Found my 20 year old flip phone in a drawer today

I was cleaning out my closet around 2am and stumbled across my old Motorola Razr from 2005. The thing still powered on with full battery somehow, but the keypad buttons are all stuck and the screen has these weird yellow lines running through it. Is there actually a way to fix this stuff or is it just garbage time for old tech?

That yellow screen issue... did you try pressing on it?

Did pressing on it actually work for you? Seems like a weird fix.

Yeah @sean854 might be onto something with that pressing trick. Sometimes those old ribbon cables just need a little pressure to reseat and the screen clears up. Worst case it's already broken so you can't make it much worse trying.
