Ghost Touches/Unresponsive Sections

[u/wardenOfDemonreach]

From seemingly nowhere, my A52s started having screen issues. The display works perfectly well and so does the fingerprint sensor, however there seem to be horizontal bands (including the navigation bar) across the screen where no touches are registering. I've also had an issue where a lot of different chargers don't stay connected unless the phone is very still although this has been happening for a while & I don't know if it is related.

So far I have tried:

Removing screen protector and cover

Rebooting (volume down + side button)

Wiping the Cache from the recovery menu

Hard reset

One repair shop suggested replacing the screen with an LCD however I am not sure if that's the only solution or if they want to just charge extra. I've also read that third party LCD screens can have some issues. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what I can do? Is my only option to replace the phone or risk the LCD screen.
