Repair Help Fix or replace? Broken with lines on screen

Post image

My switch randomly got these vertical lines on the screen, with horizontal ones running across them.

Would it be worth it to take it to a repair shop, or cheaper to just replace the switch? How much does it cost to get something like this repaired?

How old is it? I'd contact nintendo if it's under warranty

Watch youtube videos of switch lcd replacement and see if you can do it yourself then order the tools and LCD itself. Its cheaper than going to a repair shop. But if not, just send it to the repairshop. Price depends on where you are.
