This is usually caused by how the screen flex cables are aligned. Take a look at the flex coming from the screen and notice that there is a silvery “chip” on the flex. If it isn’t aligned properly, it will impede the way the screen sits on the housing.

Where is the silvery chip ? I cant find it. Could you send me a photo of it please ?

oh, i know what chip. It seems that the chip from my replacement screen is a bit bigger than the one on the original one. What should i do with it ?

by

The arrow of the "Start Guide" practically points to it :>). Sometimes it just needs to be moved over a little bit until it rests in the opposite "hole" properly.

No I didnt but i dont think its the solution. I noticed that the silvery chip on the flex cable is a bit larger than the one on the original screen. I think it doesnt fit in because its too big. What should I do about it ?
