Laptop Screen Replacement Weirdness...

HI guys,

Being the "Techy" friend, I offered to have a go at replacing a laptop screen if my friend purchased the part off ebay.

Essentially I have managed to complete it, and the screen works perfectly, bar one thing. There are some weird numbers in the bottom corner that actually seem to be a part of the LCD, almost as if they're stuck pixels, at first I thought it was a screen protector I forgot to take off, however I've just checked and there is no protector over the screen, any ideas?

take it off and inspect the LCD with a flashlight, see if its engraved anywhere

Looks like the replacement screen was not only used, but was rebuilt. It is a manufacturer's stamp and it's usually on one of the diffuser layers BEHIND the backlight layer. Someone got the layers mixed up putting it together. I don't always like going to ebay unless I have to. For replacement screens I usually go to laptopscreen.com to get my replacement screens. They actually have great customer service if you happen to receive or order the wrong part, and replace if you get a bad one. Out of several hundred orders in the last 5 years, I may have had 2 come DOA, if at all.
