Hello everyone, I must first thank you all in advance for your time to consider the issue I'm encountering.

Issue:
Out of the blue it seemed I started suffering from the black screen issue, so I power cycled the phone and still had no display.
I took the phone apart to see if it was a small issue of the LCD ribbon cable getting knocked and managed to get to this stage.(See video link below, please excuse the coughing the household has got man flu :D )
Video Link
So I managed to get it to boot up and the screen is very glitchy, the digitizer is fine as shown in the video.
The Punchline
If I've already determined the LCD issue is at fault then why am I asking your kind folk for help you may ask?
I'm asking because I want to be sure it is merely just a LCD fault and not something deeper. I don't want to order a replacement screen only for the issue to persist.
Update:
Navigates settings fine, tried disabling h/w overlay to force GPU rendering but that made no difference. What also happens if I were to swipe left and right again on the app drawer the screen would eventually just fade/burn out to black and not turn on again unless I rebooted.
This leads me to suspect this maybe deeper than a LCD issue and more a hardware issue in regards to the CPU/GPU.
Thank you all for your time.
Kind Regards,
Ryan
