Where exactly do you see evidence of a broken substrate (which is what I take "broken screen" or "damaged screen" as meaning) in those pictures? To me it's clearly an electronics/controller fault as all the lines I see are straight. Any broken substrate I've ever seen has at least one curved or diagonal line, and part of the screen that no longer update. I don't see either of those things evident on this screen. What I do see is STRAIGHT lines and a screen that changes over the whole thing but is messed up. That screams controller/electronic issues rather than a broken substrate. The one picture of the book cover has curved lines, but from what I can see those are from the actual picture rather than an artifact on the screen.
