Would need new screen to fix and new screens are only sold with rest of the reader. Diagonal lines on screen is one sign of damaged screen. Your screen looked good when off with image before damage. When it was turned on screen refreshed showing damage. Often damage is caused by twisting reader while in back pack of case. It doesn't take much to cause this damage. I broke one laying on console between front car seats with a little elbow pressure. Pelican Case company sells water proof rigid cases for phones and tablets that can protect reader in back pack or suitcase. Walmart also sells a case like the pelican case for less money. Make a rigid wood case custom fit for you reader will also provide good protection but not water proof. I carry my Kobo Mini in shirt pocket or front loose fitting trouser pocket with no case. Wish I could buy another one as backup spare. Have even taken ereader on roller coaster rides without damage. Luck and careful, more luck than careful.
