Lines/flickering on newish screen iPhone 6s

So my iPhone 6s has lots of colored vertical lines and it flickers a little. (New screen) This is like my 8th screen or more this year and i’m so over it at this point. its been fine for about the past month or so but stared today keep in mind this is refurb oem screen no cracks Nothing of the sort. Phone is ok per the pic of my test screen Any tips would be great i’ve asked the seller for some help too as I removed the warranty sticker (the day after purchase because cables wouldnt line up) Any help would be great at this point i’m about to throw the phone out the window

At this point, if a known-good test screen works fine, then the issue is with the replacement screen. Lines like that can also be caused by an improperly connected screen…or a damaged connector on the logic board which would have the same symptoms. You may want to take a closer look at the condition of the connectors, both on the screen and on the board.

Where are you getting these screens? I ask because while you say they are OEM refurbs, it’s surprising to see that the screen has no small parts installed (Prox/FCAM bracket, ear speaker mesh). That’s usually indicative of a low quality screen. A vendor that prides themselves in selling a premium OEM refurb screen would most certainly put all of those parts in.

Seeing as it is an iphone 6s I would check with a ruler for a bent chassis. That is a known issue that can cause lines and general touch screen issues!

I actually posted another picture it's only a screen issue as I tried 2 screens. I'm more interested in fixing the actual screen. The phone itself is actually apples revison of the touch ic issue with the iPhone 6. I Appreciate the input though!

That's a fault residing from the screen cables or display being defective. It's not something that can be fixed without a screen replacement.

It is quite fixable or there wouldn't even be a market for screen refurb. Was just hoping someone knew a little more about it than myself
