iPad (4th gen) screen scrambled (static) with smart cover.

Hello-


The screen on my iPad becomes scrambled when connecting/disconnecting smart cover. (image attached) I am afraid that something has been damaged by the magnets. Is there a solution to fix this? I could not find much help doing various searches.
