So a few days ago my phone screen got cracked and i ordered a new screen here at iFixit. When i got the screen i replaced it right away, it still turned on before the repair. so i turned the phone off and got the battery and screen disconnected. To test my replacement screen i connected that up before connecting the battery again, Once i powered it on i smelled burning plastic so as soon as i smelled that i disconnected the battery and till now my phone is dead. Does anyone how and why this happened and is it fixable? I also tried my original screen and it did the same thing
It has obviously suffered electrical damage. Maybe this occurred from miss aligning the screen connector or trying to connect the wrong model screen. As for the damage it has caused it would be hard to determine without a physical examination. If you smelt plastic burning there is a good chance you will need to replace the FPC connector and probably a filter at best. Unfortunately this repair will require microsoldering.
