Accidentally thwapped my phone. It now has a line of white pixels in the middle that came up some time after thwapping. Heard this can be cleared with a lighter flame to the bottom. Is this true?

Try putting it in the microwave.
I heard the latest update makes it microwave-proof
I doubt it. I’ve seen people try to fix pressure damage with a flame with mixed results.
The frame is potentially warped if you’re able to adjust it, you could luck out. But understand it’s more likely to get worse.
I doubt it. Maybe, but the chances of damaging it is much higher.
This is the kind of equipment you need to fix your problem.
A lighter does not have the precision to do it unless you are insanely lucky.
If you try , make sure you film it.
If pressure from your fingers doesn’t fix it, a lighter won’t either. You’ll need a heat gun to remove the screen to fix it anyways, so you’ll find out what heat does to the edges (where these faults occur) regardless.
No. If you’re lucky, you could take the phone apart and reconnect the ribbon connector that goes from the display to the board and it will be fixed. More likely the display is damaged and would need replaced. No chance a lighter will fix it.
Thwapped
Wut?
I spent solid 10min writing an useful answer and then looked up. Now I want my 10mins back.
hint
Just wipe the screen clear from the goo, dummy.

Where did you hear that setting your phone on fire works fix the screen? Out of curiosity.
probably from “a tiktok”
Dunno, but I heard some were that you can fix your phone by microwaving it.
This recharges the bars, too!
(/s, if it was t obvious. Don’t microwave yer phone.)
Maybe the heat could temporarily do something, but other than that this just sounds stupid. Especially with strong heat source like a flame.
God no. Don’t be stupid.
Obviously this won’t work.
But please try it anyway and report back.
Try thwapping it more.
After heating it with a lighter. 😆
Sounds like trial and error, and you have possibly one attempt.
