My friend accidentally carried my blackberry tour 9630 in his pocket a few days ago while he was doing yardwork. When I got it back it was full of grit and dirt. The speaker sounded terrible and the trackball wasn't functioning properly so I decided to disassemble it and clean it.

I had a little trouble disassembling because I forgot to take out the SD card and thus couldn't remove the back plate. I went ahead and removed the front plate and cleaned the speaker and trackball with a can of compressed air. I put the phone back together and tried to power it up. It booted, but the screen remained black. I tried calling the phone and it worked and I was able to hear and speak on it, just no screen.

I've done several battery pulls and taken the phone apart and put it back together, but no luck. I'm sure this hardware issue because the screen was fine before I took the phone apart. I'm hoping that there's just a connector I loosened. I didn't apply any excessive force, so I don't know how I could have done serious damage.

Any help would be much appreciated.
