My wife’s iPhone’s screen smashed so I got a replacement and fitted with no real problems.

However when the iPhone was switched back on the new digitizer was unresponsive. I did a reset and restore with no luck. I contacted the supplier of the screen suspecting that it maybe a faulty screen; I am currently awaiting a new screen to turn up.

I can see the lock screen OK but cant “slide to unlock”

I was wondering if the problem could be related to something else and if there was any troubleshooting I could do. I have checked all the ribbon connectors and they are all clicked into position.

Thanks Rob
 
Yep I bought the screen off eBay after I noticed the screen was faulty the seller sent a replacement.

I fitted the replacement today and touch wood the screen seems to be working

Can someone advise where I could get a genuine screen from in the UK if I have to change another screen
