Bright patches (not bright spots?) on VPCZ1 FHD screen

Hey, so i got my screen replaced in November for bright spots so i do not think i have them again.

I have three patches of overly bright LCD/LED patches on the screen. They can be visibly seen on angles but still can be noticed normally. Its not that distracting but just that they are there...

Does anyone have any fixes for this or any explanations for why it might occur?

I'm still under warranty but the last time i sent it in to get my screen fixed, it took three weeks.



Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think it's physically damaged and you should send it to Sony to get it repaired. under warranty.

it seems like they're just splotches on the screen.

So i guess the solution is to get sony =(

I guess i have to wait after my exams before i turn it in.

My VPCZ1 got the same bright patch too; I sent it to the sony service center and they replaced the whole lcd panel for me in 3 days for free



but I will need to pay extra to extend the warranty to 3 years because of this

They call this "bruising," and it looks like, I don't know, a skin disorder or something (or the reverse of what an actual skin bruise looks like - bright instead of dark blotches). Same problem on my FHD, but along with another repair, took over a month for Sony to fix, replacing the screen entirely. I think the best suggestion is to have a bullet-proof case for carrying, and always put a protective cloth between the keyboard and screen. Like so many laptops, since they were first made, this one has way too little of a gap between the keyboard and screen, and I'd bet that pressure from the keys or pressure on the backside of the screen leads to the bruising (although I don't know for sure).

Oh, so is this based on physical damage or the so-called "wear and tear". I generally use a silicone skin on the keyboard and then i put their cloth in between. I treat this laptop like a baby but the bulletproof case might be overkill for a student's needs xD.

This is my second screen problem with the sony z since i purchased it in November, i wonder what they'll say...
