iPhone - Lines/Bars/Boxes in Screen

This issue isn't directly indicative of part defect per se, but common causes often include: lingering static electricity introduced during transit or the repair as well as insecurely attached ribbon cables.

Solution

Here are steps we recommend trying first before investigating with us further:

  1. Disconnect/remove the display.
  2. Inspect the display ribbon cables for any pinches or tears and inspect the connections and contacts on the logic board for any damaged pins.
  3. Use a Q-tip dipped in Isopropyl/Rubbing Alcohol to clear out any debris in the connections and contacts.
  4. Re-secure the display connections and reseat the display.
  5. With the new screen installed, power off the device and let it sit untouched for at least 6 hours.

Please Note: If you still aren't able to get the lines to go away after doing the above, please contact us with a picture of the lines.
