I would reinstall and be sure to disconnect the battery connector.

It is possible that the lcd acts strangely after a digitizer replacement.

There is a possibility you blew the back light out or damaged the on/off button. Have you tried to turn it on by plugging it in?

Sorry, for maybe stupid question, but what you mean with "reinstall". Restore device?

by

No i mean redo the procedure. Start again basicly, but this time be sure do disconnect the battery. You could try a hard reset by pressing the home button and on/off button at the same time for about 8 seconds before reinstalling.

And if so how do you mean? Did you peel of the contacts or have you lost the part?

I have to buy new button. Or can I just use aluminium foil for example? Becouse for button I will wait next few of weeks

by

I would not advise trying to make something to mimic properties of that part. I'm not sure but i think those contacts are made of copper or gold. Where are you situated that you have to wait multiple weeks for parts?! And it may seem annoying to hear now but i bet you wont lose a part again ;)

Just reinstall the display, you might have wrongly plugged in something.
