#Dark horizontal lines on laptop screen

There are 2 of them and the lower half of screen, close together. When I lower down the brightness, the lines spread all way down the screen. Putting pressure on the bezels fixes the spread and reduce the darkness of the lines. First there was only one line, but now there are two. The first one seemed to appear without any given sign, or damage, and the second one appeared after I turned it on today. The last night it was totally fine. These lines do not seem to disappear or reappear when I slowly open the lid. These lines decrease in darkness as I use the laptop, but do not disappear.

Is this issue covered over a normal warranty, not manufacturer but with the same conditions? Meaning the cause is not the user him/herself right?

if it's within the warranty period it should be covered, but if it's out of warranty you will probs have to pay for a replacement

And I forgot to mention one thing (stupid me): These lines decrease in darkness as I use the laptop, but do not disappear.

if it's still under that 6m warranty just bring it back to the shop and explain the issue otherwise not much u can do for a hardware issue
