n95 black screen only when slider is closed
 

hi all,
i have n95 4 monthes old, never fell, dry and all.
a few days ago i've noticed that when the slider is closed [normal position] the screen is black, i can get a call and it's vibreting and flashing but i can't see the number... if the slider is open to one of the sides it's ok, but if i close it again the screen hangs for a few seconds and than going black again...

i did a firmware upgrade and nothing... same same.

any help would be appreciated.

sir try to change the ribbon (flex)...........

Flex is Faulty Mate, Change it.

thx, codni and xerraco,

is that part comes as a set with the screen? or can i buy and replace just the flex...?

thx again :)

the flex cable comes with upper keypad , you should change this flex to solve your problem

check fc..its insulation damage..cover it to inulation tape

any creative ideas how to open the 4 screws of the front panel after i tried to open them and successfully ruined all 4 them...?

I did that... put insulation tape from both sides and paper between them... nothing helped. anyway, now that i'v got the new flex- i cant open the front panel... i've rounded all 4 screws. good for me...:rolleyes:

ok, 2 of them are opend... the other 2 are a mess... anyone know the size of the drill i need?
thx...
