Dark spots under the LCD

I've started to notice several dark spots under the LCD of my MBP. I have thoroughly cleaned the surface of the LCD and the spots are certainly somewhere below the surface. Has anyone ever seen something like this before? To the best of my knowledge nothing has been spilled on the laptop. They are around all the edges of the screen.

I don't know what these are, but they could be some sort of a manufacturing defect. Are you under warranty? If so, you should contact Apple about it.
Good luck!

  • Why is there a slightly dark spot on the bottom left hand corner on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen after I cleaned it?

    I was cleaning it and when I turn it on again there's this dark spot in the bottom left hand corner and I was like what? So I rebooted my device and it was still there. It still works but I'm afraid it might break. I've cleaned this many times before and this never happened! Please Help! *sobs*

    Weird things happen at factories. After onboxing my new phone I took the plastic off and it had a small fingerprint on the side. I didn't even touch the phone.

  • Do I have to live with dark/dead pixels with my new 15" MBP? Yesterday I bought one and have one dark spot in the middle of the screen.

    Hello
    Yesterday I bought a 15" MBP and found a dark spot in the middle of its screen right away while in the 1st-time-welcome-boot. What a welcome. Do I have to live with it? It is exactly one pixel missing its yellow subpixel. It would be ok if it would be in some corner - but its right in the middle of the screen. Suggestions/experiences in this matter anyone?

    Thanks for your suggestions - took it back - got a new, mint, shiny one

  • Dust under the LCD cover, sticky/non-responsive keyboard..

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find information on this.
    I purchased this phone, outright, from Bell when they finally started selling it a couple of weeks ago.  Since then, the phone has aquired a large amount of dust under the LCD cover (and continues to do so).  The keys sometimes "stick" or feel like they cannot be pushed down (but are registering).
    I contacted my carrier, Bell, over the phone and the CSR told me to go into a local Bell store to get it checked out.
    I went to my local Bell store and a worker there told me that I can't get it exchanged and that I should just open the phone myself to clean out the dust and check the keyboard.
    Is this right?
    They're telling me to void the warranty on this brand new phone regarding problems I'm having with it.  Does anyone have any tips on what I should do about this?
    My previous phone (which was a Pearl 8130 that I had for 3 years) didn't collect any dust under the LCD screen and had no keyboard issues.

    your warranty and support is through your carrier you need to be firm and explain it better to them your issue. You should not have dust on the LCD so soon with a new device (unless it is damaged) as for sticky keys, i never had a sticky key with the hundreds of devices we have unless some one spilled something on it. If it is a factory defect, again you have to get this taken care of with your carrier and they are the first line in warranty support.
    Good Luck.

  • Dust speckles under the LCD monitor screen

    Hi, 
    I have a Canon Rebel T3i and have had it for a year and a half.I love it. However, lately I've noticed several speckles of dust under the LCD monitor screen. it's not affecting my pictures but is kind of distracting when i'm looking at the pictures on the monitor. Anyone else familiar with this problem or know what I can do about this?

    "... picture and is only on the display ..."
    Boy you have throughly confused this ol'boy.  What exactly is the dislay?  Are you talking in the view finder?  Are you talking the LCD screen on the back of the camera?
    It is easy to get dust in the view finder but, I think, impossibile to get dust under the LCD display.
    If you are talking the view finder, get a Rocket Blower.  The rest are junk.

  • Dark spot on the apple logo

    there is a dark spot on the apple logo on my macbook pro. my screen is fine and i can see clearly. im not sure what to do? will this mean something worse is going to happen on the screen?

    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.  They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).  If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • Series of Dark Spots at the Screen Bottom

    Hi all,
    Just purchased my Macbook Pro 15" w/ Anti-Glare LCD screen. This is the 4th Mac I've owned over the years so I'm familiar with them. The second time I went to use it, I noticed a series of dark spots positioned horizontally at the bottom of the screen. Each one is absolutely even in shape, size and spacing and it looks as though each spot fans out into the top of the screen, gradually decreasing in intensity.
    Unless a person has a white background or black background towards the bottom of the screen, it's not as visible but it is definitely there, it looks funny and I'm wondering if that's just the way it is or is this a defect?
    Thanks,
    -Evan

    I have spots at the bottom and left side of my LCD. First appeared to look as the screen was dirty (and as mentioned by another post, only really visible on light or white background). They are not the same size. Took it to Apple Authorized repair, tech said it looked like the liquid (of LCD) was "leaking." Said he needed to send photo to Apple, Apple denied repair/replacement citing abuse / environmental (excessive heat-cold). Needless to say I am not a happy camper, my MBP is a very pampered laptop, no abuse or exposure to cold/heat extremes. Tech said this could eventually "creep" across screen. On top of that, who wants a computer with a "defective" screen? I have appealed to Apple to reconsider their denial; will post here when I hear back.

  • How does one add compilation CD's already mixed by the same artist.  I want to put them in their OWN spot under the artist and I want to NAME the album.  Is it possible?  Or am I just out of luck.  I've tried everything.

    I want to find out how to add my mixed CD's under the folder of the artist.  I want to save them on my computer in itunes.  I want to NAME the album, but so far I haven't been able to do that.  I named ONE and then ALL the rest of the CD's I am trying to save are put in the same place.  Very frustrating.
    These are mixed Christmas songs done by the same artist, and some are the same songs.  But the albums are separate.  Why can't I give an album I am exporting a name?

    Indeed, generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
    Don't try to use sort fields to merge different things together as it quickly goes wrong. These should be used consistently to make all things with one value sort as if they had a different one, e.g. Bowie, David to make David Bowie sort under B.

  • So I dropped my 4s in the lake. I got it apart and now she's working well was. They where a dark spot on the screen so I ordered a new LCD screen but a blue one. Well I get it in put it all back together and the touch screen doesn't work how do I fix this

    ??????????

    Find a competent repair shop.
    There are NO legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
    Unfortunately, since you opened it yourself, you are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement from Apple.

  • My screen is turning fuzzy green in all the darker spots on the screen

  • Monitor: How come there is a dark spot on the screen?

    When I turn on my HP touchsmart 610 monitor there is almost like a shadow on the screen. What is the cause of this?

    I'm not quite sure what it is you're seeing, but if it's a Terminal window (click on the window and see if you see the "Terminal" menu at the very top left of the screen) you can close it just like any other application - go to the Terminal menu and click "Quit Terminal".
    If that's not it, it's possible you're seeing a Voiceover border - go to System Preferences, Universal Access, click Voiceover and turn it off if it's on.

  • When I take a picture with my iphone 5, there's always this dark spot in the picture. Is there a way to get this to go away or is me camera damaged?

    I have dropped my iPhone many times, and I think this has resulted from this.

    If you have dropped and damaged your iPhone then at Apple, Replacement iPhone 5 is $229, if you have AppleCare + it will be $50. When you let Genius evaluate your iPhone they may actually decide it is covered by Warranty and be no charge, but be prepared for $229 Replacent cost.

  • Anyone ever had black spots or dark spots?

    anyone ever had black spots or dark spots on their ipods screen. Any gen.

    I have the same problem theres dark spots under the screen and it no longer works. Ipod will not fix it even though i took very good care of my ipod and it dosent even have the slightest scratch on the exterior. I think ipod should fix this because it is obviously a defect and not caused by abuse.
