Help Replace cracked screen, now screen just glows?

[hominid4]

Hi. My HTC Inspire had a cracked screen so I bought a digitizer replacement, and the disassemble/install/reassemble seemed to go ok. But after doing so I turn on the phone, it makes the little vibrate as it starts and then the screen comes on but as a low glow and doesn't go past that. Don't know if the phone is booting all the way or not, just see the glowing screen.

Did I screw something up or is there something I can do to get past that?

I've done a soft boot, the battery was removed for an hour while I was replacing the screen, the SIM card is firmly set, etc.

Thanks for any help!

Well, the phone was sitting here "on" (still only with light glow) and I heard text messages coming over and the little green light is now flashing so the phone is up and running apparently, the screen just isn't showing. But it's has the light glow, is it possible the new screen isn't all the way set in place even though it has the "glow"?

Thanks!

Im guessing you probably missed a connection. Sounds like the phone is working just without the screen properly connected.
