    You haven't specified which resolution lcd (the W230SS has three options), but laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk has the fhd in stock and may supply the other two on request:
    1. N133HSE-EA1 (fhd/1080p)
    2. LQ133T1JW02 (wqhd/1440p)
    3. LTN133YL01-L01 (qhd/1800p)
    You can order any of those, but if the resolution differs from the old panel then you'll have to ask your reseller in order to buy a matching cable from them. The lcd seller will also supply a 'compatible' panel, meaning that the actual lcd received may be different from the listing.

    Hi, the resolution is full HD, matte option. Will the "compatible" panel fit on the laptop without any problems?

    Thx for the help

    Yes, it'll do fine. No guarantees the new panel will be free from backlight bleed, however.

    If the spot is right at the edge then it's more likely that the bezel is too tightly squeezed against the lcd. Removing the bezel completely is a good test for that possibility and, if so, it's simply a matter of sanding the inner edge accordingly. If the spot is in the middle then the backlight panel has been forced against the lcd layer, either by mishandling during assemble or something heavy placed on the display lid. That would not be easily fixed, unfortunately, and a new display is likely the preferable option.
