[Q] Is this a hardware fault? topic

Hi guys

I have recently acquired a Nexus 6 and therefore do not know its history...

When I turn it on, the Google logo appears but half of the screen is corrupt.

That "corruption" then disappears downwards and the four balls appear. The phone then appears to restart. The device is recognised in Device Manager as 'MTP Device'.

I have attached two images to illustrate the problem.

Is this a faulty motherboard?
