Diagnosing Screen Problems

Prior to attempting any DIY fixes, it is important to try to figure out what the exact problem is.

  • Touch issues: Restart the device if the touch panel is not working. If none of these solutions work, you might have an issue with the gadget’s internal parts.
  • Flickering / Lines: Next, make sure you have the iOS update installed and test for conflicts with any apps. Continuous flickering is typically due to a defective display.
  • Cracks or Physical Damage: Check the glass and the digitizer separately. Minor cracks can expand over time.
  • Battery and Heating Check: There are screen issues because the battery is swollen or overheating.

At iPixsmart, we perform a free diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause, so you know what needs repair.

It depends on the problem, screen repairs may involve:

  • Screen Replacement: Fix cracks without replacing the entire display.
  • Full Display Replacement: Necessary if the touch, backlight, or LCD is damaged.
  • Digitizer Repair: Restores touch sensitivity without affecting the display.
