Galaxy S2 - Blue Screen Issue

Hi all,
I turned on my Galaxy S2 this morning and the screen is a very dark blue. I've tried several things to fix it - removing the battery, letting it cool down, starting up in safe mode, and so on, but despite all this it remains a deep, dark blue. There is some normal colouring to the right hand side of the screen, but the rest seems to have gotten darker since I first turned it on today.
It was absolutely fine last night - I was using it to listen to music and turned it off when I went to bed as normal. The problem only arose this morning.
I've really had enough of this handset - aside from being the only high-end mobile I've ever bought, it's also been the most troublesome. I had to fork out £150 to fix it over the summer, the SIM card reader has been broken for about three months so it won't even make any calls/texts, and now this as well. I've lost my work recently and have literally zero money - I can't even afford myself a cheap handset as a replacement right now, so this is a problem I really didn't need.
Has anyone else suffered a similar issue? If so, any recommendations for what I could try to do, or has my phone had it now?

It does look like your problem can only be solved with a repair unfortunately. Sorry I can't be of much help.
I've been so unlucky with this phone it's unreal. It fell out of a hole in the lining of my backpack in the summer, and I had to spend £150 having a new screen put in.
The SIM card reader has since stopped working, conveniently two days after I changed network for the first time in 9 years.
And now this problem too. I've had four Samsung phones in the past decade. I'm now doubting whether I want another, or whether it's time for a change...when I can afford it in of course.
