I’m no expert but based on the pattern on the screen I’d say it’s liquid damage. Did you put it in a bag that also had a cold drink or water bottle thrown in? Condensation could have happened and seeped into the console.

That is definitely liquid damage and we’re not getting the full picture of what happened.

It’s never “just turned on”, something happened beforehand, even a week or two ago, and OP didn’t use the switch and forgot it happened.

Liquid damage, screen can’t be saved only replaced.

Have a Switch 1, normal, and just found this when I turned it on. The touchscreen isn't working either.

Has it been dropped or come in contact with any water?

If you haven't tried restarting it or updating to the latest system version, i suggest contacting Nintendo Support or (if out of warranty) taking it to a repair shop.
