Replaced digitizer and screen (screen was cracked, but responded to touch OK)... The screen doesn't turn on. Bottom buttons turn on. I thought I kinked the LCD screen ribbon so I bought a LCD/digitizer/screen combo. Same problem after installing that. What am I doing wrong? Everything is hooked up properly... Not sure what gives here help!
Did u figure out the problem?

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?
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.
HI Guys,
I recently replaced the digitizer on my wfs and everything went well, i have calibrated the screen and the touch is working perfect however the home search etc buttons at the bottom don't work, they light up but do not respond.
What did i do wrong? all wires are connected and as i said they light up!
thanks!

Just a whim here, but maybe it could be that the digitizers buttons don't work. It might be broken out of factory, where did you get it? Maybe you can ask for a replacement as the digitizer is most probably broken.
it was just a cheap one from china, so im sure i can get a replacement if i ask.
I wasn't sure if the buttons are actually part of the touch screen itself or if the need to have contact to something else..
Thanks
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.
Hi There,
I bought a Spring LG G2 LS980 on ebay with an non-working backlight with cracked screen. At the moment, I thought that the screen was broken beyond the LCD and that replacing the Screen, LCD and Backlight it would work. So I bought a new screen and replaced it like any other G2, but now the phone turns on and sounds tell me the phone is working and responding to my touch, but I can't see anything! The status LED is my only indication if the phone is off, booting, on or charging. Is this a software issue or am I gonna have to replace more chips? Thanks,
Sincerely,
Sohaib
EDIT: So i did some testing around, and it seems like the flex assembly with the power buttons gets super hot when the phone is supposed to be on. When I press on the lower right contact between the screen and the assembly, the backlight flashes for a moment, so it looks like the connector is damaged. It is a hardware issue. Thanks,
