So this started yesterday. On morning, nothing happened. I turned off the laptop and closed it. then on night, there is a small black spot on bottom left side, and the left side had gray color. Also there were some red/green horizontal lines. Then I tried to restart and close-reopen the laptop, and 1/5 bottom area turned gray. Then I turned it off, and keep the laptop open. And today, somehow its getting worse, and black spot on bottom left decreased.

Is it cracked? There is nothing happened on that day. Or is it burnt? Or maybe there are some dust particle stuck inside? Help me please!

I am guessing that your LCD screen is dying, plain and simple.

Is your laptop still under warranty?


This is what Wikipedia says about such issues:
Defective pixel - Wikipedia

I would suggest that you backup everything stored on your laptop, before eventually attempting to try to fix anything yourself.

Fyi, some people say that stuck pixels can be fixed by running pixel-fixing software, but I myself never succeeded. Some also mention 'manual' methods. But be aware that it could also make things worse...

For your information:
How to Fix a Stuck Pixel on an LCD Monitor

...but again, I would personally send it for repairs.

It looks like something has impacted the display. You can even see a crack...

This can happen if something heavy was placed on it, or if someone stood on it, or if someone hit it with something solid. The black part is caused by the back light diffuser being distorted behind the LCD layer so that light is no longer distributed from the area. The white part is a result of a broken LCD connection matrix so that the LCD pixels cannot be controlled over part of the display.

In short your display has been physically broken. You will need a new display.
