It’s finally happened, my OnePlus has been through with me thick and thin, but this is the second time a screen has broken. The first was a major break, this time it’s just a row of dead pixels, it was really dim until I did a dead pixel repair program, that seemed to make it worse by unlocking whatever pink hell this is and making it fully kill the line of pixels. IDK. This is a OnePlus 8 pro, the one I got before they killed software support only 3 years in and the last “root friendly” one they made.
Think it’s worth it to get another whole screen and attempt a repair? Or rather sell it as is and try to get an upgrade.
End of an era I swear
since you don’t have another phone, I think the risk is too high to repair it. It’s the best option for sure (for the planet and for your wallet), but if it breaks you don’t have a phone at all.
That being said, if you want to learn how to repair phones, you can live with loosing the money for the screen and if you can live without a phone for some days in the worst case, I think you should still go for it. It’s a great skill for the future.
I mean I’ve definitely got the skill, I’ve been doing it for years now, I just don’t know if it’ll be worth it to repair another phone that has no official software support
