I opened it up to discover a blown capacitor, so i bought some new cap's and soldered it in. Well now, i plug it in and the unit gets power but the screen shows absolutely nothing, no lighting, nothing! I know the touchscreen part still works though.....any ideas?
Well, you haven't provided a lot of information for anyone to go on. A model number would help tremendously. Also, the wall wart that you have, what do the numbers say on it for voltage and amperage.
How do you know that you didn't burn out other components besides that one cap. What about a fuse, it might have one. If a cap burnt up, most likely other things burned as well.
The touchscreen is a USB device and most likely gets power from the US Bus, and has nothing to do with the LCD and LCD controller,so it will work even if the screen is fried.
