Hello all, I have a situation I haven’t seen before. A customer brought me an iPhone SE with a cracked screen. I put a replacement screen from iFixit on and when I turn it on, the Apple logo jumps up and down on the screen, the screen dims, gets statically, and just acts funky. I haven’t waited for it to boot all the way. When I put the same (new) screen on a different iPhone SE, it works fine. When I put the old cracked screen back on the SE I’m working on, it works fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Mitch
The issue is usually* because the replacement aftermarket screen is not compatible on the SE model. You’ll need to source another replacement screen that is compatible for the SE. For example you can use original 5S or SE screen on an SE.
It sounds like it might possibly be damage to the phone’s logic board, possibly around the connection pins, you can try cleaning the connector pins with 99.5% isopropyl alcohol.
