Solved! dark spots on my laptop screen that are growing in size

[michaelmunene732]

I have a toshiba tecra A50, just a few days ago some dark spots suddenly appeared on my screen. the spots seem to be increasing in size. I had previously done a system reset to clear some viruses that had invaded by browsers. Could that be related?

Change your display soon

Yes it could be virus or malware related. A reset, unless it was a full hard reset (which removes all data and saves none) can leave things on the device still. I would suggest some good deep scans for malware, viruses, spyware, trojans, etc.

If all of that comes up fine, then I would either contact the manufacturer (if the device is under warranty) or take it to a local tech to have the display replaced.

Are these spots perfectly round, or jagged looking with straight lines?

Hi, your screen is cracked, change it and everything will be fine, and it has nothing to do with viruses, stupid answer.

Did you find out what dark spot on your screen was? I have a mark on my screen that seems to be getting bigger. It looked in the
beginning like a small ant had gotten under my stuck under my screen. It now has grown 3x the small ant into a little black blotch.
Was yours a virus?
