Iphone 3g Backlight not working since dissassembly - BFF

Normally I re-disassemble them and then put them back together again very carefully. I find that reassembly does not always go quite as planned, so am used to just redoing the take apart. It almost always works.

Have you tried adjusting the brightness setting? The same thing happened to me (getting it wet) and when I plugged it in after reassembly the backlight wasn't working, but adjusting the brightness seemed to have jogged it into working again.

Choose your phone and have fun. Each guide also has links to the tools mentioned in the guide. If you do not have the tools, you can get them from this site. I have bought many tools here and have never been dissatisfied, so it's safe. : )
