If I put pressure on the top half of the connector it works but when I let go it fades away

Check connection is secure, the flex connectors can bend and prevent a full connection

Overuse / testing of screens renders them useless, I fell a screen has about 5-10 connections in it before it starts flickering, lines, unresponsive e.t.c.

It could be the phone, tried another phone?

Wash connectors and heat with heat gun, connectors can take a lot of heat so don't be shy

Throw in bin if above doesn't work.

How will a heat gun help? Iphone boards are more sensitive so you Must be shy and use shielding kapton tape.
