My Titan slipped, the screen broke. The screen broke but the phone was functioning.
I tried and replaced the digitizer.
Now, when I power up, nothing comes on the screen (no windows etc).
The phone boots fine, LCD is lit, I can hear the sounds during boot, phone is charging etc etc.
Anyone know what might be the issue ? Only thing that went wrong during repair was the volume control cable broke. I thought I cannot use the volume control but can that me the cause ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Not sure what is wrong with your phone, but wondering where you got a new digitizer?

From eBay (China Shipped) for $35. Can get from US sellers for about $48.

If the screen doesn't turn on at all check to see the bottom ribbon cable is not damaged and inserted correctly.
If it turns on but the touch doesn't register correctly check that the top ribbon cable is inserted right, and also that "ALL" of the pins in the connector are in place!!

Thanks for the reply.
The screen turns on a but its all white light.
I don't see anything else like windows loading, logos etc. I checked both ribbons, it can hears the sounds while booting, basically cannot see anything related to software.

Did you also replace the LCD?
Have you tried a hard reset if it's a software issue?
Also with the original digitizer on did it boot up?

As I wrote the volume ribbon is broken and therefore, I can't hard reset it. I think that is the issue.
So if you are assuming it is in fact a software issue try connecting to Zune and restoring!

So I cracked my LCD screen, bought a replacement, opened up the phone w/ little incident (man they really do cram a lot in there!) and I powered it on.....
the screen is just white, if I fiddle with the connection at where the LCD connects into what I believe is the digitizer I can kind of see a keypad button layout.
What do these symptoms describe and does anyone have a link to the service manual?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I had to replace the LCD on a wizard so here my experience... Make sure the two data ribbons are inserted securely. Also, before you power on, plug your hermes into your computer (assuming your computer is on and logged in as an admin) via USB (this sounds weird but I had to do this for some reason....) and then turn on the wizard.
If you still have a problem, you may have damaged something more than the screen.
Good luck.
Ok I will give plugging it in a shot.
Before you plugged it in what did it do when you powered it on?
anyone else have any input on what the issue could be?
It could be wrong LCD. There are two types of LCD for hermes/wizard with same connector but they are different. One is with gold flex cable, the other is with black flex cable. First one is most popular on wizards, the other on hermes. Check what was the color of your previous lcd flex cable and the new one.
Instructions
Can anyone post the instructions on how to take the lcd apart ?
I have gotten this far

I'm a bit afraid to go on without instructions
Here is the lcd I got
http://cnn.cn/shop/8525tytn-touch-p-87.html
I recently replaced a cracked digitiser in my X10. After replacement, the LCD no longer displays an image (but it lights up).
I thought maybe the LCD ribbon was damaged as a result of the repair, so I got a new one and replaced the LCD to no avail.
I also found the vibration motor had came off, and I soldered that back on (the motor is working again), but I'm thinking that maybe it ripped some of the board off with it, as the bottom of the motor as some green board on it, and it's slot on the mobo has some brown board showing in that area. This could just be a convenient seating for the motor, but I'm not sure, as I don't have another to test with.
The phone boots, and it makes a sound when I hit the volume keys, and it vibrates when I unlock it (even though I cannot see anything).
Does anyone have any further experience with the X10 that could help me diagnose my issue?
Thanks
Bump?
look for broken circuit traces and check the display connecton the board it may have pinns ripped out of place pictures would also help
I desoldered the motor again so that I could show you.
and re-soldered it (The motor still works, btw).
I also cleaned around the board with isopropyl alcohol.
As far as I can see, there is no further damage to the board, and the screen is new, so it shouldn't be an issue.
The digitiser, and the sound works, (I can hear sounds with the volume keys, and I can feel the vibration of unlocking).
I removed and re-inserted the pins on the removable connector on the LCD screen, with no avail. They seem ok.
I'm outta ideas. Anyone?

Which cable? I tried pressing down on all 4 of the connectors (one at the top next to the USB, and the three on the sides on the bottom next to where the battery sits.
I also tried pressing on the motor. Nothing.
Anything else?
Yup remember a PSP screen acting erratically cuz it's cable is damaged

Could you desolder the board stuck to the motor see if there are traces leading to the LCD connector if it is then repair is least likely since there are no traces left below or the whole layer holding the traces are ripped off

Do you have another board or another flex cable?
Sent from my X10i using XDA
I don't think it's a good idea to de-solder the board attached to the motor, as there is no fixing fixing it that part anyway, and it will just risk further damage.
I have 2 LCD screens. This one is new. Both don't work. I don't think the LCD screen itself is the issue, which makes me believe the problem is the mobo.
Thanks for your help so far. If you or anyone else has any more ideas, then I will listen, otherwise, I'm gonna try cook this board as a last resort... got nothing to lose, really and in a rare-case, maybe it will help fix some loose solder joints I can't get to
Are you using the old cables

I don't have another mobo, but the cables on the LCD are new. The other cables are old, but seem to be working. Everything but the LCD works.

I've just received a cracked s2 gt-i9100 the screen was cracked and didn't show an image but still the buttons lit up and the phone vibrated on touch i ordered a new screen and set about replacing it unfortunately upon doing so I snapped the power button ribbon cable so i'm unable to power up the g2 till the new one arrives, when i plug my phone into my laptop the screen turns on and shows a battery charging however the laptop keeps saying unknown device... I've tried different cables and a different laptop not sure if i could of damaged the usb or if it might be that there is no power button ribbon connected?!
Would really love any help? like maybe there is a way to turn the phone on without the power button for the moment?

I don't think the power ribbon cable have anything to do with the phone not being recognized by the computer, but everything is possible. Are you sure you didn't mess up anything inside the phone, when replacing the screen?

pretty sure I didn't... the phone still shows it's charging when plugged in via usb
So after my original usb port completely crapped out on me I bought a replacement online. After installing when I plug in my usb it immediately reboots and just does this reboot cycle again and again. I've tried two separate usb ports, both do the same. The any ideas?
You've been hit up by the original Cyanescen
You might not have everything securely fastened to the mainboard. Check that first.
Its like something is shorting out or isnt grounded.

I think it was uh improper grounding hence the importance of sticky tape that comes on the components. I took it apart again and just stuck it down all that much better and it seems to work properly now

Hey I was wondering, could you send me the link to the one you bought? I bought one online but they sent me the wrong one, and refunded my order so if you could send me the link to the working one that would be great! Thanks

where did you get it?
This is just a quick query on behalf of a friend.
He recently dropped his lumia on the floor breaking the screen. I got him a replacement and installed it for him.
Ever since then the ability for the screen to rotate has now gone. Turning the phone does nothing. Also the speaker has also stopped working. Could this happen because of the drop?
Also the replacement screen only had one ribbon connector. Not 2 like the original screen. But the screen works great. So what is the other cable for? As it's currently not connected.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Well, if the speaker and accelerometer don't work, what for was the second ribbon?)) Look for the second connector again.
The original screen had 2 ribbons wired in. The replacement screen had one. But the screen works good. It's a mystery.
