Why is there horizontal lines on my screen and how can I fix it?

[wavvvy]

So I have a Samsung J3 phone and I've had it for over a year. I am very clumsy and have dropped it many times. This time when I dropped while listening to music the screen had horizontal lines on it. It also has vertical color lines on it. I don't know what to do. Should I not use it? Should I let it be? Should I be VERY careful???

Sounds like the LCD is damaged. Using it will probably increase the issue. You could check with a local repair shop, but the repair cost may be more than buying a new J3.

I'm going to stop using the phone for now and address the issue with my mother. I've been talking to her about getting a new phone anyways since my phone is cracked severely. Thanks!
