The screen may not be the problem. It’s possible it’s the cables connecting the video board to the display itself. Was the t.v. dropped, knocked over or maybe hit by a power surge?

The body of the phone could be bent causing the screen to pop up OR there’s a foreign object that isn’t letting the display sit correctly in the body. I suggest you take it back to the person who replaced the screen and ask them to help figure it out. I’d listen carefully for any additional problems caused by the breaking of the screen.

Have you tested to be sure it’s the power switch causing the problem and not a faulty charger or something else? I have searched and find no pictures of the internal switch anywhere.

My grandson has the same model phone and also had a cracked screen. I purchased a new (after-market) one on eBay for $16.71 and replaced it. The phantom touches are likely caused by pressure from the broken glass. You might be able to reduce the pressure by very, very, VERY, carefully picking out some of the pieces with pointed tweezers. I do not suggest this by someone who isn’t prepared. Have a large, flat, clear surface to work on. Something laid out to catch the broken pieces, and maybe gloves to protect your fingers. Also you might try packing tape on the screen then peel off slowly. See if the broken pieces that come off with the tape were part of the problem.

Note that if you’re removing the leather back, you need to go down farther than just the leather. You have to pick up the plastic piece the leather is glued onto.

You can buy the OCA glue (sheets) online in many places but if it were me, I’d return the glass and purchase the display already together. Ifixit carries these and used at a very reasonable price. The reason I suggest returning the glass only is that if it is not done absolutely perfect, you wind up with bubbles or worse in your display. iPhone 5s LCD and Digitizer

It sounds like you have a faulty screen. When you touch the opposite area on the screen to make something happen for example, touch top left to make something happen on the bottom right. Does that sound like what’s going on with yours? The only fix is to return it and get a new, new screen.

Randy's answer is probably going to fix it. You might want to go ahead and check all flex cables to make sure they're seated correctly. Also, make sure the power and volume buttons weren't put in a bind when you put the thing together. I have had that happen (I hate being rushed) and had to remove the mid-frame to fix it.

I had the same problem with the fan on my laptop (this same model) but only after it had been disconnected and removed to service another part. If this is a possibility with your machine, try doing as Oldturkey03 suggests. When you get to the connector for the fan, look inside the plug socket and make sure none of the pins haven't been bent. One pin bent slightly prevents the connector from making contact. This keeps the fan from operating correctly and it's a simple step. I always try the no cost simple things first. Hope this helps.

Question: Does it render the old display (LCD) unusable or just the touchscreen?

The NFC pad has to be transferred to the new battery or it won’t charge correctly if at all. The black appears to be graphite. No matter how carefully I picked the charging coil off, the black still came off in places. Most of it was still intact so the battery charged to 100% (Yay!) and although the battery discharged at a normal rate, Asurion Battery Health app shows it working at only 637% which, oddly enough, is about the amount of graphite that was scraped off during the removal process.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the purpose for the two very strong magnets?

They’re not turning in the second section. The screw is just stuck in the black piece. Try using very pointed tweezers to help remove the screws. Put the points just underneath the screw head and hold it up as you unscrew it.

Edit is not an option so I re-post. After fiddling with the LCD connector, the gray bar is gone but the display remains white with no picture. I can hear the startup sound . This makes me think there’s no damage to the LCD as I’d thought but may be a bad connection. Something else I can’t see without a microscope. Either way, I’ve ordered a replacement LCD and will say if this fixed it making the white screen absolute damage.

I have this too minus the rainbow flare. I have the wide gray stripe and the only cause I can find is a very minor scratch on the black covering down the left side of the LCD. It feels like there might be a micro scratch right next to the scratch in the black tape. I wonder could this be the cause.

Jeff, in that case I would refer to the guides that show how to move your home button and other parts to the new frame.

Kyler sometimes that happens here too. Go back in carefully and double check the battery plug. Disconnect it and reconnect leaning down to look under the edge of the connector if necessary. Sometimes it helps. Other times just plugging the phone into the charge cord for a minute helps.

Thank you for posting such great pictures of detail parts and (those blasted little rubber gaskets!) and how they are situated. This is an excellent guide.. Yours is an example I wish others would follow. Pictures from the angle low and in close are so helpful finding where that little rubber thingy (Yes that’s a technical term) goes and which direction it should be in.
