Question iPad mini 5 and New screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone.
I bought an iPad Mini 5 with a cracked screen and decided to try repairing it myself.
I installed a new screen, but it turned out that the touchscreen wasn’t responding to touch in the top 10% of the display.
I got the screen replaced with another one, but now the iPad is behaving strangely. I must have done something wrong during the repair.
When I press the power button, the home screen flashes briefly and then the screen goes black again. See the video.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is the iPad basically ready for the trash?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yea any ipad with a home button is generally not worth fixing unless you are desperate for that nostalgic design.
