Hello, I purchased and installed a new Full Assembly fix kit for my wife’s iPhone 5s. It powered up well and install was a cinch but there are dark bands along the top of the screen that I’m assuming are related to the backlight. Any ideas? Do I have a connection that wasn’t made well or is it possible the assembly kit was a lemon? I have a picture of the banding that I will try to upload (not so sure I can make it work). Thanks! Adam
The LCD cable is the easiest (and smallest) of the three ribbons to snap / click in place. I’d give it several attempts to get the cable connected and if its still showing banding you’ve either got a damaged connector or a bad screen. If it’s an aftermarket screen I’d probably be tempted to go with the latter, but check your board… with a magnifying glass if needs to be. Good luck.
Hi It could be a bad connection from either only way to check this is to have another screen handy. I always find if I get banding on LCD, its usually the connection teeth on the clip get your best magnify glass out… check all the legs are strait and clean. happy days Ray
