iPhone 12 mini screen suddenly turned off-white/grey, but phone still seems to be working
Hi everyone,
I have an iPhone 12 mini that has been working normally and is in good condition. I was using it as usual when, all of a sudden, the screen changed to an off-white/grey color. I can no longer see anything on the display.
The phone itself appears to still be functioning:
- The sound/vibration when switching the silent mode on and off still works.
- I tried a force restart, but I cannot see the Apple logo on the screen.
- I allowed the battery to completely drain and then charged it again.
- I know the phone is charging, but I cannot see the charging/battery icon.
- I tried turning it on again, but the screen remains completely off-white/grey.
- There was no gradual display problem or warning before this happened.
Is this likely to be a display failure, a problem with the display connector, or could it be a software issue?
Is there anything else I can try at home to determine whether the phone itself is working and the issue is only with the display?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
