Green Line · what it looks like on Older iPhones
Vertical green or coloured line on screen
Line appeared after a drop
Line appeared on its own / after an update
Full symptom details
  • One or more thin vertical lines — usually green, sometimes pink, white or multicoloured — running top to bottom of the screen.
  • The line appeared right after a drop or sitting on the phone — physical stress on the OLED panel or its connector.
  • The line appeared on its own, or after an iOS update or a hot day — OLED panels can develop the fault spontaneously as they age.
  • The line flickers, changes width, or comes and goes when you flex or press the screen — a panel or connector that's failing intermittently.
  • Touch still works fine and the rest of the picture is normal — the line is a display-panel fault, not a touch or logic-board problem.

How Older iPhones green line actually goes

Counter-level, typically 30–60 minutes. A green (or coloured) line is a fault in the OLED panel itself or its driver connection — it isn't something a software update or a reset can fix, so the reliable repair is a full display assembly replacement. We fit a new screen, re-pair the components iOS checks (on iPhone 11 and newer we pair the display so True Tone and auto-brightness keep working and you don't get an 'Unknown Part' message), and colour-calibrate. If the line was caused by a drop we also check the frame and the display-connector seating, since impact that cracks a panel can disturb other flex cables. The whole job is done at the counter while you wait in most cases. Honest note: the line won't go away on its own and tends to get wider over time, so replacing the panel sooner avoids a single line becoming a half-dead screen.

What we check first on your Older iPhones
  • Confirm it shows on every screen — lock screen, settings, a plain white image — to rule out a single app glitch.
  • Try a force-restart once — on the rare occasion the line is a software glitch it clears; if it stays, it's the panel.
  • Note whether it started after a drop or appeared on its own — both lead to a screen replacement, but it helps us check for other impact damage.
  • Check whether touch and Face ID still work — confirms the fault is isolated to the display panel.
By Older iPhones variant

Green Line differences by variant.

iPhone X / XS / XS MaxBezel-less OLED + Face ID. First-gen Face ID flex is more exposed than later generations — drop damage often needs Face ID component-level repair at Kepong HQ.
iPhone XRBezel-less LCD + Face ID. Single rear camera — different parts tier from XS.
iPhone 8 / 8 PlusHome-button + Touch ID; LCD. Last home-button generation with wireless charging.
iPhone 7 / 6sStill serviceable but parts increasingly on order at smaller branches; Kepong HQ keeps the deepest stock.

“Brought in my iPhone 13 after it took a swim in the pool. Two other shops said replace the phone. SPR Kepong ultrasonic-cleaned the board overnight and it's been working perfectly — that was six months ago.”

SEC-08 / SUPPORT · Questions

Before you walk in.

Common questions. For unlisted cases, contact SPR support directly via WhatsApp.

Q.01Where can I get Older iPhones green line near me in KL or Selangor?[+]
└─ SPR has 16 walk-in branches across KL and Selangor — Kepong, Uptown Damansara, Puchong Kenari, Sri Petaling, Taman Segar, Setapak, Mahkota Cheras, Pandan Indah, Ampang, Mid Valley, IOI City Mall, Sungai Wang, Maluri, Equine Park, Taipan USJ, and Kuchai Lama. No appointment needed. WhatsApp us a photo of your Older iPhones first to confirm which branch has parts in stock for green line.
Q.02How long does Older iPhones green line take?[+]
└─ 30–60 min at most SPR branches for Older iPhones. Walk in without an appointment, or WhatsApp us first to confirm parts at the location nearest you. All Older iPhones variants are covered: iPhone X · XS · XR · 8 · 7 · 6s.
Q.03What does Older iPhones green line cost in Malaysia?[+]
└─ We don't post fixed prices because cost depends on which Older iPhones variant (iPhone X · XS · XR · 8 · 7 · 6s), the parts tier you choose, and whether any secondary damage is involved. WhatsApp us a clear photo of the issue and the exact model — we send a free quote within minutes. No charge for walk-in diagnosis.
Q.04What warranty does SPR give on Older iPhones green line?[+]
└─ Every Older iPhones repair includes a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor. Bring the device to any SPR location for warranty work. Motherboard and water-damage repairs carry shorter warranties due to the unpredictable progression of underlying damage — we explain the terms before any work starts.
Q.05Can a green line on my iPhone be fixed with a software update or reset?[+]
└─ Almost never. A force-restart is worth one try because on rare occasions the line is a software glitch, but a true green / coloured line is a hardware fault in the OLED panel or its connector, and no update or reset fixes that. The reliable repair is a display replacement. If anyone promises a software fix for a persistent line, be cautious.
Q.06My iPhone green line appeared on its own without dropping it — why?[+]
└─ It happens. OLED panels can develop a line spontaneously as they age, and it's often triggered by heat, a knock you didn't notice, or sometimes after an iOS update stresses the panel. The cause doesn't change the fix — a display replacement — but you don't need to have dropped it for this to happen, and it's a known issue across many phones.
Q.07–10More questions (4)▾
Q.07Will True Tone and auto-brightness still work after a green-line screen replacement?[+]
└─ Yes — on iPhone 11 and newer we pair the new display to the phone, which keeps True Tone and auto-brightness working and avoids the 'Unknown Part / Display' message iOS shows on an unpaired screen. We pair every display replacement as standard and test it before returning the phone.
Q.08Do you still stock parts for iPhone X / XR / XS?[+]
└─ Yes — at Kepong HQ and selected branches. Smaller branches may need 1–3 days lead time. WhatsApp us your model and we confirm stock at the branch nearest you before you travel.
Q.09iPhone 7 / 6s — still worth repairing in 2026?[+]
└─ Battery and charging-port repair: usually yes if everything else works. Multi-fault repairs (e.g., screen + battery + Face ID) on 6s or 7 in 2026 are usually not cost-effective vs upgrading to a refurb iPhone 11 or SE 3rd gen — we give you the honest comparison free during the diagnosis.
Q.10iPhone X Face ID broken after a drop — fixable?[+]
└─ Face ID flex on X / XS / XR is repairable but moves to component-level work at Kepong HQ. Free diagnosis tells you whether it's the dot projector, the IR camera, or the flex itself; some severe drop damage on the projector is non-recoverable, and we tell you that before charging anything.
