Q: My phone screen is flashing and looks like an old tv with lines.

My phone started flashing a screen with lines yesterday. Hard to read anything and not able to do anything on it. It fixed itself after I signed into iTunes but can't remember how I got it to even do that. Now it's back to flashing again. Anyone have any advice for me, please? Thank you!

iPhone 5c, iOS 8

Hello kirty05,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are having issues with the image on the iPhone display, the following article should be of use. For the symptoms you are describing with lines, see the section "If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality".
