After screen replacement, everything is upside down!

[palalisimo]

Hello!

I recently changed a cracked display on my l7777.
When I turn on the phone everything works just fine, including all tests using *#0*#.
But if I lock the screen or it locks itself after some time, the screen is upside down, really bright, and the touch inputs are reversed, for example to pull down the top bar, you have to drag from the bottom. Also sometimes crashes the *#0*# test or it shows failed.

Im not sure what is causing this, I tried apps that force the screen to certain rotation, but they barely work and the touch inputs are still reversed.
Sadly I only have access to limited technical support (I live in Bolivia) but I was wondering if there is any way to fix this, if the phone works perfectly on start up, maybe someone knows how to remain like this, what happens when the screen is locked?

Thank tou very much in advance for any help

Sounds like the digitizer was inverted somehow when the screen was replaced.

I would say, go back to the tech that replace it for you and tell them to fix it at no charge. But if you were the one that did it, I would suggest to go to someone that know how to do it.

Thank you, is there any way I can check if this is what has happened?
I cant take it back, Im afraid they could make more damage, and there is no good tech service near me, I have searched a lot.
Is there any way I can do this myself?
I was hoping that since everythings works ok until the screen locks, there may be a software fix for me.

You can do the repair yourself. I'm sure you can find a YouTube video to walk you through it. It might be worth it to tear it down and then rebuild it so you can make sure all the connections are secure and nothing is binding. There is not a lot of space inside, and it's easy to bind the ribbon cable.

Good luck!
