Samsung s7 Two-thirds of the Screen Goes Black When Phone Is Cold

[Stuu56]

Hi Folks,

I have a problem with my Samsung s7 screen...when screen gets cold the bottom two thirds of the picture on the screen flickers, then disappears going black. The top one third of screen retains a perfect picture. If I heat screen up a bit with, say, a hairdryer, the full picture immediately returns and stays till the screen gets cold, then same problem occurs.

Not sure if this started to happen after being dropped. Quite a few people online with same mystery problem. Someone suggested a faulty connector block to screen.

Any help much appreciated.

Very happy with my 5 year old phone until this fault developed and probably after dropping it. Made unemployed due to Covid and VERY short of money. A new phone is out of the question and a cheap repair is what I'm after at the moment, hence my post for sensible replies with suggestions.

Thanks for taking the time to reply...someone online suggested this...had an offer to disconnect and reconnect it for £30 so may well end up risking it if nothing else is suggested.

Cheers!
