hello. I tried to exchange the display. Everything away, clean display, everything plugged in and screwed. But when I tried to turn it on, nothing happens. No vibration, nothing. The display also shows nothing. I play with the battery in it hung in the charging cable to it. Normally, the power button light up the orange LED. But even then nothing happens. Did I forget anything? Or the play is scrap?

A few hours ago i was browsing the xda portal when i found a thread about someone booting win 95 on his HTC Himalaya.... so i found it a little bit interesting so i want to try it out myself..... just few minutes later i googled some info and find out that need to increase my screen resolution by nyditot virtual display software....then i just download the trial version of it and try it on my BA.....however, my device wont pass the tricolor bootscreen(first one that is) and it just freeze there.....so i tried to remove the battery and luckily my device boot normally afterwards...dammit that app...so i go to settings and remove that sh**ty app..after that, i power off my device and put it into the cradle to charge it..my ba lights up as it detect the charging...but i just saw a white screen instead of a display...it shocked me and the first thing that i do was to soft reset it...however, after soft reset,i tried to power off and power on my phone..then the same as before a white screen,,,i also tried setting the screen to blank by using core player options... the screen didn't went blank as if it was powered off...but it seems that i can still see the display like just the backlight is turned out...however touching the screen wont do anyting....i need help asap as i need to use my device to finish my assignments...well the only possible solution that i'm seeing right now is just a hard reset...but i dont want that..recently just got everything working on my BA(wi-fi, mms, psx games,etc that i dont want to lose)help me , please.....

Well, uninstalling nydiots might have messed some drivers up. Sorry to tell you this, but I think that your only option will be hard reset. BTW, I edited your post a bit... watch the language we have kids around the site, you know?
yeah, sorry bout that....i was really upset that time....but now i've found a solution....luckily i dont need to do a hard reset...i reinstall the application again(nothing much to lose...)and realised that in the application folder there was a shortcut named "vd restore"(what else should that mean...)used that and viola, everything was back to normal...then, later, i downloaded nyditot vd the latest version and it worked....just that it was too slow maybe because of the scaling...and titanium wont work...maybe it need it's own cpr....so i want to request anyone here who have it, vga titanium .cpr file please post it for me....will continue to explore what i can do with this application...and btw, thanks mr.egzthunder1 for replying....
Glad everything worked out
Hello XDA ..
My G2 LCD stopped working for no reason .. It started flickering and losing colors two days ago .. and yesterday it went completely black .. I did not drop the phone or damage it anyhow ..
I opened it up and checked all connections and it looked fine .. the LED and digitizer screen work fine as well as the capacitive buttons at the bottom so I figured it is not a connection problem ..
I had Cyanegon on it for like 5 months and never had an issue .. I recently installed Virtious Sense ROM and I have been switching between the two the past week ..
My question is ,, do you think it is a software problem for example the lcd driver got messed ..?? or is it just the lcd was broken somehow
I am intending to buy a new lcd and replace the one I have now but I thought I should make sure that the one I currently have is actually broken before I replace it ..
Thank you,,
Edu
PS: if you can think of an easy way to check the functionality of the LCD let me know ..
Its rather hard for a software (even if it is firmware) to cause problems to an LCD. If you can se the backlight turning on but the screen not showing anything, i suggest you start trying out some unbricking methods.
Now, if the screen doesnt turn on AT ALL, then its possibly a hardware fault. The only way to be sure is to have an extra lcd available to connect to it. You could also try and give your lcd to someone with a Desire Z to try out your lcd on his phone and see what happens.
The "easiest" way though is to get a new one.
is the ribbon cable connecting the screen to keyboard damaged?

the backlight does not turn on at all .. so I guess you are right it should be a hardware issue

same happened to my phone
I've been having a problem with my xperia play screen over the last few days. Some times when I press the power button or the home key the screen stays black.
Today though I've rarely been able to get my phone screen on
I've got to the point now that my screen won't even come on. Even after flashing my phone again with a new firmware. Then when I tried to turn on my play the LED flashed 3 times but RED :O
I'm now charging it but when charging, the LED is permanently red.
Is my Play dead or is it something simple like my battery dying?

I just skimmed your post but is this problem linked to this problem at the main sony site...
talk[DOT]sonymobile[DOT]com/message/259712
If it is it maybe a software glitch which harmed your phone/device...

Sorry I'm new to this XDA Forum
Hey its me, the same guy from the official sony post,
I tried flashing new firmware, but that didn't work. so i ended up relocking my bootloader and trying an official update service, but that didn't work. I had to send it off to the sony repair centre.
one week later I got my phone back: fully working. they reprogrammed the phone with stock .42 FW
so send it off to the repair centre!
one note though. i flashed official .62 fw and installed doomkernel, but the next morning the screen went off whenever i tried to open settings. after 3 times it didn't com on again. after leaving the phone alone for 20 mins the screen would turn on again (after rebooting) but i'm sending it off to the repair centre again.
too bad the phone isn't fixed, still...
-this problem ( black screen or delay to turn the screen on ) is happening on some custom roms , which rom do you use ?
- sometimes when you change the cpu governor it happens , for example when you set the "powersave" profile for screen off , or when you use interactivex on your CPU .
i'm sure that related to your rom , your phone is alive mate
or according to 3raserNL information
- another way is : just flash a ftf .54 , .62 ...
good luck

IMO, that is a flex cable fault (buttons, screen, front camera and als sensor are all linked to it, if I'm not mistaken).
you should bring it to the repair shop, but if you have no warranty, maybe you could try replacing the flex cable on your own

flex cable for sure...
Hey Guys , in the gym today , after i "throw" my phone to the table (it was like 1-2 cm) the screen wont turn on anymore , i hear how everything works (so the phone is on) , i opened it already because i think its to 100% the connector cable of the lcd , but the problem ist i dont know where its located , is there just 1 connector , and do i need to open the hole phone or just the backcover like i did ?
ok opened it now completely , it seems like the connector(s) arent loose or sth. any other advice ?
€: i played today with the phone a little bit , while it was booting , i tapped on the Display like 10-15 times , then the Display just was normal (i saw the Htc and then the ViperX Boot animation) then , after i was in the Phone , there were grafic bugs (everything was too big) and then after i pressed on Power button it was again broken .
Because of this i guess its to 99% a loose cable or sth. , i checked the 3 cables under the battery , but theyre all ok , anyone know other places to look at ?
