My screen wont work after button replacement

hi I'm hoping someone can help me, I replaced the screen on my ipad 2 with no problems at all and we discovered we couldn't remember passcode which is when we then realised we couldn't do a hard reset as the power button wasn't working, I then attempted the replacement of the power button cable etc and it seemed to go on without a problem, but then once reconnecting it all including putting screen and digitizer back on , the screen doesn't light up, I plugged it in to the charger and I got the noise to say it was on charge but cant get any further... please help

assuming you did a hard reset (Home and power for 15 seconds or until you see the apple logo.) after the replacement, i would suggest checking out your connections for the LCD. If the connection is fine, and hard reset does not fix the issue, then you may have blown the backlight coil, where you will need a controlled hot air gun, as well as a microscope, and tweezers and side cutters to do the repair. i would not suggest doing this repair without extensive practice on motherboard soldering

Remove the logic board, and unclip the panel housing the coil.

Clip the frame near the coil with the side cutters, to allow access to the part.

at this point it is a standard 2 trace microsolder job.

Reassemble, and tada.
