Accidentally microwaved my pixel 7

I didn't sleep well...
Went to microwave my coffee, and put my phone in there instead. 8 seconds. Its still ringing and making notifications noises, but the screen won't work.
Repair shop isn't confident that it's only a screen issue.
Is it trash?
$200 for a new screen

You are lucky it didn't cause a fire. You should probably get a new phone because there is likely more damage than just the screen. You will be trying to fix random issues forever.

Handling your phone before fully caffeinated is never a good thing.........

With all the metal in a phone, it probably looks like a small bomb went off inside. See what little you can get trading it in and buy a new phone. It’s not going to be worth the aggravation going forward.

Ever put a CD in the microwave? This is what the inside of your phone looks like now...

I’m mesmerized… it looks like they are 3D printing the Deathstar…

This may be the dumbest thing I’ve heard of someone doing. Was there a huge hangover involved?
I do admit to making coffee and forgetting to put a cup under the dispenser once or twice.

This... how do you put your phone in the microwave?

I mean... I've even made nice pots of hot water before... but putting the phone in the microwave?

I can see putting it IN the microwave. But then turning the microwave on and "cooking" the phone is something completely different...

Microwaving CDs/CDRs and DVDs/dvd-+rs is great for getting rid of redundant discs.
Never tried it with laserdiscs.
Microwaving isn’t jump usb drives does nothing.
