hmmm, that may be a good alternative but, worried about that they may realize that i have already opened the phone and attempted to repair (reseat) the cables my self.

don't do that.

squeeze your phone at the space bar.
like press the spacebar with your thumbs,
and have your index fingers right below that
and squeeze it till you see your keyboard light turn back on
or untill you feel like you're about to break it.
It's worked for tons of people.

I guess that's about where the ribbon is that keeps popping out of place
and when you sqeeze it you pop the ribbon back together!

that doesn't work, i've already opened the phone and physically reseated the cables myself. it worked for while after i did that, but now nothing. reseated them again and still nothing.

i'm not sure what to do at this point.

I made a similar thread for the same issue. Came up empty. I got a Verizonized Spint Touch Pro.

I purchased one of those, since I was SOL, and it worked perfectly. Not to mention, got a brand new screen out of it without any scuffs.

Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be selling any at the moment, but if you can come across one on his thing, or even just email him, maybe he has some. It's basically the whole upper half of the phone.
