Hi Peter ! Welcome to the forum.

@PeterO

a flickering display and unresponsive touch screen

This problem sounds more like poor connections between modules, do have other specific problems?

See

FP3 Display freezes! Display noise issue

Hi there. I am back in the game. The display thing happened again today - also after the phone fell to the ground, but hours later and this had not happened the last time when the issue occurred. As I was in contact with the customer support since the first occurrence the phone will now be sent back to the repair center. For the moment reassembling the display helped, at least for the last 5 minutes. I will report back what happens the next few days until the return request arrives.
