BSOD and Stuck in Recovery mode Error 9

I was changing my screen because mine was broke. I reconnected all the wires and the phone worked fine. I was able to start up and check messages and everything.

Then when i pressed it all back together the screen flashed blue and was stuck in boot up loop.

I got it into recovery mode and tried to restore from itunes but did not work. Then, i put in DFU mode and tried again still didn't work.

I also tried tinyumbrella and a few out programs to get out of recovery mode.

Is my motherboard fried? I feel like it is a hardware problem seeing that all i did was reassembled the phone then it turned off. Maybe something just came disconnected. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.6

I have fully dissassembled phone and cleaned all of the connectors but still just stuck in recovery mode.

If the logic board is bad will it even turn on? Trying to diagnoise which part might be bad before i start buying replacement parts..

Has anyone had a similar problem?

When i do a recovery on a mac i get error 9. When i do it on a pc i get error 14 (or 17 can't remember)

Same thing happens with both. The phone gets half way through recovery then flashes blue screen. Then restarts and back in recovery mode.

The description clearly points to hardware failure.

Since the iPhone has been opened by you, Apple will not provide any type of service.

I'm experiencing this trying to recover from BSOD. Mine is a two month old iPhone 5S 64 GB, never opened, never serviced. I'm a 15 year apple user and I think I'm done. No reliability is the biggest risk to business.

This blue screen of death comes in a couple flavors, but this one is the "long screw" variant. If you accidentally mix up the screws that secure the LCD shield during the final assembly, you could be unlucky enough to have the long screw in the screw bracket on the bottom right side of the shield. This bracket is meant for the short screw, forcing the long screw to tighten will punch through the bottom of the screw bracket and rip off a layer of the board underneath. Unfortunately seven key traces lie directly under this bracket. If they are torn = blue screen. I have repaired it, but man, that is a pain. The whole diameter of that bracket is on the 0.1 mm, with seven individual traces that must cross it intact. There are a few others that have fixed it as well.
