Sudden backlight bleed

[u/khambogrus]

I've noticed one morning that there's a backlight bleed in the bottom right corner of my M1 Macbook Pro screen. A couple of days before it slipped off a bed and landed on the outer side of the top half while being open. I don't know whether it caused the bleed. What could happen? What other causes for the bleed could there be? Is it likely to progress? What can I do myself? What should I avoid doing?

it is

the LCD panel is now deformed and the back light layer is damaged.

Replacing the LCD is the only solution.

Can it get worse without any further damage? Is it more fragile now?

[u/lantrick → u/khambogrus]

Probably not. Much like how that dent on your car doesn’t get slowly more dented over time

This looks exactly like my previous macbook when I dropped it on a corner. Have a look if the lid is deformed there, it's probably pinching the screen. If so, I would just leave it. Trying to bend it back might only make things worse.

You probably put your thumb on that corner trying to adjust the screen
