iPhone 5 Black screen after screen replacement

iPhone 5 Black screen after screen replacement

I replaced a iPhone 5 screen for a customer the other day. It worked fine when it was picked up, but a day later they returned it with a black screen. The phone seems to start up when plugged in to charge and vibrates when muted/unmuted, but the screen stays black. Whats puzzling is that it doesn't seems to start when I only use the power button. I can turn it off by holding power button and slide the bar, so the touch seems to work.

"Hi

Happened to me the same problem, what I did was to inspect well near the connectors and set me well that a connector had broken and what I did was I made a bridge with a silver writer. and it worked but I had to connect a new screen for it to work and then place the iphone screen.

And iphone is working properly

never use it direct the writer, put some on a sheet with something that has the fine point you can do it without touching other connectors or you can make a short circuit."

I have an IPhone and it is cracked up but I am going to buy a Screen-replacement & a LCD but,with all that being said when I get all of that will my same information that I had on my phone still be there?

"if the screen is not working, then check the cables that connect the screen to the phone. Is one of them broken or not on the circuit? your screen could be permanently broken. Try to see if you did something wrong

Good Luck :)"

its the battery mine is doing that now. the same thing happened to my uncle, when he went to apple they told him it was a faulty battery and they gave him a new phone. Just get a new battery and replace it. that is what i am about to do
