Phone with busted screen turns on right after turn...

Question

Hello everyone,
Thought i'd register to lay out a problem i have with my N95 phone. First of all, great phone, ive been using it for years and it still competes with everything out there for me. It did break down occasionally, but nothing i couldn't fix by cleaning the contacts or whatever, i always found a way to get it going again.
Last month somewhere i went for a run, but on my way there the derailleur of my bike (gear shifter thing) snapped off, my wheel locked up, i came tumbling off and i had to fish my beloved N95 out of my pocket in two bits, the screen and the main body. After carrying my bike home i ordered a new flex cable, a new screen and a new body for my N95, build it in with no problem at all (done it 3 times before) and popped in the battery to have a go. That's when it got interesting.
The phone turned on (giving the customary bleep), the keys lit up (although one keyboard led seemed to have broken) but the screen wouldn't turn on. Oh well i thought, let me just buy another screen since this one is obviously DOA. But with the second screen it still wouldn't work, and what are the odds of receiving two DOA parts from different stores? Not very likely. 
I started looking for cases similar to mine and i came across tons of topics, they all pointed in the same general direction, format the phone using either the 3 * green button method or calling to #7370# and so on. Would be fine solutions if my screen worked, but since it didn't i was in for a blast. I tried the 3 button method and it seemed to be doing something, but since i couldn't see anything it was a little tricky to tell, but anyway i just assumed it did something. I left for a few days (i'm not one for half measures) hooked to the power and just let it format, or i thought so because i couldn't actually see anything happening because the screen wouldn't come on. After seeing nothing change i just turned it off. But it wouldn't turn off, because immediately after it gave a bleep and turned back on again. When i try to shut it down it happens again, comes back on. Only way to kill the power is to take out the battery, but when i pop the battery back in the same thing happens, the phone turning on after turning it off. 
So to recap: phone busted, new flexcable, new screen and new body, after reassembling screen not working and after a seemingly botched attempt at formatting it won't turn off normally, instead it turns back on with the screen still not working. 
The obvious question here is: what is going on and what can i do to get it going again? Either by formatting the thing and hopefully fixing corrupt video drivers and get the screen going again or some other solution i haven't thought of yet. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, as i said i think its a fantastic phone. Now im using my old 1100 which is of course a poor substitute to an N95, even if its more functional in terms of being able to use it to hammer concrete nails into walls :-) And i know what your thinking: just drop it in the bin and buy a new one. But i'd rather fix it, i always try to fix broken appliances, phones and computers and it has probably saved me thousands of euros. So again: any help is greatly appreciated!
