Hey guys I’m stumped on this one ! I shattered my screen on my iPhone and it was no biggie because I replaced like 12 of these screens in the past with no issues. this phone is being a pain in my a**, I replaced it and went to turn it on but noting showed up, so I connected it to iTunes and it recognized it and then I grabbed one of my customers 5s and tried the screen on it and it was 100% fine . I put the screen back on my phone and still no luck so I’m a bit stumped, any thing is helpful at this point.
@dobos1,Jerod , Try cleaning and check the connector on the board for bent/damaged/missing pins and use a magnifying glass to look at the board for loose /damage/missing components/capacitor/etc. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
Either the display is defective or you fried the backlight driver by connecting the display while the battery was not disconnected.
