I got this Pixel 6 Pro from ebay. The seller said there were screen issues and it was about CA$200. But the issues are more than I was anticipating. Is there any hope? Or should I return?
-
a: bright white line/lines horizontally across the screen -
candb: cracks in the screen with black splotches behind the breaks so nothing is visible -
screen intermittently (but often) flickers. wasn’t able to photograph.
-
It feels like the connection is loose inside. sometimes squeezing it seems to fix it temporarily. but I can’t just be squeezing the device all the time, especially with an already cracked screen.
-
it also flickers in horizontal sections. the part from the white line to the top is the most flickering and the rest of it is divided in about 4 rough sections that display in consistently
-
Do you think a repair could fix it? especially the loose connection issue. I could live with everything except for the flickering which is really obnoxious. but is it possible to make a repair like this without fully replacing the display?
On iFixit the display is listed for CA$300… I would probably not do this myself so add another $50-100 for labor.
It works properly otherwise; there are no dead zones for touch.
Sorry for the crappy photo, the only way I could find to take it was to use the low quality front facing camera on my laptop.
The screen can be replaced. There are companies that may be able to fix it with lasers, depending on the nature of the failure, which may be more financially viable.
