Sony Xperia Z5 has backlight when powered, but no display. Still vibrates, and responds to touchscreen. I can even answer a call if I swipe in the right spot. Some things have it work temporarily - details inside (please help!)

Hi all, this one really stumps me.

So, there are details in the title. I get light from the phone when I hit the home button, but there is no display. It still responds to all of my inputs.

When I apply pressure to the bottom of the phone, it allows me to turn the phone on for a time (it's weird, because it's almost like it allows me to have the display for that session. The next time I turn it off, I have to apply pressure again). I've come across some visual glitching and issues if I don't press hard enough or in the right spot (it's finicky).

So it sounds like some kind of connection issue, because I couldn't possibly understand how the screen completely works at some points and with applying certain pressure to the phone. I am able to open up the back of the phone, but videos online haven't helped me at all. I'm also scared of local phone support stores trying to rip me off (one suggested I might need the screen replaced...???). If you live in Toronto give me suggestions for a store!

Otherwise, any suggestions or ideas? Sometimes it comes and goes where even if I apply pressure I'll get nothing. I can restart the phone by holding the home button and guessing where the power off option is on the screen.
