A71's screen unusual line damage.

[Nabski]

I just wanna share and ask if any of you who uses Samsung A71 experienced this. This phone didn't drop hard and wasn't abused when using. I rarely stay on the phone for too long since I am working. But yet, these lines pop up every now and then. Is this case isolated or a lot of you experience this? Ay

If you're experiencing lines appearing on your Samsung A71's screen, it could be due to various factors, including:

1. Display hardware issue: It's possible that there is a hardware problem with the display itself. This could be caused by a loose connection, damaged display components, or even a manufacturing defect. If the lines persist and are not caused by software or temporary issues, it might be necessary to have the device inspected and potentially repaired by a professional technician.

2. Software glitch: In some cases, software glitches or conflicts can cause anomalies on the screen, including lines or artifacts. Make sure that your device's software, including the operating system and apps, is up to date. You can also try restarting your phone or performing a factory reset (after backing up your data) to see if it resolves the issue. However, note that a factory reset will erase all data on your device, so proceed with caution.

3. Environmental factors: External factors such as extreme temperatures, moisture, or pressure can sometimes affect the performance of electronic devices, including the display. If you have exposed your device to any of these conditions, it could potentially contribute to the appearance of lines on the screen.

Regarding whether this issue is isolated or widespread among Samsung A71 users, it's challenging to determine without access to specific data or user reports. If you suspect it to be a widespread issue, it's recommended to search online forums, community websites, or reach out to Samsung support to see if other users have reported similar problems with their A71 devices.

If the issue persists and affects your ability to use the device properly, I would suggest contacting Samsung support or visiting an authorized service center to have your device examined and repaired if necessary. They will be able to provide you with more accurate information and assistance based on your specific situation.

Hi, I am experiencing the same issue. A vertical white line suddenly appeared in the middle of the sreen of my A71. I did not drop and I barely use this phone. What's the best thing to do here?

[Jamie1415]

Man, I've seen like thousands of complaints about this same issue, and Samsung just ain't doing squat to fix it. It's so annoying, like I'm tired of searching for answers and all I get is the same useless stuff. And guess what? It happened to me too! I baby my phone, never even dropped it, and outta nowhere, bam! A stupid vertical white line right smack in the middle of my A71. I'm beyond frustrated, seriously. And all the staff just keep regurgitating the same useless answers. This is gonna be my last Samsung phone, no doubt. I'm so over it.
