black screen but device works

I replaced 3 months ago the display and touch screen (ifixit kit) and it worked fine.

I have to say ifixit send me twice display because the first time It sent me part with a chip which was weld in different position even if for few millimetres.

Yesterday device has black screen with soft light, It happened during phone call.

Device rings, I can listen to received messages for apps and I can receive phone call but screen is dark.

I tried with soft reset but nothing, If I can try to unplug battery but I have to apply again new gasket for display ! What do you think? It could be problem about new display ?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

First I would try reconnecting the the battery and LCD. Just take the connectors on and put them back on. Most of the times it just needs that quick reset (it might need it a few times if it doesn’t turn in the first time). If that doesn’t work I would try a new LCD. If those two options don’t work I recommend a visit to a Third party Repair shop. Not Apple!!!
