IPhone – What does green screen on 3gs mean

iphone

The iphone 3gs went off (did not use it for a couple of days). I attached it to its power cord but all I can see is green screen.

Tried resetting it with power_btn+home_btn, but still the same. tried connecting it to pc usb via its cable, and it did not help either.

can anyone help?

You could try connecting it to a PC or Mac and use iTunes to restore the device. It's not likely software is causing this, but you will know if the rest of the phone works and possibly fix it without needing to take it in for hardware service if the display function is broken.

You won't be able to tell if it's the screen or the cable or the video subsystem without replacing parts or getting into the hardware to at least reseat the cables but this is most likely a hardware failure.
