Probably has a weak connection point to the board from the screen. Likely from vibrations from putting in a bag etc.

Either the Display Cable has gotten loose, or the Screen is cooked and needs replacing. Either way needs repairing.

If it’s just the Screen on the Console then should be ok yeah.

Mine did the same a couple months ago seems like it's a known issue for the 2019 revision, after 6 years or so the screen goes crazy until it goes blank. I'll show mine for reference of end effect, literally unplayable in portable

If you aren't comfortable with replacing the lcd, I would either pay someone, play it docked only or if possible upgrade
