There are guides on iFixit that will show you how to remove the screen. Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Display Replacement As someone else said, rice doesn’t really do anything besides make a huge mess. To clean corrosion that has built up on connectors use some isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a toothbrush to clean any corrosion from the logic board. Use a hair dryer after brushing the logic board to get rid of any moisture then attempt to connect the screen again. If the problem still exists then there is likely either damage to the logic board or the screen.

Unfortunately it’s likely not a software issue. If you said the screen is touching itself (Ghosting) then that likely means it’s a hardware issue with the screen itself. You may have just gotten a bad screen. If the phone is still under warranty then I would suggest you back up what data you need and claim the warranty on the device.

I don’t have a lot of familiarity with this model but check to make sure you aren’t putting pressure on any of the connectors or cables. Pinched cables can cause problems sometimes. Also, there might be something pressing on the screen causing it not to work. A bent frame can sometimes be the problem.

As you mentioned in your comment, yes their are different sized screws for the plate. Personally I have always gotten lucky when I have put the wrong screws in the wrong place but I have been told that doing so can damage the device. It’s possible that’s what happened here. One other thing it could be is the new battery. I know that might sound crazy but Apple devices seem to do very odd things when they have a bad battery. Even though you got a new battery, sometimes you can get a bad one. If you still have the old battery I would try connecting it again and see if that fixes the problem. Also, check your connectors and make sure there are no bent pins or any particles on the contacts. If both fail, then it sadly means that you’ve probably done irreversible damage to the phone.

Most repair shops have resources other than iFixit for obtaining parts. Most of these 3rd party vendors have different quality options however they most likely won’t be the true quality that you will get from a genuine Apple part. Really the only way to get genuine Apple parts is to either take the device to Apple or and Apple Certified Repair Shop. With that said, if you can live with what will most likely be a lesser quality screen (you may or may not even notice a difference) then I would say it might be worth taking it the a 3rd party repair shop. Honestly, I don’t think Apple needs any more money from it’s loyal customers after they have already pried hundreds of dollars more that what I actually believer their products are worth. That’s why taking it back to Apple is so expensive. Apple has to add their own tax to everything. A few things to be aware of however if you take it to a 3rd party. Check what their policy is if they break something during the repair. I honestly believe that if they break somet...

Just my personal opinion, don’t buy another Apple product. Overheating processors, refusing or not being able to fix their own products, preventing the end user from upgrading their system they have bought and own and let’s not forget the way overpriced products. I would diffidently start looking at moving away from them if you can. Windows has a lot of software options. If you must have an Apple product I will say that my Mid 2012 Mac Book Pro is still going strong with an SSD installed. With that said, I will defiantly be moving to a Windows system when it’s time for an upgrade.

Is your frame bent? Apple products can act up when cables get pinched. I have seen this model boot loop when the home button is not connected correctly. It’s possible there is pressure being placed on the home button connector when it’s pushed in.

Here are my personal recommendations. (1) Whenever you are doing a repair it’s always a good idea to disconnect the battery first and connect it last. (2) While it’s possible to change the battery without taking off the screen I would highly recommend removing it. This just adds an extra layer of safety should the screen slip while trying to remove the battery. Apple uses a really strong adhesive. (3) The adhesive around the screen is for water resistance. It’s not necessary however just know that you will loose that water resistance at that point. Honestly, I don’t bother. Even phones that have it still get wet if they are dropped in water. This one is really up to you. (4) This one is up to you. As long as all the voltage specs are the same, the extra capacity means you’re phone will just run longer between charges. (5) I would recommend getting a battery from a repeatable source such as iFixit. You never really know what you’re going to get when you order online so look for a vendor that has a warranty and...

What is your method for removing the back glass? Are you using a heat gun? Two things might be happening here. Either you aren’t getting the back glass hot enough or you’re getting it too hot. Either will cause this issue. It usually goes without saying but don’t use metal tools. Also, if you notice that the paint is starting to come up, stop and move to another spot.

Sounds like you have done a lot of things right here. As long as the corrosion on the board has been cleaned up and it didn’t do any damage to the logic board you might be able to get away with just replacing components that aren’t working. I would honestly take it to a repair shop and see what they think. Some shops will look at the phone and even try to fix it for free. In our shop we will try to fix people’s devices and only charge them if we can. Just ask.
