what if the new screen does not turn on or light up when you turn the phone on??? what part is causing that issue??
I’ve just wrapped up an abortive attempt to replace the screen on a friend’s G4 Play. It was aborted because the screen I bought off of ebay has only one digitizer connection on the upper left of the screen but my friend’s model has the two connections pictured in step 4 of this procedure. I can’t find an XT1601 screen on ebay or aliexpress or anywhere else that sports the twin connectors. What model of phone was this? Any clues on how to track this down?
@jrhooker that’s the button cable
good steps Michael + my name is Michael too
