Dark Blue Screen After Replacement. How to fix?

I broke my iPhone 5C screen and waited a month to get a new screen shipped from Hong Kong. Once I got it, I replaced the screen myself. I finished and the screen was dark blue trying to light up. I figured it was a bad screen. So I ended up ordering another screen (this time from the US) and was able to have someone else replace it. The same thing happened. Dark blue screen. I have asked around local repair shops and they can't seem to figure it out. The only thing they suggest is a hard reset. Is there a way to avoid that and fixing it a simpler way?
