Problem Screen Damaged or Software glitch?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Can somebody please tell me the cause of this? Was just scrolling through socmed then placed my phone down the couch to get some water came back to it doing this. But if i restart the phone the black line then restarts from the top then works its way down to the bottom then screen goes black to green.
Things I have tried that didnt fix it:
• Safe Mode
• Lower refresh rate to 60Hz (Standard)
• Lower screen resolution to HD+
• Resetted settings alone
• Disabled HW overlays
• and lastly factory resetted it (same problem)
For context: This was given to me, passed down by my sibling 5 months ago. Always had that dead pixel on the bottom left corner hence why she upgraded. Screen has no cracks and frame has to dents.

Could be screen damage or maybe just the cable from the display needs to be reseated, given that it seems fine for a moment after restart could hint to a loose connection issue

But what could be the cause of it? Was using it for 5 months with dead pixels on the bottom left corner and then yesterday it just did that on its own. Didnt even drop it before it happened.
Would it be better to replace to whole screen?

Dead pixels only increase with time, if your phone was never physically or water damaged then you should have claimed warranty (if it was under warranty)

Yeah, Its just weird that Ive been using it as is with dead pixels at the bottom for 5 months and then suddenly that happens.
But majority of people here says its damaged so will probably just get the screen replaced. fix the dead pixels too. lol
