What should I do if there are streaks on my phone screen?

Stripes on the phone screen - the problem is very common. The main trouble is that such a malfunction can appear at any time: on the day of purchase or after several years of use.

However, despite the frequent occurrence of the problem, there remain owners of devices that do not know how to solve it.

What a defect looks like

The main thing about what it is worth remembering is that the display does not lose efficiency after detection of a malfunction. But this is not an excuse to throw the device in this state, because only the owner of the smartphone suffers from the incorrect functioning of the smartphone. If there are bands on the phone's screen, the image quality drops, so you'll have to exclude reading and watching movies (few people like to "break your eyes"). That is, the availability of such a device will no longer make sense.

The defect is manifested as a distortion of the contents on the display. It ripples and goes in stripes (horizontal or vertical) of different colors: from black to iridescent overflows.

Classification

This section can indirectly find out the cause of the failure, but it will be rather inaccurate. However, it's worth a try.

• For example, colored and white stripes on the phone screen - often a sign of mechanical damage to any component of the display or a loose insertion of the cable into the groove.
• Black lines indicate the need to replace this part of the smartphone.
• Color ripple speaks of a problem with the controller.

However, without opening the case, such "diagnoses" have no confirmation, so here either help from their own hands or service centers.

How is the defect manifested

This section is also important, as it will make it clear to which part of the device (hardware or software) the fault is. Here everything is quite simple:

• If the streaks on the phone screen appear only when you run a specific application or make any changes to the settings and files of the device, it's because the operating system crashes.
• When the lines go through the display after mechanical intervention, damage or touching the touchscreen, you can safely talk about the problems in the hardware itself.

After determining the type of malfunction, you should proceed to the methods for solving it.

The bar on the phone screen: what to do?

If the problem is caused by mechanical damage, there are two ways: to carry the gadget to the service center or to disassemble it yourself. In the latter case it is worth looking for a master class in video format, where it will be shown how to open the case and get to the display. Next, you need to carefully inspect this part of the gadget to understand the extent of the damage.

If the problem is only in the loose insertion of the cable into the groove, then it is simple enough to fix it, and the stripes on the phone screen will disappear. But in the case when he or the controller (chip) is spoiled, nothing, except complete replacement of the components, does not remain.

In case of a software failure, the situation usually corrects a hard reset (resetting the settings, during which all personal data is deleted, it is recommended to save important files before execution) or cleaning smartphones from viruses. Although the first method is more reliable, since many programs to protect the OS do not see the pest.

It also helps to flashing the device, but this item is best performed only by people with experience, otherwise the gadget will turn into a "brick" by the wave of a hand. Although this is also an option, then the display malfunctions will worry the least, but you should not experiment.

Causes

The bands on the phone screen appear in a number of situations, because a modern gadget is a very fragile thing. Among the common reasons is the following:

• Strong pressure on the display;
• Kick or fall from a high altitude;
• Penetration of moisture (provokes corrosion of microcircuits);
• Viruses that leaked into the system with untested applications;
• manufacturing defects;
• Failure of the controller;
• A break or a loose loop;
• Overheating when charging;
• system failure;
• Unsuccessful flashing or installation of an update.

And this is not all the possible factors that lead to a breakdown. If the smartphone is assembled from substandard parts, then it's enough just to shake it - and voila! Something inside will go away. Therefore there are dozens of nuances, all of them can not be predicted.

Precautionary measures

To avoid such unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to observe the elementary rules of using the technique. Smartphones can not be dropped, wetted, recharged with an unsuitable adapter, disassembled unnecessarily. Do not give them as a toy to young children, and also install applications from suspicious sources. An even better solution is to install a program that blocks advertising, then the phone will not be affected exactly.

And of course, it is worth acquiring high-quality equipment. Otherwise it's pointless even to be surprised at another breakdown, because nothing else the owner of such a "miracle" expects.
