How to remove pressure marks from LCD? (if possible)

#1 Post by AvalonXIII » Sun Oct 28, 2007 8:26 pm

Does anybody know how to remove pressure marks from LCD? I tried massaging the screen, run pixel fixing program but it all doesn't work, because this is not a dead pixel, just a region of the screen becomes brighter than the rest of the screen. Any help or input is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, these pressure marks cannot be removed.

I've never atempted to remove the marks, but I believe you would need to replace the diffuser panel in the LCD itself. Not a hard thing to do really, but the LCD is assembled in a clean room for a reason. One speck of dust would be amplified against the white background and would certainly be visible.
Someday when I have a spare LCD with the pressure marks, I will open it up and confirm, but for now I just live with them.

Common sense to some of us is unfortunately the higher education others strive to attain.

Wow, that sucks :( Thanks anyway guys
I have another question though, if it's not possible to completely remove those pressure marks, is it possible to alleviate their effects a little bit, like, say, make them less conspicuous or less bright?

Yes, use a darker wallpaper.
