Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My iPhone 5 only shows white lines on the screen. I'm unable to restart or anything because that is all that appears on the screen. I had read that it may be a loose connection, but all the connections seem fine. What could be causing this?
Hardware failure.
Why does it look like something is broken on the left side?

It looks that way because I separated the screen from the body to make sure that it wasn't just a loose connection. This is before the phone was put back together.
Bummer. You realize you have voided the warrany, right?
Yes, I know. I was just hoping that it would be a loose connection because I had seen elsewhere that white blocks at the top of the screen meant a loose connection. This started as that and then went to full black screen with the white bars and blocks. How does Apple know I opened the phone though? Is there some tell-tale sign?
They will know. Trust me. There are tamper proof seals inside the phone.
A replacement is going to cost you $229.
