Posted June 21, 2020 Hello everyone. I hope you’re doing well. I have recently purchased a second hand Sony vaio laptop and it has a 15.5” full hd ips panel. It has two bright spots (bright areas that are more visible in brighter colors like white) in the middle of the screen that are really really annoying. The problem is that there aren’t any compatible 15.5” panels in any market with a reasonable price tag. There are so many 15.6” panels but they don’t fit my screen. My question is: Can I buy a 15.6” panel, open it up, cut the internal layers so they fit my laptop and then replace my laptop layers with the new ones? Does it work?

Posted June 21, 2020 No you cannot do that. Slightest touch to the screen with a sharp object will damage it beyond repair. Try buying the same laptop on second hand and damaged but with a good screen and replace with that.

I suppose the problem is not related to the backlit of the display. Is cause by scratched light filters. I just want to replace those and I’m not going to touch anything with a sharp object. I just want to cut the 15.6” light filtering papers to fit my 15.5” display. Isn’t that at least theoretically possible? I just want to cut the edges of the papers and not anything more.

Posted June 21, 2020 Better chance on youtube to find something like this. I don't believe it's possible to separate the 2 as it will possibly break. Buy the cheapest 15.6 and try? Like £10/$10 max.
