Dark black spots around the edges of LCD TV
I'm having a bit of a problem here...I have a Memorex 32" 1080i LCD TV which is about 8 months old and I just noticed a dark black spot at the top of the picture. From what I can tell, they're not dead pixels because it fades to the actual picture around the edges and it is slightly transparent. Nothing has been spilled in it nor has it been touched or bumped. I've tried applying pressure and holding a magnet to the area but that has done nothing.
Also, you can't tell in the picture, but just above the black spot is a little patch of "clear" area where you can see some of the picture. Sort of like a "U" shape. Any ideas what could of caused this, or better yet, how to fix it?
Thank you!

This issue is tape from the edge of the panel falling onto the screen.You will have to remove the cabinet and the panel from the bezel(front cabinet).remove the screws from the lcd outer edge. Take of the tape.Be very carfull of the ribbon cable that goes to the lcd controller and to the lcd screen itself. They break easy. If you do , its over. you will need a new panel. to much money and work. best to leave it alone.I have fixed it several times for people with warrentys. It is just anoying but will not hurt your tv.
