Hello,

I've managed to crack my iPhone 4 screen (by dropping it) so I ordered a new one from ebay. Little did I know that they decided to make life harder by gluing the LCD to the screen in iPhone 4 so the thing I ordered (just the glass and the digitizer) was useless.

I followed a tutorial when disassembling it and I reassembled it with the same, old, cracked screen.
Now, when I try to start it up, I get these mildly colored horizontal lines across the screen.

I'm pretty sure the touch screen still work because when I do the unlocking slide on the bottom of the screen, the lines change.

Is it done for, or is there something I can try? Maybe one of the connectors is not connected properly?
Also, when I opened the screen and saw that the original has the LCD-mirrory-thing attached to it, I tried to take it of a bit. Is it possible that that broke it?
I didn't stretch it too far as far as I know.
