Half my screen is composed of flickering lines without any physical damage to the screen

I am using a Mac air with silicon m2 chip and one day my Mac began to behave strangely after I used an ssd on it to transfer data with half my screen flickering. Now my left side is completely dead and there has been no physical damage caused to the Mac. Why is this?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0

Macbook Air M2 screen Hello, Just bought Macbook Air M2, activated 2 weeks ago. Suddenly one day it is showing vertical lines on left and horizontal lines at bottom. I took it to apple advisor and he said its internal screen is broken. I don`t understand how did it happen. I am a very careful user and have been using macs since 2016. He said it is not covered under warranty. There seems to be some manufacturing defect in screen which Apple needs to look into. There is no physical abuse, drop, any scratch on screen or laptop body. Please help and advise.

2nd Macbook Pro (2021) Screen Damaged Somehow What is going on with these computers? I had a Macbook pro for work from 2019-2021 with no issues at all. We just got upgrades starting 2022. The first one the screen went out by itself. No damage done whatsoever. It just randomly started pretty close to when i got it. It was replaced three days ago. I open my computer this morning and there's a hairline crack on the screen. It sits on a table. I haven't done anything to it and have no idea how this could happen. I've owned Macbooks since 2010 with not a single screen issue and now two in a row. This is not acceptable.

I hate to break it to you, but the screen is physically damaged.

The LCD panel is broken, even if the glass covering it is not.
