Yayra Asare, what did you do then? I dropped mine today and same issue. Please let me know if you found a solution or had to get the screen changed.

Alright, I dropped my iPhone 6s and first the bottom of my screen wasn't working, then lines started appearing, then my screen and the phone somehow started to disconnect. So today I pushed them back together and then 4/5 of my screen went black with nothing but lines in that 4/5. And now, my screen is glitching. For example, the lock screen has the time and date, right? Well, I'm seeing 2 pairs of that! Please help, should I go to the Apple Store to get it repaired or...?!

I dropped my Iphone8, for me the entire left side isnt working, luckily while I was still able to get in the phone with touch ID I used the new app library to go to settings and turn on certain things for siri like making it so I can talk to her in the lock screen, I was also able to push some of my apps around with just the left side to be able to back stuff up on certain apps I needed. If anyone has the same problem I would recommend trying to trouble shoot and do something similar. VERY IMPORTANTLY, get rid of your passcode if theres any way to before things get worse. I personally couldnt take it off because two of the number are on the left side and I have to put it in to take it off in settings. I tried to restart the phone as a way to fix it and it was hard enough to do that because I couldnt swipe from the left so I had to hold the lock button for probably 30 seconds. Now I cant get in my phone and all I can do is tell siri to call or text people. I think this issue has to be fixed professionally

Glassing pushing up from phone? Usually top right?
If yes then screen most likely needs to be replaced.

You'll need to get the screen replaced. Note that if the iPhone housing is dented inwards on the corners they'll need to be bent back beforehand.

i have the same problem and i have done literally everything and nothing worked pls help

is it that the screen is the only need to be replaced? Because repair shops keeps on telling me to replace the lcd and screen at once.

I just had this happen with the iphone 8 plus and if you swipe up the home button twice it will bring down the screen so you can put in your pass code but it doesnt fix the screen and and you have to have this feature already enabled to bring down the screen

I was just searching for that answer because I did it by accident a few minutes ago. My phone is locked for an hour after doing a soft reset, so hopefully it will work for me. I have to click the 9 before doing it.

Screen replacement.
It might have damaged the LCD, so you may need to get that replaced as well. Screen replacements are relatively easy, they're cheap on EBay and since it's a 5, you don't need to worry about the Touch ID cable. You'd need to transfer the home button.
The iPhone screen is made of layers. Underneath the glass is the Liquid Crystal Display, which is responsible to for the touch and the display of images.
To know if your LCD is broken, there would be out-of-place lines, blurry or black spots or a black screen.
Only do a screen replacement if you know how.
Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think that it's a quick fix by pressing a few buttons, but you should definitely take it into an Apple Store or third-party repair shop. (Usually cheaper)

I dropped my iPhone xs max and it cracked but top half of the screen wont respond while the bottom half works. There are two possible ways you can fix it yourself or get through the problem. Bring down the screen with swipe down. Also you can open your phone and check the internal if your the screen cable attachment is all connect because if one attachment is loose or unattached certain part of the screen will be unresponsive. If these still not work the i recommend getting your phone fixed because your lcd or oled part might be damaged or it might be the display censor is damaged

Thank you Brian Lu for the answer I was looking for. I feel like everyone says the same answer every site I go to but in my case Im trying to fix a iPhone I just replaced. Ive replaced the screen on it in the past at least 5 times and vow to never waste money for that phone again. Except now I need to access old saved passwords and had to find a good enough trick like checking wires to get what I needed done Your suggestions were exactly what I was looking for. Simple, free and quick

how much would it cost to get fixed?

This is not a solution nor a trick but just a thing you can do, first turn on reachability (if youre able to) It will help a lot since most of these peoples phone is only affected at the top. After you turn on reachability just swipe down from the bottom of the screen, youll be able to do most things because the top screen is being dropped down to the bottom. If you have a second device you or device you can borrow check if your apple device still has warranty or apple care, If you have either of these things you will be able to fix your phone for free! I suggest you go send your device to apple or go to your local apple store to see if they do their own repairs. If you dont have any of these things you can still get your device fixed but you will have to pay a fee.
