I’m totally in shock. I replaced the screen last night and it was working perfectly, and then when I went to pick up the phone this morning the screen was split across the middle. I haven’t carried the phone or done anything with it. Has anybody heard of this before? I was actually struck by how easy the screen replacement process was compared to the laptops I used to fix for my job. It seemed like the replacement went smoothly and the screen was working perfectly while I played with the phone and tested it for an hour or so after the replacement. All I did was plug it in for the night and now when I came back to use it the brand new screen is toast. Aaargh!
This can happen. If the frame holding the glass was dented or tightened to much during the repair. I had this happen setting a 1 carat emerald cut diamond when I had a jewelry store. It was fine the day I wet it and the next day split in half ;-(
