HTC HD backlight fault after screen replacement

I replaced my HTC HD's lcd+touch+digitizer because i accidently crack my touch screen...
I found the set on e-bay as ''i594 Hot Genuine LCD screen for HTC Touch HD/T8282" for 53€ (app.77$) .
Dismounting the HD has not an easy job for me - cause I had no experience in such operations - but I need it. The screen responds to the touch and everything is normal but... NO BABKLIGHT!!!
I dismount the phone 2nd time, nothing...
I made a hard reset ,still nothing...
Was I a fool to buy from e-bay or I did something wrong? I used the service manual step by step...
If someone can help I 'll be pleased to listen...

I'd try the old cracked display to check and see if the backlight is working. If your old display is working, the new one is probably faulty.

Today I'll request a new set from this company -out of charge - and I hope that everything will - finally - work... Allthough I'll wait for at least another 20-25 days.

Do you have a link to the article you bought or the name of the seller? I bought a screen unit off of ebay as well (and the title of the article is almost identical) and mine was damaged as well. If it's the same seller, we might have a scam on our hands...
I demanded a replacement from the seller, but they said they couldn't send me one, because allegedly they sent all the units back to the original manufacturer to have them checked. Not sure if I can believe that though...
EDIT: My seller is "e2euro".

"My seller is "e2euro"."
... I'm afraid you are right...
Same scam... but no answer yet...
I'm but what should we do about it?

Sorry about my late answer - I was in Madrid for five days!
The seller does usually answer me within a day... I'm going to contact them once more to check on the current status of things - and if they don't offer a acceptable solution, I'm going to get my money back via paypal and complain on ebay! Not sure, if there is anything else we can do...

I've cracked my screen

Does anyone know anywhere in london, UK to get a new screen fitted.
I dropped my htc desire hd yesterday and its cracked the screen, there is no ink on the screen and everything is working fine still, so its just the first piece of glass thats broke.
so what exactly do i need to get fixed, i see alot of people mentioning ameled or something like that, do i need to get that replaced as well, or can i just buy the glass myself and fix it myself?
i've checked a few htc repair centres online and they all want between £60 - £90 to fix it, but im sure i can do it myself with the right equipment.

For anyone that knows about this kind of process what would be best for me to get? knowing i have never done a repair myself, im not stupid and can follow instructions well but just wondered would be better for me to get???

this is the full thing so i'll need to just get the phone apart and then install the part.
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370550551200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
which means i'll need to get deeper into the phone and remove things ect ect.
what do you think guys?

someone must know about this?
surely im not the only numpty to drop my phone

Get the one in the first link as changing the digitizer only is a REAL BALL ACHE. The replacement of the lcd and digitizer together as one part is pretty straight forward. Search "htc desire hd screen replacement" in YouTube and you'll find lots of tutorials. I suggest watching a few of them before any attempts. Good luck.

Cheers for the reply, but this morning i decided to pay to have it repaired rather than risk messing it all up myself, i found a htc repair centre that will fix it and return it for £44.99p
so im over the moon with that price, i thought i'd need to pay around the £80-£90.
so anyone else that has a cracked screen, i suggest calling these guys, their very helpful over the phone.
I cant review how good their service is as i have yet to send them the phone,
but so far, so good.

HELP: Some area part of the touch screen is just dead

Hi all, I have got a problem with my HOX. First of all it has the original rom and everything updated.
Now I begin, two days ago I was outside working out and it was raining so I put the phone in a bag. However my HOX got wet a bit but the phone has been wet like that before and nothing has happend. Anywayz, when I came home the phone worked fine.But after 4 houres some part of the screen wasn't responding. I tried to reboot and reinstall the phone but that dead touchscreen area was still there. So I contacted the company I bought the phone from and they told me to send the phone back to repair because I still have the garantie left. But I have no idea, can I fix this problem my self somehow and not need to send it for repair service? Has anyone had same problem too?
Because if they find out the phone got wet and it was my fault, then I would have to pay 60 dollars to get it back without repairing.

anyone?

They will probably find out as there are small parts on the inside of the phone that can show if a device has water damage or not. It sounds like a hardware defect but you can ofcourse try to flash a different rom, but I doubt that that will help

Don't void your warranty by flashing roms right now. Your best hope is to send the device for repair and hope that they don't find out about the water..
Sent from my ViperX

I have thought about send it back but if they find out it's from the water damage then as I said I would pay 60 dollars without having the phone repaird
And really flashing rom isn't good idea yet if I still have 5 monthes left on phone waranty

And I have found digiziter for htc one x on ebay for like 10 dollars, maybe I should buy that and try to replace the screen with a new one?

You can try, by the way I have e-mailed HTC this week, and unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery + Rom does NOT void your warranty: IF DONE CORRECTLY.
If people are interested I can copy the mail/pm of an official HTC employee to them.

Help with my M8

Hey guys!
On friday afternoon, i believe i killed my 3 month old baby. I got furious at something, and threw the phone onto my desk (I'm 190cm 6'3, desk is about 70cm above ground, you do the maths) and when i picked the phone up...
It looked fine.
I tried unlocking it, nothing would come up other than a black screen lighting up, but the sounds touch etc it works fine. Even the digitizer seems fine, odd enough.
So practically the inner LCD is dead, and unfortunately since i bought the device from US and went back to my homecountry, that screen replacement thing doesnt work out for me. Also unfortunately HTC is a complete asshat and for a reason no one knows, decided to not make any authorized services in the country, and i dont want to trust some dude downtown which can "fix my phone for 450tl" (thats a big deal of money where the minimum wage is 900tl per month) that doesnt even have a store but a stand.
Since then im using my old S3, which shared the same faith; furious throws ended up with inner lcd being cracked. Got it replaced from dealer, but ever since its 3G module does not work and oddly enough the guys there were like "your phone was rooted its out of warranty if anything relating mobo happens" before even accepting payment; 3 days later hte phone started acting up and 3G failed.
Anyway to the actual question, how hard are these screens to change? Also, any good sellers on fleabay? I talked with a few phone guys I know and they agreed to change it if i provide the screen, but honestly i dont know what to do, to sell this phone and get an iPhone (or a S5 because waterproof) or to somehow get this repaired? I'm fairly pissed off that i cant get a damn phone repaired which is also sold and imported into the country...
Also kinda unrelated but might anyone know why the 3G doesnt work? I've since then unrooted the phone and reverted back to stock rom but its still not working...

Maybe this will get you an idea: http://goo.gl/nBvaLz
Never done it myself tho with an m8. My DHD and OneX have been fully disassembled without problems tho to replace almost everything. [emoji41]

Look for disassembly videos online and order a new screen\digitizer assembly form ebay (dont attempt to separate the glass from the screen).
It takes patience and some steady hands, but it is possible to change the assembly.

The M8 has a repairability score of 2/10. I bent my back cover, and many cell repair shops refused to replace it.
You don't want to take this on by yourself. Check out the tear down at ifixit.com.

Just did the work on a M7, it should not be all that different. Though, I have not tried it myself on my M8.

Lol, you can leave it be and just buy a new one as well, yeah. The easy way....
imo 2/10 means it's repairable (my glass is half full). I would look for a cheap dead-mobo or a hard-bricked phone (with a working screen , that is)

As long as you cant use it, why not try?

And the next time a girl breaks up with you - don't take it out at you phone, just hit a pillow.

I'm going to make the hotspot stay open 24/7, because S3 doesnt have mobile network, and since I'm paying why not actually use it?
Also, odd enough one service quoted me 330TL while another said 450TL (both in far away cities) when one in my city asked 400TL...

broke capacitive button cable

Hey guys, my phone got slammed in a car door and I finally paid £130 and replaced the screen because it got damaged to the point of being unusable but in the process of replacing it I accidently broke the ribbon for the multitask button. I've tried searching for the part on eBay etc and can't find a replacement part, could someone link me please? If it's available. Thanks in advance

Dunno, not much parts for the OP3. Have you watched JerryRigEverything? He has a really nice disassembly video.

Confirmed, you DID f**k up.
There are NO official replacement parts available online because OnePlus does not sell them to third parties. Anything you may come across is not official - including that screen you got somewhere.
Even if you don't mind unofficial parts, it's really hard to get small single parts for devices with poor service support. Full screen assemblies are fairly common, pretty much anything else isn't.
BTW, screen replacement in official service center costs about as much as you paid for the screen. Didn't benefit at all doing it alone ...
Don't have many options now, go check aliexpress, dealextreme and similar sites if you find anything. If not, well, ... you'll have to shell out even more £££.
