My galaxy s3 shows colored lines?

A

AC Question

Hello, So one night I was on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and then it randomly started flashing like paparazzi flashes. (I've never dropped it or had it in water) So then I tried to turn it off I turned it off and then tried to turn it back on and then it showed these colored lines which were sometimes on the left of the screen and sometimes on the right. I've tried factory resetting but I cant get past those damned colored lines.

(Note) When I plugged the s3 into the charger it booted up! but the phone screen was still black and I could press things and attempt to enter my password (which i've forgotten) I heard the notification dings and everything) I also saw the blue led indicator and the red led indicator. So I take it that this is a sign that my phone isn't completely dead?

Any help will be appreciated!
