Buy a used one on eBay and transfer. Simple.

I have one at my shop doing the same. I believe it may be related to the small piece on the bottom near the home button that requires soldering. It is the same as the iPad Air 2. Did you transfer that piece and solder it onto the new screen? This may be the answer

This is very misleading and not the correct way to open this device. This will damage the backplate and the antennas that are glued together. The proper way to open this tablet is from the front taking the LCD out of the frame.
