Chosen Solution

So, there’s this small white dot on my screen after a screen replacement. I’ve been told that it could be to do with the small silver box that sits on the back? It’s not directly flat because the adhesive on my replacement metal plate isn’t great. I only see the spot when the phone is in the frame. When it’s just connected and I test, there’s nothing. I’ve attached some pictures.

Yeah it’s the rectangle silver shield that covers the screen display ic chip that is pushing against the screen / phone. Usually to fix this issue you just need to re-align the flex so that it fits in the spacing as you see near the speaker / logic board.

Take the screen off, take the home button plate off and the side screws on the flex side if the screen. Now carefully unstick the flex cables away from the bottom of the shield and push the flex cables and ic as far into the phone as possible and so the ic shield lays square and tighten it all back down. There is a ridge on the loud speaker that the shield needs to sit in or you get the pressure marks. Hope that makes sense.

Hi ive tried to make a picture for you but I don’t have a shield with me to demonstrate as I’m not at the shop. A. Make sure all the slack is taken in this direction. B. The edge of the ribbon is along the edge of the phone.
