Drunk, Dropped phone, now screen flickers.
DO NOT DRINK AND TEXT!

So last night I was really drunk....ended up dropping my phone and now when I tap the bottom portion of screen or press the HOME and left arrow button it flickers to different colors but responds fine.

Replacing phone through Sprint/Asurion is not a option.

So does anyone here know what is causing the flicker so I can just repair it myself. Do I need LCD or just the screen digitizer? THANKS

Since I am on MetroPCS im pretty sure Sprint will not replace my phone.

That happened to my phone, but I've never dropped it or anything. Mine is in the bottom right hand corner of the phone, touch part. I'd think their might be wires or something getting pinched. Because I believe that part of my phone popped up or that's how I got it, so I can push it down a little, but not sure.

Sorry I can't be of much help. I lied, I was just playing with my phone and it's a pretty big portion of where it does that.

Edit: Actually mine only does it when I kind of push hard or something, if I lightly touch it to where it will work, it's fine, but when I push a little harder it will flicker and when you hold it, it does a lot more. haha Good luck, I might be interested in knowing too.

I just need to know if I need the LCD or digitizer replaced. I can do the rest.
