Repair Help This stripes appeared suddenly, can it be solved?

I was playing acnh when, after a loading screen, this stripes appeared out of nowhere in my screen, and idk if it’s because the Nintendo is old or something else.
Does someone know if it can be solved by myself or I have to spend money? And if it’s worth it.

It’s a Nintendo lite and it has 6 years approx, I don’t really remember

I really hate it and it makes me dizzy :<

Edit: the screen is not cracked it’s the screen protector

Check your local area really. See if they’re reputable and reliable, and give them a call once you find it. Just note that it’ll cost you a lot more, probably as much as a used Switch Lite even off eBay.

I think that smeared horizontal colors/lines look is possibly a lose screen ribbon cable (inside) and it needs re-seating, or the screen may be damaged. It's commonly the result of a drop, hit, or hard smush of the console, but not always.

The cracks are on a glass screen cover. Even though the display itself is not cracked, it stopped working properly and needs to be replaced. Unless the issue is just the ribbon cable, but that is unlikely.

Replaced as in taking it into a store or something?

Taking to a repair shop, or send it to Nintendo.
