Xperia M5 screen flickering

Hello everybody,

I bought an Xperia M5 just a month ago, and I can't use anymore it because of the flickering screen. I noticed that when I cool it down (I use water to stop the overheating) the screen works for some minutes. I don't know what I should do to fix this problem. Please let me know if you had faced the same problem as me. Should I replace the screen or just forget about the phone ?

P.S : The Xperia M5 isn't available in my country so I did ask a friend to buy it for me from Spain, so I don't have any warranty and we don't have a Sony center in my country

Thanks in advance for your help

That's a hardware issue, ocntact your Local support, or in this case, you will have to send it to Spain.

The problem is that my friend doesn't live there anymore Slightly_frowning_Face
I'm just wondering if replacing the lcd screen will fix the problem, I found a screen replacement on Amazon and I'm hesitating to buy it. 
Thanks for your feedback

Unlikely, it's probably the motherboard.

Then I should forget about it. Unfortunately, it'll be my last Sony phone.
Thank you very much for your help
