Black screen with stripes after replacing front panel.

I followed the guide to replacing the front pannel. Once I finished, i realize that the phone was probably turned on. After that, I have tried to hard reset it, but it didn't work. Sometimes the screen goes black with vertical gray stripes, sometimes not. What means that? Could be the fact that the phone was turned on when I was working on it a possible reason?

Many tanks.

If the phone was on when you disconnected the battery there is a chance something may have happened...but for it to be doing what you have described is strange. Have you tried re setting the connecting ribbons (with the phone turned off)? If that doesn't work it may just be the screen that may be faulty.

It involves a little more work, but you could also try lifting the logic board off from the battery just enough to let the phone reset everything. Then putting the phone back together and turing it on with the display in.
