Hello, This iPad had a badly broken digitizer and screen. I installed a brand new digitizer screen assembly using clamps to ensure a firm and consistent seal. What could be causing the new screen to have a colored strip with various colored lines on the left side of the screen?
Is this a good question?

@timothyyoder looks like a damaged screen. Time to replace it once more, just this time skip any clamps since those can cause pressure damage.

Just what I was suspicious may have happened. Guess I’ll prove it with a new screen. Thanks for your input.
@timothyyoder hope it works out for you. Let us know what happens after you change it once more
IFixedit! I installed a new digitizer screen assembly. It works well now.
@timothyyoder AWESOME. Thank you for coming back to let us know! Repair is War on Entropy!

Hi Tim, digitizers are extremely delicate and there may be a chance that during the installation that some debris or small particle could have put pressure on the screen and cause the ribbon. I would try to disassemble it as carefully as possible and examining if whether or not there is significant damage to the digitizer underneath. Hope this helps!

Is this problem similar to the one you replaced it for?

@hampter Not that I am aware of although parts of the screen were black/unreadable from being broken.

@timothyyoder that is very good to hear i had a little suspicion that this wasnt a screen problem, but if the crack is different then you just put the clamps too hard follow turkey’s advice

After replacing the digitizer screen assembly for the second time (no clamps used) the screen works well. Problem Solved.
