No i re-soldered the screen, i do not have a spare ribbon at this point in time i may have to get one though by the sounds of it.

Have you checked for signs of water damage...obvious I know....but I have found this to be the case

damstupid · 03-04-2006, 10:11

I thank you for your time and will try again later, i have just come home from a 12 hour night shift and i think i am in danger of burning the house down so soldering iron is going away for now.
Thanks again.

Please anyone out there can you give me some ideas i have resoldered the screen and unplugged and re plugged the ribbon cable same problem no lcd backlight ....
is it possible there is a problem with the screen ?? or does the fact that the desplay works meen the screen is ok??

damstupid · 03-04-2006, 23:08

in answer to my question the screen workes fine after i removed the solder that was bridging the 2 connecting points i put too much solder on.

so for any othe damstupids out there if your backlight is not working after replacing a lcd check the point you have to solder and make sure both sides are attatched seperately .
Hope this helps,

thanks to simzmobiles for pointing me in the right direction.
