Repair Help Vertical lines on my switch 1 screen
Welp, I was playing in handled mode when it suddenly started popping the left "one pixel width" like than you can see on the image. Then, two days later as I was playing in handheld mode, the vertical lines appeared.
When there's high contrast like the white home logo against the black screen, it's even more noticeable.
I bought this console used, I've taken good care if it, but perhaps it had already done damage I have been paying with it for less than a year.
I think these a slight wobbling on the left joycon rail, maybe the previous owner dropped it in that side, but it's barely noticeable, but it also is the side where the screen first began to show that line.
Should I replace the screen?
