screen messed up after battery replacement?

I just replaced the battery on my iphone 6. did it while following a video... everything seemed okay. I removed the screen when I replaced the battery to avoid messing it up from what the DIYers had told me that would be best, so I took the screen off thinking that I'd avoid messing the screen up but now the screen is totally &&^&@@... its got lines running all through the screen and nothing is legible, and the touch doesn't respond. (i'm assuming it doesn't respond bc i can't see any apps etc, but touching the screen did nothing.)

What did/ could I have done to mess it up and is it something i can fix on my own or did I just waste money replacing a battery myself just to &&^& my phone up and end up paying for a repair anyway...

Any advice will help!

Check the connector ribbons on your screen. Make sure none of them are ripped. Then check the connectors themselves, on the screen and the board, make sure there's no damage to those. If there isnt any visible damage, then try reinstalling the screen. Be sure to click one side of the connector and then the other side until it clicks in completely. Don't push the middle. And then power cycle your phone. I think your data cable popped off which can result in black or white lines in the display. Did you keep the battery unplugged while you re-installed the screen?

Thank you! It works perfectly after unplugging the battery connector before installing the screen.

Thanks! I got the white lines on screen too. I took off cable connectors found a piece of the battery adhesive on one connector. Tried again same thing. Did another few times, still lines. I googled and found this answer. I then put together making sure i pushed connector one side at a time until clicked. That worked!

Thank you!! Connecting the screen with the battery disconnected fixed it! It made me realize that EVERY TIME i tried to reconnect the screen the battery was still plugged in. Thank you so much! I could not have afforded a screen replacement too lol

Great! I'm glad that is was an easy fix! Next time remember to unplug the battery when taking off and putting on the screen, otherwise you can short out the screen and blow the back light filter like I have done before. Im glad you didn't! :)

You need to put the touch screen flex properly
