iPhone 7 plus touch unresponsive after screen replacement

iPhone 7 plus touch unresponsive until wake button pressed after screen was replaced.

I Replaced the screen and reset the phone through itunes. when i went to set phone up as new phone, the touch screen was unresponsive. the home button worked fine.

when i pressed the wake button touch worked fine and was able to set up the phone.

Everything worked as it should.. i then reset the phone to see if it would be unresponsive again and it was . would only respond to touch if i clicked the wake/sleep button..

Any idea why this would happen? I doubled checked all connections on the phone and everything installed right.

I have the same problem, ive cracked my screen and I got it replaced and then it worked for like a few weeks and then it suddenly just didnt wanna respond sometimes. I would be writing a message and suddenly it wouldn't respond at all and then i would use the wake/sleep button and then it would work for like 5 seconds and then it would be unresponsive again.

Sometimes though at the evening it would work for like 2 hours and then in the morning i would have the problem again. This is after the newest update, i hope that this is just the update that do this and not the screen.

Did you do the replacement yourself? If so where did you gt your part? Was it a genuine part? Sometimes, they can arrive faulty!

ALSO, it is now WELL KNOWN that any 7 plus aftermarket screen will no longer work. Apple is aware of it and most repair shops SHOULD know about it now.

Nonesense. If the repair shop is using quality parts, there is no issue. Sometimes it happens that an update to iOS 12.2 or higher causes these intermittent touch issues

I just updated to 11.3 and it still will be unresponsive when phone is first turned on, have to press the wake sleep wake button and than it works fine. i bought a new screen from here (ifixit) for another phone im replacing the screen on because im pretty sure its the cheap screen i bought that's doing it.

I returned and replaced 3 screens because they didn't work from gadgetfix for this phone and i will not get anymore from them. the ifixit screen worked perfectly first time installed on my other phone.

So im going to stick with the screens from here for now on...
