Yeah. In a last ditch effort, I did reflow the SOC. Figured I didn’t have much to lose at this point. Everything went ok, but no change. Same. Exact. Symptoms.
Ah well, I think I’ve taken this as far as my limited troubleshooting skills can. Thankfully I got the thing for dirt cheap and it came with a nice screen, so not a total loss. Sigh
As always, thanks a blast for your suggestions. On how getting the LCD ribbon cable back in. It’s been smooth sailing since I’ve implemented some of your tips.
