iPhone X boot loop when the digitizer is connected

Hello IFixers,

The screen of my IPhoneX went completely black after I dropped the phone into the pool.
(First some green lines then just black)

I bought an original refurbished screen from eBay and installed it yesterday.
When I power on the phone it starts looping during the boot process. It shows the apple logo for a few seconds then it shuts down and starts again.

I tried several things, including isopropyl alcohol bath for the logic board, but nothing helped.

Then I tried to disconnect the digitizer and the phone booted without any issue and the screen looks perfect.

I checked the digitizer connector on the board and on the flex cable, but couldn’t see any damage on those.

Could it be a faulty digitizer? The seller told me that it was fully tested and in working condition.
Or maybe the logic board is damaged permanently?

Do you have any suggestion?

I typically don’t like to source parts from eBay as they’re not always sold as advertised but anyways there could be a chance it’s defective or that the liquid damage is a bit deeper than just the screen. If the old screen works, can you test that one as well?

Yeah definitely attempt to connect the old screens digitizer to see if the issue is on the logic board or the replacement screen. eBay part would be my bet though.

Yes, it’s the replacement screen.
I bought a cheap aftermarket one and the phone works perfectly with that.
Unfortunately it has a thicker frame that I don’t like, so I’m sending back both screens and I’ll try to get an original one.


Thank You for the support!
