So, being clumsy, I left my Streak in my hoodie pocket. Well, we can all see where this would end badly once I bent down to pick something up. I did, dropped my phone and cracked the screen.
I quickly went and bought a replacement glass + lcd display, and replaced the unit. But, upon turning the phone on, I noticed if I hit it a little too hard on one corner, It would restart, and the vibrator motor had ceased to work.
So I figured, hey, I'll just rebuild it again. So I took it apart. Looked through everything, took my time in putting it back together, because maybe everything wasn't fitting snug.
Now, When I turn it on, every thing is on, buttons light up, and the screen is lit up, but it is black. I never even get to the Dell logo. After about a minute the buttons dim, as if in idle. So i believe the phone still works, but maybe the connections on the MoBo is faulty? Any help would be nice, thanks.
check to see if the ribbons are snugged in place.

I agree take it apart and chech your work. I had problens with my camera and flash. It was tge connector not being fully seated
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well, I just took off the rear cover and reseated all 3 connections, pushed em in as smoothly and far as they would go. But, same thing. Black screen. But the LED is still working...
I'm having the very same problem. This is my second replacement screen and neither displays anything except black screen with backlight on, and the home + settings + back buttons remain lit. I can hear my phone starting up and receiving messages, but I cannot see anything. I've taken the phone apart and put back together five times between two replacement screens.
Does anyone know what ribbon cable might be at fault for this particular issue? The largest ribbon cable was shipped bent across the circuit board on both screens; there is a permanent creese in both ribbon cables, but I'm not certain this is causing the issue.
Any insight or assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone. A few months ago, my phone screen broke, and I replaced it. Ever since then, my digitizer has been funky. When I turn my phone on the top half of the screen is static and the bottom half is black. It shows a bunch of moving parts (the boot animation) then goes black. It also prohibits me from using Amon Ra which is my favorite recovery because the whole thing is static. When I press the power button after the boot animation, my homescreen is on & my phone is fine. I broke my screen again (don't judge me lol I see you looking at me with that face ) and instead of putting ANOTHER screen on, I bought both the screen and digitizer already put together. So last night I lost all touch capabilities of my digitizer, when I did swype it did the mark of satan by itself (possessed rezound?) and overall was just terrible. I opened it up, cleaned up the ribbon, put it back, and 95% of touch worked. Did the same thing today and 100% works, however, I still get the weird static-turn-on thing. I assume it's the ribbon port for the digitizer..so my question is, is it possible to clean that? I was thinking with a really soft toothbrush w/ alcohol on it but I don't wanna ruin my phone for good. Thanks in advance

Use what i do for computers. Take a new pencil, never used eraser, and use the eraser to clean the connectors. take q-tip with alcohol. brush across it, and fan it dry. about 2 minutes is good. Alcohol dries pretty quick. Hopefully this works for you.
I have been having some problems as well. I replaced the digitizer myself and the phone boots up completely fine and normal. I just have some "dead" spots on the digitizer which I cannot seem to calibrate. I have tried apps and everything. Is there anything I can flash through recovery?
Has anyone come up with a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
So dropped phone and screen went out. Replaced amoled and digitizer, device powered on and lit up home keys, but no display still. Replaced main board, in case video was out on board, but no joy. Any thoughts? No custom software or anything....
Maybe you didn't clip on the ribbon cables all the way. Or, just try pulling the battery and booting it again.
When I replace my screen, screen didn't work for first few boots.

I checked and checked, digitizer works, I can reboot and swipe unlock, adjust volume, but no screen. At this point I'm thinking bad LCD. Thoughts?
Thx for response and ideas though....
I bought a replacement but ut was a cheap fake, not an OEM screen. It went purple then black within 10 minutes. I got my money back (thank you PayPal) and made sure the next one was an OEM screen.
I hope you didn't spend too much on the repair parts. You can pick up a new Note for about $290 now.
hey, everyone...
quick question to see if anyone has come across this particular issue.
i've been running dirty unicorns, toast kernel alex uses for that rom.
woke the phone up yesterday am after spending the night on the charger.
still plugged in, i checked the time.
pushed the power button again to put it back to sleep.
nothing...the screen stayed on, but frozen.
unplugged it from the charger, screen powered down.
haven't been able to get the screen back on.
strangely, the home, menu, back and search buttons do manage to light up, though.
oddly, enough...the phone still works normally.
i can guess as to what my security pattern is, hit the magnifying glass to power up google now and ask it questions.
i can also receive phone calls and swipe to take or hang up the call as usual.
once on the call, i can guess as to where the red bar is for hanging up.
phone works like normal...as long as i can guess as to where everything is.
also, when in lock screen mode i can side swipe to get to the camera and take pictures.
so, essentially, screen doesn't work...but, it still recognises and accepts touch input.
i just can't see a damn thing.
any idea?
took it to a sprint corp store and they changed the housing for me...for free.
changed the screen, top housing, etc.
they said it looks like it might be the board.
any ideas beyond that?
thanks again, everyone!
also, on a weird note...my battery is bulging in the middle.
i guess it's on the way out...with everything else.
I've had this phone for years and am having this issue too. Anyone have an idea?
yeah, it turns out that my screen's fried.
at least that's what the sprint tech told me.
pretty much everything works perfectly.
impeccably...i just can't see it.
i guess that's it for the phone unless i want to replace the screen.
they're rather inexpensive...depending on where you source it from.
One morning I woke up and the bottom half of my Samsung galaxy avant (SM-G386T) had a grid of white lines going across it. First time I restarted my phone it went away.
But they keep coming back and now it's more permanent, Sometimes it goes away briefly but they come back. I tried factory resetting. That worked the first time for a few hours but then it came back. and I tried it again and 2nd time there white lines where there during the factory reset.
The lines even show when I turn the phone off and charge the phone. So I believe this means it is w hardware issue
I tried taking the back planel of the phone off. I disconnected and reconnected the lcd connector latch on the left side. But the problem still persists. I haven't pulled up the screen with a suction cup. So Idk if there is a cable that could be loose on the front end or not. But Idk want to go buy suctions cup if I dont need to you.
Should note that I do have a good sturdy rubber case on my phone. but it has hit the floor a few good times.
One other thing that seems to aggravate or sometimes even make the lines go away is putting my phone to sleep and waking it up repeatedly or adjusting my brightness to max.
What do you guys think? is this fixable or do I need to replace the lcd screen.
man its simple
just press the wires of display which are providing it power & ur problem will be gone.
Its due to lack of sufficient current to display!!

What wires are you speaking of exactly. cause like I said I have taken the back off and disconnected and reconnected the LCD flex cable but nothing changed. Are there wires behind the LCD I need to get to? which means I need to removed the screen with a suction cup?
I had an odd issue with my lg, as it was how i bought it. The screen was never able to do full brightness. I eventually just bought a new screen frame for the phone, and well. Now that i got it installed. I get no buzz, no lightup, nothing. Tried plugging it into the charger, holding the power button for many more minutes then probably necessary, and pretty much any possible button combination. Is it possible the board somehow magically fried when I replaced the screen frame? I'd certainly hope not, and hope this is something i can manage to fix. I've also tried using the old screen frame, and it yields the same results as the new frame.
