SOLVED: Changed lcd screen only backlight working - iPhone 5

Changed lcd screen only backlight working

I changed my LCD on my iphone 5, originally the LCD wouldn't work, then when i changed it, it lit up. However only the backlight seems to be working. When i plug it into my laptop it seem to work because in itunes it was that i have put it in DFU mode and it needs restoring, so i restore and update the phone, then it says waiting for iphone. shall i try a new LCD do you think that it would work then?

Thanks

Open up disconnect the connector and be sure they are 100% seeded correctly then preform a hard restart by holding power and home button togeather for 7 seconds the let go of home and keep pressing power..

If still nothing then I'm afraid it's a faulty lcd..

1 rule I have set for myself never buy off flee bay as the screens that are going for cheap money are just that cheap and nasty

First you could try your old display see if that's working.
