Unfortunately, I was one of the victims of the three-colored (rainbow) screen replacement issue and sadly my LCD needs to be replaced. I contacted apple and from where I came from, it's very expensive. I opt out a cheaper option: acquired an lcd from a working iPhone 13 mini that and replaced it with my own.

I brought it to the first technician to replace my LCD. The LCD did not work on the first tries, but on frequent tries it turned on, before it did not work again. I already asked help from other technician in our local place but they concluded that the LCD that I bought might be defective from the start.

Is it really that? I witnessed how the LCD from the other mini was removed and was safely shipped. It did turn on momentarily meaning the LCD might not be damaged during shipment.

My device got updated to ios 17.1. Is it possible that my phone rejected the LCD coz of the update? Do I need to downgrade?

I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH3FaV91a5o and it says that I need to reset my phone after screen replacement. Will this help?

I really need some insights coz I'm afraid to get another LCD again.
