Bright Lines on Laptop Screen

[Top-Hat Meerkat]

Hi,

 

I own a Lenovo Ideapad 710s, and have noticed these bright lines on my screen (please see the image attached). When I dim the laptop screen, they dim too, but are always brighter than the rest of the screen, so they are always visible. It's getting annoying. If anyone knows what's going on, and/or knows a fix, please let me know.

 

Additional info: I've had the laptop for between 2 and 3 years, and it's still running fast but crashes sometimes (may have to ask about this another time...).

Laptop case that may have been compressed against the screen:

 

I'm a bit suspicious the laptop case (see above) I had it in has applied too much pressure to the display when placed in a bag with other books, causing damage, maybe to the backlight? The laptop case has a sort of hexagonal jagged pattern, that I figured was there for a good reason... but maybe the display casing wasn't strong enough and the case damaged it over time. Anyways, what do you guys think? Hopefully you'll have better ideas.

 

Thanks in advance
