Fixing an LCD that flickers when pressure is applied on certain areas?

My phone is Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC

My phone has an IPS LCD display, not AMOLED.

When I put pressure on the phone's screen somewhere around the bottom, the screen jitters and spazzes out, sometimes it completely blacks out.

However, even though the screen is blacked out or jittery, I can still touch stuff on the screen. (I can hear hear the sounds in-game that correspond to that part of the screen)

Aside from that, the screen is in pristine condition. (no scratches or crack)

I would like to know if it's possible to save this screen because when I look at reviews for replacement LCD panels, people are complaining it isn't the same quality, and I don't trust I'll have the same Gorilla Glass quality and color grading when I buy aftermarket replacements.

I was wondering if this issue could occur due to a loose cable inside that I can re-seat? Or what other options do I have aside from replacing the whole display unit?

Hi xiaoman,

Without knowing which model of phone you have, I can't give you specific information, but in the meantime I'll offer what knowledge I can.

First off, yes, it would definitely be well worth your time to open up the phone and check the internal connections. There is a small possibility that the connector to the motherboard has come unseated, although I personally see that as a pretty slim chance; the screen disassembly procedures I looked at for a few different models seem to indicate that the connectors are reasonably well secured by midframe components held in place with either adhesive or screws.

Personally I believe it's more likely that the screen itself has sustained some minor damage that's not visible to the naked eye; there are delicate connections between the flex cable and the circuit paths built into the LCD glass itself that can come loose and are not repairable.

So yeah, you'll want to locate a screen replacement guide for your specific phone and follow the instructions at least to the point where you disconnect the display. Unplug it and check both sides with a magnifying glass, then clean them with 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol and reassemble. If the symptoms are still present you might be able to pin them down by gently pressing on various parts of the screen before you reattach it to the midframe; if you find a particular spot on the display that causes the problem, then you've pretty much proved that you need to either resign yourself to living with it, or replace the screen.

If you want to post your model information, we may be able to give you more information and possibly suggestions on where you can get a decent quality replacement.

Good luck; let us know how it goes.

EDIT: Okay, now that I know what your phone is, I can give you more information.

First of all, there are two distinct ways to replace your screen. In the first, the replacement screen comes with the frame already attached. Unfortunately, that means everything inside the frame - meaning every single part inside the phone - must be transferred to the new frame. This has the advantage of not having to remove the screen from the frame and replace it.

Which brings us to the other method, of just replacing the LCD itself without the frame. That means you have to carefully detach the LCD from the frame then resecure it with adhesive. It leaves a lot more to chance, as you have to make sure it's sealed well against liquid ingress and glued down well so it doesn't come off again. The advantage here is that not having to replace the frame means much less work removing parts and swapping them to the new frame.

So it's a trade-off, less work on transferring parts vs. dealing with the delicate LCD. The LCD without the frame is marginally cheaper to buy, but the screens I've seen available are pretty cheap compared to some of the screens on newer model phones, so that's not a significant factor in my opinion.

I'm pretty experienced with phone repairs, so personally I would probably go with the LCD alone, but I feel replacing the frame as well is a safer option for assuring the integrity of the LCD placement. Of course, if your frame is bent, scuffed or damaged, that would help sway the decision.

I didn't locate a guide to just the LCD replacement, but there are several YouTube videos available; it's easy enough to find them with a quick search. Here's a guide I did find that shows the procedure for replacing the frame; it appears to be well done and complete.

The screens themselves are readily available; here's just one example I found on AliExpress that comes with or without the frame and got good reviews as well.

That should get you going. After reviewing the screen replacement guide, I'm pretty sure you're going to end up needing to replace the screen, but like I said, it's worth checking first.

Oh, and if you replace just the LCD without the frame, be sure you purchase precut adhesive for the screen, and in either case you'll need new adhesive for the rear cover and likely for the battery too. I always buy a couple of each; they're cheap and unfortunately easy to mess up so having a spare on hand is a good way to avoid having to wait while you order a replacement if you make a mistake.

Sorry, I tried to find my phone's model but it isn't listed on the iFixit so I just chose the generic "Xiaomi Phone" category. My phone is Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC

Am I right in understanding that if I go with the "frameless" option, the harder one, I can get to keep the original gorilla glass that came with the phone originally?

@xiaoman No, the LCD is bonded to the glass and requires specialized tools and expertise to separate, then more expensive tools to rebond. I've had good luck with aftermarket screens; they generally use a high grade of glass and many of them do use Gorilla glass themselves. You'll need to check the listings you find carefully if that's a requirement; you should be able to find an OEM replacement or one that specifies that it uses Gorilla Glass.

Can anyone help me? My realme 6i has the same problem but inversed, so when i put some pressure at the bottom of my phone the flickering dissapears and also my touchscreen starts to work perfectly.

Without the pressure the flicker and touchscreen problems appears instantly.

It Is possible to fix It? Maybe It Is because my phone (second hand) looks a little bit curved like the shape of a "C", perphaps i could put some weights on it...? Thanks for any help that i can get!

Hi Juan,

I don't know if straightening out the frame will fix the pressure problem, but I would agree that it's the place to start. However, I personally wouldn't attempt it unless the display has been removed first, as there's a significant risk of breaking the glass if you flex the frame with it in place.

So I would strongly suggest removing the screen first, then manually straightening out the frame and checking with a straight edge, then replace the screen and reevaluate.

If the problem is still there with the frame nice and straight then most likely either the flex connector going from the motherboard to the screen has suffered some kind of damage or stress or the connection between the glass and the flex cable could have loose connections, which aren't repairable unfortunately. In this case you're probably looking at having to replace the screen to fix the issue.
