3. Test the new display.
   • Temporarily connect the new display assembly. The LCD connector is a little tricky to connect.
   • Start the iPhone and check whether the LCD and touchscreen work properly. Make sure the connectors are securely plugged in to the connections. If not, the display will remain black or stripes will appear on it.
   • If the display is slightly yellow, see the last step in this manual.
