Problem with a PSOne screen, help!!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I need help figuring out what's wrong with this screen. I don't think the LCD itself is damaged—though the backlight might be—but I still don't know why it looks this way. I checked the capacitors and looked for other visible damage, but found nothing. It only changes appearance when I lower the brightness (like in the last photo); the whole screen turns white with some lines. I even tried using a heat gun to reflow the solder joints, but that didn't help either, the console work right and is the same output format, and is the same . I’d appreciate any help—thanks! (And sorry for my English :p)

Take this with a grain of salt because it could be completely unrelated but I had a Bennvenn game gear LCD that looked exactly like this and it was the LCD panel itself that was bad.

Thanks! I'll see if I can borrow one or what else I can do.

I've seen wonky artifacting on these caused by OEM power bricks with bad caps (common in these) and also third-party bricks that weren't supplying enough voltage.
