    Default Fried Logic Board?

    OK, so I think I screwed up. I was attempting to test a new screen on my iphone 4. I left the battery in so that I could turn the screen on when I connected it. As I removed the shield over the ribbon cables at the top of the phone the flash went off. I didn't think anything of it, but now I can't get the phone to do anything. Tried another battery thinking it was dead and that was a no go, checked all the connections and everything looks fine. Did I fry the board, or should I try something else?

    UPDATE: OK, so I'm getting texts and everything but I can't get the phone's screen to turn on or unlock (by swiping the location where slide to unlock appears).

    Any suggestions?

    I tried, nothing happened, the lcd isn't lighting up either it's just dead, but I know it's a good lcd. Perhaps I damaged the port? Digitzer isn't working either and the flash on the camera is dead. I tried cleaning all the connections with rubbing alcohol, but I still get nothing.

    I do not think you fried the logic board but you might have shorted your LCD screen. Unplug the battery and re-set all the connectors again. It should be working fine then, if not try another spare front assembly and if it works then you fried your LCD.
