I totally get it, Hgarza. But hey, what if it’s just a small hardware issue? I mean, isn’t it worth a go? Maybe even pry it open and check for loose connections?

Pry it open? Yikes! I wouldn’t trust myself with that. Can’t we leave the risky DIY stuff for the pros?
Haha! Fair point, Debra. But there are easy fixes too. Sometimes just resetting the phone can resolve display problems.

Does anyone know if an OLED screen is more prone to having these dark patches compared to LCD? I’ve read mixed opinions online.

Definitely! OLED screens can suffer from burn-in issues, which might lead to dark patches. Going with an LCD can sometimes save you from that hassle.
Has anyone tried recalibrating and it didn’t work? Just curious about the odds of success before I give it a shot…
I did! I recalibrated and the patch is still there. I think it might be a hardware issue for me.
I’ve noticed a dark patch on my screen too! Sometimes it goes away if I press lightly, but I wonder if that’s a sign of a bigger issue.
That sounds annoying! I experienced similar issues, and it turned out to be a cracked screen. Definitely consult a professional if the patch starts spreading.
If you’re seeing discoloration, it might be time for a repair. Look for pixelation or horizontal lines as signs of serious damage!
I agree! One time, I ignored a small patch and it grew to cover the entire screen. Don’t wait too long!
I had a similar issue, and I found a great repair shop that does a quick fix! Just make sure to check reviews first.

What shop did you go to? I could use some recommendations!
I usually fix my own devices, but the dark patches worry me. If they spread, I’ll definitely consult a pro. Is it worth it?
It could be worth it. Rather pay now than pay later if the damage worsens!
Just don’t try to DIY if you’re unsure! If in doubt, seek a pro. I’ve seen horrors from failed home repairs!
True! I once attempted my own repair and ended up with extra parts! Now I always hire help.
TBH, it could be worse—imagine having a dark patch and a cracked screen! Always check for warranty coverage first!
Haha, true! But also, a patch can feel like a doom meme waiting to happen!
