Chosen Solution
Recently the screen of my iPhone 5s started to look strange - it had horizontal white lines across the entirety. I disassembled it in order to clean the connections, but when I tried to turn the phone back on, it ceased to function entirely. The screen would no longer turn on, and it no longer vibrated or made any noise. The battery gets warm when I charge it, and I can hear the hard disk. Things I have tried: -disconnecting the battery and holding the power button -hard reset -restore -checking the screen connectors and making sure they were placed properly -“charging” overnight If anyone thinks they can diagnose the problem, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like the screen has just completely died after showing signs of it being a faulty screen. Was the screen replaced before? because the quality of the screen may have contributed to the issue occurring. Anyway, to fix this problem the screen will probably need to be replaced. You can buy an iFixit iPhone 5s replacement screen from here: iPhone 5s LCD and Digitizer Guide to replace the screen if you haven’t done one before / familiar with screen replacement: iPhone 5s Screen Replacement Note if you do decide to replace the screen with one that has the full assembly: The fingerprint scanner / touch ID functionality of the home button is linked to the logic board meaning that if you use another home button, touchID will not work. Edit: The phone is showing no signs of life so disregard this post for now
