Screen wont turn on after installation

I installed my new iphone 4s screen and followed the directions in the ifixit guide and I can feel it vibrate when it comes on but that is it, I swapped out the screen with another new screen and still no screen. Someone please help.

Check your ribbon cables for any tears or disconnections

I tried that and even order yet another screen and i can feel it vibrate and hear it but can not see it, I can hook up the old screen and still nothing. It makes no sense that 4 screens from different companies dont work. Please help

Also make sure and plug the phone into the computer. I disassembled and reassembled 4 times trying to get it to work. I ave up and scheduled a genius bar appt. for replacement an decided to charge it before going in just in case an it turned on.

I would suggest holding the home and the power button down at the same time to force it to hard reset. This wont guarantee results but it may help with your problem. The only other thing i can think of if you have tried that many screens would be that your plug on the main-board itself is damaged.

I had a similar problem,

Tyson's solution worked for me

I switched out a screen thought everything went great,

wouldn't turn on

so I hooked it up to the computer to see if the computer would read it

and sure enough when I looked back the screen was on

good luck

i had the same problem.

replaced the screen per instructions. Could see that light/energy was getting to the new screen while i had it apart. snapped it together thinking that would allow it to display but nothing showed. Felt it vibrating cause i'd get a text. Read this website...

Did a hard reset.

Hard reset worked.
