The touch panel on my Pocket PC broke so I bought a new one on ebay for $20. After replacing it, I no longer get a video image (it still worked with the broken touch panel), the screen just stays white, but the computer is booting since I hear the windows startup sound after a few seconds.

I am having trouble getting the video ribbon cable connector attached properly but even if I hold it in myself I get no image whatsoever.

Could the motherboard or LCD screen be damaged? I hope not since the motherboard in it costs far more than even an expensive desktop motherboard.

By the way it's pretty crazy how things are packed close toghether on this motherboard which even has chips on both sides of it by many different manufacturers like intel, phillips, samsung, etc. It's also impressive to see how tiny the 400mhz cpu is and how it can survive with no heatsink or any cooling at all.
