I just replaced my cracked screen on my phone. Bought it from Ebay. When I put it back together I notice that in the middle of the screen it is unresponsive. When I try and type on it I cant get the middle of the keyboard to work. When I put the phone back to stock thinking it would calibrate the screen, it is the same result, when I try and choose a language it doesn't let me choose the English language. I thought maybe I forgot to plug a certain cable in but it is still doing this after I took apart and put back together the phone three times. The main areas that aren't working is the bottom part of the screen where the keyboard pops up and the top of the screen about a half inch down in the middle. My question is did I get a faulty screen replacement? Or is there a way of calibrating the screen itself?
Bad digitizer did you get a replacement for that too?

Yes, it came with the screen.
I'm guessing a digitizer issue only idea I have

Questions solved. You are probably right. The seller got back to me and he said he sent me the wrong part. He was supposed to send me the glass with the digitizer, brand new, and he sent me a used screen with digitizer and the frame around it. He said he will send the new screen ASAP. Thanks for your responses. Hopefully I wont have trouble with the new part.
No problem

Something must be loose inside. If you feel like taking it apart completely you could see. If you don't then see if you can get a warranty replacement (doubtful). Or you could try replacing the screen.
One sad day last week, a friend dropped his Galaxy and cracked the screen . When plugged in or powered on, the soft touch-keys at the bottom do light up and I can press them (they go dark as I press them, then light back up as they normally would).
I'm OK with paying $80 for a replacement screen/digitizer on ebay, as long as I know that will fix my phone. I'm worried that something else may be wrong internally?
Is there any way to check the functionality of the phone (perhaps through ADB?) or something I can do without having the screen turn on to prove that this phone will still work once I buy a new screen?
Thanks !
Very unlikely after a drop that's cracked the screen that there is more damage than just the screen.
It'll be alright... <---- famous last words lol
As long as it was just a gravity drop from a few feet.

You can only watch to see if something's broken. Replace the screen, and if there's another problem, you will notice. But i don't think there are other hardware problems, either.

Luckily, I found one on Kijiji with a broken charger port for $40. Only took a few minutes to strip it for the screen and fire up the old phone, no problem
Hi just dropped my xperia z from about 5 foot height onto pavement and the screen is not broken but it isnt responding to any touch.
Is there any chance it can be fixed without fitting a new screen?
That mean touch may be broken get to some hardware repairs shop

just asked the guy who fixes my phones he said bring it in and ill see, said it could be digitizer which if it is then im ****ed.
had enough of this, broke the screen 2 months ago and spent £150 fixing it and £20 for a broken sensor.
arghhhhh.
Flashed a new firmware on it whilst deleting everything on the phone through pc companion but still no luck.
Im confused here, the phone guy said the digitizer is built in with the screen but im checking on ebay and theyre selling a seperate digitizer.

So if the screen is ok and digitizer broken would installing a new one fix it?
Let me know please, confused and angry,
Apparently the screen and digitiser are glued together, making it extremely likely that one or the other will break when attempting to separate them.

Hi I'm trying to find a case that will protect my screen something like a thin plastic sheet my mate has such a cover for his iPhone 5.
Or is there a thick screen protector that someone can recommend?

Hey there.
I bought a broken HTC ONE S from someone on ebay.
The bottom lights light up but the screen remains black. It seems like it boots up properly as I pressed the home button and one of the volume buttons and heard a picture sound.
I saw online that it's recommended being booted into recovery mode using volume and power button but nothing.
Just though I'd ask before I buy a new screen assembly.
There is a crack that goes across the screen. I thought it might be broken but my experiences with broken LCD's are that when they break they sitll light up white...?
Only thing I can think of is water damage maybe shorted out the LCD. I'm unfamiliar with the One S so Idk where the water sensor strip would be..

So would it be worth grabbing a new screen assembly? or is the actual motherboard damaged. Thanks

Thats the chance you take ...did the ebay seller tell you the screen was broken ? if not, return it to them and cut your losses now
Hello,
This morning, my phone worked perfectly, and i see some dust inside of the screen, so i opened my phone to clean this, i've cleaned the touch screen from inside, and when i reassemble my phone, all work fine just the touch screen don't work, i've retried the same operation, verified all but not working
I want to know the reason of thin, shouldn't I clean the touchscreen from inside (I have used a cleaner...)
And which site is trusted to sale this at best prices
Thanks
I'm no expert, but if the touchscreen worked before taking it apart and doesn't afterwards that probably means you broke it during the taking apart. You probably forgot to connect something back up or accidentally pulled off a connector. Not sure what you could do about it beyond having another look or taking it to a repair shop to see what they say.
Disassemble the phone again and see if you connect connector of touch screen, it is on the top of the board after you remove plastic cover.
