Hi. I have replaced a cracked digitiser, and before securing screws and sticking down I switched on to test. All seemed to be working perfectly so I went ahead, but after securing I had a problem with screen. I had a line across middle where everything above was perfectly positioned, but everything below was slightly too high. This meant I had part of notification bar repeated on bottom and Several rows of image missing in middle.

I opened up again to check everything connected properly, but have caused more problems. Image is repeated and jumping up and down screen, now cannot get past home screen. I think I may have neglected to disconnect battery the second time around and am now concerned I have damaged LCD.

See below images. Starts with one apple symbol then it multiplies over about 25 seconds.

What is the most likely cause of this?

Thanks

The cause is an attempted (and failed) self repair. As neither Apple nor an Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will now have anything to do with your iPad, you are very much on your own.

Given the age of the iPad, you might be well advised to cut-your-losses - and replace your broken iPad with a more recent model that supports iPAdOS14.
