Accidentally thwapped my phone. It now has a line of white pixels in the middle that came up some time after thwapping. Heard this can be cleared with a lighter flame to the bottom. Is this true?

    That sounds like the connection itself to that row somehow got fucked up. A flame probably isn’t going to fix that.

    You can put a flame to a screen for a few seconds and they are usually fine. But really, you should be looking into a screen repair or a new/used phone.

      Just get a new screen kit online. For most phones, they’re fairly reasonably priced. (But not Pixel, not even a 5 from 2020).
