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...

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.
