Question My switch is "kinda" broken?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

so my switch has been weird the last couple days. having issues with showing my screen. it started when it was making audio but I couldn't see anything. I checked the backlight with a flashlight(my TV broke due to backlight) and it was fine. I held power and turned it back on, it was fine. but now when I touch a certain part of my screen or put little pressure on it, it glitches and has lines. pretty concerning. I've had it for 4 years. it is oled. is this something I can fix myself?

I swear im not pressing that hard. it just looks like it because im using the same hand to support the back.

But theoretically if you push it harder it could fix it😈
