You've got SDA wired to A4 on the arduino and SCL wired to A5? What code are you using, the Hello World example?
I2c LCD randomly corrupted
1 project | /r/arduino | 6 Mar 2021

You define screen twice, once in setup() and once in loop(). Defining it in loop() means you create and initialize the LCD very rapidly, many times per second. If you are using this library then look at this example code to see how to use the library.
