Diagnosing Display Issue Cause (Picture Link In Body)

My fiance has an iPhone 5s (AT&T/A1533) and she is having issues with the display after dropping the phone (has a TPU case, so no crack in glass or panel). I have in the past had other devices which had similar issues due to a lose connection to the motherboard and am curious if there is a way to tell if is the LCD itself or something else easily? Google Drive 5s LCD

The touchscreen also worked intermittently for a couple days but now not at all which makes me wonder if it is a flex cable, as I'd be surprised if LCD and digitizer were going out at same time..

If there is any other specific information you need to help, please let me know!

Thanks!

Shocked? I'm confused how a piece of silicon could be ruined by shock without cracking the mobo/CPU etc...

The screen could definitely be broken due to dropping as could the digitizer, or the flex could have come lose also...

I have repaired lots of devices screens and haven't had any of them "die" later on...

Ah another drop no cracked screen device. So here we go, you can take it apart and void the warenty to find nothing wrong if you like. Or trust me that the only fix is a warenty repair that you would have to pay the shiping on. You can skip this and buy a new device if you like. The isue is the system has been shocked. Its like a car crash, it will run with out repair however in the end it will die. Unlike the car your device will stay dead.
