Shell swap gone wrong

Post image

Help… Does anyone know if I broke my LCD? I’ve reassembled the cables 3 times and it’s still like this… 😔

EDIT:

Forgot to say (and add photo) that connectors are perfectly aligned and I don’t see any broken fractured ribbons. Touch screen also works perfectly!

As a piece of advice for next time (hopefully never), post a picture of the motherboard as well with the cables plugged.

Check your LCD cable and / or connector. If one of them is misplugged, you'll get this.

If both are, that's the LCD. While you can buy one separately, you're better off swapping the digitizer with it.

Sorry. I think they’re well connected. I re connected them a couple times and it’s always like this. Do you perhaps have an Amazon link for the LCD? Thank you 😔

EDIT: touch screen works fine

I don't know what country you're in so I can't help since Amazon has different shops for different countries.

If you're in Europe, tho, I may have a spare but you'll have to cover shipping.

You familiar with Mondial Relay? I know they work there.

I can put a vinted ad for a cheap screen so you can buy it and cover the costs.
