Hello, I dropped my iphone 3s once and no more images appears in the screen. Some time later I put it to charge and screen light went on, but it shows only some kind of pixel pattern in grey, with vertical white tin lines. At this stage I cannot tell what is wrong. Screen seems not cracked, since backlight went on but nothing seems physically broken. The only thing I can do is to press both buttons at the same time and screen goes black like it turn off. When I turn it on again, I get some weird horizontal lines showing on and off for some seconds, then some color randomly placed lines and then a nice white screen for some seconds before the weird horizontal lines dance begins again, like and old tv with a bad antenna. I will like to have an opinion in this, in order to know what can I do with it since I hate to trow away stuff that can be fixed.
I took off the screen a little bit and the connector #1, and the screen goes black and you must ’turn on’ the phone again. that connector is a little devil, who will umplug itself very easily. But with the connector right on place the problem is the one described. The others connectors, I didn’t remove. They seem well placed.
coursparis this “some kind of pixel pattern in grey, with vertical white tin lines” is pretty indicative of a broken display. Here are the guides iPhone 3G Repair needed for the repair. To find a replacement display will not be easy or cheap.
Nobody? please……
