Fern shaped blemish on screen.

[AQuags1954]

Hi,

A strange 'fern leaf' shaped blemish has appeared on my screen just to the left of the Windows 'Start' icon.
The rest of the screen is clear and the laptop operates perfectly normally otherwise.
It may seem trivial but I don't want it to get any worse and then not be able to use my laptop.

TIA.

Hi @AQuags1954,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you see a fern-shaped blemish on your screen, it is likely that there is a dead or stuck pixel on your screen. Dead pixels are pixels that are permanently turned off and appear as black spots, while stuck pixels are pixels that are stuck in one color and can appear as colorful spots.

You can try some methods to fix the stuck or dead pixel, such as.

• Applying pressure to the affected area: Gently press the affected area with a soft cloth or a finger. This might help to unstick the pixel.
• Applying heat: Some people have reported success with fixing stuck or dead pixels by applying heat to the affected area using a hot towel or hairdryer. However, be cautious when applying heat to your screen, as excessive heat can damage the screen. 

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
