New screen; now incidentally backlight comes on but LCD does not

So I just installed a new screen from iFixit on my iPhone 5.

Now sometimes when I wake the phone the backlight comes on but the LCD does not i.e. the screen stays black but I can see the backlight is on. Until now the LCD does come on after a couple lock/wake cycles but this is not ideal.

Could this be a problem with the part or did I make a mistake installing the part?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

believing you disconnected the battery and did not cause any damage to the connections -try another screen. also if your old screen worked but was cracked reconnect it to ensure the connections work and no damage to board

Unfortunately I tossed my old screen so I don't have another to try. Thing is, because it works properly most of the time I would think the connection does not seem to be the problem.
