Odd coloring on screen

[RiCEADDiCTBOY]

so i decided to open my macbook...and low and behold the screen is perfect...

BUT...as i looked closer - right near the center of the screen is a pear shaped light grey!!!! wth is this? its about half the size of penny. i figured it was maybe from the screen protector so i tried cleaning it off - it wont come off!!! please help me! its not a dead pixel...

Do you have a picture?

 

[JamesGorman]

It might be light coming in from the apple logo on the back of the computer.

 

[iToaster]

Put your hand over the logo on the back, if it goes away, it's light coming through the logo.

its not directly center...more towards the bottom. its REALLY REALLY bothering me! i am hoping it will go away...i keep trying to clean the screen..hoping it will go away...

UGH!

sadly i dont have a camera...the best description i can give is like a light grey blotch....

 

[JamesGorman]

Have you tried restarting just to see if it does anything?

Is it an image on the screen or something physically stuck to/marking the glass? Try all the usuals, restart reset PRAM, repair permissions....

I'm really, REALLY thinking that this is it.

Put it on a dark background / turn the screen off and shine a torch on the screen.

If its something pysically on the screen like grease or dirt or whatever try using some VERY VERY dilute mild detergent on a damp cloth...if its a unibody then windex or windolene may work!

 

[RiCEADDiCTBOY]

i used eye glass cleaner, diluted cleaning, turning off the lights, covered my hand behind the screen, restarting the computer...its still there!!

so i a screen bruising? is there no fix for it? will it go away? i am so angry right now...i have such a beautiful screen that i am afraid to take it back and find three dead pixels and not the same screen i have right now!

 

[RiCEADDiCTBOY]

So I called Apple and they said I should take it back...but, couldn't tell me what it was...

LAME LAME LAME LAME!

...watch, when I go there - "AAFES rep: Oh, I'm sorry we are sold out."

i have the crappiest luck this week.
