LCD failure after digitizer replacement

Hi Guys,

I've replaced a dozen or so apple screens and ran into my first problem. I had a pretty standard cracked digitizer. Removed and hooked up the new one. Unfortunately, when I power on the iPad I see a grey vertical band about 1 inch wide centered from the top to the bottom of the screen. I do not have any picture other than the wide band. After some time passes, the band widens into multiple vertical lines, and they disperse across the screen.

troubleshooting:

I've done a soft reset with power button and home button 4 times

I've done a hard reset "I think" by un screwing the battery and putting picks under it for 5 minutes

I've detached and reattached the lcd multiple times.

It seems unlikely to me that I damaged the digitizer cable, though I suppose its possible.

I did not undo the battery prior to replacing which I know would have been smarter, so that could be it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Did you resolve this issue? I've had exactly the same as you've described after replacing the digitiser. I assumed I had damaged the LCD so replaced it but the new one just comes on completely white with a few random lines down the right hand side of the screen.

Disconnect the battery.

Double check the connector on the flex of the LCD and the connector on the board - checking for any bent pins.

If they all appear fine then test a new LCD to see if your getting the same result.
