Dropped my phone, screen flickers black now.

My phone slipped off a table onto the floor. All the features seem to be working fine (I'm posting this question from the phone now) except that touching or applying any pressure to the back makes the screen flicker and turn black.

I have to repeatedly press the power button for the screen to turn on again, even though it still turns on and can detect inputs ( I let it black out with youtube open, the video kept playing after blackout and I could even play another video despite habing no display.

Need to know if this is a major issue? What should I expect when getting it repaired?

Update (02/19/24)

I've also just noticed a slight seam in the casing. Pressing down/massaging the area seems to cause the screen blackout.

It sound like the display is damaged. A possible screen assembly replacement could fix this issue if it's just the screen that's been damaged.

SOLVED: It was a minor issue with an AMOLED display connector falling out of alignment due to the fall. The phone was able to be fixed within a day or so at a service center, though the actual repair time was quoted to me as taking about an hour or so. The faulty connector also had to be replaced completely which set me back RM120 (Approx. 30-40USD).

The main takeaways are that damage to a connector (at least on this model) can take time to fully brick your phone, and if you suspect it's occurred it shouldn't be difficult to seek repair quickly. Also a warning that the A52 5G seems especially sensitive to fall damage as the internals were damaged though the casing and screen were unharmed. All in all I'm glad to have my phone back and I hope this experience helps others in my situation!
