iPhone 7 Screen Replacement

[Davie_GLA]

Afternoon all.

I've replaced more than one iPhone 7 screen before without any issue however I got distracted this time and I think I've killed it.

I didn't remove the battery connector before removing the connectors to the screen etc.

Now with either the new or old (cracked) screen the phone just cycles through boot sequence. IT fires up and displays the apple logo however it then just restarts and does the same again over and over.

Is it toast? Any recovery options?

Can mean you damaged the TouchID button whilst removing it, they are kind of designed to break when removing them from the original screen unless you are really careful.

I gave up doing any screen replacements after the iPhone 6S. Not worth the risk on the later models.

No, I don't think that's the case as I immediately connected the cables again when removing the old screen and it still looped.

Pissed off. Don't replace screens while on conference calls!
