Strange or not? Two more strongly illuminated points on the screen.
 

Is this normal? I'm a fresh user of n900. I bought a used n900 and I noticed it after the first glance.
Here are some photos showing what's going on (two more strongly illuminated points):

heating points ? I noticed than on an older lappy

Re: Strange or not? Two more strongly illuminated points on the screen.
 

Absolutely normal. Those points are visible, most notably, in white backgrounds - during normal usage, they're 0 problem (frankly, I completely forget about them)

Anyway, I have yet to see N900 that have been used for few months (of constant runtime) that *doesn't* exhibit those heat points.

Thanks :D


By the way - does N9 has these points? Anyone know?

i got the same here. hahahaha i was thought my kid doing something bad to this phone. glad to know it is normal

This happens when the LCD panel or it's backlight unit is under pressure/malformed.

You can see the same effect if you push your laptop's lcd panel with your finger. Sometimes if you drop the device or some foreign object enters between the back reflector and the lcd panel and damages them such spots can appear.

Heh. I forgot, that N9 has amoled :o
So nevermind

Same spots on more or less the same place, here

This is not a case related to the stain on my screen? What I mean is:

I wonder how it came to being :) The stain is concave to the screen.
First I thought it's a gorilla glass, but n900 hasn't that (but I'm not sure :p).

No. As Estel said, every N900 will have it sooner or later. And no, N900 does not have a gorilla glass, whatever that is.

Not in this case - the ones we're talking about, are 100% caused by temperature difference. TIP: Look at schematics what components are directly under those brighter points (when device is closed, i.e. no keyboard slided-out) ;)

gorilla glass is another "awesome" thing that came soon after capacitive screen nonsense - it is hardened glass that is more resistant to scratches, but instead, breaks at the slightest excuse (like, when you drop your device from 5 centimeters height, cause it slipped from your fingers during placing it in desk). Usually forcing you to buy overpriced replacements, or cheap Chinese ones, that, for a change, break without *any* excuses (i.e. just by lying somewhere, due to tension of being glued to device by double-side tape, at the edges).

Add to this the fact that thing is, usually, glued to the lower parts by some infernal double-side tape, requiring bumbo-jumbo during replacing, and you have whole picture. Been through this with tablet of one family member, and as you may imagine, i sincerely "love" gorilla glass and it's derivatives.

what temperature difference? ithe LED is to close to the screen.

Re: Strange or not? Two more strongly illuminated points on the screen.
 

same here identical spots

Re: Strange or not? Two more strongly illuminated points on the screen.
 

Funny enough, I have the same exact spots as you guys have posted (and confirmed). My n900 is from Nov 09 and still going strong.
