Z3C backlight problem (dim display)

Hi guys so the screen suddenly went dim and brightness wont work, opened up the back and used some pressure on the digitizer flex connector as you can see in the video here.

Now i'm wondering who's at fault and don't know if ordering a new display will solve the issue.:confused:
What do you guys think?

CM12.1 Button backlight

I just installed CM12.1 and realized that the button backlight of my S4 Mini LTE turns on as soon as I touch the display. On stock rom this would only turn on if I touch one of these buttons. Is it possible to change this to default behavior which makes a lot more sense? I don't want to disable the backlight completly because then BLN mod doesn't work anymore.

Mi4 not going into Recovery, Fastboot seems to work, backlight on?

Hey guys,

I don't know whether you're able to help me.

I was a happy user of a Mi4, 16GB with latest CM13 nightlies installed and TWRP latest version working fine, too. After one of the latest updates of a CM13 nightly, my phone went into keylock and from there did not quite awake. It is in a strange state: The phone is working in principal, for example did I shoot some photos (by double clicking the on/off-button) which from there went up to my Google Photos account. Problem was: The screen stayed black, only the backlight did work. I tried to set up the phone newly, but couldn't manage to get into TWRP. Then I tried to start from scratch by installing a MIUI fastboot rom, still the phone did not awake. Now I followed this instruction:

Everything which is described under "Part 1" worked like a charm. Now the phone is hanging on the charger, the led is constantly yellow and the backlight is on, sometimes the vibration is going. I tried to boot into fastboot which is actually working (it appears on entering "fastboot devices" in windows cmd), but the screen doesn't show that fastboot image, still backlight is on.

As the phenomenon of working backlight with a dead screen seems to appear in CM13, in fastboot and with Fastboot Rom installed, what could be the reason for this!? Is the phone broken you think?

Second Pixel C with same issue - backlight stops working.

I am on my second Pixel C where the backlight has stopped working after a month. The screen still works, if I shine a light at it just right I can see the contents (especially when they are white), but the backlight just doesn't come on. The previous one did this on and off for about a week while waiting for the replacement, meaning it would occasionally come back on and work for a little while. But, right before the replacement arrived, it went off and never came back on. My replacement did it for the first time today (it is one month old now), I connected to my laptop when I got home and issued an "adb reboot", and it appears to be working again. I have requested a refund from Google, but they said they couldn't authorize it, so I have filed a dispute with my credit card company in order to get my money back.

Overall, I like the device. I have had to work around a few of its shortcomings, but everything was satisfactory. I just can't keep replacing something every month.

Has anyone else experienced this? I mean, I know how to search and have found similar reports, this exact issue. Where the screen still comes on and is visible under the right lighting conditions, but the backlight is just non-functional. If so, what was the recourse you took to solve it? I have tried not putting it in my case (thinking that was the problem), rebooting (which occasionally has worked, but not always), factory resets (real tough without being able to see), plugging it in when malfunctioning, leaving adaptive brightness disabled, cursing at it and throwing my hands up in the air in frustration, etc. Nothing reliably works, and now I am afraid to let it go to sleep seeing how it came back after the reboot today.

Thanks for reading this...

Phone only boots to the Google logo screen, and then goes black with the backlight on

I flashed the latest Resurrection Remix ROM, through TWRP before and after a wipe. The ROM installed fine, and then I clicked on open gapps to install it. The gapps were a bit old and so the log said that it's quitting installation since that version of gapps is not compatible with the ROM.

Then I wiped, and tried to reboot. I can only get to the google logo (with the unlock sign underneath) and after that my screen goes black and just blinks with different backlight intensities. The same happens when I try to access the bootloader/recovery : Google logo followed by black blinking screen.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks
