Hi all
Have a 5S at work that's had a hard life and now the battery won't hold charge for more than a couple of hours. I bought a kit online (with all tools) to change it, £8.
Easy enough job, but after the change I'm now seeing horizontal flashing/flickering white lines. Reading around this is a connection problem from the back of the screen itself (ribbon cables pushing the rear of the screen), not the digitizer. I have these exact symptoms. Holding the screen at 90 degrees to the body (gap/distance between ribbon cables & pressure on connection) the lines go away. I've tried many different bits of paper between the various ribbons and chip (scroll down to last comment on the thread). All to no avail...
Is it worth forking out for a replacement screen on this or just recycle the phone and source another? Me replacing the battery was a last ditch attempt to avoid doing so!
