Help I replaced the screen on the Nexus 7 but it won't display anything.

I accidently broke the screen on my Mums Nexus 7 2012 a while ago. I finally got around to replacing the screen. I followed the ifixit.org guide on how to take it apart and put it back together.

When I plug it in it registers that it is on and working but it doesn't display anything.

I took it apart again and made sure all the connectors were in properly and not sure what else I can do apart from send the screen back for a replacement.

Well, first off Welcome to the forums

I would suggest to just get a new replacement screen, sounds like you did everything right.

Just be careful of static electricity. Work on a hard surface next time, not carpet, and be sure to discharge any static electricity by touching metal

Thanks for the welcome.

The new screen is still in the Amazon return period so I guess I'll just do that.

I replaced it on a hardwood table, so there wasn't any chance of static electricity.

Hmm, maybe it was just a bad piece of hardware, especially if you were careful and followed a guide online on how to install it properly.
