Is it a software or hardware issue? Image attached

Hello! When I took my eBook out of its case, the screen looked like this. It has been exactly one year and one week since I bought the device, so it’s no longer under warranty.

I need help to know whether you think the screen is broken and I should buy a replacement and repair it, or if it could be a software issue.

I haven’t dropped it or hit it, but it was inside my backpack.

Thank you very much!

@isdt good luck! use heat and 99% isopropyl alcohol (in small bits), it may help loosen the adhesive.

just make sure to check and see if the displays come as a digitizer with the display, or separately. some devices are laminated together and you cant just replace one or the other and both need to be replaced as one piece.
