1 iPhone 3G Odd Backlight Dilemma
Hello all, if anyone here can help me, I would appreciate it.
My back light went dim a few days ago because my chrome bezel was lifting up by the power button (fixed that issue) and I had to hold the screen down just to push the power button. As I was pushing the power button, my back light went out and would not turn back on. I thought maybe it was the LCD, but then I decided to take it apart and do some investigating hoping it was something simple. I found out that my backlight still works but only when I reconnect the digitizer cables with the logic board, once I try to set the digitizer back down onto the case the light goes dim and won't light back up when I touch the screen or home button. I really hope someone can help me understand what is causing this issue please. Thank you in advance.
Is this a good question?

Sounds like your Flex Cable #1, the LCD display Flex Cable #1 is lifting up as you close the iPhone. Sounds like you have issues in that top corner regarding closure due to previous loose bezel there. The Apple #1 sticker is a cushion that normally helps keep the #1 Flex down against the Logic Board. Maybe glue or tape some Foam or Plastic (Credit Card or thinner) to the top of the Apple sticker, to help keep the #1 down.
