Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out. My girlfriend's iPhone 4s is displaying flickering red lines across the home and lock screen. Also when the phone is switched off and on, the usual black background with the Apple logo, is a red background with the Apple logo. I have noticed one thing that fixes the problem is a sharp pat on the back, however when switched on from standby the lock screen flickers red.

My thought was that something was loose, so I took it apart to see and back together but to no avail. Maybe there is an error with the screen?

I am asking you guys because her plan is to trade the phone in and upgrade to the 5. However a "working iPhone" would get her approx £160 trade in value, but with this screen problem they'll only give her £40! Now my issue is, if it just needs a screen replacement they are as cheap as £20.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
