welcome to AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you reboot your phone? is that the homescreen in the pic? did you drop it? or was this out of the blue, just happened randomly?

The screen is busted. Repair or replacement required.
Yeah that's a hardware issue that must be fixed at a shop

I think that is the home screen or lock screen (should look the same). I accidentally spilled water on my phone, so that might be the cause...

I see...hope it can be fixed without replacing it haha
yep that is a hardware issue. was water spilled on it or was it submerged in water?
it is water resistant:
did you drop the phone?
Take it to a competent phone repair tech, and see what they say.

I forgot to tell you..the screen is already a replacement because i dropped it, and it is not an original one so its not fully water resistant anymore. Water was spilled on it
Turn it off: if moisture got into it you want to minimise current flow to reduce further damage.
You can try drying it: a couple of days in a sealed container of dessicant such as silica gel or home solutions like uncooked cous-cous or rice. If you are very lucky that might be enough, at least in the short term (e.g. what you see is a symptom of a short circuit caused by water). But water damage is nasty, and insidious. So as has been said, take it to someone competent to assess it, but be aware that it might be a lot worse than "you'll need to replace the screen again" (e.g. the mainboard may be damaged). There's a reason phones contain moisture sensors and the warranty is void if those are activated.

It seems that it's not a problem with the screen that is damaged, but rather a damage to the CPU IC.

Thanks guys!
What happened? Did you get it fixed? Or did you get a replacement?
