Accidentally thwapped my phone. It now has a line of white pixels in the middle that came up some time after thwapping. Heard this can be cleared with a lighter flame to the bottom. Is this true?
God no. Don’t be stupid.
Obviously this won’t work.
But please try it anyway and report back.
Try putting it in the microwave.
I heard the latest update makes it microwave-proof
That sounds like the connection itself to that row somehow got fucked up. A flame probably isn’t going to fix that.
You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or a new/used phone.
Where did you hear that setting your phone on fire works fix the screen? Out of curiosity.
probably from “a tiktok”
Dunno, but I heard some were that you can fix your phone by microwaving it.
This recharges the bars, too!
(/s, if it was t obvious. Don’t microwave yer phone.)
If you try , make sure you film it.
This is the kind of equipment you need to fix your problem.
A lighter does not have the precision to do it unless you are insanely lucky.
I doubt it. Maybe, but the chances of damaging it further are much higher.
If pressure from your fingers doesn’t fix it, a lighter won’t either. You’ll need a heat gun to remove the screen to fix it anyways, so you’ll find out what heat does to the edges (where these faults occur) regardless.
Thwapped
Wut?
I spent solid 10min writing an useful answer and then looked up. Now I want my 10mins back.
hint
Just wipe the screen clear from the goo, dummy.
Only because doing that will force you to buy a new phone.
You could try using some steel wool
