Hi All!
Long time lurker, first time poster here. I have a mid 2014 13" MBP that I'm considering replacing the battery of, and wondered over the course of planning this, whether or not I would be able to fix a screen issue that I've lived with for the past ~5 years, shown below !

Lol so there is about 10% of the screen missing on the right, and lines of dead pixels (?) across the length of the screen. This happened after being dropped, and I have learned to live with it due to a screen replacement being prohibitively expensive (especially so in Ireland, I think). Since I would have to open up the laptop to replace the battery, I wondered if this issue might be caused by a loose connection and so could be fixed? I also wonder if opening the laptop up would have extra potential for more damage, due to the screen already being a bit broken!
What do you think? Any possibility of some magic happening here? Or should I leave it alone just in case... 🤔
(Oh! And I realise that maybe I could have gotten this replaced as part of the program that ran for screens a few years ago, but I had no idea it was happening when it was happening... 🤷♀️)
