Treo 650 (Verizon) Screen Ribbon Question/Problems

[Darsen]

My friend just replaced his screen on his Treo 650 with a new one (both Verizon version phones) and while he was putting the phone back together he noticed that he ribbon cable for the screen of his phone was bigger than the ribbon on the screen he was replacing it with (if that makes any sense). The difference in size was signifcant.

Does anyone know if there are different versions of the screens? Are there different generations? The replacement screen's ribbon is much slimmer.

When he puts it all back together, the new screen does not power on. He takes it all apart, puts his old (cracked) screen in and it lights up fine.

He says the ribbons seem to be different. Anyone have any experience with this? Did he get the wrong screen (they were both Verizon Treo 650s)? Any advice for him? Let me know.
