What did I do to my screen? (youtu.be)

I swear to God I just replaced this laptop screen last year and it ran me a pretty penny. Admittedly I had this in a not too protected position in my car today and when I opened it up I noticed these two whiteish spots

Buy the screen and do it yourself?

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not really the issue here

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sorry you are right. Looks like defective lcd screen. The lcd has multiple layers and if they work together to display things properly. Looks like lcd itself is fauly at those points whether due to temps or pressure on the screen delaminated the lcd. What was the warranty on thr work? Could you file a warranty claim?

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah way out of warranty, and I could technically do the repair but my God, this assembly is intricate asf, fun story, when I broke a bracket for the spacebar to hold properly and realized I couldn't fix it, 3 different repair shops were unable to get the entire keyboard assembly to fix it.

Besides, MSI does good work, I know I'll get it back clean and looking fresh.just a shame, I have to get my cars alignment done so this'll have to wait

[–] StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Eh msi, not bashing but hard to get parts for. I used to work for a repair shop for over 3 years. Often times you have to replace the whole top assembly to get replacement keyboard, cant just replace keyboard assembly.

Any who. Good luck with replacement! Sorry couldnt be of more assistance.

It almost looks like those spots specifically are emitting more light than they should be, fuuuck, this is gonna have to be a whole LCD replacement again isn't it

Oh yeah, unless you don't mind bright bloches.
