iPhone 5 screen won't display and phone is really hot while charging
I recently was given an iPhone 5 from a friend of mine that had a destroyed screen. She said she dropped it while getting into her car. The screen and digitizer were destroyed so i replaced it with a new assembly. Before and after the repair the phone won't display anything on the screen but it continues to make the charging tone every few seconds when plugged into an outlet. In addition the phone gets really warm while plugged into an outlet, especially the camera module. The outside of the phone is in pretty good condition aside from the screen so i can't think that she damaged it that much. The contacts for the LCD and digitizer looked fine through a 10x loupe and the screen works well on other devices. The phone is occasionally recognized by iTunes and I have hard reseted the device 6-7 times. I'm very familiar with the inner workings on any generation iphone but this one has me very perplexed. The inside of the device looks immaculate and I've inspected most areas of contact. Im guessing a replacement battery would help but I wanted to see if anyone on here had some advice before I placed an order. I've reviewed similar posts about these issues but none of the remedies have helped.
