Hi guys, this is my first post, hope its in the right place!

Over the weekend, (i think) my phone got dropped. When i went to use it the next morning, it was turned off. I turned it on, and the usual white screen came on for a sec, then the screen goes blank for a sec, comes back on white along with the keypad lights and vibrates for a sec at the same time. As far as i rememeber this is normal, but after that the screen just stays white. i can get the walkman function to work by guessing the buttons to press, so i am assuming i need to replace the lcd?

any help appreciated

Might not be an actual fault/damage to the screen, if you are confidentas you say then take it appart, this guide may help....

and see if the screen connector has become detached in some way, try unplugging it and refitting it.

thanks mate. sofar have only managed to get the back cover off, i dont have a small enough torx bit to get the front cover screws off. looks like ill just have to order a screen and screwdriver off ebay, can always keep the screen as a spare if it is just a disloged connector. unless anybody has any other ideas lol
