I've had to stop using the physical keyboard on my droid 2 because when it is slid open the screen shuts off. It used to work if i didn't open it all the way, but then it would only work if it were completely shut.
Today after getting to work the screen would not turn on at all. This has happened before but after a battery pull (or waiting a really long time) it would come back on so long as I kept it closed. The battery pull did not work. I had to keep sliding my phone back and forth and then it flickered on. Now it works ONLY with the screen 1/4 of the way slid opened.Obviously this makes it extremely awkward to use. EDIT: It now stopped working again. I don't know how much longer I can fiddle with it to get it working.
I was wondering what possible options I have and the cost to try to fix this or if its even possible. I assumed its a hardware issue, because the phone still works great, it just won't display whats happening. I.e. I can still swipe to unlock my phone, and the menu buttons vibrate and light up when I touch them. The prior month I have just became used to swype keyboard in portrait view. I can live with that till my upgrade.
I read briefly about a ribbon cable thing being the problem. I don't know anything about phones/computers. I assume it's loose/damaged.
Just wanting some feedback/advice
Thanks!
