Hi, recently I bought an iPhone 4s second hand,
Everything seemed fine after activating it until the screen suddenly faded smoothly to black with a red line across the lower regions of the screen, of course I checked if it had just locked but it needed to be started again via holding the power button and waiting for the apple logo.

It has done this several times over the past 30 minutes and I'm out of ideas.

And I'd prefer not to restore as that forces you to update, in this case to iOS 7, which I bought this phone second hand to specifically avoid, it's on 6.1.3.

I really don't know what to do and I just want to get it fixed.

If anyone has any ideas on what might help they would be very appreciated..
Thanks.
