If the LCD connector is seemingly okay and the quickest method is to replace the EMI Filter IC which has a product code value of EMIF07-LCD02F3 . In this IC where the four data signals feeds across from the Application processor through the LCD screen circuit.

But after replacing it  and nothing happens and the problem remains, here's a simple hints for beginners on LCD repair  procedures, this one can be applied in any mobile phone repairs, and this one can save time, rather than rushing through.
