Screen flickering on replacement screen (original work fine)

While looking into answers on ifixit i found this video : https://youtu.be/m8bLkwm9hJc in this post : iPhone 6 - irregular backlight flickering

It shows the same problem i am having with a few differences.

1. it happens all the time, no 50/50 chance of it happening like the guy in the other post said.

2. it does not happen with the original cracked screen, with it all is working fine.

i have changed the battery and have tried with 5 different screens, all have the same problem, some flicker more than others though. what is strange to me is that whenever i change back to the original screen there is no problems.

anyone know what is up with this ?

i have now tried several screens. with one of the replacement screens it works 4/5 time i wake the screen, the 5th it will flicker like with the others. so i tried to use another broken screen i had, this one is apple original, no problems with it either. so it appears that for some reason this phone reject any non apple screen !?

I'm not sure why it's not happening with the original screen and it's happening with the other new screens, but it does sound like a backlight coil or a backlight diode or the backlight IC is going out, does it make a difference if you go into settings and turn the brightness of your screen up?

I dont think i will be able to change these, as i understand this requires microsoldering which i have yet to learn.

was hoping there would be something i could do without it, since it work perfect with the original screen 100% of the time, so if anyone could shine some light on why this happens it would be much appreciated.
