I accidentaly lightly hit my bread board with my pi pico and ili9341 on it now the ili9341 is just white

Question

So i was in my chair and i clicked run script and when i got up i tripped and lightly hit my breadboard and then the screen (ili9341) went white. Before i hit it, it was working but not anymore. I tryed decconect the pico and put it back on then but it didn't work so i tryed re downloading (i only put it into boot mode then put the circuitpy file and didn't use the flash_nuke file) circuitpy and didn't work as well, wiring seems fine and i dont think i broke anything, i just almost touched it.

Note: Actually i fixed it. I think it was just a little connection problem. It does it often but i figured it all so it's good, thx for helping and the links in the reponse are helpfull so thx.

framebuf — frame buffer manipulation - micropython.org
This module provides a general frame buffer which can be used to create bitmap images, which can then be sent to a display.

class FrameBuffer
The FrameBuffer class provides a pixel buffer which can be drawn upon with pixels, lines, rectangles, ellipses, polygons, text and even other FrameBuffers. It is useful when generating output for displays.

For example:

import framebuf

# FrameBuffer needs 2 bytes for every RGB565 pixel
fbuf = framebuf.FrameBuffer(bytearray(100 * 10 * 2), 100, 10, framebuf.RGB565)

fbuf.fill(0)
fbuf.text('MicroPython!', 0, 0, 0xffff)
fbuf.hline(0, 9, 96, 0xffff)
