Dropped iPhone, sreenscreen went white. Replaced LCD, screen still white.

Text:

I got a dropped iPhone with a white screen from a good friend of mine. My iPhone had a boatload of other problems but the LCD worked great. I put my LCD in his iPhone and for the whole day it felt like a brand new iPhone.

This morning it was working fine for an hour and then I noticed the screen was white. I noticed if I lightly tapped the screen it would flicker back to normal and vise versa...but eventually it was stuck white.

I opened it up and checked the front ribbons and everything was in order. I put it back together and it was normal for about a minute, now it's white and there's seemingly nothing I can do to fix it.

Has anyone experienced this? Did I just break a second LCD based on another problem with his phone?

== Update ==

Hey guys...I opened it up and double checked my connections...they're all good.

Still a white screen... Once again for a whole day it worked perfectly. out of nowhere the screen turned white and would flick back and forth as I lightly pressed it, until it went fully-white.

any ideas?
