SP5 White Screen, fall recovery * FIXED *

[Guest scriptor]

Hi, I have a i-mate SP5 which took a fall a few weeks ago, so the screen busted, and I ordered a new one, got it today installed and when I turn the phone ON the screen is white? Anyway I searched some forums and they said hard reset the phone, so I did. And when it reset I seen the "i-mate" logo for about 5 seconds, and it blurred out. The phone reset and the screen is still white, any ideas?

Sounds like you havent pushed the screen cable in properly...

Take it apart, make sure its pushed in ALL the way, and that you push the brown clip back down on it fully afterwards and try again :)

Fixed, yeah!

Thanks I reconnected the wires, plus I found out that my battery was a little lose and it would turn off from time to time so I put a little bit of paper on the end of the battery to hold it up, thanks for the response.
