Not a completely silly one =)
I didn’t and can’t be sure, until I can be sure everything else is working.

But there are a couple of omens pointing at the direction I suspect:
- There is no physical damage on the screen,
- It is much more common for the data/structure of a storage device to be corrupted than the screen flaking (in my limited view)
- The LED indicator is behaving bizarrely and very differently from the normal operation flow
- And, maybe the most importantly, when connected to the computer the FAT32 partition of the eMMC doesn’t mount at all.

Now, if you’re satisfied with this explanation the immediate next question is “How did you rule out an electrically dead eMMC?” That is much harder to rule out, in my opinion, and still not sure if that is the case, just hoping it is not
