Understanding the nature of the damage can help you decide whether you need to replace the screen or just fix a small issue.
- Cracked or Shattered Glass: This is the most common type of damage. It doesn’t always mean the screen is entirely useless, but it can be a pain to use and can lead to more damage over time.
- Dead Pixels or Black Spots: A series of black or colored spots may appear if there is an issue with the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panels beneath the glass.
- Touchscreen Problems: If certain parts of your screen no longer respond to touch, it may mean the screen’s digitizer is malfunctioning.
- Distorted or Flickering Display: A flickering or distorted screen may signal an issue with the phone’s internal wiring or LCD/OLED panels.
