i attempted to repair my digitizer and though it does come on, it is very dark

You need to do a hard reset. Hold down power and home button for 20 sec. Hope it helps.

You broke the backlight. Try to fix it, maybe you disconnected a connection.

Yea that worked I was freaking out also. Seems to happen if the iPad is on while you undo the cables.

Thank you so much, JohnKustic! You just saved me a lot of heartache, although I think I already had a nervous breakdown.
