Root Screen is unexplainably stretched

So I woke up this morning to find my beloved Ally's screen is stretched out so that the top half of the image is stretched to fit the whole screen, and the touchscreen works just fine, as if there is nothing wrong with the image on the screen. I'd take it to Verizon for an exchange but I am running Velocity 1.1 and am not sure how to go back to stock if the screen is virtually unusable... :thinking:

Imagine that the bottom half of the screen was cut out, and the top half was stretched down to fill the empty space.

This is probably the best way that I can explain it.. the screen only shows about half of what it should, and it is stretched out and pixelated. However, the touch screen works as if everything on the screen is where it should be. I hope this makes sense, I'm extremely frustrated haha

Thanks a lot man, I'll give these a try. It'll be a pain in the ass to do all this when I can't read half of what's on the screen, but hey at least today is my day off

Ummmm.... If you get into recovery and your screen is still messed up something is HORRIBLY wrong, and your best bet at that point would be to brick it and send it in for warranty

Apologies for not mentioning this before, but the same problem happens when I am in recovery..

..so how does one go about bricking their phone? Sounds like my only option at this point and I'm not at all opposed to it.
