I opened my phone to put in a new joystick. Did it successfully, but now my LCD screen keeps getting fuzzy with horizontal faint and fast moving lines? It's like it's getting severe static interference, only there is no interference.

Have i damaged it? There any way to fix it?

Has the screen connector been put back in correctly? If it's not seated properly is may be causing your problems.

Also, check all of the data ribbon and it's surround round the screen, if it's damaged in any way - torn, ripped, etc. then the whole screen may need replacing!

... the connector's on properly- I think i'm definately gonna have to replace it with one from cnn.cn (it's like gonna b the 4th item ive bought from them in 2 weeks!). I had a problem with my PCB and had to get that replaced. Then i had to buy a new MSPD cover from cnn.cn cuz the old one was cheap and broke.

Now i gotta get an LCD- im getting never ending problems wit this fone (costing me loadz)!

adjust the flexcable that goes from the circuit board to the lcd.
You will have to move jiggle it left-right on the connector side and see when the display come to normal
