Phone screen broken?

K so, I was watching a video on my phone (Huawei honor 7), I had my left headphone in my ear and I was spinning the right one like a retard and I accidentally hit the bottom right corner of my phone (it wasn't a hard blow, nothing compared to dropping it or whatever). A few seconds later the screen started flashing and being unresponsive so I restarted it. It works now but the rightmost 2-3 millimeters have multicolored lines going from the very top to the very bottom. They're 1 pixel wide with a few pixels of normal screen between them. There's also a few horizontal lines like that on the bottom of the screen.

Is the entire screen fucked, do I have to replace it or is there something else that can be done? Also, how much does a replacement screen typically cost? I've never had this happen to me or someone I know so I've got no idea about the price but I've heard that they're pretty expensive

I'd recommend popping over to google and seeing what they can do for you; I've heard the guys that work there know a lot of stuff.

aroseI'd recommend popping over to google and seeing what they can do for you; I've heard the guys that work there know a lot of stuff.

I mean the same can be said to everyone that asks a non tf2 question on this forum but the reason people still come here with various questions is because we more or less know the people in the community and we know that they're trustworthy. Also, someone with personal experience is always a better option than a random article that may or may not be poorly researched/click bait/sponsored content.

At the end of the day, it's entirely up to you whether you choose to open the thread and reply or not

I don't think a lot of people can help with you with this phone because tbh this is probably the first time anyone pn this forum has heard of the phone. Google will help you more

>Is the entire screen fucked
Do the lines look like this? https://duckduckgo.com/?q=multicolored+lines+broken+lcd&t=ffcm&iar=images
If yes, then just replace it.
>Also, how much does a replacement screen typically cost?
Depends. You can order a new screen assembly on ebay for most phones nowadays, there should be guides on youtube on how to do the repair yourself.
Or you can try and find a local shop that will do it for you.
Just watch a repair video and decide if you are capable of doing it on your own, or if you will have to pay someone else because of your technological ineptitude.

Yup, that kind of lines but they're only restricted to a few millimeters along the right edge. I guess I'll try to deal with it if it doesn't get worse. If it does, I'll replace it.
Thanks a lot for the info :)
