Z5 display/screen issue

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some help and advice ! Long story short (will try), I purchased a used z5 with a display/screen issue (I guess).

The first owner told me he dropped the phone and that screen was cracked and not working anymore, so he brought it to the repair store... they replaced the screen with a new one, but they told him that the new screen was broken / dead on arrival, and that they would order a new one to replace it again. The guy couldn't wait another month to get is phone back working again, so he quit with the phone like that and purchased a used samsung.

I purchased the standard sony z5 from him. The screen have color lines in it... sometimes purple lines  on the left of the screen, all from top to bottom, sometimes it's different (like right now it's alonost all white), but It is not usable, I don't see anything useful on the screen.

The phone seems to be working though because the flash/photo work with the lower button on the left side... there is an alarm after midnight on it (I wake up like an idiot the first time it came up, trying to stop the alarm, but fingerprint is not mine and screen is not working... I was at the hotel, and it was loud... I think it waked up everyone in the other rooms around me before stopping it with power/fingerprint + volume up ;p)

So, I'm wondering if there's only the screen to replace again (with a good one), or if it's worst...

Does anyone know about that kind of issue, and which kind of screen would you put on it ? I want to put a good quality one to use the phone after that.

Thanks in advance for any help and advices !
