I have an old XL that is hardmodded. Everything worked fine, but when I turned it on today the bottm screen stayed dark. The touch part still works (can confirm by turning it off by pressing where the button would be).

What should I do to troubleshoot it?


edit: idk what happened half of my post was missing.

"Touch part" is a thin layer over the actual screen called the Digitizer , what you need is to check the bottom screen cables or if that don't work buy a new one for like £10 approx 12$-13$

I'm sure @TariqSoftDev was refering to you buy a "new one bottom screen".
As He said, check if both ribbons are well connected but it's probably a hardware failure.

What you're going to need can be found (for eg.) here:

The touch functions works, I don't need a digitizer.

Sigh... you're one of these... He actually explained that the touch function is apart of the screen, that is a layer over the actual screen NOT that you need one.

He recommended to check all the wires are ok with your screen or buy another one, sigh...

    designed for only specific hardware

    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically

    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
