dark gradient on the surround of the display area

#1 Post by Renz » Mon Nov 02, 2020 5:23 pm

Hi there,

My P50 screen is showing some dark gradient on the surround of the display area, it seems to be a hardware fault as it appears when a slight pressure is applied at the back of the screen and think that it might be coming from a controller card at the back of the screen.

It started by doing it just sometimes, however now it's more often so I'm concerned that I have to do something about it.

It returns to normal when I close the screen and reopen

Would a replacement of just the screen would fix that?

Looks like uneven LCD backlighting to me.

If this bothers you too much, may need an (expensive) LCD replacement unfortunately.
