I want to flash my XDA but I cannot find the button soft reset to run bootloader?
small hole in the casing on the buttom left of the connector
So I took apart my phone, and I think I screwed up somewhere.
When I turn my phone on, I can see that the screen is turning on, but nothing is actually being transmitted. I know that it can turn on cause in a pitch black room, the screen is on, but nothing is displayed- not even the Samsung logo or anything else.
I can wait a little while and plug my phone into computer and it'll show up on the computer, so it's not bricked.
I'm just asking to see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
You probably didn't connect one of the clips correctly. Or, worse, damaged the socket somehow.
For me, I did a screen replacement myself. I chipped a corner of one of the sockets while trying to wiggle the connector in. Screen did not turn on initially, but after I rebooted it couple times, it suddenly started working.

Do you have a picture/diagram that I can look at to see if mine is damaged?
You would have to open it up again and inspect the socket carefully. For me, a tiny piece of plastic broke away from a corner of the socket. It didn't seem like I actually damaged the connector so I just went ahead and tried it anyways and it worked.

Could you link me to the display you bought?

Did you realize that the hkc x106 tablet from ahappymango features a reset hole that you could poke for you personally to set the Android device back to factory settings? You'll ought to use a very tiny point object like a needle or a toothpick, something provided that it'll fit within the reset hole.
Should you check out the rear of your hkc x106 from ahappymango . You are going to locate there the following: Property Button, Reset hole, Microphone, 3.5mm port for ear buds, Charging port, Mini USB port, Micro SD slot as well as the energy on button.
The power button on a samsung note 2 that I inherited fails to work. The phone was left outside and rained on so when I first got it the screen did not work and I thought it was going to be trash however after drying it out and properly cleaning it the device screen works now and it will turn on when plugged in. I have one of the dongles that forces the phone into recovery but the power button just plain does not work. I don't know what to do but I would like to be able to use this phone.
I've dismantled a few of these phones and once I ruined a power button while sliding the the tool past it to pop the case apart. The power button is part of another assembly but can be replaced. Any version of the phone (Sprint/ATT/etc) will use the same subassembly for the power button. If that is the problem, you can swap it out.
Otherwise, you may have corrosion issues. I have brought older "dumb" phones back by spraying the circuit boards w/electrowash cleaner, scrubbing w/a toothbrush, and blowing off with an air compressor. Be sure to remove all ribbon connectors and scrub both sides of the connector. Also: DON'T JUST SPRAY THE PHONE WITH THE BACK OFF! the electrowash will stay visible the display, so do this in a controlled manner.
My springboard tablet stopped working without being plugged in almost as soon as I got it from T-Mobile. It fell from a height of about one foot onto a carpeted surface and stopped working. I finally opened it up and found out that the bracket that clipped and attached the the battery to the circuit board had cracked and broken away from the board. And I couldn't figure out how to solder such fine solders with my limited equipment and experience. My dilemma is that since it only works when plugged in, it automatically turns on when plugged in and I can't do the hard reset by holding the power button down and the volume down button until it vibrates and then pushing the volume up button. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to return the device to stock condition. How can I work around this hardware fault.
