Many use mobile devices from Apple. They are convenient, functional, reliable, beautiful. But whatever one may say, this is a technique with which everything simply cannot always be in order. Any gadgets are prone to breakage. Manufacturers primarily rely on a beautiful appearance and functionality, paying little attention to the safety of devices. One of the most common complaints on the iPhone is a strip on the screen. What causes such defects? What to do with them?
The reasons for the appearance of stripes on the screen
In the case when smartphone users complain about such a problem, they do not mean the appearance of scratches on the glass surface. These distortions occur directly in the picture. The stripes can be vertical and horizontal, but this is not very important.
There are four main reasons why a defect appears on the display. White streaks on the iPhone screen appear due to:
- Software bugs.
- Disruptions in the contact of the display loop.
- Breakdown of the microcircuit (the controller that is responsible for the image transfer).
- Moisture on the screen.
Next, all the reasons why this defect occurs on the iPhone - a strip on the screen, as well as how to identify them and bring the device back to life will be described in detail.
No need to wait for image defects to disappear on their own after some time. After all, the violation can be very serious. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately contact good specialists.
In order to get rid of problems with the screen, first of all, you need to determine the reason for the failure. Before contacting the center where cell phones are repaired, you can independently carry out the initial diagnosis of the device.
Software crashes
Sometimes the stripes on the screen occur due to some kind of malfunction in the operating system of the phone. In some cases, a regular reboot of the device may help. If after this the problem persists, then the reason is different.
Often failures do not occur in the operating system itself, but in a single application. For example, a user launches his favorite game, and at that moment stripes appear. In order to eliminate such distortion, it will be quite simple to close the application.
There are more serious violations that are irreversible. It may even require a complete flashing of the iPhone. Doing it yourself is not recommended, since you can download dubious programs from the Internet that will only finish off your smartphone. It is better to contact a service center if you are not self-confident.
Software update
So, the first thing to do is to eliminate software malfunctions of the device. If on the iPhone the bar on the screen is blue, gray or yellow, then you need to try to update the software or return the smartphone to the default settings. These actions can be performed without resorting to specialists.
In order to make an update on the phone, you need to go to the settings, then select the “General” item and click on “Update”. Next you just follow the instructions.
Another way is to connect the smartphone to the computer, open iTunes and select a software update.
To restore the factory default settings, you must also connect the device to iTunes in DFU mode. To do this, the smartphone is connected to the computer, then the Power and Home buttons are pressed to reboot, after which the power button is released until “Recovery mode” appears on the display. Next, select the "Restore" item. If on the iPhone the strip on the screen does not disappear, then you should contact the service center.
What you should not do
You do not need to believe those virtual “professionals” who claim to have restored their phone without any problems thanks to some simple program or a regular video. Most likely, by downloading what they recommend, the user will receive malicious software that can only spend a lot of nerves and a lot of money to restore.
There are other types of breakdowns. Symptoms are slightly different. Most often, vertical stripes appear on the iPhone screen, which are white. Most of all, Sixes are subject to this problem, as their body is very thin. But on the fifth model, quite often you can meet a similar malfunction.
Serious device violations
If the contact of the screen loop is violated, then most often the cause is a smartphone crash or hit. In almost half the cases after this, you can see that streaks appeared on the iPhone screen. In the case when the cable does not break, but only leaves, the problem can be solved quickly. It is necessary to open the phone and return the item to its place. To carry out such work requires good experience and a special set of tools. If you carry out repairs yourself, without experience, you can simply break the display connection module along with the cable.
The device microcircuit fails for the same reasons: shock, fall. But it can be damaged due to excessive pressure on the screen, which also leads to damage to the glass.
Moisture
This problem is the most common cause of stripes on phone screens. First of all, you need to remember how long ago moisture got into the device. After all, if this happened, then every hour is important. If not much time has passed (up to three days), then the repair is likely to be quick, and there will be no negative consequences. But if water got into the phone a week ago, then the process of corrosion definitely began. For this reason, the device needs high-quality diagnostics, as well as cleaning. Only masters can do this, for whom cell phone repair is a professional activity. This problem cannot be solved independently.
Summary
There are many reasons for the appearance of stripes. If you try to test each version in practice, then you can only harm the smartphone. There is no need to experiment with an expensive gadget, spending both money and time. It is better to go to a good service center where the wizards will help to restore normal operation.
