Hi all,
Replaced the screen on my Pixel 7 Pro with a genuine replacement from ifixit about 6 months ago. Old screen was a bit scratched up as I don't use a screen protector, but not subjected to any trauma. New screen has been working fine until this afternoon. I thought the Nova Launcher app was just being buggy, but it demonstrated the same symptoms when booted in safe mode too.
Device works fine until you bump it (eg, drop it, horizontally, from 1cm onto a mousepad). Screen goes black, and flickers yellow/displays a yellow line at the top of the screen. Definitely seems to be caused by a mechanical means..
I can feel it vibrate when I touch the home button location whilst the screen is black, and it will continue playing music, so it still seems to be functioning just fine.
It's resumed working the last few times, but now, I might've just killed it whilst writing this thread by testing my theory..
Any thoughts? Remove screen and re-seat connector?
