Is there any difference on screen frame between GRA-L09 and GRA-TL10??? The l09 is the single sim and the TL10 is the dual sim…

Albert Einbein - Jan 11, 2019

installing a new screen the first time, i was looking at darkness. then, taking it apart again and taking away the protective foil on the back of the screen, it just showed pink/purple colors and started heating up pretty bad around the charging connector. my idea would be a short circuit. any idea what is going wrong and can this still be saved?
