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?

Re: dark gradient on the surround of the display area
Looks like uneven LCD backlighting to me.
If this bothers you too much, may need an (expensive) LCD replacement unfortunately.
