Guys, I've cracked my iPhone screen a couple months ago, and since I live in Brazil and the screen is pretty much expensive I decided to keep it cracked until I had some money to repair it, but something really weird happened, I was using the phone and suddenly in the screen appeared several stripes (ok I've seen it happen before whit iPhones that felt and cracked, but they appeared when they cracked not after) so, is it normal?
So the lines appeared some time after the incident but they have since gone away? If the lines are still showing then you can either;
1a) Apply slight pressure with your finger on the top right of your phone (If its a iPhone 5 or above)
1b) Take the screen off and put it back on, one of the connectors may have come loose after the incident.
1ba) If that does not work then either one or more of your connectors are damaged which means you would need to solder new parts on the motherboard but if the connectors don't seem to be damaged then you'll just need to get a new replacement screen.
If the lines are no longer showing then there is nothing to worry about as of yet but if they do then follow as above, or just hand it over to a professional
