Screen black but phone works

I haved the same probleme it's come because the connection between the mother board and the usb wire was baddly plug i have to maintain the connections and restart my phone (hold second the power button) if this solved the problem you can add a lot duct tap to make pressure between the connections and the duct tape. Bye sry for my english

I had the same problem when i replaced the screen, solution i bought another screen replacement and it worked properly once installed.

"go to ebay or amazon and order a new digitizer .....lcd...... and frame assembly ...... do not buy from china it takes too long to get !!! then go online to youtube and watch one of many cell phone break down videos on your particular device. It will take you step by step to switch out the assembly. If you are not familiar with cell phone repair then this will be the easiest way to fix. Make sure before you assemble you have to make sure you double check all conections ......screws...... wire lead runs....... and snap connects.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE GLASS ALONE IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH CELL PHONE REPAIR !!

It is way too easy to damage lcd ......warp the frame ...... and waste a lot of time and money !!"

"I have answer to this!

I have had this problem like 3 months now and i finally fixed it.

Basically what i did was that i bought a broken nexus 5 (only the screen glass was broken) and tried to swap every part one by one. The one that was not working was the main dock!

It is a cheap fix, like 10£ on Ebay.

I am writing this post because anyone else haven't.

I hope that someone sees this.

I now copy this message to all other threads so people can fix their nexus 5's :)

PS:as you can probably tell English isn't my first language."

"I had the exact same issue so what i did is blow it out. took a small knife. and scored the male and female parts of the connector put it back to gather and the screen seems to be working. mind you only did it 20 minutes ago so we will see what happens :-)

Hope this helps someone.

Also for you will notice decreased auto when talking on the phone. advise for that is to take the mic cover off. and use some type of cleaner. ""I used water which isn't the best"" and cleaned and the cover and the vent. fixed the auto issue so far we will see what happens with that as well"
