Why does my replaced screen look like a still static of random colors

I have an HTC One m8 and the screen cracked so I replaced it and when I power it on. The screen is only a random static of multicolored pixels. The screen works and everything and has haptic feedback when I touch things on it and unlock it by sliding but the screen is just messed up.
 
Try to reseat the ribbon cable if you can.

If that doesn't work, the new screen prob is broke. Could be DOA

I've had this same problem. Unplug and replugging everything back in and I recommend putting kapton tape where the board isn't supposed to touch the back plate cause I think something might be shorting out
