PowerShot SD1000 Is this a cracked LCD screen?

 I have the Canon PowerShot SD1000. I was wondering if this is a cracked LCD screen and if so, how could I fix it. Thank you!

If you see it no matter what is being displayed, images or menus, then there is an issue with the display.

Thank you so much! Is there any way I could fix it?

Unfortunately, according to the link enclosed, Canon no longer provide support for this model - it's quite a old unit.

Thanks. Do I need to worry about the cracks spreading, or is it fine to use the camera?

Greetings ,

It's cracked for sure.  You can use it until it stops working, but I'd be careful when putting it near your face or eye.  It's time for a new camera 🤗 and you have the perfect excuse.

Is there any way that I could fix it myself?

I doubt spare parts are available. You might find an old one that doesn’t work and buy it for spare parts. But costs to repair are far outweighing buying another camera.
