame and replaced the old screen. After replacement nothing changes, except for buttons at the bottom of the screen, they light after touch. What can be wrong? How to check this? Phone is identified by computer, I can look at all files.

It's possible the replacement screen is defective or the motherboard connection is loose or damaged.

Broken Panel Or Glass?

Hi guys... I have an s7 edge that fell from my hand and its screen got broken from the edge..
1 thing i wanted to confirm before going to the repair shop is...
Either its a broken panel or broken glass.
Screen flickers and green lines appear and almost a quater from down side is white shaded but sometimes it becomes clear and touch is always working absolutely fine at every end of the screen.
How much screwed am I?
No pictures for now... Can pm on request if someone wants to see them

If your screen is flickering youll need a the whole assembly, digitizer, led, and glass.
