W580i LCD not operating

[Sunsilk09]

Hello, I took apart my mobile(W580i) in order to replace the housing as it had become damaged.

On putting it all back together again, the phone switches on and lights up (the side lights) but there is no life in the screen, can't do anything with it.

Any advice would be extremely welcome. Thank you in advance.

hello sunsilk, check your display connector which connects display with main pcb..

if you found any cracks in the display strip do change the display..

if u got WHITE screen after assembling,..probably you should change the display
've a try..

gud luck..

also check sliding switch(a small magnet in the top panel)..

Hello Samjim. Really appreciate your speedy response, have checked connections, not sure what you mean about the sliding switch magnet?. Thank you for your time.

Ya.it(magnet) act as a switch there....it is used to control(bright whil sliding up & viceversa) the backlight of u r display...

Hello again, and thanks for replying. Could you tell me exactly where this magnet is situated inside the phone please?

[samjim]

its located in the base part of the top panel..some will be in silver coated and some in black colour..
but this issue is rare..bcoz its fixed firmly..

Ok, thanks, will check again. I have actually got my phone to start up, I can ring it and call out with it, obviously doing it blind with the screen being blacked out. Bearing in mind that I can ring it etc, do you think if I bought a new screen that would fix it? Would value your opinion.

ya...probably u can get rid of it..but before tat do check u r display strip(70% of probs)before buying a new display..

[samjim]

strip s the most prob causing component in sliding mobiles...

gud lucksss..

hope dis helps..
