Samsung S7 Edge screen flicker...

Hello all, first post in this forum. I bought a used Samsung S7 Edge in June (private sale), and a couple of weeks ago the screen began to flicker, seemingly randomly. On my phone it is usually 50-80% of the screen that suddenly flickers greenish-white, blurring out the icons "underneath". It stops briefly when I press the power button, but then comes back on. I can turn the phone off by pressing the icons that I can barely see through the flicker. The phone seems to be functioning fine other than the screen though. However, it is unreliable and generally unusable.

I've seen videos online of the same problem with this model, but there doesn't seem to be a known fix. I've tried the different boot options and have also done a factory reset, but the flicker persists. Does anyone here know about this issue and if there is a fix for it? Or am I out my $550 CDN and have to try to sell it for parts on ebay?

Thanks for any info.
