Hey /diy/,
I replaced my iPhone 5 LCD.
I know it has something to do with the new LCD, because I reattached my old LCD and it didn't stutter like that.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? I will post next the FPC connectors. they appear fine to me but maybe one of you will spot something...?
Should I request a refund? Could it have been me, or is it the manufacturers fault?
I want to say it wasn't me (of course) because the cables still work as a general rule, and that stutter, technology wise, seems to be a minor flaw. Don't know if that actually holds up though.
FPC connectors of new LCD as promised
another one
on a sidenote: the distortion does bring out some cool effects. Figured that out when I first popped it on and saw my alex grey background
Send it back

That looks pretty cool. You should just leave it like that imo.

Isn't that what Skynet did to all the computers when it was switched on?
I have a Nokia. Even robots from the future can't break it.

you probably didn't plug it right

This exact fucking thing happened to my phone when it got water damaged. It stayed like that for about a year. I think the cooler the phone runs, the lesser the effect, but each time it heats up the stuttering intensifies. Must be some particles got between the connectors
My 5s did that. Then I bought a Samsung and haven't had any problems since.
Well you are going to open it anyway so when you open it make sure you blow all the dust from the connectors and reattach them. If that doesn't work you should send it back and get a replacement.
Probably a faulty screen.

Threw my Iphone in the bin when that happened and bought myself a Nexus 6p

I replaced a friends' iPhone 5c last week, works fine most of the time.. but apparently there's ghost touches now, sometimes can't even type apparently. probably some bad shielding somewhere, because it works half of the time. yours doesn't, maybe a cable has been bent too much or something's cramped up.

You bought an iphone. You literally arnt capable of fixing anything.

You had a bad lcd/connector, either it was fucked from the start or you fucked the cable on it. Either way you need a new one, you can't fix that.
