iPhone Won't Turn On After Screen Replacement? Here's The Fix!

Two Apple experts explain what to do when your iPhone won’t turn on after a screen placement. A lot of the time, this is the result of a botched repair.

However, it could also be a software problem, and it's important to rule that our first. If the software on your iPhone crashed, it may make your iPhone display completely black. Hard reset your iPhone to see if that fixes the problem.

If a hard reset doesn’t work, put your iPhone in DFU mode and try to restore it.

If your iPhone is broken, you have a few repair options.

i replaced the back housing of my iphone and the screen (full assembly) i bought 3. i disconnected the battery before replacing the screen and reconnected it after installation. all 3 screens had the black lights come on but no display. what else can i check/try besides popping the connectors out and popping them back in?

Your video helped me! I recently replaced a broken screen on my daughters XR. After the replacement the battery faded away, would not charge and left the phone completely dead. I tries all of the attempts to reboot. You mentioned putting the original part back in. I did that and the phone took a charge. After a full charge, and software update, I put the new screen back in and it all works! The screen company suggested replacement only when the battery is at 20%. This didn’t allow enough battery for the needed software updates after the install. Thanks!
