Chosen Solution

Went through some of the questions previously asked for the same problem/device. I’ve replaced several parts over the years on my iPhones without trouble, but recently when I tried to do a screen replacement, when I turn the phone on, I can see that the LCD lights up, but I only get a black screen. I can also tell that the TouchID is working, as my phone buzzes to let me know that I need to input my passcode upon rebooting the phone. Since this is commonly asked, yes, I powered my phone down and disconnected my battery each time I went into my phone. I also brought the touchID, camera/speaker, and metal plate from my original screen over. I then went back to my original screen to see if maybe I had gotten a bad part, but my original screen is also only showing black. I’ll need to wait until I can get home to put the circuitry under a microscope, but in the meantime, any suggestions or ideas as to what may be causing the problem? Just to reiterate, the screen does turn on, it just displays black. Thanks.

Wound up purchasing a new screen with the ear piece and camera pre-installed and now it works again. Likely damaged something when transferring the ear piece and camera lens from broken screen to the newer one.

Hi there, Brian.. Three things to do.

  1. have you tried another screen, could be a bad screen?
  2. turn your device off, then get a flashlight and look if you can see the apple logo when turning it on, if you can barley see it the back light is gone, meaning you’ll need to solider. 3. The new screen do you have a black tape over by the red ring marked, if not and you see three “gold” stripes you might have shorted the phone. https://i.imgur.com/FT6vU9d.png

I’ve the same issue here. I put back the old screen and that works well. Swapped back the new one, and I see it’s flashing but no Apple logo or anything shows up. My best guess, the new display is just bad… Can I send it back and hope to get a good one as a replacement?
