White bar on GBA SP screen.

I want to rehouse my old SP, just turned in on and discovered this white bar. Any fixes or will I have to buy a replacement screen?

Thank you, i tried gently massaging the screen and some of the bars are actually disappearing before some come back. trying to find a complete fix now.

What part of the screen did you ~massage ?

took the metal casing off, right above the ribbon cable at the bottom of the screen. It got rid of some of the lines but not a full fix. I'll prob just order a new screen tbh.
