Accidentally thwapped my phone. It now has a line of white pixels in the middle that came up some time after thwapping. Heard this can be cleared with a lighter flame to the bottom. Is this true?
Try putting it in the microwave.
That sounds like the connection itself to that row somehow got fucked up. A flame probably isn’t going to fix that.
You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or a new/used phone.
Where did you hear that setting your phone on fire works fix the screen? Out of curiosity.
Dunno, but I heard some were that you can fix your phone by microwaving it.
This recharges the bars, too!
(/s, if it was t obvious. Don’t microwave yer phone.)
This is the kind of equipment you need to fix your problem.
A lighter does not have the precision to do it unless you are insanely lucky.
You could try using some steel wool
If you try , make sure you film it.
If pressure from your fingers doesn’t fix it, a lighter won’t either. You’ll need a heat gun to remove the screen to fix it anyways, so you’ll find out what heat does to the edges (where these faults occur) regardless.
Only because doing that will force you to buy a new phone.
