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

  • c and b: 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.
