Hey, I would say that I was very skeptical on the way you guys were explaining the causes and remedies to remove the white lines on the Iphone. I have a Iphone 6 which suddenly started showing white lines this morning and I did the master reset first as told by you but nothing happened. Now to my surprise, when I further watched your video and the way you pressed the top right side of the screen and suggested that it may work, I did the same and it actually worked!!!! Thanks a lot guys as you saved me I guess couple of hundred bucks and not to mention the time wasted taking my phone to a Apple Store. Kudos Guys!!!!

@Hull Mani if you divided your phone into 4 section going from top to bottom. You would press in the second section. Center left in the second section. If I t dosent work keep pressing going from right to left in the second section. You have to press it just hard enough that you don’t break the screen and also push the connector in
