Help fixing phone display

[AndrewB121]

The display on my phone (iPhone SE) has suddenly started acting up. Shortly after switching the phone on the screen will go a pinkish colour with lines all over the screen, and then the touch input will stop working. 

 

Is there any way to fix this or is it new phone time?

It could be a loose connector, but more than likely you'll just need to replace the screen. If the SE is like the 5S (which I assume it is) you just need to unscrew the bottom and pop the screen off (carefully being sure to pull up slowly and watch for cables connecting the screen to the board, refer to ifixit's guide (only steps 1-5 because you are only taking off the screen). it is pretty easy to replace the screen but you can try just unplugging the screen cables and replugging them back in first. (Make sure to disconnect the battery).

Ok thanks. I noticed replacement screens are pretty cheap on ebay so I'll try that.
