good afternoon,
My xperia mini pro sk17a has a black screen.
Prior to this occurrence, I had a bad flex ribbon cable to the sliding keyboard. Screen would go black and come back with sliding keyboard motion. Opened the phone and found that the cable was torn. Decided to buy a replacement flex cable and installed it. Everything looked okay but...
Once I put the phone back together, no screen at all. If I turn the phone on, there is a very very faint amount of light present (you can only see this in the dark). The phone does boot, and the notification light will flash indicating new messages. I can call the phone and it will ring.
Hoping that this might be some sort of software reset, I tried flashing with the SUS software. No help, phone still behaves as described above. I'm guessing I need a new screen (maybe damaged it somehow taking the phone apart?), but has anyone gone through this and know of a solution other than more new hardware?
Thank you in advance for any help or feedback.
I think new flex cable is also damaged. You should check flex cable in another SK17.

So I cracked my LCD screen, bought a replacement, opened up the phone w/ little incident (man they really do cram a lot in there!) and I powered it on.....
the screen is just white, if I fiddle with the connection at where the LCD connects into what I believe is the digitizer I can kind of see a keypad button layout.
What do these symptoms describe and does anyone have a link to the service manual?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I had to replace the LCD on a wizard so here my experience... Make sure the two data ribbons are inserted securely. Also, before you power on, plug your hermes into your computer (assuming your computer is on and logged in as an admin) via USB (this sounds weird but I had to do this for some reason....) and then turn on the wizard.
If you still have a problem, you may have damaged something more than the screen.
Good luck.
Ok I will give plugging it in a shot.
Before you plugged it in what did it do when you powered it on?
anyone else have any input on what the issue could be?
It could be wrong LCD. There are two types of LCD for hermes/wizard with same connector but they are different. One is with gold flex cable, the other is with black flex cable. First one is most popular on wizards, the other on hermes. Check what was the color of your previous lcd flex cable and the new one.
Instructions
Can anyone post the instructions on how to take the lcd apart ?
I have gotten this far

Touch Dual digitizer
Hi Saliml2
Not convinced it is a software issue. My digitizer on T-Mobile Touch Plus did the same thing. It stated behaving erratically and then stopped responding altogether. I replaced the digitizer (via eBay) and it work for a few days and then stopped again.
I have read around the internet and have tried several ROM updates etc (currently running a WM 6.5.5 found in other area of this forum) but this has not solved the problem.
It seem to be an alignment issue - i.e. screen alignment is outside the screen area, but there seems to be no way of getting it back. Could be a fault on the phone mainboard (?) but there doesn't seem to be any info around apart from sending it to HTC for repair (not viable as the phone value negates this)
My phone is still not working, I might try opening it up again and reseating the digitizer cable but have done this twice already.
Have you try change the flex cable?
I had one to, with the same problem, and after changing the flex everything was ok...
Good luck!
Hi Amokh Just to clarify, what is the flex cable? The digitizer has a cable already attached to it that plugs in to a zif connector on the mainboard - I assume that this controls the data flow for the digitizer.
Any help would be appreciated.

Flex cable, i was mean the cable between the mainboard and the lcd block, you can see it in the previous link, picture 20. Have you try it to change?
hello guys how did you manage to put the digitizer cable in place mine doesn t seem to get in place do i need something to hold the connector in place???
hi, i replaced the digitizer on my hd2 (uk) and now after screwing it all together, it wont boot, when i plug in the charger, the red charging light lights up, but nothing else.
it worked before i changed it, do you think i broke something inside? or fitted it incorrectly?
i mean would it not start if it was fitted incorrectly?
its not dead if the charge light lights up right?
thanks
also have the same problem...please help
Did you plug the motherboard in? I recently had an issue with my mini usb (broke off the motherboard), took it a part and tried to solider it back on (with no success) put it all back together and it would not turn on. Thankfully I didn't put it completely back together and noticed I didn't connect the little ribbon cable to the motherboard. Also, in the process somehow now my digitizer doesn't work fubar!
just fitted a new screen to my dell streak , when i turn it on i get the dell logo screen then a black screen and when that fades and i touch any button all i get is a screen full of multi coloured pixels help me i need my dell
message reply
i forgot to mention i email the guy in china i bought it from and this was his reply, i hope some one can make sense of it.
Tks very much for your mail and understand.
In this case,you need not the worry,this is normal,you can put it in the cable jack wipe clean with a pencil,and then install your screen.
Because of you know,they have a lot of black jack cable thing.you can try to do so.is thisi ok?
Locking Ribbon Cable Connectors
Don't know that this is the answer to your problem, but when I replaced my screen it would not respond to touch. I found that there are connector locks on the digitizer ribbon connector and on the side button ribbon connector. Once I flipped these locks down on the ribbon cables the screen responded to touch. It's something to check at least. Look at this discussion, http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9382&highlight=replacement , and you will get a good set of directions and some excellent large pictures to help you. Good luck!
Hello,
Recently my phone dropped and half of my touch screen stopped working. I have disassembled my phone just to try if the old lcd will work when I plug the connector out and in again. I discovered that no so I have ordered the new LCD. During the reparation I accidentally broke coaxial cable between the antenna and motherboard so I ordered the new one. Now phone worked, but there was no phone signal but display and everything else worked just fine. I have disassembled the phone again when the new coaxial cable arrived but I have discovered, that I have bought bad one because it did not work. So I left the phone disassembled and wait for another one.
After I assembled the phone with the second coaxial cable my phone does not show nothing on the screen, even on the old LCD. When I connect phone to the pc I got instantly to the fastboot and I can get out of it. After fastboot reboot I get again to the fastboot.
Sometimes the LCD powers up but does not show nothing, and when the phone is in the charger the diode is red.
Does anybody have any idea how can I fix this problem?
I have tried to boot the phone without camera, speaker, antena, but nothing worked.
