Hey Piper, it is possible that the LCD connection is slightly loose, I would suggest disconnecting the battery, and then reseating the LCD connectors, and then connecting the battery. If this doesn’t work, it is possible the backlight in your display may have been slightly damaged, and will require a new screen to fix. I hope this helps!

Best of luck, Alec

Hi Piper,

Did you end up figuring out how to fix the light?

I dropped my phone and the screen didn't brake but now I have that same strip of light on the bottom of the screen. Hurts my eyes.

You can damage the LCD and not the Digitalizer, which is what looks like happened. a new screen should fix it.
