I got this Pixel 6 Pro from ebay. The seller said there were screen issues and it was about CA$200. But the issues are more than I was anticipating. Is there any hope? Or should I return?
-
a: bright white line/lines horizontally across the screen -
candb: cracks in the screen with black splotches behind the breaks so nothing is visible -
screen intermittently (but often) flickers. wasn’t able to photograph.
-
It feels like the connection is loose inside. sometimes squeezing it seems to fix it temporarily. but I can’t just be squeezing the device all the time, especially with an already cracked screen.
-
it also flickers in horizontal sections. the part from the white line to the top is the most flickering and the rest of it is divided in about 4 rough sections that display in consistently
-
Do you think a repair could fix it? especially the loose connection issue. I could live with everything except for the flickering which is really obnoxious. but is it possible to make a repair like this without fully replacing the display?
On iFixit the display is listed for CA$300… I would probably not do this myself so add another $50-100 for labor.
It works properly otherwise; there are no dead zones for touch.
Sorry for the crappy photo, the only way I could find to take it was to use the low quality front facing camera on my laptop.
The black is screen cancer. It will spread and eventually the entire screen will be destroyed. Sorry, man. I wouldn’t ever purchase a phone with issues like that again.
Based on the cost of the screen plus what you paid for the phone, I would return it. That being said, I just replaced the screen on my pixel 6 pro with the kit from ifixit. It was unbelievably easy to do, took me about 45 minutes total and was the first time I have ever tried a screen replacement.
Pixel 6 pro did the same thing, flickered below the line. Slowly got worse until nothing displayed below the line. You need a new OLED
The screen is broken and dying The black spots will just get bigger It needs a new screen Try returning it Then get on Swappa
dude why no custom rom
custom rom is the reason I spent so much time trying to get a pixel.
but I am giving up on this one. next device is going to run lineage so I can have a wider variety to try to find one that works. maybe I’ll try a motorola.
