Help! Vertical lines on the screen - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, so I recently have a problem with my Mi Max 3 and that is there are vertical lines appearing on the screen. Long story short, it fell off my bed when I was sleeping. I found the phone beside the floor of my bed, the screen was facing the floor. Everything seems functional. But for some reason, when I press the “middle” of the screen or lock the screen (press the power button) the vertical lines almost disappear. Now I have researched the problem but I’m not sure. My question is, is something loose or broken? Or something else, comment down below, any kind of help is appreciated

Either the display cable popped off the board or the display ribbon tore off the display. One is fixable without parts the other needs a new LCD.

Reaplaced screen, now its turning white.

Hey, so i replaced my screen the other day and it worked fine until today when it suddenly started turning white. When i turn the screen on my it looks completely fine, after about 5 seconds a white shadow starts to appear in the background and slowly starts to make certain parts of my screen white. I opened the phone again and looked at all the cables to see if something was loose, but did not see anything wrong. Do any of you know what could be wrong?

Before you replace the screen the phone was normal? It can be LCD itself, someone with more accurate knowledge can help you with this. Better luck!

Yeah, well the screen was shattered but not white. I put on a screen protector and maybe pressed to hard... :/? and suddenly there was some white lines that got worse and worse kind of similar to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI64Bcf8OiE

Could this be saved?

The screen has cracked for a very long time but still functional. Just now, it fell once again and then a white-ish thin line appeared at the very right corner, but I ignored it as it does not disturbed me. Few hours later, I think i put a little pressure into this pressure (But I'm pretty sure i am not, because my the only thing i did was to put it inside of my jeans pocket) and poof! Half of the screen cannot be seen clearly (refer picture). But still could function as in I could still use the touch screen mode at the affected area. Could this lcd screen problem be saved without replacing the lcd with a new one? Replacing it is my last resort if I could save it DIY. Help me, thanks!
Yeah, sure, via a software update. That'll also give you wireless charging, but only if you charge the phone inside the microwave.
You've cracked the screen! What sort of DIY fix you assume can exist, besides replacing it?
tired of cheap ebay screens, what replacement screen do yall recommend?
OnePlus RMA. It isn't overly expensive.
From memory, it was around £90 for me.

Does anybody know what this connector is for?

Opened an M8 to find this (circled and with the red arrow pointing at it) disconnected:

it connects to the bigger motherboard ( the one with the cpu and other stuff) connect the two wires so they dont cross each other
Thanks but that doesn't answer the question.
It's connecting the daughter board to the mother board.
It's hard to tell what it does exactly without proper documentation, you could unplug them, power on the phone and see what doesn't work.
If I had to take a guess then I'd say they might be connectors for the antenna or gps.
Thanks. I think you are right. I got a second M8 from Amazon and GPS hasn't working. When I opened it I found that disconnected at the MB end. Connecting it and powering the phone up resulted in a GPS that locks.
I thought it was for the SD card, mine stopped working after i had replaced the screen and didnt know why, when i disassembled it again to check this wire (or the one next to it) was popped off the connector.
I always thought GPS was the little tab on the very top that touches the frame once assembled (unless that is just to use the frame as an aerial)

Random Screen Discoloration

Hi S9 screen has random discoloration at times. It is not damaged like in the example pic I have shared and the entire screen is the similar green color. If I press the power button and wait for 5 10 second and turn on the phone it's back to normal. This behavior is completely random.

i dont see anything wrong with that at all
its the ribbon cable from the gpu to the display panel. its going to intermittently do this until it eventually fails. The failure could come in 2 weeks, 2 years, 2 decades or 2 millennia. These dang samsung panels are so all over the place when it comes to their longevity after physical damage, its hard to tell you how long you have before its a goner
