Pink line on Macbook Air screen

I've had this MacBook Air for quite a while now, around 2022 is when I got it. As of earlier this year, a small pink line appeared on the top of my screen but it only appears when the screen is black (like when I open Spotify or watch a movie or smth). It's not causing any issues but it's just really annoying to see when the screen is black. Any ideas how to get rid of it?

It is a hardware issue with the Display Assembly. You can confirm this diagnosis by taking a screenshot, then viewing that screenshot on another display.....or you can view it on that laptop, but make sure to move the picture down a bit so the screenshot picture doesn't overlap the pink line. If you do not see the pink line in the screenshot, then you have confirmed a hardware issue with the Display Assembly that will need to be repaired by Apple or an AASP if you don't want to have that pink line anymore.
