Hey Scott,

It sounds like you may have a faulty flex cable in your display assembly. It may have a small spot inside where it has worn down, and when it bends, two wires contact each other, shorting the phone and resulting in a shutdown. To make sure that the issue is as a result of your display (and to rule out any other issues), try connecting your old display and see if anything appears to be shorting out again.

Hope this helps,

-Tanner
