Lines on screen after replacement

Hi all

I have recently due to boredom of the coronavirus started trying repair as a hobby.

While I am learning I wanted to start cheap so I picked up an iPhone 5 cheap on ebay with a broken screen.

I purchased a replacement screen and when I first connected it the display was fine however the touch was not working as the connection came loose.

I reopened the phone and had trouble with the digitizer clicking into place but managed to get it eventually then i clicked the rest into place but now the display looks like this.

I have checked and compared both connections in the old screen and new one and with my limited knowledge the pins look fine as do the pins on the logic board.

Any ideas what the cause of this might be?

You either have a bad connection to the screen or you put to much pressure on the screen or you damaged the screen when you opened it back up. These are options and I would remove the connectors for the screen and brush the connectors off with a soft brush. MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED WHEN YOU DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE CONNECTORS. I wouldn't put it all away and check it. Give it a try

Update (04/29/2020)

I'm going to bet you need a new screen. I would get a good quality one. I would use reputable seller like ifixit, don't use the cheap ones you can get on Ebay.

I have tried brushing off the connections using ipa and waiting for it to dry. I think I may have damaged the screen at some point because it was displaying perfectly fine but the digitizer was not working. I must have done something when I opened it up again to fix the touch.

I will need to get another screen as I don't have a functioning one to test if it is the screen or IC.
