vertical lines across my ipad screen

Three thin coloured lines down the right side. No drop that I know of. Restarted twice, still there. They don't appear in screenshots, so I'm guessing hardware. Worth repairing on an older iPad?

Take a screenshot while the lines are showing and look at it on another device. If the lines aren't in the screenshot, it's the display hardware, not software. Force restart first anyway (volume up, volume down, then hold the top button until the logo). If they're still there after that, and especially if the iPad was dropped or pressed hard at some point, it's the screen or its connector, and that's a repair job, not a setting.
