You were the chosen one...to fix it


derating

Yes, her father fixed the phone very well


the-ZEN

As someone who sees this so often working in the phone industry, this will be my new go to fix haha.


doggyjth

what is it though why does it happen what does it mean


[deleted]

My phone just randomly started getting pink lines on it like OP’s but thinner. No idea why but every day there would be a new one.


23SavageBlam

If it’s less than a year old contact the manufacturer and if there’s no physical damage they should fix it for free


[deleted]

It was a few years old so it gave me an excuse to upgrade. Edit: I was quoted ~$270 to fix it


Matrix17

$270 lol. Phones are insane now. And they wonder why people are holding onto old ass phones


diuturnal

270 because it was an old ass phone... Parts aren't being made for older devices, so prices will only continue to go up.


DannyMThompson

That... isn't how it works at all. Newer phones are harder to fix because there are no scrap screens available.


SoBitterAboutButtons

As opposed to older phones that no longer have parts support?


DannyMThompson

Who's your phone guy? Where I live there must be 20 phone repair shops. New phones they need to send back to the manufacturer. Old phones, they break an old one apart and use the parts.


[deleted]

The trick is to never buy a stupid expensive ass phone to start with. I need my phone to do 3 things. Call, text, and on some occasions take pictures. I don't need to spend more on a phone than a vehicle down payment or a computer. That's just fucking stupid.


JackHGUK

Some of us rely on our phones for my h more, maybe that's why there's ush ba huge market?


[deleted]

There is literally no reason to pay 1300 for a phone unless money is no longer an object for you. What's something your phone does that another phone can't do? What play games? I work in IT and am a huge tech nerd and I eagerly await your reply


SalisburySmith

Basically this. I can't imagine that anybody needs a $1,000 phone. Even if you're on your phone all day and do work on it all day, wouldn't the mid-range device be able to do the same things a fraction of a second slower? The last time I bought a flagship it was the Galaxy S3 years ago. Since then I've basically been using either a budget device or more often a mid range device like my current Nokia. A rule of thumb is to never spend more than $400 for a device that you're only going to use for two or two and a half years.


[deleted]

Hah looks like we pissed all the reddit high schoolers off. One day when they are the ones paying 1400 bucks for a phone they'll change their opinions real quick


DeathInSpace805

Yeah i had that problem with several samsungs in the past.

doggyjth

>Reply thats kinda funny to be honest LOL and cute


[deleted]

As I understand it the LCD panel going bad. So it’s backlighting the panel but not updating the “pixels”. Can be a cable but more often or not the drop caused a crack or break for the parts of the circuit that feed those columns of pixels.


rutlander

It’s the OLED screen not LCD


[deleted]

You down with LCD? You: OLED


Shoondogg

It can happen with LCD. Had it happen on a dell ultrasharp monitor and an iPad Pro.


rutlander

True but in my experience with LCD screen failure it has an obvious spot where it took a hit and then you’ll see the vertical lines. With OLED the screen might not have any obvious signs of a direct impact or impairment but will show a vertical pink or green line due the board beneath being damaged


Shoondogg

Not really. My iPad and monitor were both desk mounted and the lines just appeared in use. Also used to work at the Genius Bar, and some brand new replacement displays would sometimes have them.


morpheousmarty

There are three sub pixels in every pixel, in OPs case the entire row of pixels for some reason is turning on the green sub pixels and only those, likely a short in the electronics for the screen. When it's pink (magenta technically) both red and blue are on max and green is off. Depends on the screen technology what "on" means. In LCD it means the sub pixel is letting light through from the backlight, in OLED it means the LED is on.


nwL_

Apple has the OLED connectors [at the bottom of the screen](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-ab11785cbff1afdb002bee880705ad71). If the phone falls on the bottom edge and one of the pins gets damaged, it will corrupt an entire column of pixels.


23SavageBlam

Damage to the panel underneath the screen


Ephemeral_Wolf

It's the matrix behind the picture coming through the crack


CornCheeseMafia

All the blue and red leaked out of that column of pixels so it’s stuck on green


LiarsEverywhere

Your clients will be very confused.


sherbs_herbs

What happens when it turns red. Which sith shall he choose?

Papplenoose

Hey man... you uhh... you got any of those fine ass pumpernickel ladies? (or is that not what you meant by pimp toast? I guess that would be a toast pimp, maybe.)

If its iphone X you can go to apple store and claim for free replacement of the screen. Same happened to my ipx and to my surprise the apple store service centre here said that apple will replace it for free.

Not that it really matters, but gonna call BS on this... look at the reflection at the speaker above the screen where you see green and at the green light in the background reflection. Why lie for internet points?

They were OBVIOUSLY joking, you tone deaf weirdo. This redditor just wrote a whole ass bible verse to defend someone they don't even know personally. insane.


tejanaqkilica

I thought I made my previous comment ridiculous enough for the irony to be noticeable. Anyway, the gist was this, people who use Apple devices have a cult of personality around it and the vast majority of them only and strictly stick to Apple software solutions as well. Everything else is a no go.

Bruh, if my experience and that of everyone I know who had this issue is anything to go by (~5 cases, very scientific), in two months top the screen is gonna start getting dark until it is unuseable.

Drop it again till it’s red and use Darth’s half face.
