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.

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!!
Okay... So my phone's flex cable ripped a few months back and my phone's display went out. I replaced the LCD and broke my digitizer in the process, only to find that it wasn't the lcd. I just replaced the flex cable and now my phone turns on and what not, but because I broke my digitizer, only the top half of the screen works, meaning I can't put in my pattern and am locked out of my phone. I ordered a new lcd a while ago, but as I wait for it to get here, I have the urge to play with my phone. I remember reading somewhere that there's a way to get into the phone, but I'm not able to dig it up.
It's just strange 'cus no matter how many times I input the incorrect password, it won't bring me to the 'sign into google to verify' page so I can just log into my google and have it unlock. Though that might be due to not having it activated currently, since I've had another phone activated on my account since then. But if I could just get it to sign onto the wifi I'd be fine. My phone has a keyboard so it's not too hard to navigate or type. Any solutions?
Anyone?
My wife dropped her S3 and broke part of her digitizer so I knew I had to replace it. I found one on ebay and it was delivered days later. First thing was hooking the screen up for testing before pulling the phone completely apart. With screen attached the phone boots up success the touch screen works. I shut the phone down, pull it apart, remove broken screen, attach new screen and reassemble...Phone boots and looks great but now the touch screen doesn't respond!!!
WTF is going on?! I tested the thing before hand. Used a hair dryer so there wasn't any excess heat and used kitten gloves during assembly.
Any idea what I can do to get the touch screen to start working again?
TLR - Tested digitizer before installing after installation complete touch screen doesn't work.
the only possible answer you're gonna get is that you did something wrong. and there's no way for us to know what. so try again
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi!
I have a problem.
I've tried to replace digitizer on Xperia Go phones for couple of times now. Almost everytime I had a problem.
When I placed digitizer into the frame it started activating, just like if I was pressing all arround on screen. I noticed that LCD is reacting with digitizer. I thought that they were too close to each other. So I placed double layer of tape. The same. Problem presist.
What could be a problem? I tried replacing digitizer on 5 or more Go phones, but every time the same problem. Other phones works just fine.
Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Eric Z.
I've just got it working!
It seems like LCD was touching digitizer. I just sticked LCD do back of the housing and now digitzer works fine.
But now I have new problem, phone won't recognize SIM. =(
