P-7811FX backlight bleeding

As the topic suggests I am less than impressed with the amount of backlight bleeding I have on my current panel. I have a significant amount of backlight bleed on the bottom of my panel and I'm tossing up attempting to fix vs getting a new panel.

Before saying return it - not really an option, I'm in New Zealand so the nearest Bestbuy is an 13 odd hour flight away

Having experimented with pressure on the bezel I would estimate I need approx 1 - 1.5KG (2.2 - 3.3 pounds) pressure distributed across the entire bottom of the panel to reduce the bleeding to minimal levels. I have seen guides online where people place masking tape on the edges of the panel which in turn places extra on the panel due to the more snug fit between the bezel. However these are desktop units with a more ridged bezel. As such I am not very hopeful this would work on the P-7811FX with its quite flimsy bezel.

Does anyone have any constructive suggestions or comments on this please?

 

Yes, from now on please post your question in the appropriately related thread, as many have been made about solutions to backlight bleeding on this laptop.

More along the lines of what you're looking for: Your options are very limited if you can't get to a Best Buy, but I would really suggest calling them and having them pay for shipping of that one to them and for a new one to be shipped to you. If an exchange is really out of the question, there is little you can do that won't affect the cosmetics of your casing. Try rubbing the affected areas with a dry 100% cotton cloth, an old shirt, etc. Rub the "bubbles" to the sides of the screen.

 

Yikes, I think he just has back light leakage. No bubbles involved unless I'm reading it incorrectly. I have some leakage on bottom but does not bother me in real world usage. Yours may be more severe, hard to say.

Is this a new 7811 thread?

 

Sorry by "bubbles" I was just referring to the fact that normally, backlight bleeding or ghosting (are these the same thing, I think I've heard them used interchangeably), is normally caused by differences in pressure on the screen.

 

OK, I was just trying to differentiate between the phantom and mysterious marks some have on their screens (of the bubble variety) and the more normal edge light leaks. We need to invent terms for these things. Make a whole new 7811 lexicon for the screen anomalies maybe.

 

Sorry I didn't see the previous thread (not plural) on backlight bleeding specific to this model. If a mod would care to move this to the following thread it would be appreciated: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=3843299

Yes that's right Syngensmyth, there are no bubbles between the actual panel and its covering - purely backlight bleed due to a small gap at the bottom of the panel allowing backlight to come out from below.

I might just pull it apart and see how much play there is between the panel, the bezel and rest of the case and go from there.

 

Post if you have success. I may do something with it if you have success. But like I said, mine only shows up with black screen. It is the worst of any screen I have, but still seems to have no effect when not black. I would probably cause more trouble taking the darn thing apart.

 

Ok, well there is certainly nothing more substantial to the bezel then the flimsy plastic piece you see without disassembling it.

Given that is the case the only solution I can see would be trying to get something clamp the actual panel itself. A couple of those pieces of plastic they use to hang posters springs to mind.

I am going to see if I can dig some up today and trial.
