Replaced the screen and now the LCD will not turn on

(I'm an ex cellphone repair technician now full time electrical engineering college student, so I had done this repair before, but it had been a while)

I was doing a standard repair yesterday on my sisters iPhone 6s for a LCD replacement and I forgot to disconnect the power to the battery when doing the repair. I did power off the phone before the repair. After putting the phone back together, the phone would turn on but I would not get any display. Fingerprint sensor works, charging works and everything (so I can get the information off the phone) but the screen will not turn on. The screen does come on for about half a second when plugged in the charger for the first time but immediately turns off afterwards.

I believe the issue is on the motherboard since the original screen on the phone does the same thing on the new screen. Possibly a connection was shorted on one of the pins that caused damage to a filter or resistor? Can anyone confirm this?

If the motherboard does have damage can anyone point me to a good business that does motherboard repairs. I live in the Colorado area so if there is a shop in Denver that would be great!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

iphones have always had an issue with signals getting to new screens if they are not disconnected from the battery during operation. Plug the device in, and do a standard hard reset. (home and power for 20 seconds, or untl you see the apple logo)

if this doesnt fix your issue, as an engineer, you should have the basic surface mount skills to relplace the device imaging chips, or you can take it to ipad rehab.
