Dropped my phone now I have colored lines on the entire screen

I dropped my iPhone 5c on a hard surface, and when I picked it up I saw pink/red lines across the screen. After I hit the lock button, the screen is normal but after about 10-30 seconds pink and red vertical lines appear across the screen and it stops functioning until I press the lock button again. Is there a way to fix this problem or does the LCD screen need to be replaced?

Is this optional? I can live with the lines in my screen. I just want to know if I dont fix it, nothing bad would happen.

[After I wrote this comment I noticed the lines faded away. You'll be fine. Sometimes they fade away. Just wait.]

My phone fell and it started like blinking with no-colored lines on the screen. I hit it again to see if it stopped, and it did, but then I turned it off for it to "rest" for about an hour. When I turned it on, the blinking appeared again. It still works but sometimes it stops and sticks in the screen. What can I do, rather than changing the LCD display. Plzzzzzz helpp!

The display cable may have come loose, so before you replace the display, follow this guide and make sure that the display data/digitizer cable is properly seated and is not loose. Disconnect the device from power and shut it down before opening, and disconnect the battery before attempting to touch any other connections. Reassemble the device and turn it on. If this doesn't change anything, you can order a replacement screen here.

To tell you the truth... My mom gave me her hand-me-down government phone(getting a phone mabey for Christmas), and she dropped it at the store and claimed her battery was low on her phone. So when I looked at the screen, I saw green, blue, purple, red, and yellow lines going vertical (up and down) on the screen. Fortunately, the phone still works, but it's really annoying that I can't play my minecraft because of this situation.

I dropped my phone and the screen shattered. It still works, but there are color streaks. Is that just a side effect of the cracked screen or is something else damaged too?

It's just a cable came out of the socket all you have to do is go into the screen and make sure all the cables are hooked in properly

Idk, my phone is having gray lines horizontally across the screen. It is the iPhone 5c. I am anxious to go to T-Mobile to get it fixed. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? It happened after I dropped it. It was fine for about five minutes then I was sitting down and the lines were there.
