Definitely a backlight problem, good luck with the replacement.

Dang, if you had gotten it graded it'd be worth like $10k. Joking

, good thing you sent it to Nintendo.

Please let me know how this goes!

My switch 2 has the same exact issue. I thought they were finger prints. But they look exactly like the photos, same spacing and placement

I wonder what causes this issue

Next thing you know Nintendo will make Switch 2's with replaceable screens.

For paying members only (NSO), free users don't get it. Xbox gives free cloud service to all, that's one thing they did right.

Oh no... almost look like one old phone I saw at work. It was the digitizer falling of the screen. It didn't take any commands but a lot of "glue dots".

EDIT: Old as like 10-15 years ago.

If you know somebody IRL with a Switch (2) you can add your account to it and use the local save data transfer feature. I'm not sure if it works Switch 2 -> Switch 1 though (even if it does, obviously you can't transfer Switch 2 only game saves to a Switch 1)

This happened to my nephews switch2 , i think it turned out to be a bad backlight.

Nintendo as a rule, though unpromised because shit happens, will backup your data saves and all and put it on the new hardware replacement you get. They just won't do it/can't do it when something is fried enough they can't retrieve the data. I've had help from them in the past with handhelds (3DS and NS1 models my kids stuff) before and things were just lifted and it was like I just sent the system on vacation for about a couple weeks.
