Broken screen issue on Framework 13 (lemmy.zip)

Hello, I have been using Framework 13 for 2 years now and this is the 3rd time I have to replace my screen. My screen is black partly with pixel lines etc. First time was 1.5 months after buying, second time was 6 months after the first one and this time is right after the waranty date.

I just want to ask how are your experience with your screen ? Is it a general issue or just me being unlucky, it has been a pretty rough month for me so far :-(

Thank you very much!

I've had a Framework 13 for coming up on 5 years now, and I've only had to replace the screen once: I over stuffed a laptop bag with 3 laptops through a cross country flight and when I pulled it back out the screen was dead. That was after about 2 years of daily use. I got a laptop sleeve to protect the laptop and haven't had any issues since.

I am thinking about getting the CNC lid, though, just to make it a little more robust.

To me the screen just decided to die in a random day, I did not see any obvious reason. Compare to other brands, I have a feeling that the chasis does not provide enough protection to the screen and it seems very fragile :/

For the CNC lid, is it more robust at all or it just offers a more premium looks ?

Milled out of a solid block of 6063 aluminum, so I'm assuming more robust compared to the plastic
