Hi,my old LCD screen on my w800i broke so i bought a new one.I dismantled the phone and connected the new screen up and closed the phone again....When i turn on the phone,it is just a blank white screen,i tried the firmware upgrade on the phone but still doesn't help.All the buttons/functions work but i just cannot see where im going! Can anyone please help me on this? I would be very grateful, Thank you

sounds like it's either a problem with the connector on the phone, or a software problem that can't be fixed with an update.
The other option is that the screen you've got is faulty - any sign of any damage on the screen's connector, or anywhere on the green ribbon that goes from the connector or round the joystick?

no i dont see anything as of yet.But i noticed with the old lcd screen-the ribbon is green but with the new lcd screen the ribbon is a gold colour.What do you suggest i do?
All the connections on the back of the new(gold) ribbon are in completely different places to the old one.it lights up but just a white blank screen

yes that was my first impression when i saw it as the ribbon was a totally different colour,it goes into the lcd connection alright but the rest of the connections at the back of the gold ribbon are completely different to the original one.

the other option is that it's a non-genuine screen, probably from some random manufacturer in China or the Far East, and isn't compatible with the W800i or is just faulty, where did you get the screen from?
