The main issue faced by many current smartphone users with OLED screens is either burn-in or green lines. While there are remedies for the first problem, green lines still remain a dreadful nightmare for some smartphone users.
It is not uncommon that when a screen is afflicted with the “green line” issue, the smartphone’s resale value plummets. Moreover, whether the problem is covered by warranty or not varies, as some brands may give up on fixing it altogether. Fortunately, there is now a solution.
Green Lines on OLED Screens Can Be Cured with Laser Technology
As shown by Scotty Allen, the host of the YouTube channel “Strange Parts,” there is a laser technology that can be used to fix the green line issue on OLED screens, even while the screen is turned on. This technology is relatively new but appears to be able to fix all kinds of green line problems on OLED screens.
Most green lines appear due to pressure on a specific area or physical defects. As a result, the cost to repair them is quite high, and manufacturers often set exorbitant prices for replacing the OLED screen with a new unit.
Repair centers can partially fix some green lines by replacing the flex. However, this is not a solution for all cases. If the issue lies not in the flex but directly in the screen, the laser technology can be very helpful.
The green line issue occurs because of an uneven or damaged trace, causing a continuous green line. By using a type of microscope, the green line can be fixed with the help of a laser that directly targets the source of the problem.
Effective for Fixing Green Line Issues on All OLED Screens
This tool doesn’t only work for iPhones, as suggested by the video’s title, but also for all screens that use OLED panels. They claim that with this tool, all problems on OLED screens can be resolved (as long as the screen is not severely damaged).
Although this tool is undoubtedly expensive and may not be affordable for small repair shops, it’s undeniable that medium-scale screen repairs can now be done without relying on manufacturers. However, this is only applicable as long as the smartphone screen is not cracked or permanently damaged.
