The LCD backlight is on, the led flashes red green white in the beginning and nothing.  Screen goes to sleep, if I press power the backlight comes on but the screen is black.  Cannot go into recovery mode.  Flashed other OS in  SD same problem. Flashed fedora , lcd backlight does not even come up, after 30 sec led light next to camera  switches on .Strange issue , any idea? Thanks.

Experiencing the same issues as well, was able to boot out of the box and use the OS for about an hour, experienced some screen flickering after enabling the auto brightness feature and the screen went dark. Have not been able to get anything displayed on the screen since, but it does show that the backlight is coming on. I have attempted to boot from SD, boot from jumpdrive, flash a new UBPorts (current version and an older version), Postmarket OS, and PureOS...none will allow the screen to show anything other than the dark backlight. The front LEDs will light up, I am able to telnet to the device using the jumpdrive, the phone will vibrate on boot (Postmarket OS), and the battery has been fully charged. Any advice or ideas would be great...
