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.

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!
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!!
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.
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
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.
