My Pixel 2 began having a problem where the screen would freeze while audio continued for about 10 seconds at a time, then one day it froze and didn’t unfreeze, and when I locked the phone, the screen stayed black. I know that the phone is still operating normally, as I can use Google Assistant to control bluetooth, and if I remember where buttons are, I can tap them and feel the haptic feedback. Also, I can view screenshots on my computer, so I can kind of see what is happening in the phone, but the display won’t turn on. I would assume this was a broken screen, but it seems odd to me that touch works perfectly fine. Is anyone familiar with this issue? Update: I just found out I can make the screen turn back on by pressing really hard on the left middle of the screen.
So was the device damaged at all? because this sounds like the LCD got damaged. the LCD provides the image on the phone,
