I recently replaced my screen for my iphone 6s but the screen is black. I did not remove the battery when replacing it but i did shut the phone off. I did notice a small puff of smoke coming out those ribbon cables when connecting the 3 cables back to the actual phone. I tried to put the old screen back but that did not work either, is there anything i can do to fix this?
Is this a good question?

Backlight filter is blown. It happens when screen is connected or disconnected while the battery is connected to the logic board.
You'll need to take the phone to a local reputable repair shop that does micro-soldering on iPhones to get it fixed.

How sure are you that, thats the issue?
i took the phone into a dark room and put another phones flashlight on the screen and it didnt show anything
100% sure because that's what always happens on the 6s when you see a puff of smoke near the screen connectors when you plug it in.
do you have and estimate of how much it would cost to fix ?
They start at around $80 or more. Most stores charge around that price.

By “puff of smoke”, do you mean dust? (That’s what I hope)
It maybe be a bad screen, the display connectors are damaged, or your motherboard died.
To check the motherboard, plug in the phone to a computer with iTunes, and see if it’s recognized. If not, you’re screwed.

I connect it and it recognizes it but it says error code 0xe800015, which im guessing is because i cannot unlock the phone because the screen wont work. What could i do ?
Well, it had to happen. I think you'll need to take it to a ship to get it repaired. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do, so best of luck to you, man!
