I had the same problem when removing and installing an iPhone 6 plus battery. After connecting all four flex cables to the mother board the phone either would not boot up or there were vertical lines on the display. Basics, basics, basics……unplug battery connector. Unplug all four flex cable connectors. Re-attach all four flex cable connectors, then connect battery flex cable. After installing both metal shields and closing the phone it booted up properly and worked just like new. Viola!

Did you have any problems after doing that to your phone? Or does it still have the lines?
