So I replaced the battery and the home button and everything works fine, however there’s a small spot at the bottom of the screen that’s yellow across white and white across black in that spot on the lcd. Looks like backlight bleed and if i press on the screen it gets bigger with pressure. Could I have tightened one of the screws too much on the home button? Is it worth reopening to see?
Perhaps the adhesive used under battery too thick? Battery is pushing against screen? Could be something under screen e.g a loose screw, home button cable getting snagged.
