Lilliput with permanent white screen of death

**Pale Rider** · 10-03-2005, 11:38 PM

It is a 7" lilliput. Probably a year old or so.

I will try what studmonkey recommended.

But who knows, I very well could of shorted it. I was moving it around a lot while it was on trying to find that perfect "sweet spot". Unfortuantly it just stopped workign at all. I know the cable is very sensitive, because It was when I had it working using the tooth pick trick. But now it is just non responsive, since I can move it all around any which way and in any direction.. and still only get a white screen.. i wouldnt be suprised if I fux0r'd something up.

Thanks for all the comments so far

much appreciated

Alright so I tried what was recommended above and still nothing. Im pretty sure I might of messed up something.

So my question(s):

If I did indeed bust a trace or something by moving the ribbon cable around while the LCD was powered on, is there anything I can look for or do to fix it?

If there isn't anything I can do, can I sell my lilli for parts or is it pretty much just trash?

Are the new lilli's sold on the mp3car.com store better than the old ones (the one I have now is over 1.5 years old?)

Thanks

you can sell it for parts, only problem is you can't confirm which is bad, the lcd or the controller or posibally even both?.....I'd gamble its only the lcd, but theres no way to tell without having another of these to test each part... the touchscreen is probably fine at least....

haha no the right side of the TS went out about 5 or 6 months ago.

SO basically this pos isn't worth squat, but that is really what I figured

How about those new Lillis @ the mp3car.com store? Are they better than the old generation?

I don't know if the new ones are "better"

I know i'm coming into this late, but what has happened is you have fried the small square PCB on the back of the LCD, if you put the ribbon cable in at any sort of a angle you run the risk of frying it. Those controller PCB's are replaceable and if you can find someone with a busted screen you can swap them.

But if your looking to get rid of anything, I can use it for the backlight upgrade project.
