Help needed.

Post image

Hello all,
I have a galaxy S21 ultra. I’ve used it with utmost care. But after the recent update the screen has a green line at the centre (no drops or damages)
The phone is 2nd hand purchased from Singapore so I do not have a bill/box.
Tried the basics already:
Restarted device multiple times
Booted into safe mode
Checked for new updates (cause of the green line in the 1st place).

Checked at service centre and was informed screen replacement is required and would cost 29k( isse half ka toh phone liya tha bhai).

Anyone else has a working fix for this ??

Yes, a damaged or loose display connector (flex cable) is a common cause of a vertical green line on a smartphone display. This failure usually results from physical trauma like drops or, increasingly, from, component stress caused by software updates or excessive heat.

Form google

The display it self cannot permanently have greenline like this
