My friend gave me a really old Metro PCS ZTE Phone with a destroyed glass screen. Surprisingly, the phone still powers on and I was able to fully charge the battery. I removed the broken glass screen - but now I'm wondering how I can still use the touch functionality on the actual LCD screen (as opposed to touching the glass like a normal cell phone).
I can't seem to press the Start
button to get the phone going. Is this even possible? Should I disconnect that little ribbon that attaches the glass to the circuit board (enabling touch) so I can just touch the LCD screen? I'm hoping to get the phone in a mode where I can install the drivers (which are on the phone) and extract data from it.
Any suggestions?
I've attached a photo below of what I've done:
Thanks for the reply. Exactly what I need to get this phone working so I can get the data from it. – steve02a – 2014-10-19T03:10:39.110
