My streak was cracked when I accidentally sat on it. So I ordered one from ebay and replaced a new screen on it. After replacing the new screen, my streak only showed blank screen when I turned it on. I don't know if during the process of disassebling I did something wrong or not. But I did actually redo all the steps but the problem still occured. If anyone can give me any direction to see what wrong with my phone. I am really appreciate that.
Bengo..... My 2-cents is: Assuming you got all cables & connectors re-assembled correctly, you either have a defective replacement screen/digitizer or when you accidently sat on it you may have broken more than just the screen (cracked main board or similar). I would start with trying another replacement screen...

Did you switch it on with the broken screen? Did the display work partly?
If it did, atleast we know that the assembly may have caused the problem.
You might want to check the connectors again. See if they are secure and if the little brown clips have actually secured the tan coloured wires. Make sure they are down and fastened. The wire with the serial number and the bar code on it is the one responsible for the display. so make sure thats secure.
Also, if you dont already, try to test if it works before you put the screws back on. Just put the plastic parts back together and test. If it doesnt check connectors again.
In any case, if you decide to re-order a new screen, the connectors would come with it (except the small one for audio). SO you can take time fiddling with the other three connectors.
Best of luck!!
Did you solve this? I had the exact same problem after dropping mine, changed display and then always blank screen. If you have any info I'd appreciate it!!

I purchased a broken XDA (broken touchscreen) to take apart and try to repair - didn't want to crack the case on my working one. Before opening the it, I turned it on and got the "Align Screen" routine, so I know the screen worked at one point. I opened it up, detached the cables, removed the LCD module, then reassembled everything. I used the same LCD module, no replacements at this time, this was just a trial run.
Unfortunately, once I tried to turn the XDA back on, I got nothing. I performed a hard reset and got the White Screen. Tried soft reset, hard reset, opened it back up and redid the cables. Still nothing.
I'm open to suggestions.

Bad reassembled or disassembled
Obviously. Anyone with useful suggestions?

i had the same rpoblem too, never solved it, although before this i made the same trick more than 5 times oin which one of them was on the same phone.
Just a thought but when you've taken out the lcd & put it back in have you overtightened it ? or is there anything pushing on the edges of the screen ?
I know some displays go very strange if there is pressure at certain points.. just an idea :?
LCD Screen Change
Haha! I fixed it. Got a big ol' magnifying glass and examined the connector. One of the little pins was bent and touching the pin next to it, so I pulled it away, and lo and behold, everything started working normally!
Whew. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

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.

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!
HTC legend. Screen behave very strangely.
When you turn phone on its kind a OK, but in some time strange things happen.
Some parts of screen are unresponding. Or for example if you slide at the bottom of the screen it acts as if you pull status bar down.
Some times every touch tries to pull status bar down. But then again it will be normal.
Is that a hardware or software problem.
I tried hard reset too, didnt help. So is it screen itself then?
I would change it, but still not sure about it. Why its not bad all the time?
Thanks for all the help.
Search for TouchRecalibrate in Market maybe that helps.

hardware i'm afraid.
had the same problem after my phone got wet along with me in bat-****-crazy storm.
you don't need to replace the lcd, just the digitizer.
i picked one up off ebay for £10.
the replacement process is kinda scary in places - mainly prising the digitizer off the lcd.
if you're still under warranty and the damage wasn't obviously caused by yourself (that includes getting water inside the casing - the water residue gives it away unfortunately) i'd flash back to stock and rma it.
Well I thought it will be digitizer too.
Already ordered one. And yes, my missus dropped it in to a toilet after just 2 months since she bought it new. Just didn't had time to get to it till now. And warranty doesn't apply for this
She should have bough same like me - Defy
This is the 2nd digitizer I've broken on this phone. I took it off and replaced it. I put it back together and the digitizer did not work. I checked the connections and even took the digitizer off. I put the old, cracked but working, digitizer on and it no longer worked. I took the phone apart again and put the new digitizer on and it still did not work. Considering the old digitizer suddenly did not work, it must have been something I did to one of the boards or connectors on the phone. Also, the speaker no longer works. Any thoughts or suggestions on where I went wrong?
I can't guess what's the problem exactly but I can give you a few tips.
dissasmeble the phone according to the vidoes you can find on the web.
when you assemble it don't attach the digitizer to the screen yet. connect the digitizer first to the phone. then put the screen in place, with the digitizer still connected but not on the screen.
in this way you can test the phone before "closing" it.
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.
