burn in Non Persistent Image Burn In

[Animekid117]

So I have an odd issue that I thought would never happen. I have a 2(ish) year old ASUS Q550LF-BSI7T21 laptop that has non persistent image burn in. What I mean by non persistent is that I will get an image or part of an image burned into my display if it stays there long enough (example: Chrome/IE/Edge search bar) but it will fade away if I close the offending item. I have tried numerous LCD dead pixel/stuck pixel/image burn in repair videos on YouTube and none of them seem to be able to fix a thing. Is this something that I should be concerned with, is this even supposed to be able to happen to IPS panels, is this something I should get repaired even though it would cost a lot (~150-450 USD) to fix? I just don't know what to do in this situation, this laptop maybe gets used once a week after you average all the times that I have used it over the last two years of ownership. This is also a recent issue and I'm not sure if me leaving it sleep for 3 days and killing the battery by letting it sit there for two weeks is the cause or not either, could that be the cause? Screen brightness doesn't seem to affect it and if the display loses power from me shutting it off with an ASUS function key and turn it back on, it goes away immediately? Do you guys have any recommendations? I would get a picture of it but it is so hard to see on camera that you may not be able to see it.

it is strange for it to happen with so little use. I would say save your money and use is towards a new laptop unless you cant see yourself upgrading or wanting to in the near future. And yes, IPS panels are susceptible to burn in, in a few years I suspect all 3 of my monitors will have a ghost of my task bar burnt into them forever because my PC has been on for about 15 hours a day since school has been out.

Well the thing about replacing this laptop is that it was a $1000 USD laptop that I was using for school but now I use my desktop for that purpose. This laptop would not be easy to replace, that and I just put an SSD in it.

Good thing I work for Geek Squad, I can at least attempt to get our service center to give me an employee discount since I am not letting a non ASUS certified repair center touch a touch screen laptop display repair.

ASUS has a map of where they are located and you basically have to UPS, FedEx, or USPS it to them.
