Touch Screen Not Responding
Hi Guys, I have a friend’s 6s Plus that has had a screen replacement and is now not responding to touch. The iPhone was initially repaired at a local phone shop, although it only cost my friend £60 and therefore I assume that it was either a cheaper aftermarket screen or it was not a full replacement. However, after a while, it either stopped responding to touch and was then cracked again or the other way around (my friend is unsure). The phone shop will not repair it for free and are saying that it will cost about £100? Hence why I have the phone. Furthermore, somebody else has taken this phone apart since it stopped working and then it worked for a few days… Is it just a case of replacing with an OEM part or is this a board issue? I have read that it may just be a flex cable or the damage to the screen has caused it to not respond to touch but I am worried that it may be the connectors on the board being damaged…

Firstly thanks for your answers! I thought I’d post a little update... I have disassembled the phone and taken a look inside (worryingly some of the screws were waaaay too tight and 2 even missing (one pentalobe and one 1.3mm on the flex cable cover))
Firstly, the digitizer cable came up without me even touching it (I disconnected the front camera cable and the digitizer came with it...) and also doesn't have that black foam cover on it so it was just bare metal! All seems to be good visually (although I don’t have a microscope)
I reconnected everything and still the same problem, no response from the touch screen... It is cracked so will need a replacement at some point anyway, I take it that’s my next step?

Yes, I believe so. Though long screw damage is possible from what you described, or pry damage... a new lcd will help eliminate it as the issue

Good point michael, I should have checked to see whether the screw lengths lined up! I know that the phone worked initially after the repair and then also when my “friend’s friend” opened it and put it back together it worked again... does that sound like the screws could have caused that?? I shall order a new lcd! (Unless I can test with my 6s (not plus) screen??)

Nope, not with 6s... but if you have a shop close, most carry broken lcds that they changed that work. You could always stop by 1, ask if you could just use 1 for a 15 sec test to see if a screen change would help.

I have ordered a replacement screen assembly and shall try that. Will update in a few days with results! (Have also ordered replacement screws as I can't bring myself to leave the phone in that state!)
