Circular marks left on TV screen after using suction cups

[marillo]

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a bit of an issue with my TV. I used suction cups to handle the panel while waiting for new backlights to arrive, and they ended up staying on the screen for a few days. Now that I’ve removed them, I can see two large circular marks where the cups were.

The screen wasn’t powered on during that time, but the circles are still clearly visible when the TV is off (and I think slightly visible even when it’s on).

Any tips for fixing it would be greatly appreciated. Cleaning doesnt help. I guess it s pressure damage and not reversible anymore?

Thanks!

it will be disappear by time when TV working and became little warm .. don't play with them to avoid becoming issue.

okay will try to keep the tv running a while. hopefully it works. the thing is, i left the suction cups on the panel for a few days on while waitng for replacement backlights. i wanted to replace the backlight but the ones i got were defective, so I thought just to leave the suction cups to minimize risk, putting them off and on again, due to damage risks...

Ahi ahi ahi.. the only thing i can think is that you manage to suck an cut perfectly away a portion of the polarizing film filter, i say so because watching the first photo i can see on the bottom of one circle a small depot of dust, thus use your finger nail and scratch a little on that perimeter, if you feel a gap then you are cooked, when you will put on the tv, you.will see 4 big totally white disks..!!

Are those the metal suction cups? I've seen this before with metal ones and they provide too much suction... Plastic ones should be used in the future.

As diah said it may go away.. I've had something similar but not to that extent happen and walked away a day or two to come back to totally normal.
