I've replaced my battery on my Pixel 3a, but for some reason the screen does not come on after reassembly.

I've tried my damnest to be careful, and I'm afraid I've killed it in the process. Some "lines" have appeared on the screen after removal.

Here are pictures of one of the line, and the connector to see if things are wrong.

Thank you for your help.

As for the title, after battery replacement it appears a dead android robot and the text "No command" Right after the google logo during booting. Surely something went wrong during replacement...but what?

The phone is not recognizing when a usb cable is plugged in and, therefore, does not charge. I have check the usb connector which is good and I'm using known good usb cables.

The phone has always been in excellent condition except for a crack in the glass which is why I replaced. I decided to do the battery while I had it opened up. I can't figure out why changing the battery display would affect the charging?

I've just replaced the screen on a pixel 3a but in the process I accidentally dug too far and the power button (and possibly the sound button) no longer works and it won't switch on.

I opened it up and I think I've chipped a little off the circuit board by the power button which could explain it. The case is a little chewed up around the area too.

The new screen works however but I can just no longer switch it on.

I'd like to save it if I can but I will have to see how likely it is and how much it would cost.

Do you think this is fixable?

I've included shots of where I broke the board and where it came off.

It could however be something different but the power button was working fine beforehand.
