How to fix pressure points on LCD Screen?

We all wish to have an amazing display on our PC and TV screens. However, getting so is only possible when you buy a great quality display. In some cases, even after great care, it is impossible to maintain a good screen. Slight pressure and mismanagement can lead to the creation of pressure points on an LCD. It is possible because the liquid crystals are liable to be pressured and will ultimately end up with pressure points after a few years of use.

Now the question is. Should you replace that LCD or repair it all on your own? In some cases, people just get annoyed and tend to get rid of the LCD. This approach is fair enough if you have the money to buy another LCD. However, in some cases, doing so would be a waste of time and money.

You might be really surprised to know that you can actually fix this issue at home without much struggle. In this article, we intend to share with you a few tips that will help you in removing the pressure points on your LCD.

The Simple Method

The reason why we labeled it as the simple method was because of its science. You do not require any type of tool for this method.

All you are supposed to do is observe your laptop or LCD. Then shutting it down, and fixing the pressure points while the screen is turned on, will worsen the situation. While doing this method, many people tend to think that it will be better to observe the screen when it is turned on and fix it at that time. It might seem intelligent, but it’s not. The reason why anyone would think that keeping the screen turned on is good is because the idea that it would help them understand if the method is carrying any good results.

Now once your laptop or LCD is turned off, you should try to apply a little pressure on the points where there is the fault. Make sure that you try to release the air trapped inside the screen.

To do so, you must press the screen from a little distance from the spot. Now slide your finger/hands towards the spot. When you do so, you will see that the spot is now moving, and you can take it to the border of the screen. Move it till you reach the border of the LCD. Now you may leave it.
