Screen White Pressure Point

Block Image

Ive been seeing this white spot on my screen, and the reps at Best Buy said it was a pressure point on the screen. I tried using a small vacuum pump to try and pull the screen back up from that spot, but it hasn’t fixed it.

Best Buy Geek Squad really doesn’t know much about repair other than selling a solution. That white spot could be a couple things like a pressure point if the frame was bent or the battery swelling, although that doesn’t seem likely as that tablet came out just last year. It could also be a defective LCD.

Any thoughts on how I could possibly fix it? Everything else works fine. Just that the spot itself is right there in my line of sight and what I’ve tried so far doesn’t work

@ibsinrg you'll have to take it apart to find out what's wrong with it before you can fix it. I would start by taking the screen off but be very careful. The glass is fused to the LCD, so if you damage the glass or LCD, you'll need to buy a whole new screen assembly. Follow the ifixit guides to take it apart.
