Fixed iPhone, tried turning on, worked, then stopped
Okay, I replaced my screen and battery. I also cleaned up all the corrosion around the connectors (but not inside logic board).
So I put everything back together and hold the power button. The Apple logo came up for 2 seconds, and then disappeared. Now, I connect my iPhone to the computer and it connects, but I cannot see anything on the iPhone screen.
Would it be my screen that shorted out? or would it be the backlight IC in the logic board?
I kind of peaked into the logic board and it looked kind of corroded around the area where the backlight IC is, but when I turned my iPhone on after replacing the screen, the Apple logo was bright.
Help appreciated!
Is this a good question?

i think the first thing to do here is reopen and recheck your connectors..if it is the backlight then you should have some faint image on screen. The fact itunes sees it makes me think LCD connection. IP4 aren't my thing though so see if someone more experienced has anything to add about your backlight before you go doing anything.

Ok I think I will probably do this. Also, I see NO IMAGE on the screen.. and the Apple logo was bright when I first turned on. I'm also thinking its the LCD connection so I'll check it.

Also just wanted to add that the VIBRATOR button works. When you move it back and forth I can feel the vibrator shutting off and on.

Nevermind I connected it to power and it did the same thing, apple logo and then turned off after 2 seconds. Hmm.
