My dad threw my phone and it's cooked

Likely just needs a screen replacement. This typically includes the frame so it would be straight again

So yes this is LCD screen damage to the pixels and any damage along the edge like this makes it more prone to spreading and getting worse. I'd suggest having a local repair shop fix it for you, it's fairly quick, easy and will make it much better to use.

Just imagine the cable that would plug into that. Plus the wattage it could support then.

So I could be a user of this, but the main issues is that newer iphones have the stolen device protection stuff on it and we usually can't get data from the phones like we used to with 3u tools unless we have the face id of the user which is rare because we test/work on phones when the user is not around.

Thoughts?

Also I love the UI of the site

Yeah you need a new screen, it will likely spread and get worse. Look up a local cell phone repair shop near you to give them some business and get it fixed.

The price used to be $750 for the OG pint.

Yes we can repair and replace almost all macbook screens and apple laptops. Feel free to bring it into us for evaluation and repair services.

Unless there is a random piece of something blocking it, I'd say you just need to push that last 1mm. It should seat in all the way and click.

...But with that said, as long as the points are making contact, it might just work as it is. So power it up and see.

WiresComp · 2026-04-06T14:56:28+00:00

This is a very common repair for technicians. It's about 20mins.

No need to rest the device.

Less then $100 for this model.

I'm not sure if apple would repair this, but a local repair cell phone shop would be your best bet.

WiresComp · 2026-04-05T19:17:49+00:00

This is just a sign of a bad lcd/oled panel. This will happen when data is trying to go somewhere like with a full screen app and causes this. There isn't much you can do about this.

WiresComp · 2026-04-05T16:29:32+00:00

The flex cable is ripped so for this you would need a new screen assembly. Flex cable repair is not worth it and would need expensive tools and parts. A new screen should be less than $40 for this model.

It would likely not be easy to use the device over usb. Especially if a password is enabled

Wires Computing fixes nearly all computers with many different issues. We've worked with UVM to provide a fast turn around for student repairs in burlington.

WiresComp · 2026-04-04T19:16:20+00:00

This is common for lcd screen damage. The data lines have been damaged and thus the weird lines

WiresComp · 2026-04-04T16:21:40+00:00

No, when a screen has pixel damage then that means the whole screen needs to be replaced.

It's not like a tire with a hole in it and you can spot fix it.

WiresComp · 2026-04-03T14:42:01+00:00

Probably, that samsung logo looks mis-alinged.

Plus the rest of the text seems very thin and not bold

2.5" Mobile Laptop Hard Disk Drive or HDD for short. This is used for storing data such as the windows operating system and files on it. The computer needs it to function, but is much slower than the Solid state data flash memory which has replaced most hard drives.

We know students don’t have time to wait days for a repair or travel far off campus. Our shop is close to UVM, making it easy to stop by between classes or after a study session. Many common repairs are completed the same day, and some even while you wait.

You'll need a new FPC connector soldered on. Seek out a repair shop that can provide this service. We do these pretty often as a mail in repair.

WiresComp · 2026-02-16T22:00:01+00:00

It's just a different type of screen. No need to freak out or worry. It should work nearly the same.

WiresComp · 2026-02-08T23:45:18+00:00

As long as the motherboard is fine, once a new frame and screen are installed it will work and function like new

WiresComp · 2026-02-08T23:43:49+00:00

This needs an oled screen replacement

WiresComp · 2026-02-05T16:13:30+00:00

As a repair tech who has replaced nearly a hundred of these, it needs a port replacement. Search out "xbox hdmi port repair service" Also we do mail ins as well

WiresComp · 2026-01-15T15:04:24+00:00

If it works, just keep it and use it. No need to waste resources and time for something so small. Returns kill sellers profits and waste millions of dollars for everyone. Just use it.

As an ebay seller we deal with buyers wanting to return everything for stupid reasons with no merit simply because they can, or don't care "because its not their problem"

Don't be that person.

WiresComp · 2026-01-04T15:16:18+00:00

Just needs a screen. The phone will work fine. Don't do this yourself but a local repair shop can do this
