alright so i have an old iphone 3g laying around that had cracks all over the glass. everything else was working fine. i decided to fix it myself and botched the job massively, cracking the lcd screen.
heres what it looks like:
now, it still works perfectly (3g, wifi, multi touch, sound, etc etc) just fine but as you can see near the bottom, thats where i cracked the lcd screen while trying to dislodge it (honestly, all of those youtube tutorials should STOP telling people to pry it from the bottom. all you have to do to remove the lcd portion is just to pull on the tabs on the side and it pops right out. wish i had known this *beforehand*)
now, i am getting multi coloured lines and all the colours on the screen are all odd and inverted. for example if i try to watch a video on the iphone, everything looks like its being put through the 'xray' effect in mac photo booth. i also get flickering lines running left to right as well.
i am wondering though, if only the lcd were damaged, shouldn't i just see bubbly/black shadows and not all of this other stuff? i can't help but think the logic board is now damaged too but i have no idea. anyone have more experience/knowledge who can help me with a more educated diagnosis?
