The number of malfunctions in mobile gadgets is growing in proportion to the emergence of new technologies. Competition is recognized as the culprit of this trouble, because in the race for success you cannot hesitate, otherwise your place under the sun will be taken by another company. As a result, developers do not have time to test devices properly, and imperfect smartphones fall into the hands of consumers.
Mistakes are different: from serious, disrupting the device's performance, to minor, but spoiling the aesthetic component. One of these problems is considered to be a yellow spot on the phone screen.
What a malfunction looks like
More than half of modern smartphones are not immune from this trouble. Most often, it is mentioned by users of devices from well-known brands: Apple, HTC, Samsung (less often than others). But during operation for a period of two years, such a defect can also appear in any brand of device.
Yellow spot on the phone screen can be anywhere, so when buying it is recommended to carefully examine the gadget. It is worth remembering that most often thisthe malfunction is visible on a white background, for example, if the search results are open. The intensity of the defect varies: sometimes it looks like a slight blackout on the display closer to a brownish tint, but there are also very bright spots, as if oil or glue was spilled under the glass.
What is happening?
If a yellow spot appears on the phone screen, there are several reasons:
- device falling from a great height;
- strong blow to the body from the side or directly to the display;
- long exposure to direct sunlight;
- liquid ingress;
- strong heat from an external source (stove, fire, battery, etc.);
- the same as in the previous paragraph, but due to a faulty battery or processor.
All these factors can cause the failure of transistors in some pixels. Because of this, the latter stop working correctly, producing various effects: from colored or duller areas to a "gasoline" rainbow on the display.
Don't despair, this can still be fixed at this stage.
How to remove the yellow spot from the phone screen?
Attention! The methods described below are not suitable if the gadget malfunction was caused by mechanical damage. In this case, only a complete replacement of the display will help. It is produced both independently and in any service center, so there is no need to worry too much about this.
So, what to do in other situations?Unfortunately, there are not many options.
Smartphone overheating
If the defect is caused by the influence of high temperatures, you should try to cool the device. To do this, the device will need to be turned off, put in a sealed bag and … placed in the refrigerator. No, this is not a joke on inexperienced gadget owners! This method really helps, but there is one caveat: the temperature in the chamber must be at least +8 degrees Celsius.
Keep your smartphone cool for just 10 minutes. It is then removed and left to "warm up" at room temperature. The next time you turn on the yellow spot on the phone screen should disappear.
However, this method does not save from the secondary appearance of a defect.
Spontaneous discovery
If the gadget has not been exposed to high temperatures, you can try another method. To do this, you need a special program (like ScreenFix Deluxe only for smartphones), which starts a high-speed change in pixel colors in the desired area. Sometimes this helps to remove the yellow spot on the phone screen, but not in case of a factory display failure.
Then it remains only to contact the warranty service or service center.
