Laptop "Screen" Has a Dark Spot (Pressure Mark)

4.5

There is a faint, dark "bruise" on the screen that is visible on white backgrounds.

Symptoms
  • Dark spot
  • Bruise-like mark
  • Uneven brightness
Possible Causes
  • Physical pressure
  • Carrying in a tight bag
  • Object left on keyboard

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check for External Pressure

Ensure your laptop bag isn't too tight or pressing against the lid.

2

Avoid Pressing the Lid

Never put heavy books on top of your closed laptop.

3

Replace LCD Panel

Pressure marks are physical damage to the liquid crystals and cannot be fixed with software.

When to See a Technician

Pressure marks are often caused by the keyboard or a crumb pressing against the screen when the lid is closed.
