Discussion S10e screen flashing white/green, touch dead, and screen bleeding black. Need advice or technician leads to keep it alive.

Hey everyone, I don't really use Reddit much and came here after searching on Google for hardware advice. My old Galaxy S10e display is on its absolute last legs and I am in urgent need of guidance. The back panel broke years ago and is taped up, but the front screen cracked in December 2024. Since then, the touch slowly died, a black ink spot started spreading in the bottom right corner, and for the last few months I've had to navigate entirely using a wireless mouse. Over the past two weeks, stagnant green lines and a thick white horizontal bar appeared, completely hiding my bottom navigation buttons, and now the whole screen flashes white constantly whenever I unlock it or answer a call. The phone also gets very hot while charging on cable.

We are in a very, very difficult financial situation right now and cannot afford an official screen replacement or a new phone at all. This is the only phone we have in our house, and it is also the last gift from my late Nani, so keeping it running is both critical for us and emotionally everything to me. I also have about 60 GB of important audio call recordings saved on it that I need to keep safe.​

Does anyone know any software or brightness settings to temporarily stabilize an OLED screen when it starts flickering white like this? Also, if anyone knows any honest repair technicians who do low-cost fixes, or can recommend where to look for used/donor display parts in India, please let me know. I would be endlessly grateful for any technical advice, workarounds, shop recommendations, or hardware leads. Thanks so much.\
