To try fixing it yourself, first unplug your laptop, hold the power button for 30 seconds and restart the laptop. If you continue to see coloured lines, the issue is probably with the LCD screen, which will need to be replaced.

Remember, a cracked laptop screen can affect the overall functioning of the device in some cases.
