shut-down screen for reference. got it as one of the last gifts my mum ever gave me back in 2017 before we had to deal with her cancer. I don't even know when this happened as it was fine yesterday.
But, as title says, a massive crack appeared despite never leaving it open for longer than I am playing, and keeping it in my pocket with nothing that could crack a screen, nor keeping anything ontop of it that could possibly crack it. worst part, is the touchscreen is totally fine.
(this console has been dropped once in it's life)
it hurts too especially since I don't have a way to move my games off this thing as I dont have an income to spend on any sd card to USB-A adapters to just play the games I was on an emulator,
nor do I have the money to SOMEHOW find a screen replacement and replace it, nor have the technical know-how to do do. (if that's even possible)
so goodbye it is, old girl. you did well. should I be as emotional as I am for this console? no. but it hurts all the same
not really looking for advice. just… rambling. When/if I get a replacement screen or console, perhaps I'd just like to know how to avoid this.

Small attendum: I don’t know if its a crack of the cables in the hinge that are causing this. ~~i can’t SEE a crack when its off~~ but, either way I haven’t the knowhow or tools/money to fix it
Edit: there is 100% a crack, its very thin but gnargly.
