My white light of death is much wider than yours. It's so terribly bright that I have to keep a band-aid over it. If I "dim" the screen, that band gets brighter and brighter! I have extensive screen damage though, separation of front and back glass, cracks, chips, and everything was good until about two weeks ago. I dropped it and it landed face down on cement. That's when this line started.
My biometrics and everything else in that area is still working. I have to hit my open apps button often so I can zoom out on the home screen or whichever app I'm using, so I can read what I can't see with the light from hell there. I then have to guess the general spot when "clicking" stuff.
I've been looking for a front glass replacement, but not sure which one I need to get. There's a cheap one for about $10, then there's the $100+ one. I don't know what the difference is and why I would need the $100 one, but I would rather not have to reorder it when I do get one. I already have a back glass and upgraded battery waiting....
