SOLVED: Why won't my phone turn on? - iPhone 5s

Why won't my phone turn on?

Hello,

I just exchanged the screen on my iPhone and it worked very well at first. It was then sent into a boot loop because of the camera cable so I unplugged it. After that the touch stopped working so i tried cleaning the connector with 91% alcohol and waited for it to evaporate before plugging the cable back in. After a while the phone turned off and now it won't turn on again. I would appreciate help.

Thank you in advance.

quick update, iTunes won't recognize it so restoring or updating is not a possibility (that I know of at least)

I would go back through this guide and double check your work. Some things to look out for are :

Tears in any of the flex cables
Damage to any of the connectors
Proper placement of the screws holding the front panel assembly cable (see Step 17 of the guide)

I've worked on iPhones before and there was a guide that came with the screen and a magnet mat for placement. I didn't see any tears last time I checked. Another thing is I can't open iTunes on my PC for some reason so I can't restore it for now.

I also noticed when it's plugged in and i hold power on and home for a few seconds I can hear a quiet beep and a couple other very quiet sounds so it is getting power.
