SOLUTION!!
Hi everyone!
I am a professional phone repairer from down under and, as everyone else, I too experienced the white vertical lines or the white squares issues.
I have done some research and experimenting, and now I deal with the problem effectively.
This solution is only for lines or squares on the LCD. It's a solution intended for professional repairers; many amateur repairers do damage to the LCD while attempting the repair.
Here come some considerations valid for most of the cases:
1 - The problem doesn't come from a defective screen.
2 - This problem is typically experienced with several screens on the same phone.
3 - The problem arises from static electricity.
4 - The problem doesn't occur often with original screens.
5 - The problem is much more likely to happen with low or deteriorated batteries.
So when I encounter the problem in a particular phone, I follow this sequence:
- Unplug the screen
- Unplug the battery
- Wait 30 seconds
- Brush screen contacts
- Replug the screen and make sure connectors sit properly
- Replug battery
- Test again
I follow this sequence 2 - 3 times at least.
If problem remains unsolved:
- Try a new screen (keep previous screen; it will be good for the next repair)
- Follow previous process again
If problem still remains unresolved and the battery is low or deteriorated (soft or inflated), charge or replace the battery and test again.
- If problem still persists, leave the LCD on the phone and explain to the costumer that the problem will typically disappear after 1-3 days or after recharge. If not, reimburse (hasn't happen to me so far).
Hope this helps someone else.

My phone has two vertical lines on the right side of the screen. Apparently many people are having the same issue. I have read many comments on different websites. Does anyone
know if apple covered this issue?
Is this an intentional defect? Hmmmm....

I went to fix my iphone 5c about these white little squares and they fixed it, and it came back again and they fixed it but it didn;t work, so i think taking it and wasting your money wouldnt fix the problem, i think you should get a new phone instead.

It could be the connector on the logic board. Inspect it and see if any pins are gone or bent. Also try to spray contact spray on the LCD connector on the assemby and the logic board and seat it again. Often the cause is bad connection and movement of the phone could affect the connection if it is not good.

I've got many white lines on my screen I don't know what to do ive tried seeing if I got water in the cracks of my phone because maybe I've got water in my phone sometime when I've to the pool or maybe I've got to much pressure on my screen from the cracks pressing down

My phone has cracks and I'm worried that I may have gotten water or the cracks may be pressing down on the screen because I have lines all over my iPhone screen
