Vertical White Stripes on the Screen After Replacement

A week ago I changed my iPhone 5 LCD screen, it was my first time doing a replacement so I broke the proximity sensor and front camera flex. I ordered that part and today I replaced it with the same procedure.

The problem is, I didn't touch the LCD parts but now my phone has white stripes from top to bottom. While it is opening, the apple logo is fully black then it gets whiter and whiter. It is fully functional except the stripes.

Also weird thing is, when I lock the device and unlock it, it looks normal for 3-4 seconds and than stripes come. And it looks like my phone's reselotuion got lower, don't know why either.

I tried brushing the pins, checking the pins, taking out and re-installing the connectors... Also I was using with the replaced LCD for a week without a problem.

I took a video of the problem: https://youtu.be/cmNlCxhC6H0

I replaced the screen and it worked like charm... Probably I broke the flex while I'm planting it. Or it was just a cheap product.

It's probably due to some microdamage to the lcd assembly cables. Sometimes these aftermarket screens quality is just decent, nothing more. In any case I don't see much you could do except buying a new replacement screen as it doesn't even look like connectors are badly seated.
