Help Screen won't turn on when I unlock the screen

Hi.

I recently managed to drop my phone, and the screen went black.

There are no cracks on the inner screen, so I used the volume down and power button to turn it on again, it didn't work the first times, but then the screen came on again.

When I adjust the brightness, it starts to flicker when I get down to 30%, and if I adjust it all the way down, the screen goes black and I have to reboot it.

If I lock the screen I must reboot the phone (volume down and power) in order to make the screen work again.

So now I have to touch the phone every other 10 minutes to prevent it from going black.

The screen makes like a glitching blue light on it when it's black, like its broken.

Could it be the LCD cable that's loose or are there another way around the issue?


Thanks for answers
