Screen is black, but touch works fine

My Pixel 2 began having a problem where the screen would freeze while audio continued for about 10 seconds at a time, then one day it froze and didn’t unfreeze, and when I locked the phone, the screen stayed black. I know that the phone is still operating normally, as I can use Google Assistant to control bluetooth, and if I remember where buttons are, I can tap them and feel the haptic feedback. Also, I can view screenshots on my computer, so I can kind of see what is happening in the phone, but the display won’t turn on.

I would assume this was a broken screen, but it seems odd to me that touch works perfectly fine. Is anyone familiar with this issue?

Update: I just found out I can make the screen turn back on by pressing really hard on the left middle of the screen.

The device doesn't appear damaged, and there isn't a specific incident I can think of that would have triggered this. I think the spot I'm pressing on is near where the connector for the display would be.

So i know the pixal series has been known to have issues but the only thing i can really think of is some how/ some way the lcd got damaged or the connector got unplugged. the part that is confusing is those connectors are usually in pretty tight and do require a bit of force to unplug them compared to early iphone series connectors but thats the best possible issue i can think of
