My Rarz V3 crashed suddenly and I am not able to bring it back to life. After starting up phone the keypad lights on but display is black. I can hear welcome sound but that's it. When I try to get into bootloader mode "*" +"#" + "PWR" display turns on with black sreen. I can connect phone to computer with P2K tools, RSD and MultiFlashFlex and I can load up various Monsterpacks and bootloaders into the phone but anything helps to bring the phone to the life. At this moment I have in phone bootloader 07.D0 (as I can see from RSD) but bootloader screen does not show nothing else then black screen. When I tried to flash phone with bootloader 08.23 I got then white bootloader screen but in normal mode phone did not work at all (after PWR push keypad lights just cca for 1 second and phone turns off). I returned back (downgraded) bootloader 07.D0.
Any idea what to do with it?

It could well be a loose flex cable.
Try pinching the bottom left of the screen when starting the phone - if that works it is definitely the cable.
To fix it remove the cover and reseat the cable

Pinching you mean to press left bottom of display with fingers or wag joint of display and body?
One thing more: After standard starting up the welcome sound I can hear (display is dark) but I can not enter pin code for SIM card so it does not look like phone is normally working.

I tried to hold left bottom of display and start up the phone but nothing happened. Still black screen in normal start up mode and black light screen in bootloader mode start up.

With bootloader 7.D0 sometimes you have an all black screen in bootloader.
However if you are hearing the phone starting then the problem must be with the display hardware - the flex cable is still the most likely cause

I am not sure if I did it well. I pressed left bottom corner of display and tried to start up. Shall I dissmantle cover of display?
