Looks like damage to the LCD. You’ll probably have to replace it. iPad 6 tablets have a small amount of adhesive which holds the corners down where the screws are inserted. If you applied too much pressure beneath the LCD to pull it up, it could have damaged it.

Nothing works. I plugged it in to test it and nothing.

Looks like your LCD is damaged. Can happen any number of ways? Bring it to a reputable repair shop to have the screen changed and see if that fixes the problem.

Potentially a bad replacement screen. As well, the battery will sometimes drain completely down if you didn’t power down the phone or disconnect the battery prior to either disassembling the phone or disconnecting the screen. Try to charge the battery if you haven’t already. Hope that’s helpful.

My first thought is you fried your charge port somehow, but if you have connected to iTunes and can actually attempt to charge your battery, then your charge port is fine. An unfortunate side effect of changing the screen is that sometimes it can affect your battery. Did you power down your phone before beginning the repair, and did you unplug the battery before disassembling the phone? If you didn’t, this can sometimes have a negative affect on the battery. I’ve seen them run completely down, to where the battery has to be completely recharged after a screen change and I’ve also seen where they just don’t have the same life they used to have after a screen change. You might attempt to have your battery changed. If you encounter the same problem, the issue could lie with the logic board. Hope that’s helpful.

I was able to fix this issue for a customer and all I did was clean the charge port free of lint. This may not work in every situation, but its definitely worth a try if you’re trying to avoid buying a new phone.

I was able to do this the first time w/out damaging the LCD simply by following the instructions to the letter, slowly and carefully. The only thing I did differently was to follow Northstar’s instructions to remove the two pieces of tape at the bottom of the LCD before beginning.

Why is the power button not included in this guide? It’s part of the repair.
