Okay, so...this is the issue I'm having.
Abruptly (I HAVE dropped the phone in the past, haven't we all, but not recently) my phone has started producing thin silver rectangles at the very top edge of the screen. It started with one, and now it's up to four, they're exactly the same size. They seem to be reflective, and are more visible in dark light.
They're visible even when the device is off, so it's clearly hardware.
It's probably not worth getting a screen replacement on such a cheap phone (but it's only a year old, so I'm quite irritated. JUST out of warranty). Is there anything that *would* be worth trying? Is this likely to spread so my phone becomes unusable? (Budget is not there for new phone, but personal safety requires working phone).
