Wanted damaged screen devices

Scooby, I had the backlight on my iphone (3gs 32gig) go really dim a couple of weeks ago and found a website that gave instructions for fixing it. I followed the (foolishly) instructions up to the bit where you detach the contacts numbered 1,2 & 3 and checked they were clean and dry. That is as far as I went before putting it all back together, this process was surprisingly simple.

 

Alas I now have nothing on the screen at all.

 

If you think that you could fix it for me then I'd be really appreciative, obviously subject to cost.

 

I also have a laptop with a knackered screen, I'd like all the stuff on the hard-drive transferred or even have the HD mountedas an external drive if anyone can do that at a reasonable cost?

Ok seems like the LCD is down, re check the connections, ensure the press on connector "it will click" is in place and the clamp is up prior to slotting the ribbon back in, then slide the clamp down, the LCD is not that expensive

NOT sure on the numbering you quoted

The LCD's are very fragile

This is the site I used:

http://www.rapidrepair.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=cp-iphone-3g-s-repair with more pics.

 

This is the 'walk-through' site's pic of the 2 numbered connectors. Number 3 is under the bit with '916' stamped on it.

Re the highlighed bit above, is there definitely a 'clamp'? I ask as when I took it apart that ribbon bit came out quite easily but was finicky getting it back in. I pulled mine backwards to detach it and pushed it back in the same way. It was quite fiddly actually, maybe that's the problem now, not connected at all!

 

I'm gonna have another peek in a mo but look forward to your cooments Scooby.

Hamster the one with 916 is a push fit, it is tricky if you have sausage fingers.

Try and match it up prior to pushing it together

If after you have re tried all the connectors , it could well be LCD thats failed or the proximity switch

Also switch the phone off and remove the SIM prior to any work

 

This link is a good one also

Scoobs, would you be willing to have a look for me please? I'm well out of my depth mate. I can post securely and you can then estimate the cost to fix it properly.

 

I'd be grateful.
