Screen no longer works - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

My wife dropped her s3 the other day and when I was trying to remove the glass to replace it I noticed that this one cable looks like it is no longer connected.

The screen does not turn on anymore but the led and touch buttons still work. Is this a cable that I am able to replace, or am I going to have to shell out for a new screen and digitizer unit.

Touch still unresponsive after digitizer replaced

About 2 weeks ago my touch function stopped responding. I was away from the night and it died shortly after and I did not have my charger. The next day once I got it charged up, I powered it on and was able to get a few minutes of working touch sense... then the touch died completely. I opened it up to make sure all of the cables were intact- Everything inside looked perfect except for the little latch that holds down on the digitizer cable was broken off, but that was already like that for a while and everything was still working.) After some fiddleing and no luck, I decided I probably just need to get a new digitizer--- It would be easy to disassemble because my lcd and digitizer were both oem from a drop in the potty a few minths back, which only affected the screen. So today the digitizer came in and I replaced it- NO LUCK! Every once in a while I get a tiny spark of scroll functionality or the bottom of the screen while in landscape mode becomes touchable for a few seconds, but otherwise dead.
Does anyone know what the problem could be since I have already replaced the digitizer???
Right now I am only able too hook up my internet sharing and etc. through MyMobiler.
Thanks

Screen not working?

So my screen hasn't been working for awhile (the backlight will light up but there is only black), but the phone still works; I can play music when I press where "play" should be on the lock screen, and etc. I've only recently decided to try and replace it.
I ordered a screen from eBay and it arrived today... here's where it gets interesting. After replacing my old LCD screen with the new one, the screen no longer lights up. I took it apart again and made sure I didn't miss any connections, but everything seems in the right place. Does this mean the problem is not the screen? Or maybe a faulty replacement screen? Any ideas?

[Q] LCD not working after screen replacement

I dropped and cracked my glass last week. Yesterday I had a guy replace the glass, and it worked fine afterwards for several hours. This morning when I woke up I find that the display won't turn on, though the touch buttons light up fine, and the glass is separated a little from the LCD. Actually, sometimes if I power off the phone for a few minutes then turn it back on, it the display will flash "SAMSUNG" for a second before going off as it boots.
So did the guy damage my LCD? Is it possible that it just has a loose connection or something?

Sounds like loose connection. I would go back to that guy and get him to fix it/take a look at it.

Display replacement.. Any bootloader protection??

Hi there guys,
I've just completed a complete display replacement for an HTC One X of a friend of mine. Disassembled the phone perfectly, the phone was powered on. Replaced the new display, connected the digitizer, powered on, voilĂ  the screen worked perfectly while disassembled. Before putting the whole phone back into the white housing, I powered off the phone.
Reassembled the white casing, the phone was just like new, not even a scratch on it! (took me 2 hours!!). Now the problem: when I turned it back on at the HTC logo, it disappeared, the display wouldn't turn on anymore. Phone connected to the wifi, downloaded a couple of emails, even received a phone call, but the display was turning on!!! LED was operating fine, audio and usb as well, and also the wifi/3g antennas.
Disassembled the phone again, connected the old (broken glass) screen, and it doesn't turn on as well, not even with the old one!
What you could have happened?? The new display is original HTC, I wonder if the bootloader has some sort of protection: before turning it off then on everything was working fine!
Any ideas???
Thanks

no bootloader protection maybe you broke the cable between the mainboard and display!

Can't be: that cable is hard connected to the display, so every display has its own one. Even the broken display, when taking apart the phone, worked fine, and I didn't even touch its cable after that.. It's weird that even the old display doesn't work anymore!
Any Solution yet?
Have the same Problem here with a One X. Before the Replacement ( took 2 hours carefully worked.. ), the Touchscreen didn't react on Touch at the Middle of the Screen, now I have Coloured Strips on the Right Side of the Screen from Top to Bottom until the half of the Screen.
On the left Side it is Black but to the Middle more Grey, then a Line from Top to Bottom in Yellow and then the Coloured Stripes.
Sorry for my bad English, i'm long out of School and feel sad about the lost of this Beautiful Phones. :crying:

Replaced digitizer now no screen

I dropped my optimus g pro and shattered the screen. I ordered a new digitizer online and replaced the glass today. When i power the phone on all i get is the home button cycling through its colours, the top left button when pressed makes a small vibration, when i plug the USB cable into my PC i get the LG-E980 icon but it doesn't contain any files or folders, nor can it see my sdcard.
I re did the repair, i put the old digitizer back on, re did the repair again but still am having no luck. Does anyone know what is happening? Is it salvageable or should i cut my losses and go out and buy a new device?
Russ.
Wait to be clear, even with your old screen back on, you get the same results?
