[@commentfreely5443]

can't see it. but i bought a laptop with a white spot

[@1dir951]

Awesome, good job.. ;)

[@ChintanMeena]

silly me , my own led has this white spot problem and when u zoomed in to show that you fixed the screen i said , it is still there :| after 5 seconds i realized it was my own screen -_-'

[@THEMATT222]

I usually watch your camera vids but DAM!!! I can't believe you fit my every needs!

[@Skywing452]

Seeing you actually go step by step with your process is very rare, and very helpful. i have a small spot like this on my monitor that i was planning on attempting to repair, but seeing you take your monitor apart was nerve wracking and my monitor was too expensive for me to want to tinker with so i’ve decided that im going to leave it lol

[@matto29]

That was surprisingly compelling. I've never had that issue but I had no idea what the inside of a monitor looked like. Like an episode of How It's Made!

[@geraldundone]

This is exactly the kind of response I was going for. Excellent. I hope others feel that way too.

[@Bada4ever]

This is great!! I don't see a small light, I actually see 16 bright lights in the back ground for my monitor. I feel like it is dead now, but I am one to never give up and will open it up and clean.

[@afrodailytv4335]

it worked?

[@JojoJack]

Man... I bought a monitor and it has a white spot that is TOTALLY IDENTICAL to yours! Even the location! Well, return it in the middle of the pandemic is complicated for me. So, maybe I'll try that solution, some day... Thanks for the video.

[@PeteWoronowski]

Excellent Gerald, appreciate the tip. Cheers, Pete

[@alighoroubi1148]

amazing and very satisfying video. especially when i saw every things works even better!

[@cem5945]

Oh my God ! I’m glad that I found your video. I have the exact same problem with my BenQ monitor

[@giorgit91]

Did you fix it?

[@S3thc0n]

Awesome! It's very hard to find any information about this kind of issue, and while none of the spots on my cheap monitor are strong enough to warrant action it is good to know where they come from and that there is no need to worry.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks for this comment. I'm glad it was helpful. 😃

[@kh23797]

Thanks for the tutorial. This is my job for tomorrow on a 23 in. IIYAMA monitor. The spot is about ¼ in. across. Hope I get lucky!

[@andreasbrand3191]

HI Gerald, you should use what is called 'dark field imaging' in order to locate uneven and light-scattering features. Just shine a light on it from a very shallow angle, or rather a large angle relative to the normal incidence, but the flash lamp like on the table radiating horizontally along the surface. Also, instead of keep wiping dust particles away, just use an air blower. Wearing gloves is also a good idea, because every little fatty residue will change the light scattering, just like smudges from your skin's fat on a phone. You could introduce more uneven lighting by it. Oh and congratulations on fixing it, feels good to repair something in the day and age where most people just know how to 'consume' something new instead of even trying! You're not crazy, I'd do the even nerdier videos, so no worries there mate :P

[@hazmatcinemaxxx]

I got an LG GP850-B last month and noticed 2 small bright dots at the bottom of the screen today. I believe I have this exact issue on my monitor. I'm going to contact warranty and if they deny I will live with the issue till the warranty is expired in 11 months then take it to a repair shop and have them fix it. Thanks for the video.

[@sayhellotoroy]

I have around 10 of those dots acros the laptop screen (like the footprint of some keys). Lenovo t440p. I wonder if this screen is simillarly built or not

[@airingcupboard]

Great repair. Good video. Like the glasses btw.

[@geraldundone]

Thanks! Appreciate this comment a lot. Cheers! 😃

[@bluenote9580]

Have the same problem with my iPad Pro and apparently so does many many people. Only shows up on white backdrop. Can’t really see it on a black background and it’s a small like 1 inch or so bright spot typically above the home button. I’m happy my warranty gets me a replacement but still a pain

[@Andrey-il8rh]

Man, I'm so glad for you! The look of the person who actually disassemble the whole panel due to a small pale dot - that's priceless, such moments of perfection - that's what make me happy :) I have the same dot on my laptop screen that just drives me nuts in the same way but it's a brand new Razer Blade and I think I'm not that bold to tear it all apart in the same way 🤔

[@geraldundone]

Ha. Thanks! I'm glad it was entertaining. It was a scary process. 😃

[@Andrey-il8rh]

@@geraldundone video itself didn't create a scary impression at all 😊 Nicely done! Btw, the moment with Bob Ross was unexpected very funny! 😂

[@SaytMcspots]

That Bob Ross clip tho xD Great job getting your monitor back to tip top shape!

[@geraldundone]

Yeah! :) It just came to me when I was editing. I was like, "What does that sound remind me of? OH YEAH! Bob Ross!"

[@pendolinofan643]

This can also be tiny plastic diffusers on top of the led backlights falling off (usually heat / humidity causes the glue to weaken over time and they drop off). Pull of that last diffuser panel and you may find several lying around if this methos doesnt get rid of the spot. Gluing these back on should solve the issue

[@mathesar]

I recently had one of these bright spots appear on my phone's screen and it was definitely not there before, I have a habit of using the phones built in timer and it uses a white background (samsung clock app). I wonder what would cause them to appear later in life, It's not visible on certain colors, mostly white.

[@hollingharris659]

Finally, my entire screen is covered in these dots. its really oboius when the screen is white

[@neggas-]

does it spread overtime?

[@rgshadow3813]

[@scottsimmons5846]

Respect Gerald good job ... personally if your keeping the device for yourself try learning to live with it first before trying this delicate task as you need space to do it and can't be rushed

[@zemimsky]

i was genuinely afraid-ish for your monitor -- omg :D -- this was damn suspense movie! xD glad you managed to fix it and re-assemble it :D woohooo!! dude! congrats :D

[@geraldundone]

I was pretty afraid too. :D I figured it was 50/50 if it ever worked again.

[@theotherone5455]

I made the purchased of a BenQ BL2423PT a few months ago, when using my browser I noticed a circular bright spot on the left most side of the screen, I took the monitor out of the stand and applied so light pressure to even out the screen and used some compressed air to clean the inside area. This got rid if the spot and it has keep working with no bright spots for a couple of months and I hope it to remain like that until the time to get a new monitor come.

[@AniketKumar-rg1ib]

@gerald undone can I just leave/ignore these white spots as they are only visible in white screen and not causing me any problems?

[@cdwjustin]

I have a similar problem with the new 82in TV I bought off ebay. 2grand it's annoying but what can I do.

[@my2centz196]

I took a TV apart and replaced a few of the leds. I used super glue to glue the lenses back on and some of them fell off. I had a beautiful picture except I had 6 evenly spaces out white spots lol. Anyway took it back apart found a glue that would hold them on properly but now I have a bunch of white spots but not as bright or evenly spaces like it's the leds and the pictures seems super bright so bright I have to turn the brightness down even further then usually and lite screens look weird like white is more of a silver look. I'm wondering it the screen is ruined or could it be the display or just the reflectors

[@DanNeedhamVisual]

I have an issue where the pixels are darker instead of lighter, and its right at the edges after cleaning my screen with monitor wipes. I'm pretty sure the cleaning solution got round the edge of the panel. Reckon it's worth having a look inside, or would this kind of thing be permanent damage?

[@theiansm]

I don't know why this is in my recommendation, but yeah, I watched it.

[@doriansorzano]

It's my turn today.

[@commonsenselyrics]

i have 3 of these exact white dots on my laptop screen right now :c but i don't dare to try it - i need my laptop for sch work

[@lowkey3820]

@@tuffy1612 it shouldn't get worse. I have a really small one on my laptop had it a year and it hasn't gotten worse. Its hardly noticable on white screens unless you look hard for it and pretty much gone on any other color so I just rather live with it then attempt this

[@HelipOfficial]

Lol same here and the worst part of it is my laptop is relatively brand new like only a month old and i already see three spots, one of which is really bright in white color but disappears at any other color. I was about to do the same, like what he did in the video except the toothpaste trick, but i wouldn't dare to take it apart and void my warranty.

[@RubenKelevra]

They are probably permanent damage by pressure from the back

[@Mindful2222]

@@HelipOfficial i have one in my laptop and i dont know if it is new or i just noticed it, it is only noticeable in white color and disappears in other colors, since your laptop is new you can replace it or use the warranty to fix it.

[@TheDog7118]

It easy get rid it with laptop screen all your need to duo is rub some pressure on back side of panel but need remove the screen first. Don't use too mush pressure or you crack LCD layer of screen. Note this will cause more IPS glow that may last more then 24 hours.

[@venkatsindhur7313]

Bro for my lap it have 3dots like 3cm Lshape white dot can i use like that means i will spread totally r not bro

[@tpayne57]

Good video! i have an lcd panel where the back part (i'm assuming aluminum) has a dent causing my white spot. would i be able to take apart the lcd part and flatten out the aluminum? i dont see that part in the breakdown. i assume that it is below the piece you are buffing.

[@patrickday4206]

I've done this before it's really hard to not get dust in but works

[@pancholaptopus5954]

Well done Gerald, fantastic systematic approach! thanks for sharing

[@billymurphy3]

[@Macphotographs]

I had the same problem in almost the same spot! Great video

[@Mos_Ion_Roata]

I have an BENQ with similar problems, mine almost have half of a Nike-ish logo pressure "thing" that looks like is made in relief. Funny thing is I used this monitor from 2013 until now ( 2020 ) and it developed this issue only now. I don't understand if I applied too much pressure clean it, it it was something done to when it was manufactured... I am so curios how this happened and why after so many years... Is your monitor okay after 2 years since you fix it?

[@Niko-zl5hn]

i have the same problem, also is it possible to remove the anti glare sticker from it? you know to make it more vibrant has anyone done this?

[@iamgamerad]

Thank you soo much! I've fixed mine I've found lots of white dots at the end, have to use a 100% cotton handkerchief to wiped those bastards and it's totally GREAT! I hope the tape ( a white and looks like paper, not a double sided ) that I have used won't mess up.

[@britishengfeast.]

btw have you any idea how to fix stuck pixel beside using jscreenfix ?

[@duckmyass]

If you are trying to basically sand down a ridge on the diffusion panel I would suggest you invest in some sheets of "micro mesh" from one of their finishing kits. It is a special sand paper that goes to a 12,000 grit level where you can actually get a mirror polish on things like plastic. I've used it to refinish plastic lenses on old watches and if you want to get a truly smooth surface there is nothing better for plastics.

[@tom__55]

which toothpaste you used? aquafresh will be good? have the same small spot that is particularly visible on bright colors. what have you done to the screen when it was showing half the image on the boot and did it automatically recovered on next boot?

We have this Sony Smart TV. I don't want to mesh around with it coz still has its warranty. They change the LCD screen twice but the problem still existed. I give them another 2 weeks to figure it out the problem until I saw your video. The most technique you should try is download a color pattern most specially blue and green one. Maybe you can still spot more white pixels.

I am not sure what is doing it, mabye just wear on those sheets. So it lasted years before this problem started in 2020 and got worse. If same thing could be done to mine that sure would take a lot of work.

With or without rma if you buy from benq itself not from 3rd party shop, you can service it cost around 20 - 40 (meybe more).

[@TruAnRksT]

Seems like you could have just left that diffuser panel out. Anyway what can we do about small impact damage spots of the surface of the screen? Seems like the active element on BenQ monitors is directly on the surface, any damage there appears as white spots on dark backgrounds and black spots on white.
