I had the same problem, so I found this forum and saw that it wasn't just me...my warranty was also up. I chatted with dell, they gave me the "its out of warranty, buy a new one" crap, so I said screw it and I threw it in my drawer until I remembered it today...

So I open the axim and find it to be very dusty...i blow the dust off and I see this one golden cable is loose...so I put it back and place and TADA...it worked!

check out my flickr page for a picture [with notes]. thank you people for helping me figure this out so i can help you fix yours! [did that make any sense? ]

In the photo it shows that ribbon being held down by a nice brown clip. Well, while doing a screen replacement on this X3 i just bouoght, i broke the little piece of plastic that it hinges on, on the bottom. Does ANYONE know if that lock has to be down for the screen to work? I'm trying to figure out whether the new screen i bought is defective, or if because the lock is broken the cable isn't touching the contact points, or if the pda is just toast.

if you know the answer to any of these questions, please post ASAP, or email me at evilevilwayz@aol.com. I'm mid transplant and out of ideas.
