MacBook Air M1 screen colors distort at certain angles (possible flex cable issue)

Hello, I’m a student using a MacBook Air M1 as my primary device for studies and projects. Recently, I’ve been facing a display issue where the screen colors become distorted when I open the laptop beyond around 90 degrees, but the display appears normal when kept around 45 degrees. From what I understand, this might be related to a flex cable issue. The laptop otherwise works perfectly, and I depend on it daily, but the repair cost quoted to me is around ₹45,000–₹50,000, which is very difficult for me to afford as a student. I would appreciate any advice on possible solutions, repair programs, or more affordable options to fix this issue. Thank you for your help.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.2
