I recently recieved a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 from a trusted E-Bay seller. When I recieved the phone it worked perfectly, but the digitizer screen was cracked up. I found the T-Mobile model digitizer online and replaced it. Now the phone is DEAD. I have checked and rechecked EVERY ribbon cable and connection I can find and have insured all is attached properly. Battery has a full charge and works (tested it on my Dash 3g as they use the same battery). I even tried plugging it in and turning it on with.without the battery in and still nothing! Am I sunk?
I am hoping someone may have the answer... maybe I am overlooking something like a bone head? I really would appreciate any and all input. Thanks.
ight dude, been here with an iphone. first, do your self a favor and disconnect the new TS and replace the old one. did it work?
if yes, you have a problem, and it can be isolated to the new TS. if no, yu just did something wrong OR you shocked the mobo. Try not ot to do that.
Most likely though, it is a reassembly issue. I remember hwen i did this to my tilt, there was hell to pay and i thought i broke it. not so much. Just had a switch constantly being pressed in that shouldn't have been and didn't allow the device to POST.
Also, if you cna, how did you replace the TS part? i am about to do that to a Tilt2 and a touch pro 2 (same phone)

So all last saturday i was wondering why everytime i pulled my phone out of my pocket it was powered off. I found out that if i slid the keyboard in or out fast, the device would just power off. After further investigation even if i bump the device on the bottom it would also turn off.
I thought it was a weird glitch with some app i've installed but did a task29, reflashed the rom and it still did it.
I reflashed the ship rom as well as stock spl and went to an Att device support center, the guy looked over it and told me they don't have any tilt2s at the support center but would mail one out to me. So getting a refurbished device under warranty but has anyone experienced this?
I think its the ribbon cable probably came loose on the main board. But since its under warranty, easier to just swap it out then open it up and investigate.
A friend of mine had a Tilt 2 doing that, only it would simply reboot instead of shutting off. He sent it in for warranty replacement because of that and another problem.
Did you try putting a piece of paper between the backcover and the batterie? I had to do this with some old phones of mine were the batterie had a little bit space.

i remember doing that with i think the wizard which yes i did try and still same issue :/
oh well, its time for a new device anyway... i think i'm gonna get the dell streak, been meaning to jump over to android for a while now because nothing really excites me about WM7. Hopefully after 6 months after its launch it will be nicely updated and not so "locked down".
But for the ribbon cable that connects the top half and bottom half of the board, it has caused me issues before on previous devices. First on the wizard (Cingular 8125 but i bought it overseas as the i-mate k-jam). The cable got severed and killed the earpiece so i couldn't hear people during calls, but speaker phone worked. Had to buy a damaged one off ebay and swap the ribbon cable.
Then for the hermes (i had the i-mate jasjam but in the US it was sold as the ATT 8525) again had issues with the ribbon cable that the screen would just loose power.
Then again i've had the Raphael (att fuze) with no issues and the kaiser ( att tilt) with no problems as well, and i've had them for much longer than the tilt2. Oh well, luck of the draw i guess.
Its gonna be hard leaving HTC but no good att 3g gsm android devices out, i know there is the captivate but i want the front cam cuz my gf has the evo and we could probably video chat via Qik
Hi, I just bought a replacement digitizer from ebay, I first have to say that this will be my first replacement, so maybe I missed a step. So after I replaced screen, I connected the 3 connectors like they should, I screwed the one screw on the top right, and screwed the 6 t-4 screw. I turned on the phone, and it seems like it wont register touch. It also seems that its more responsive to touch when plugged to the wall. I was able to get to the calibrate touch screen, I was finished with that and still no response. So now my question is...
A) Did i miss a step?
B) Is this something common and can be fixed with settings?
C) Does this sound like a bad digitizer?
I emailed the company that sold me this digitizer, and they will exchange my digitizer. But before I ship it back I would like to know if it was me who is doing something wrong, or if its the digitizer.
ps. Not sure if I can post the link to the ebay item...
About two months ago, my screen decided to die. I ended up getting a new phone, but I still had my Play sitting here bothering me. So I decided to get to fixing it.
When I tore it apart, I thought that the digitizer had died, but what I found was actually the connecting the digitiser, LCD and Buttons together was damaged.
So I ordered one on ebay for about $10. When I got the cable, it seemed to be about 3-4CM shorter than the OEM one. Which supports why I think this may have been a design error on Sony's part. What was happening was Sony's god awful mechanism for sliding the screen up and down had pinched the cable, and caused it to be damaged.
I know this might be a longshot, but I think that some people might be able to save a dead device by replacing this one simple part, I know it worked wonders for my play, as well as a friends.
I will post a link to the part as soon as my post count is up.
So not the digitalizer?

I am having this problem as well. touchscreen doesn't work nor does the home button. Volume down button seems to fail while in CWM recovery as well. I was thinking about replacing the digitizer but now I'm not so sure. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated
If OP's saying what's busted is the part where all the digitizer, physical buttons, and LCD converge, that's the SLIDER FLEX. I replaced mine twice already. It gets pinched very easily. That's the weakness of slider phones. You have to accept that from the moment you decided to buy the Xperia PLAY. It happens to all sliders, live with it, face it.
This is my problem:
In may, I bought a Xperia Play on second-hand web from a guy on my city. In time, the phone got wet by rain, and digitizer started to go sometimes crazy, specially texting. I could survive with it.
After 2 months, the Ribbon Flex crashed, it showed screen completely screwed up, like in TV, you know, that problem that happen to everyone after sometime . So I changed it.
The point its, when i changed it, my old Digitizer stopped working ok, it gave too much problems. For 2 minutes it worked normally, except the base of the screen (that zone of the screen didnt detect my fingers, dont know why). Then, it wouldnt work totally, till, in some moments I took the phone, it would work for only minutes. I controlled the phone with the pad, but when it went out of battery by accident, I wasnt able to unlock again, as I couldnt touch and unlock the Pin code so I can use the phone again with the pad.
So I buyed a new one, which of course, I dont know why it doesnt work too (this replacement comes from a trusted dealer from my uncle electronics shop, so for the moment, I dont think the new digitizer itself its the problem).
What the hell Im supossed to do man? Im starting to go panic, because I dont know if the Motherboard have something to do with all this, and that means Phone dead right? Ive seem a lot of posts, all I could google with the same problem, and there is a lot of different cases and solutions with the damned Xperia Play, all starting with the damn unresponsive digitizer.
I saw the guide above amd i already posted there, but I wanted to leave a thread. Please, I need your help if its posible. Thank you at least for reading this.
Try replacing your flex cable again. Something like this happened to be, but the digitizer was completely unresponsive. After I replaced it, it works fine.
I have a LG K20 plus but saw no forum for that phone and the LG K10 is the closest I see listed. I hope it's ok to post here...
I cracked the screen on my LG K20 plus. In the process of fixing it, I lost the speaker and scratched up the bezel trying to get out a stripped screw. So, after some research here and verifying it was ok, I bought the same phone to do a mobo swap. The only difference was it had a bad esn which made it cheaper but since I was using my mobo, it didn't matter, right?
I received the phone and turned it on. Everything worked fine but, of course, it was locked due to bad esn. I took out the mobo and put my original mobo in and turned it on. It looked perfect but it didn't respond to any touches. I couldn't swipe to unlock it or put in my passcode.
I switched the mobos back to their original phones and touch abiliry (digitizer?) worked on both. I switched mobos again, and again no touch was recognized. For now I'm using my phone with a mouse just to verify everything else is working, and it is. Can someone please help me to figure out what happened and why the working digitizer fails after mobo swap?
Thank you to anybody who can help me. I'm stuck without any guidance
