This is the corner where the light bleed issue is.
What are the chances that a stress point from bad manufacturing can cause this?
I've sent the unit back to ASUS servicing centre and their engineers are checking whether its user fault or manufacturing. (i'm pretty damn sure my bed didnt do this while i'm showering).
I've seen LCD damage that was a result of impact and it had crack lines from the impact point. Any suggestions/opinions on how this came about?

man that **** looks weird... no damage on the outside at all?
and you sure no one dropped it while you were in the shower?

Aww That is a cracked lcd panel. In my experience warranty never covers this, sadly... Guess you have to try to argue with Asus, if you`re 100% sure it wasn`t dropped etc.

This.
Sucks. Have a dog? Cat? GF? LCDs don't crack under normal usage. Was it exposed to the humidity from the shower?

i was the only one at home at that time .. sigh.

Dark patch on screen after drop (pic inside) - advice needed

Hi all
So....... I dropped my phone and now the screen has an ugly dark patch appear in the corner.
See picture.
The patch has grown over the last couple of days so I am wondering if it is moisture since my gf threw a damp towel on it afterwards just to make things worse!
Anyone seen this before?
Just got back from hols today so was planning on taking it apart but wanted some advice first.
Might be a job for travel insurance, but I'd prefer to keep this one if it is repairable.
Thanks!

Anyone?

Doesn't look like moisture to me, think the drop might have damaged some internal workings. I would just get it fixed under warrenty or in your travel insurance.
Ok thanks for the response. I'll see I can find locally.

Same problem
Hi,
i have the same problem. Dark patch appeared after (a short) drop and got much bigger after a few days.
@N-C have you figured anything out? I would appreciate any hint/advice.
I eventually managed to get it fixed under the warranty. They replaced the screen.

[Q] Adhesive along frame?

Hi there,
I got my Nook tablet today, and almost immediately noticed a fair amount of adhesive at the left bottom corner of the frame, and a bit further up the left side. I read that the inside of the device contains large amounts of adhesive, but is it normal for it to actually show outside the frame? I took a picture of it:

I'd try to clean it out of there, but it is rather rough stuff and I don't want to work it around too hard.
Thanks, Nir
Wow, that is completely unacceptable. You should exchange it immediately if it came that way.

Absolutely agree with Phonoob. Go get that thing exchanged asap!
Yea ide return it.

My thought too. Back it goes I guess, thanks for chiming in!
I'd say return it as well, but if you wanted to just clean it use Goo Gone or even lighter fluid.

And catch fire! Read the fine print. No harsh chemical should be used to clean product. Just return/exchange for new unit.
Dead Pixel
Take it back. Mine had a dead pixel or screen imperfection right in the middle and I took it back. Exchange was easy.

Keyboard Dock Protective Tape Coming Off

Has anyone else experienced this - the protective, soft tape that lines the inside of the piece where the tablet connects to the keyboard is coming off. My guess is that the minimal additional width added by my screen protector must be pushing it and making it come off. Has anyone else had this happen? I haven't had the keyboard dock for more than a couple of months, so I'm a little ticked off that this is happening. Any ideas how I might be able to replace this myself, or if something like this could be covered under warranty? (I'll try to get some pictures to better illustrate what's happening)
Thanks!

Edit: Photos - as you can see from the pics, it's only the front side that comes in contact with the bottom of the screen; the back is untouched.

mines was doing the same thing, i got pissed off and pulled it off, LMAO u dont need it if u already got a screen protector on ur device as the protector will help protect the screen from scratch damage, thats what they were made for, mines just leave little sticky resude like at the center cause there is some sticky stuff still left there, i just wipe it off and its good to go

Thanks - I was thinking that same thing. I still might try to get a replacement through Staples as a manufacturing defect (??). If they say no, I'll just pull it off.

[Q] Screen Broken - Advice

Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.

General Oppo Find N screen already broken

Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
