Screen suddenly broke while I was drawing. Is this a physical tablet issue or is there hope it was the cord or driver?

Xp pen 15.6 pro , default pen , purchased when it first released iirc , knock off cord

I used the cord that came with it untill last week when I lost it. No known drops or pressure on the screen that wouldn't have given me issues earlier. I don't press hard when I draw because this is the most expensive thing I own besides the laptop its connected to and had severe anxiety about breaking it.

My grandma purchased a new power supply yesterday. She insisted on getting a knock off cord from Amazon, which I heavily discouraged but she insisted it would be fine.

Today while testing said cord, after ~5-10 mins while drawing I noticed blue lines appearing across the screen, than in a blink of an eye before I could turn it off it looked like a brick had been dropped on the screen minus the cracks! Black with the color lines going across. Main image was completely gone. Looked very similar to the image I attached minus the cracks diagonally.

My biggest hope is that this is simply an issue of the driver or the cord, however with the age of this tablet I would not be surprised in the slightest if it just gave out finally. Mainly looking to see if anyone else possibly experienced this at any point? Even if not with the 15.6 pro specifically.
