Part 2: Restart iPhone When there have lines on iPhone Screen After Drop

If you’ve got an iPhone X green line after drop, or any iPhone for that matter — you must try restarting it. You see, restarting the device is a great way to shut down the system components and turn them back on to see if they start working as expected.

To restart your iPhone X, XS, 11, 12, or 13:

• Tap and hold the side button and either of the two volume buttons at the same time.
• The Power Off slider will appear on the screen, drag the slider to the right to turn off your iPhone.
• After 30 seconds, tap and hold the side button to turn your iPhone back on.

To restart older models of iPhone:

• Tap and hold the side or top button on your iPhone for a few seconds.
• The Power Off slider will appear on the screen. Drag it to the right end to turn off your iPhone.
• Tap and hold the side or top button to turn your iPhone back on.

Part 3: Put iPhone in DFU Mode to Fix Lines on iPhone Screen After Drop

If you’ve restarted your iPhone but still see blue lines on iPhone screen after dropping, you must try putting it in the DFU mode. The DFU mode is often considered the “last resort” when nothing else works. With DFU mode enabled, you can restore your iPhone even if you see nothing on the screen or it isn’t booting up.

To enter the DFU mode, follow these steps.

• Firstly you need to connect your iPhone 13 with PC and open iTunes.
• Then do as the following instructions:

iPhone 8 and Above

1. Press the Volume Up button, then immediately press the Volume Down button and finally press and hold the Side/Top button until your iPhone turns black

2. When the screen goes black, press and hold the volume down button while continuing to hold the side button.

3. After 5 seconds, release the side button but continue to hold the volume down button until your iPhone shows up in iTunes or Finder.



iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 series

1. Press and hold the Sleep / Wake Button and Home Button (iPhone 6s and below) or the volume down button (iPhone 7) together for 8 seconds.

2. After 8 seconds, release the Sleep / Wake Button but continue to hold the Home Button (iPhone 6s and below) or the volume down button (iPhone 7) until your iPhone appears in iTunes or Finder.


• Click the OK button on the iTunes popup window and then click Restore to restore your iPhone in DFU mode.

Part 4: Press the Screen Down Slightly to Repair Lines on iPhone Screen After Drop

If you instantly see iPhone screen lines after drop, there may be a hardware fault. The display is connected to the logic board through a connector. The drop can loosen out the connector which may be causing the issue.

Pressing down on the screen slightly may make the connector firm again and fix the iPhone X white line on screen after drop issue. But beware, don’t exert too much force or you might do more harm than good.

Part 5: Repair or Replace iPhone Screen

If you’ve tried everything above — and white lines on iPhone screen after drop are still there — you have no other option rather than taking it to an Apple Store. To save money, you can also head towards a local repair shop. But to stay clear of substandard repair services, we recommend heading towards an Apple Care Center or authorized partner.

Conclusion

Lines on iPhone screen after drop are a terrible sight. However, there are many ways you can go about fixing the issue. Before attempting anything, make sure to backup your device using Tenorshare iCareFone. If nothing works, head towards an official Apple Store and get your iPhone repaired.
