i knocked over a cup before this happened but it's hard to believe that it caused it because the cup definitely did not hit the monitor hard, maybe this was caused by a drop of water on the monitor that i didn't clean?

a pink line came up 1/5 up the bottom of the screen, branched in 3-4 lines at the bottom. i read that applying slight pressure might help, but it widened instead. is this an internal leak or dead pixels? i am running a pixel flashing app now but i don't know if it will help.

can it be fixed/repaired? i also would like to know where else i could post this in hardware forums by suggestion, thanks in advance

here's a photo of the area where it got spread

yah dont press if its spreading it the other lcd i forget the damn names but u may be sol never dealth with it but yah;/

didn't understand the last half but thanks

Rubbing out dead pixels does work but that isn't a dead pixel. Looks as if you cracked one if the LCD, er.. Well I don't mean the screen but it's like you displaced the liquid almost. Though it doesn't look like any dead pixels I've seen.

any suggestions on how this can be fixed?

I've tried looking at pics on Google but I can't find any that even look close to it.

well it's basically a line that runs down, on most backgrounds it shows as pink, when i check different colors in full screen it seems like some red and green pixels aren't showing, in blue the line is almost invisible

*someone suggested that water might have gotten in, so i should try to dry it

I'm not sure how water got in.

That's a small crack you have there.



Not really, no. You can replace the whole panel but a cracked LCD really isn't fixable. I hope that's not a laptop.

so are they dead?
