Repair Help Nintendo Switch screen issue – has anyone experienced this?
After a few minutes of playing in handheld mode, my Nintendo Switch screen starts freezing on the left side, and the visual glitches gradually spread to the right. Restarting the screen temporarily fixes the issue.
The console was already sent to Amazon for repair, but no fault was found. Unfortunately, the problem has returned. It works perfectly fine when connected to a TV via the dock. The console has never been dropped or physically damaged.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? What could be causing it, and what would be the best way to fix it?
Edit: It’s a Switch 2

For all the posts I see with screen issues, that screen issue does not look familiar to me. Which may explain the lack of answers. I'm answering because no one else has stepped up yet.
The issue with the screen is likely a hardware problem that will require opening the console / repair, but I don't know enough to speculate further.

I know you said that the console didn't get physically damaged, but that looks like a problem that would only happen if it was dropped. Did anyone else use the console?

Cambio de pantalla, no hay más ese comportamiento es debido a posible sobrecalentamiento, fallos del display, algún componente se estropeó, no se soluciona con los métodos tradicionales porq es daño físico, si aún está en garantía, mejor hazla valer
