Understand the symptom before you decide

These details help you protect the phone and give ACPR the information needed for a specific recommendation—not a generic guess.

Colored lines are usually a display warning

Green, purple, or white lines that remain across apps can come from OLED or LCD damage, pressure, liquid exposure, or a display connection problem. A restart can rule out a temporary software glitch, but a line that returns is worth a proper screen assessment.

  • Note whether the line stays in screenshots, the lock screen, and every app.
  • Mention any drop, bend, pressure event, or water exposure.
  • Back up while the display and touch still work.

A careful path from symptom to next step

The order protects the device and makes the diagnosis more useful.

  1. First

    Protect the phone

    Avoid pressing on the display or repeatedly restarting it. Back up the phone if it is still usable, then bring it in for an inspection.

  2. Next

    Confirm the cause

    Display damage after a drop, pressure, moisture, or a failing internal screen connection can cause colored lines.

  3. Then

    Choose the repair path

    Bring the device and the relevant cable or accessory so we can explain a realistic next step.

Common questions

Will restarting my phone remove green lines?

A restart can rule out a temporary software glitch, but lines that remain after restarting usually point to display damage or an internal connection problem.

Can green or purple lines spread across the screen?

They can. Pressure, impact damage, or a failing display can cause more lines or dark areas to appear over time.

Should I back up my phone before a screen repair?

Yes. Back up the phone while the display and touch controls still work, because the screen problem may get worse unexpectedly.
