Does the old screens Backlight work on it? I ran in to this issue a few times on a 3GS. and if you know the screen you ordered is working 100% let the iphone die then connect it to the PC and let it charge the Backlight should come back on if not. then Try the old screen to see if the backlight works on that.

Ive had this before a few times and a Hard reset always got it going again, but you could also check and make sure the backlight on the new screen works because alot of the time there defective.
YOu might also check for corrosion on the connecter where it plugs in, if you see some just clean it with alcohol and a q-tip. Good Luck!
