I have an iphone 3gs that is sufferring from screen fade, the image on the screen fades to various shades of pale, almost white sometimes, seemingly at random and the problem has got worse over a number of weeks. Will replacing the screen sort the problem out? I can get a replacement screen on ebay for less than £20 but don't want to get one unless I know it will cure the issue. I realise a lot of people will think a 3gs is old technology but it was my 40th birthday present and I have no intention of binning it.
Any knowledgable advice much appreciated,
cheers Dallas.

Doing a screen swap isn't too tough, but beware the cheapies on eBay as they won't be gorilla glass and will not only scratch really easily, but will get greasy fingerprints whenever you touch it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
